	The AC-130 fires several showy series of flares when missiles are fired at it from the ground and air. Firing the flares is accompanied by loud thumping boom sound effects. Does firing flares really make that kind of sound? Countermeasure flares are just magnesium or something else burning really hot. Were the sound effects truthful or was the sound put in to make the scenes more showy? I've seen flares fired from a jet fighter but it was from a distance and the sound of the jet masked everything so I didn't hear if the flare firing makes a sound.

			Here's footage of an F-16[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aYXkVOSUIy0] and an Apache[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6uN36JJR2Eg] deploying flares at airshow demos. Though it's harder to hear in in the Apache video because of the commentator, there is a faint thumping sound to them.

Long-distance shooting pistol grip?

Line 70:		Line 70:
	During the gun battle on the North Lawn of the White House, Agent Banning dispatches a female North Korean sniper who is shooting uniformed DC police officers. He does this by crossing his arms, gripping his right bicep with his left hand, and balancing his P229 on his left bicep to steady it as he fires. I've never seen this technique used in a film before or taught in a firearms course. Is this some kind of military pistol shooting technique (Banning being ex-Ranger Battalion)? Or was it just a way of shooting that looked cool to the director (much like the now-infamous method of gangbangers turning their guns 90 degrees to aim)?

	Most likely just the actor trying to look professional in the scene.

	Did anybody else notice that the Gatling-style guns on the Hydra 6 system seemed a little too big for M134s? Also, if they were building an experimental anti-air weapon system, is it possible that they just scaled up the barrels of the M134 and re-chambered it for 20 or 30mm? Those calibers would be far better anti-air rounds, considering they've already been used in the Vulcan Air Defense System (VADS).

	I noticed that too. Although, a lot of the terrorists (including the one that finished off what's his face) were using FN P90s, which were designed around the principle of being able to penetrate some of the most advanced body armors. Plus, he fired at nearly point-blank range, so I doubt the rounds would have much trouble ripping through armor that close.		I noticed that too.
