Laser tag with real guns firing blanks. MILES stands for Multiple Integrated Laser Engagement System. To me the attachment looks like a barrel weight/ harmonic stabilizer.-[[User:Ranger01|Ranger01]] 08:33, 11 August 2010 (UTC) | |||

Comment on HK94s
I changed the term 'cheaply converted' to 'converted', since "cheaply" sounded like an insult. And though it was a lot more economical to convert an HK94 at the time, the conversion process costs the same. MPM2008
- Oh, I wouldn't want to insult anyone. I only made used that term to express the fact that the guns look like chopped HK94s, instead of MP5A3s (since they lack the proper trigger grip, magazine release, and barrel). It was the best adjective I could think of to describe their appearance. -MT2008
Blu Ray
I've replaced all screencaps with Blu Ray versions (plus some new screencaps I didn't use before). Enjoy.
Also, I know it's not related, but...
Wow, I forgot that Xander Berkeley has such huge hands! -MT2008 02:50, 18 May 2010 (UTC)
Look at Harrison Ford's face, You'd think HE'S the one holding the Gun
Excellent job with the Blu ray screencaps! --Ben41 22:16, 18 May 2010 (UTC)
Another question...
I'm still trying to figure out what sort of attachment is fitted to the barrel of Gary Oldman's M4 carbine in this movie. Here is the best view of it:
Does anyone know what it is? These same M4s (in the same configuration) were also seen in Godzilla. -MT2008 03:03, 18 May 2010 (UTC)
- Probably a Flashlight. I doubt it would be a Laser Sight. I don't think they ever used the 'attachment' in the movie.
- I'm suddenly not even sure that it could be any kind of flashlight or laser sight. There's no visible pressure switch for activation anywhere on the M4's hand guards. It might be a barrel weight of some kind, though it seems rather unnecessary for a mil-spec M4. -MT2008 15:52, 18 May 2010 (UTC)
- Odd angle, possible AN/PEQ-2 IR Illuminator or previous generation model. (FNFl)
- I think it is a MILES attachment. Why its on the gun? I dont know. -The Man with the Silver Gun
- There's no way it's a PEQ-2; those are much bigger, and they also didn't exist when this movie was filmed. I don't think it's a MILES attachment, either, though, otherwise it would be on the muzzle, not the front sight. -MT2008 01:00, 11 August 2010 (UTC)
- Anyone want to help a rookie out... What's a "MILES" attachment? -JAG1967 01:33, 11 August 2010 (UTC)
