I'm not 100% sure this qualifies as can't tell if it is actually going to be properly released, but did some caps anyway. Also, from the trailer I suspect that all of these guns are actually replicas/airsoft with miming and CGI muzzle flashes. --commando552 18:49, 23 February 2012 (CST)
- Is it a short film or a feature? I can't find the running time on IMDb. --Funkychinaman 18:56, 23 February 2012 (CST)
- I can't tell, the facebook page and the official web page are pretty uninformative. While trawling through the facebook page for info I came across this photo which has annoyed the hell out of me. First off he is wearing both Royal Marine Commando shoulder titles but with an SAS beret. Secondly, berets are never worn on operations like this. Thirdly, he is wearing it like an absolute twat, particularly for a film which claims "The British soldiers in the film are members of the 40 Commando, the elite unit created by James Bond author Ian Fleming during World War Two". Fourthly, the rifle appears to be an inaccurate airsoft replica as it is an L22A1 but with the round charging handle rather than the A2 style charging handle it should have. Lastly, the pistol he is carrying in his holster is one of those mini AEG airsoft guns that look like something out of a cartoon. --commando552 19:18, 23 February 2012 (CST)
