Did anyone else raise an eyebrow on the silencer parts when retrieving the good doctor? I'm guessing the sniper was using subsonic ammunition...or else the silent gunshots are playing to the usual hollywood farce. If so, I'm kinda dissapointed. Unless they were using some super secret squirrel SEALS shit that normal people wouldn't know about.

Well in all honesty I attended a special range day at this last shot show and actually ran into a silenced .308 that was about that quite. It was quite amusing not to mention the cartridge cases were made of see thru plastic but that's another thing we're talking about noise decibels. F

Makes sense, non-metallic casing would not "clang" upon ejection. Assuming they hold up to the firing, but then probably lower pressures (and no FTE if bolt-action).

Anyway back to movies.

After Act of Valor, two other great ones have been LONE SURVIVOR and of course AMERICAN SNIPER.

And today's necrophiliac award goes to "oldfart" for reviving a 3 year old thread.  :worship:

Someday someone may kill you with your own gun, but they should have to beat you to death with it because it is empty.

Yeah, I know.
But I just love that swcc boat scene! I had to watch it again.
Coincidentally, the movie plot predicts the current jihadi plot in the news TODAY, calling out for attacks in the Mall of America or other malls.

Good movie.  I still get chicken skin seeing my friend's name listed on the list of fallen SEALs since 9/11 every time I see it.
