Movie Theater Generation Kill - M40

[mike1128]

Thought it was pretty cool how you can see the bullet trace in the left side of the spotter as it travels and hits the first guy. And also the accuracy of the weapons and equipment used in this series.

2nd movie is just freakin hilarious at how the Marines act and the way the Sgt Major talks at the end.

That was a good series, definitely one of the most accurate portrayal's of the Marine Corps I've seen to date.

The M40 scene though not too sure if they could have landed both shots like that on the first try. It's doable just not with the M40's our STA guys had though. Their M40's barrels were so shot out they told me it would be pure luck to get 1 MOA out of them.

Back at ya man. I've said it 109 times or so on occasion.

I need to get back at that actually.

Gotta love Generation kill. Did you know Rudy Reyes actually plays himself in that film?

Re: Generation Kill - M40

I've said it a couple of times to myself... either on the gun or other times when I just needed to cop a chill...

yup.... Reyes is a cool cat from what I hear. never met the dude.

Re: Generation Kill - M40

I was pretty surprised to find out Reyes played himself too. He did an interview about it with some local news show. He is really fruity in real life too

Fruity Rudy! He really is a killer BA. Great series! Reading the book after I read "Shooter" and "Blood Makes the Grass Grow Greener"

I've got all but three episodes on TiVo, wish they'd replay the series so I could snag the missing ones to trasfer over to a tape archive.

Yeah man. Go to Circuit City and try and snag a copy that's 50 off, otherwise it's like... 60 bucks.
