Good screenshots
Surprisingly this movie had some good shots of the guns used by the main characters. There's at least one gun that was kinda obscured. I'll have to look back at it again
marines
since the soldiers are wereing ACU insead of MARPAT would that not make them ARMY
- It's UCP. ACU means Army Combat Uniform. At any rate, they're referred to in-movie as Marines. I suspect the creators had originally intended them to be US Army National Guard (which would explain why they're all using M4s instead of M16s) or they just got confused as to what pattern to use. The Resident Evil Wiki used to say "this could have been done to show a more progressive American military, attempting to make up for their mistakes with Raccoon city", but I fail to see how making US Marines wear that awful UCP is supposed to make up for any so-called "mistakes".

- You DO know that the Marines also issue M4A1s as well as M16s. Excalibur01 02:52, 4 June 2010 (UTC)
- Of course I know that. But the Marines don't issue M4s en mass to their troops, the Army does. Add to that the UCP camouflage pattern and the Interceptor body armor (which the USMC replaced with the Modular Tactical Vest in 2006), the exterior is all Army. That's why I think they were originally supposed to be NG troops, but this was changed at some point and I guess they never bothered to correct the visual stuff. Spartan198 14:24, 5 June 2010 (UTC)
