Sorry to be annoying, I just felt I needed to point out why this isn't that realistic a movie. A good movie, but not all too realistic. - [[User:Gunmaster45|Gunmaster45]] | |||

I'm done. What do you guys think? The Winchester
- Some one needs to fix some grammar mistakes and add pictures to some sections and some small rewrites and it would be perfect. I also think i can find the a picture of real Gulf War surrender cards.Oliveira 18:15, 23 April 2009 (UTC)
- Those are the real ones. The Winchester
- Really? I thought the real ones weren't colored.Oliveira 01:46, 26 April 2009 (UTC)
- No, they were colored, but after being in the desert for so long, the color faded. The Winchester
- Ok then.Oliveira 18:41, 26 April 2009 (UTC)

Gunmaster45 moment?
Was this patented without my approval? ;). I actually got the idea for trivia from MPM but as you can tell from the T2 page I took it a little too far. Personally I don't think this is that accurate of a movie, all the actors tend to have their fingers on the triggers, and there's some bad gun handling. Other than that its not bad but bad gun handling can ruin a movie for me. - Gunmaster45
- Yea, i just really like this movie. Sorry again, but i guess i did screw up a little (as always) Winn
- Yes it was patented. Everytime someone pulls a Gunmaster45 moment.... they have to Pay $20 to GM45 (for royalty rights) via Paypal. How's THAT! MoviePropMaster2008 22:49, 1 May 2009 (UTC)
- I like that. Sucks that I don't have paypal though, but I take checks and money orders. :) - Gunmaster45
- Do you take Zimbabwean dollars?Oliveira 01:21, 2 May 2009 (UTC)

Realism
Not to beat a dead horse, but I'll show why I personally don't see this movie as anything special in realism.
Sorry to be annoying, I just felt I needed to point out why this isn't that realistic a movie. A good movie, but not all too realistic. - Gunmaster45
Slight correction
GM45 - in the first pic of your "Realism" post, the grip the Markey Mark has (thumb high on the receiver relative to the grip) is indicative of someone who is in the act of manipulating the selector lever. It is perfectly reasonable for his thumb to be there, as he is just about to fire, and is presumably rotating the selector lever from safe to semi.
- I see. I missed this scene when I watched the movie so I'm working off of the image alone. - Gunmaster45
And in the second picture, it probably wasn't intentional, but that guy was a reservist, not a real soldier so he might not have the best training. Also in the third picture with Ice Cube, he just finished firing at Iraqi soldiers.
