Guy Incognito: /* Misidentified grenades? */

[[Image:fyeodvd.jpg|thumb|none|300px|DVD cover for ''For Your Eyes Only'' (1981)]]
==Machine gun==
After reviewing the movie I think I've discovered a machine gun not featured in the article
When Bond leaves the warhouse during the gunfight he is stopped by a Locque henchman firing what I believe is a MG. I cant identify it 100%, but judging by the brief screens I have of the scene in question I'd say its a german. MG34 or MG42. I'll be uploading the screens in a few days. [[User:Dudster32|Dudster32]] 14:31, 2 July 2012 (CDT)

:User "Ben41" beat me too it and uploaded screens of the MG42/34 in question. Thanks man :) [[User:Dudster32|Dudster32]] 13:57, 6 July 2012 (CDT)

== Biathlon rifle, too loud? ==

Brief question: The "Biathlon rifle" Kriegler is seen using is a .22 long right?
Then how come it makes such a fecking loud noise when firing? :P [[User:Dudster32|Dudester32]] ([[User talk:Dudster32|talk]]) 15:57, 10 May 2014 (EDT)
:According to wikipedia, .22LR didn't become the standard for biathlon until 1978, just three years before release. It's entirely possible the rifle they had on hand was still chambered in a larger round. --[[User:Funkychinaman|Funkychinaman]] ([[User talk:Funkychinaman|talk]]) 22:08, 10 May 2014 (EDT)
::You might be right. I dont know anything about biathlon rifles except I know one when I see one. Caliber is another question though. I'm do some more google-jutsu and see if I can find the exact model like in the movie. Might get lucky! [[User:Dudster32|Dudester32]] ([[User talk:Dudster32|talk]]) 06:59, 12 May 2014 (EDT)

::After watching the movie again I feel 99% sure the rifle is a .22. When Kriegler reloads you can (sometimes) see a tiny little brass cartridge which is way too small for the older Biathlon rifles. In the second screenshot of the rifle (in the article) you can see the numerous holes for .22 magazines in the bottom of the rifle. For some reason they aren't filled with spare mags. Thirdly the ejector "hole" (not sure what the technical term is) seems to small for anything but .22. [[User:Dudster32|Dudester32]] ([[User talk:Dudster32|talk]]) 07:27, 12 May 2014 (EDT)
:::It looks like a .22 to me as well. It's just a bit funny watching the huge guy trying to kill James Bond with a .22.
--[[User:Funkychinaman|Funkychinaman]] ([[User talk:Funkychinaman|talk]]) 10:34, 12 May 2014 (EDT)
::::Heard that! [[User:Dudster32|Dudester32]] ([[User talk:Dudster32|talk]]) 12:22, 12 May 2014 (EDT)
::::I still havent found out the name/model of the rifle though, which is kinda annoying. I'm gonna try and ask in a military-group I'm with on facebook. [[User:Dudster32|Dudester32]] ([[User talk:Dudster32|talk]]) 11:56, 13 May 2014 (EDT)
[[Image:Fyeo-rifle1.jpg|thumb|none|601px|Kriegler fires his rifle at Bond.]]

== Unknown machine gun ==

I did a double check of the machine gun used at the warehouse scene. In the closeup it is indeed a MG42, but from a distance it is definetly some other model. [[User:Dudster32|Dudester32]] ([[User talk:Dudster32|talk]]) 15:23, 16 March 2015 (EDT)

[[File:Vlcsnap-2015-03-16-20h15m16s221.jpg|thumb|none|601px|My attempt at showing the discrepancies.]]

It could be a SIG SG 510, guessing by how high the front sight is and the folded bipod. [[User:PaperCake|PaperCake]] 18:09, 16 March 2015 (EST).
:Sounds good to me! I'm gonna do some more google-jutsu, and if I cant find anything new, and if noone in the Talk can give another good suggestion, I'm gonna put up the SIG SG as the MG in question in the article after about a week. [[User:Dudster32|Dudester32]] ([[User talk:Dudster32|talk]]) 18:13, 16 March 2015 (EDT)
:For those who do not kow, [http://world.guns.ru/userfiles/images/assault/as45/sig_sg510_stg57-1.jpg this is a SIG SG] MG by the way.[[User:Dudster32|Dudester32]] ([[User talk:Dudster32|talk]]) 18:15, 16 March 2015 (EDT)

:Late entry, but the above MG henchman is not the same as the guy in the closeup just before the explosion. I'm guessing the closeup was a professional stuntman and the shots of the MG firing was an extra. [[User:Dudster32|Dudester32]] ([[User talk:Dudster32|talk]]) 13:52, 1 June 2015 (EDT)

== Misidentified grenades? ==

Looking at the grenades in the warehouse raid scene, while the long shot of Bond opening the case does appear to show Mk 2 grenades, in the closeup shot of 007 retrieving one for use, the safety lever and pin position more closely resemble that of a Soviet F1 grenade. Supporting this, the interior markings on the lid of the case appear to be Cyrillic. [[User:Guy Incognito|Guy Incognito]] 15:35, 9 February 2020 (EST)

: That's not quite 100% accurate, but in any event this is not necessarily something to bring up here on the talk page, I think.

== Benelli M4 ==

Is that a positive ID? I just watched the movie and heard the slide being racked a couple of times by Neeson's character during the final firefight. I even went as far as to do a frame by frame replay and am sure I saw Neeson pumping the weapon. --[[User:Charon68|Charon68]] ([[User talk:Charon68|talk]]) 22:10, 3 April 2015 (EDT)
: Screencap looks to me like it has a pump-grip forearm, so I'd have to say it's a shorty M3 Benelli and not an M4. [[User:StanTheMan|StanTheMan]] ([[User talk:StanTheMan|talk]]) 00:11, 4 April 2015 (EDT)

== AR-15 (non-gun?) continuity error ==

During the fight between Malankov and Bryan, Malankov's SCAR-L appears to briefly turn into some type of AR-15-style carbine as he rolls down the stairs. The general profile and carrying handle are recognizable in the wide shots, particularly from overhead; while the closeup of the rifle as he hits the floor clearly shows an AR-pattern collapsing stock, lower receiver (with the extra magazines seen with the SCAR now missing) and triangular front sight. It's likely a non-firing replica, as I was unable to make out a trigger inside the trigger guard and the front sight appears broken. (Sorry, I was unable to get screen caps.)

Talk:Band of Brothers

Guy Incognito:

==Too many screencaps. Seriously.==

- Is it just me, or does there seem to be a slightly excessive amount of screencaps with the M1 Garand, notably the ones from the episode 'Crossroads', where they act as almost a blow-by-blow telling of a whole sequence in the episode? [[User:StanTheMan|StanTheMan]] 02:46, 28 June 2010 (UTC)

:- Ok, far from there being less, it seems that ''even more'' screencaps have been posted. There's now about 2 dozen or so showing the Thompson, and about '''three dozen''' showing the Garand. Now it's just plain ridiculous. Do we really need that many images? [[User:StanTheMan|StanTheMan]] 03:10, 2 July 2010 (UTC)

Agreed. I left a message for Crackshot about this. I was thinking of taking some of the excess shots and putting them in the discussion section. --[[User:Ben41|Ben41]] 06:43, 2 July 2010 (UTC)

- That sounds cool to me - most of the images are good ones. Just there's too damn many on the page is all. Forgive me, but I get a bit irked when I have a 20in monitor and still have to scroll down a mile or two for the next gun on the list. :b [[User:StanTheMan|StanTheMan]] 20:32, 2 July 2010 (UTC)

== Springfields ==
''This is the only piece of kit in this production that bothered me. Why was this guy carrying a Springfield? There is no evidence of a scope mount and by this time, if I am correct, the Springfield had been phased out of frontline service in favour of the Garand.'' [[User:Charon68|Charon68]]

There is a famous picture of US troops of the 2nd Infantry Division walking up a hill after storming the Normandy beaches, and all of them have Springfield 03 rifles slung over their shoulders. So they obviously were still using them.

There were still a few soldiers using Springfields without scopes during World War 2, due to a very slight shortage of M1 Garands. The shortage would have stopped by 1944 (in which ''Band of Brothers'' takes place. This guy just must have either decided to keep his Springfield or didn't get reissued with an M1--[[User: Colt Revolver Fan]]

Actually the Springfield was widely used due to several M1 Garands shortages because soldiers favoured it due to it's rate of fire. - [[User:Kenny99|Kenny99]]
:The 1903 was widely used by US Army and US Marine Corps personnel in from 1942 until late 1944. Garands were nonexistent in US Military hands that were in the shit in 1941 and early 1942 (January). By the time of the Battle of Guandacanal and the Begin of the African Campaign, M1 Garands, M1 Carbines and 1903s were widely used by the US Marine Corps and the US Army. By 1943 the Springfields, Carbines and the Garands were still being used but by Late 1943, springfields were being "retired" and the Garands and M1s completely replacing them. By the Invasion of Normandy, there were still 1903s being used but, less than Garands. I don't know if Airborne units used 1903s however they probably used them. Back to the Garand and 1903s, by 1945 the Garand and the M1 Carbine completely replaced the 1903.-[[User:Oliveira|Oliveira]] 20:11, 7 July 2009 (UTC)
*It appears that the M1903 Springfield was lastly used in the Korean war and was used in the early stages of the Vietnam war limited. The M1 Garand remained in service until it was replaced by the M2 carbine and the M1 Carbine during the Vietnam war. Also, I found [http://www.bandofbrothers.wikia.com this website while searching for Band of Brothers online]. - [[User:Kenny99|Kenny99]] 03:03, 23 September 2009 (UTC)

The Springfield was still issued at a rate of one per rifle squad to launch anti-tank Grenades. Source: http://www.olive-drab.com/od_other_firearms_rifle_m1903.php3

I don't think paratroopers still used the Springfield in 1944. This particular guy was probably issued the M1 Garand but still favored the 1903 since he was seen carrying BOTH weapons earlier in the Episode

== M3 greasegun. ==

Not that it matters but,

A. I think the ones used in this were A1s, an error when Cobb has one in Holland, as they didn't exist until later in the year, and

B. Lipton never uses one. He jumps into Normandy with a Thompson which he loses. Briefly carries a Mp-40 which he swaps for an M1A1 carbine which hes uses for the rest of the fighting in France, and swaps for a Garand which he uses till he gets a battlefield commision, and switches back to a carbine.

Wrong: Lipton is seen doing something (something involving the magazine) with a Greasegun when they prepare the jump in part 1

==Winters' Garand==
Towards the end of the book Winters mentioned how his Garand had been modified for full auto fire and that the sergeant who had accomplished the feat had since forgotten how he managed the mod to the weapon. I did question the practicality of it since, with the 8 round en bloc mag...you would empty the weapon in 2 seconds if that.--[[User:Charon68|Charon68]] 02:18, 3 December 2009 (UTC)

That thing would be a monster in close quarters, although its size and kick might hamper it. But I agree, that would be quite impractical. Was he said to use that same Garand throughout his tour in the book?

That's weird, never heard of that. So it would basically be a BAR with only 8 rounds. Why didn't he just swap his Garand for a BAR?

:I wouldn't worry about it as I think the OP got the wrong end of the stick as the modifications were carried out by Forrest Guth on M1 ''Carbines'', not Garand rifles. There is a chapter in Buck Comptons memoirs about the Normandy drop where he laments the fact that when he lost his leg bag he lost his full automatic M1 carbine. Just FYI, there was a trick that soldier did with the M1 Garand to make it temporarily fully auto(ish) involving a [http://www.saysuncle.com/images/shoestringmg.JPG shoestring]. --[[User:Commando552|commando552]] 11:52, 25 August 2012 (CDT)

== Stug III / Stug IV ==

that Assault Gun, which is hit by the Bazooka is not a StuG IV, its a StuG III

Which was built on the hull of a FV432 APC. It doesn't look quite right to someone who knows WW2 armour, but it is a very good look-a-like. Much better than the T-34s dressed up as Tigers in Kelly's Heroes and Saving Private Ryan. And the Marder mobile AT gun looks very good too.

== Thompson Mags ==

Why is the Thompson only seen with the 30rd mag attached altough many soldiers, such as Martin, Lipton or Welch, are seen carrying the 5 cell pouch for 20rd magazines? Same in Saving Private Ryan. The used some 20rd Magazines in The Pacific though

== Mortars ==

Due to a lack of BoB on my computer, i'd like to ask you one thing.

In parts 3, 5, and 7 the mortar (I'm not sure wether it is an M1 or an M2) is clearly used. But, as a matter of fact, I don't see any picture of it on this page. Maybe an idea to poston the page?

@MarineCorps1

The soldier isn't darkening the sight, he's just burning the dirt away from it ;) --[[User:Wouter98|Wouter98]] 12:09, 18 December 2010 (UTC)

== M1 or M9 Bazooka? ==

Although throughout the series it does not appear much, but may I know which is better, as in comparing of its power, weight, penetration, explosion radius and accuracy. Which is a better choice of equipment during the war? - S9771773G 10:40, 4 November 2011 (UTC)

:Well, the M9, being as it was just generally better than the M1A1. Reinforced tube, optical sight, a more powerful rocket, etc. [[User:Evil Tim|Evil Tim]] 05:51, 4 November 2011 (CDT)

== Walther PPK appearance? ==

In episode 4, Easy Company meet up with a Dutch Resistance Member who appears to have a handgun stuffed down his trousers, ironically at such an angle that if it misfires, he won't be able to have 'kinderen'. Judging by the grip, and the fact that it was used by many resistance groups in WWII, it's probably a Walther PPK. Can anyone confirm?

== Sobel, his 1911, and firearm safety. ==

Watching episode 1, it's interesting how Sobel's use and handling of his 1911 sidearm provides further indication of his poor suitability for field command. Of the junior officers, only Sobel does not carry a shoulder weapon of some type; all the others carry a Garand, carbine, or Thompson in addition to their sidearm. Furthermore, though Sobel is never seen firing his .45, his finger seems to always be on the trigger whenever he has it in hand, including while running with it and - in a particularly glaring example of poor safety habits - when he points it at his men while selecting "wounded" during a training exercise.

== My review of Band Of Brothers ==

★★★★★

Epic! Breathtaking! Emotional! Thrilling! These are just some of the words that I would use to describe the 10 part HBO mini series Band Of Brothers. Executive Produced by Steven Spielberg and Tom Hanks Band Of Brothers follows the story of the men in the 101st Airborne Division, Easy Company from their initial training, through to the end of the war. This incredible series has an ensemble cast of fantastic actors, each of whom brings something totally different to the story. It's hard to describe this in terms of episodes for me because I usually end up watching the whole series in 1 or 2 sittings, so to me it feels like one huge 11 hour movie.

The series' look takes it's cue from Spielberg's Saving Private Ryan, and it is equally as brutal, if not more brutal than that film. The special effects look fantastic, with genius techniques used to capture the look and feel of battle. They used compressed air blowing dirt and other things out of a cone for a lot of the explosions which meant they could safely have actors and stuntmen standing right on top of a blast when it went off. These techniques keep you fully lodged into the reality of the battles as there is no obvious moment where an explosion is no where near the actor or it has been added in post production. The sound design as well is particularly fantastic as it manages to make you feel like you are in the middle of the battle, especially if viewed on a surround sound system where the sounds of the battle are literally coming at you from all angles. The music in the series is simply outstanding, Michael Kamen truly excelled himself with the score, the opening theme alone is a stunning piece of work. The CGI used for the most part is impressive, the paradrop sequence for the Market Garden operation looks awe inspiring, the only piece of bad CGI I noticed was the blue screen used for the first paradrop where it follows Dick Winters on his first combat jump, although this is totally forgiveable as blue screen was still relatively new to TV productions back in 2001 and because it is only this short sequence that really stands out it doesn't ruin the whole experience.

Damien Lewis gives an utterly convincing and quite frankly incredible performance as Lt./Capt./Major Dick Winters, he manages to portray the changes that the character goes through because of his experiences perfectly, there is no overacting on his part and no melodrama. The subtleties to his performance make it all the more convincing. Because this is an ensemble piece it would take far too long to go through each individual character as there are about 20 in total so what I will say about them as a group is that each actor and character brings a different level to this series, their portrayals add an extra depth to the story, and give a bigger reality to the events, not only as viewers do we know that the events we are witnessing really happened but through the actors performances we believe that what we are seeing is what actually happened. Their performances invoked more emotional responses from me than any weepy dreary movie has ever done. The sequence in Part 9 at the Concentration Camp almost moved me to tears when Liebgott had to tell the Jews they found that they were had to remain in the camps whilst appropriate care was provided. Where the reactions of the people in the camps was moving, I found Ross McCall's performance to be the most emotionally impacting moment of the scene. My favourite character was probably George Luz portrayed by Rick Gomez. Gomez's character seems to be the comic relief of the group for when it is needed but that doesn't mean that he spends his time cracking jokes all the time, only about 10% of his screen time is taken up with the moments of comedy, and most of them involve impressions of officers, in the first episode there is an incredibly funny moment on a training exercise involving Luz.

What makes this series stand apart from a lot of other war films or series is that at the start of every episode there would be interviews with surviving members of the real Easy Company, I think that these short interviews help to build up the realism and they help us to connect with the characters in the series, you can't help but feel something when you see these old men remembering their lost friends and almost crying just because of their memories. It helps to add an emotional connection between the viewer and the series as you are seeing how these events affected these men and when you see something that was talked about in one of the interviews it makes a bigger impact.

To sum up, if you are a fan of war movies and haven't seen this then it should go to the top of your list of things to watch. From a film maker's stand point this is a how to manual on creating the perfect war story. --[[User:Cool-breeze|cool-breeze]] 07:34, 3 March 2012 (CST)

Talk:Falling Skies - Season 2

2012-07-02T05:20:36Z

Guy Incognito:

Some random observations from last night's (6/17) episodes for possible addition to the page:

- Tom Mason's Type 56 made a brief appearance when Weaver tried to get him to resume his position as XO.

- The LAW rocket appeared twice, first in Maggie's hands in the opening ambush, later used by Dai to destroy an alien ship's remote control system.

- Matt Mason's weapon of choice appears to be either a Mini 14 or an M2 carbine.

- Pope uses a pump action shotgun (I don't know what type, but it was fitted with an extended mag tube and a pistol grip with no buttstock) in the opening ambush. Anthony later threatens him with it. (Weaver and Hal also pull semiautomatic pistols on him during the confrontation.)

- Maggie appears to now be using either an M4A1 or Model 727, rather than the 733, as her weapon has a longer barrel with the M203 notch.

- One of Pope's "Berserkers" appeared to have a Minimi Para when they mounted up before the bridge crossing.

- Pope continues to carry a revolver, though (if I remember correctly) it appears to be a more modern weapon than the Single Action Army he carried last season.

- One of the fighters seen during the delaying action at the bridge appeared to have a Steyr TMP or similar machine pistol.

- The resistance's technicals are now fitted with what are said to be 20 mm cannons, complete with antiaircraft-type ring sights.

: The rifle Weaver got out of the bag was an AKM, not Type 56. Mason changed from a Type 56-1 to an AKM in the first season so it's a safe bet that the rifle Weaver got out was his AKM as the Type 56-1 was lost. And can you please sign your posts. --[[User:Cool-breeze|cool-breeze]] 07:13, 20 June 2012 (CDT)
::I think it is actually a [[Zastava M70]], in the 3rd episode you can definitely see the 3 vents in the handguard and the grenade sight. --[[User:Commando552|commando552]] 04:39, 25 June 2012 (CDT)

== anthony's rifle: M1A? ==

browsing the page while viewing the season premiere -- i'm pretty sure anthony is carrying an M14, or at least something that's supposed to look like one. i brought the screenshot into an image editor and adjusted the toning, and sure enough, there's a selector switch just ahead of anthony's thumb. thoughts?

[[User:Strongpoint|Strongpoint]] 03:58, 20 June 2012 (CDT)

:Also, all the rifles used by both Anthony and Tector ([[Ryan Robbins]]) have bayonet lugs, which I think makes them M14s. The M1As in the previous season didn't have the bayonet lugs. --[[User:Commando552|commando552]] 06:46, 22 June 2012 (CDT)

== G36C? ==

Are you sure that is a G36C? The barrel and handguard have the length of a G36K--Gunner5

== Jimmy's Shotgun ==

What kind of shotgun was Jimmy using it had a night vision scope, suppressor built on it, and could fire Dragon Breath shotgun shell's? --[[User:Balin21|Balin21]] 14:23 25 June 2012 (CDT)
:From the shape of the pump and trigger guard I would say it is a [[Mossberg 500 series shotgun]], but never got a good enough look to see if it had the safety catch on top to confirm. --[[User:Commando552|commando552]] 14:45, 25 June 2012 (CDT)

== And we have our first Barrett sighting ==

Looked like an older model M82A1, as it had the classic arrowhead-style muzzle brake.
