Talk:Starship Troopers

I have one of the Morita Rifles from the movie but it's all beat up. I still have my battle armor from the movie shoot (you know, the guy that was standing 355th from the guy on the left! ;) I'll try to fix up the Morita rifle and photograph it. sigh, yet another thing to do. MPM2008

No stress. There are actually lots of pics of the Moritas from the movie floating around on the 'Net, but obviously, we'd rather have one of yours than something taken from another site. Whenever you get around to it. -MT2008

Are you by any chance visible in any of these shots MPM? Obviously I wouldn't ask you to point yourself out if you are, but I'd still find it cool to know if you were. - Gunmaster45

Does your Morita rifle still work?

Dude, that would be badass! If I had one I would bring it to the range and turn some heads-S&Wshooter 18:04, 25 July 2009 (UTC)

in the book the mobile infantry used power armor that made tanks look cheap. they never said the full armament in the book. the weapons mention were "pewee nukes", a bomb launcher on the back, "hand flamers", some sort of energy weapon called a "knife beam" also having jumping ability (including jet and rocket boost assistance), and provided the wearer with improved senses (infrared vision and night vision, radar, and amplified hearing), a completely self-contained personal environment, sophisticated communications equipment, and tactical map displays. Their powered armor made the Mobile Infantry a hybrid between an infantry unit and an armored one. so they can move fast and kick ass. every mobile infantry used power armor making them a formidable fighting force

The CGI series was more accurate with the book somewhat, and the 3rd movie, straight to DVD of course brought the power armor. I want to know what the guns are built from in that movie Excalibur01 18:38, 19 December 2008 (UTC)

I believe they were M1 Thompsons in a really big plastic shell. I'll try to screencap that at some point. - Gunmaster45

also the bugs in the book had ships, city and energy weapons

I'm not sure who wrote this, but they seem to have missed the point a little; it's supposed to be ridiculously unsafe, fitting in with the movie's nature as a satire; it's the classic 'badass bootcamp' sequence taken to the level of outright absurdity. Vangelis 08:57, 22 July 2009 (UTC)

I could do more damage with an airsoft rifle!

As much as I actually do enjoy this movie, the Mobile Infantry couldn't fight their way out of a wet paper bag... Spartan198 11:33, 27 September 2009 (UTC)
