Non-firing prop?
Look closely at the bolt release button.
It almost looks molded as part of the receiver. Spartan198 (talk) 09:35, 10 November 2013 (EST)
Aren't the upper vent holes in KAC RASs supposed to actually be holes, and it's the bottom ones that have the heatshield? That trigger looks joined at the bottom, and the rest of the rifle does look rather rubbery as well. Alex T Snow (talk) 20:13, 26 December 2013 (EST)
Is there any particular reason that SEAL has a Texas flag on his body armor? Orca1 9904 (talk) 05:54, 6 January 2014 (EST)
Because He is from Texas? Photos of Marcus Luttrell in Afghanistan show that he wore a texas flag patch Insertjjs
- Also in the book Luttrell mentions that his helmet had a Texas flag on the side of it, but the helmet was knocked from his head during one of his tumbles down the mountain. Also, state flags and other morale patches are VERY common among military personnel across the board. --DeltaOne (talk) 04:39, 8 January 2014 (EST)

Just Got Back
Really good. Really cringe-inducing falls though. Weapons I saw:
- M249 SAW stock in the MH-47 on the ride in.
- M240s are used by MH-47 door gunners
- Head Taliban dude has a shiny Makarov PM that he's killed with.
- A RPD and SVD/PSL are seen as the team scopes out the village, but aren't seen again.
- The M203s are Cobray CM203s, the cocking lever is visible.
Probably a bunch of AK variants, but IDing those will have to wait for the DVD
Oh, MPM2008, you'll be happy. The armorer got credited in the end credits.--Mandolin (talk) 16:58, 13 January 2014 (EST)
You must be mistaken about the grenade launchers. Both these images show legit M203s by the shape and size of the trigger guard.
Spartan198 (talk) 11:29, 16 January 2014 (EST)
- You are probably both right. It is not uncommon for replica M203s to be used for most scenes, switching to CM203s only for scenes where they are actually fired. --commando552 (talk) 11:42, 16 January 2014 (EST)
- That second pic has the cocking handle notch of a CM203.--Mandolin (talk) 17:02, 16 January 2014 (EST)
- No it doesn't. Firstly, the cocking handle is on the right side of the launcher (this shot isn't mirrored as you can see the M4 is correct). Secondly, the CM203 receiver is much simpler and blocky, lacking the diagonal profiling which is visible on this launcher. Lastly, the CM203 has a standard length barrel rather than the 9" one seen here (there may be some stock short barrelled ones or modified chopped ones, but I don't recall ever seeing one in anything). Note that the same black "slot" is visible on the magazine well, so my guess would be that this is probably a velcro strip to attach a flashlight/laser pressure switch. --commando552 (talk) 17:21, 16 January 2014 (EST)
- That second pic has the cocking handle notch of a CM203.--Mandolin (talk) 17:02, 16 January 2014 (EST)
- I remeber Matthew Axelson using P226 during his last stand,not Beretta.--105howitzer (talk) 21:40, 17 January 2014 (EST)
- In one of the pre-credits pictures of the real guys, one of them was holding a P226 up to the camera. Seems like an odd thing to get wrong when getting a few SIGs should be really easy. Alex T Snow (talk) 01:50, 19 January 2014 (EST)
- 105howitzer, are you talking about the book or movie? Also, DeltaOne, the team did not carry Berettas in real life; there are pictures of them online from the time period where you can see that they have SIGs in their holsters. In fact, the picture of Murphy and Axe that appears in the end ([this one]) shows that Murphy carried the issue SIG. -MT2008 (talk) 22:46, 20 January 2014 (EST)
