:Depends on the armor and the specific payload on the 5.56; it has surprising penetrating power at short to medium range.

can someone please make a page for the tv show this movie was based on?
- I would if I had the DVD, but unfortunately I don't. They also only have the first half of the series on DVD, the second season hasn't been released. Orca1 9904 17:41, 29 May 2009 (UTC)
in the special features on the dvd there is a lot of footage from the show, i could do some screencaps
Sniping Scene
Just wondering if there was any reason (training, doctrine or whatever) that Renner/Gamble holds his dog tags between his teeth when taking out the LAPD helicopter with the MacMillan .50? --Charon68 19:36, 14 January 2010 (UTC)
- Doubt it, just being badass.-protoAuthor 20:25, 14 January 2010 (UTC)
- To keep from biting his tongue. Some sharpshooters are somewhat wary of the .50's recoil, and bite down on something to keep their teeth separated when the stock jumps into them. Or at least, so I have been told. Atypicaloracle 05:10, 24 June 2010 (UTC)
556 Stopping Power
In the bank, when Gamble takes out the first gunman holding the Browning, and accedentaly shoots a hostage, would the 556 round be able to go through the armor of the gunman after going through the arm of the hostage?--MarineCorps1 22:56, 12 June 2010 (UTC)
- Depends on the armor and the specific payload on the 5.56; it has surprising penetrating power at short to medium range. Atypicaloracle 05:08, 24 June 2010 (UTC)
Would the same happen if it were a 9x19mm from a MP5 ?
Oddly Accurate Politician Goof-up
During the press conference following the failed extraction attempt by Montel's goons, the weapons used during the attack on the DOC boss are referred to as "AK-47s." The only weapons discharged during that scene are the .45ACP pistols used by the SWAT officers, a 9mm handgun, and a 9mm machine pistol. Then again, many of us have heard a particular politician refer to a barrel shroud as a "shoulder thing that goes up," so it seems oddly fitting that one would incorrectly identify the weapons used in a violent shootout with police. (Especially since AK-47s are scarier than handguns.) Atypicaloracle 05:15, 24 June 2010 (UTC)
- Even more justified considering this film takes place in ignorant, gun-hating California. -Anonymous
Claymore Explosive Power?
When Jim Street sets up the Claymore to blow the door off at the end, does the claymore have that much power? As far as I know, the Claymore is a small charge that detonates throwing 700 Ball Bearings out, would the charge be enough to blow the door? Would it prouce that bright orange flame? Would it detonate when Jim shoots it with the Kimber Custom? - Theocd 16th October 2010
an M18A1 Claymore's explosion is from C4 inside the Claymore. and Jim just shot the primer that would have been tripped if LL Cool Jay tripped the wire.
Pulp Fiction reference
At about 1:03 in the movie after Montel is busted out by the fake cops and shootout has ended, Montel slashes at Street with some glass, Hondo rushes over and holds his Kimber to the guys head and says "Move again, MOVE AGAIN!" in an obvious reference to the "Say what again" part from Pulp Fiction right down to the M1911.
