QBZ 95
Finally the actual stand in weapon for the Chinese military. At least they didn't have the Chinese with AKs Excalibur01
- This movie was filmed in British Columbia, and as we've seen on TV shows like Stargate: Atlantis, the Canadian armorers can buy the QBZ rifles (and have evidently done so). Whereas American armorers can't. -MT2008
- It's a good thing that they are highly accurate on guns. - Kenny99 13:38, 4 May 2010 (UTC)
- The weapons are almost surely going to be the QBZ-97, rather than the -95, because it's only the 5.56x45mm version that is available in Canada (where this movie was filmed). Also, those are the versions that we've seen in Stargate: Atlantis, and remember that the armorers that supplied that show are the same ones who supplied this movie. -MT2008 11:57, 3 June 2010 (UTC)
Uniforms
Are those Multicam uniforms that the U.S. troops are wearing? As much as the ACU might have its (well-known) faults, it seems pretty optimistic to expect its replacement by 2012. :) -MT2008 04:51, 13 May 2010 (UTC)
- Well, the US Army is actually fielding multicam uniforms to troops in/deploying to Afghanistan as of this year [1]. But I sure do hope that's the only thing the movie accurately predicts... :O Spartan198 08:24, 13 May 2010 (UTC)
- Yeah, I recall hearing that the Multicam was being fielded on a limited basis in Afghanistan, but I didn't hear anything about whether or not it's being standardized. Would be nice, though, since the ACU was clearly a bad idea. -MT2008 17:33, 13 May 2010 (UTC)
I've seen alot of photos in Afghanistan and the ACUs actually blend in pretty well. The problem is that the ACUs are supposed to be a "Universal" Camouflage(The correct term for the actual pattern is UCP) and its basically worthless in a woodland environment. --AdAstra2009 20:17, 13 May 2010 (UTC)
