From the trivia section about the M2 Browning machinegun used by Rambo it sounds as if they were live firing the gun during filming. Is this the case or am I misunderstanding the writing for I know live fire is used on rare ocassion in films, however I have never heard of a production doing so with a heavy machinegun. -[[User:Anonymous|Anonymous]] | From the trivia section about the M2 Browning machinegun used by Rambo it sounds as if they were live firing the gun during filming.

Sorry folks. ACOGs without the fiber optic light gathering Bands do exist ... they're known as REPLICAS!!!! i.e. made for the airsoft community. The Real ACOG has the Fiber optic band. Any ACOG style scope that doesn't have one is a replica airsoft version. Period.
- What does the band do? -GM
- Catches the light. The Winchester
I liked these caps
They cluttered up stuff but I figured I'd put them here for the heck of it.
- I don't think the first and third screencaps cluttered the page. They are pretty nice and the first one is intersting since it shows the fake muzzle flash.-Oliveira 01:21, 15 June 2009 (UTC)

Rambo's M2 Browning
From the trivia section about the M2 Browning machinegun used by Rambo it sounds as if they were live firing the gun during filming. Is this the case or am I misunderstanding the writing for I know live fire is used on rare ocassion in films, however I have never heard of a production doing so with a heavy machinegun. -Anonymous

He must have heard it somewhere. However, it may not be necessary to the article. The paragraph may be poorly written or the info came from the DVD commentary, and lots of times the guys talking aren't the actual armorers so they use phrases that the rest of us would not.
