Talk:Rambo (2008)

Sorry folks. ACOGs without the fiber optic light gathering Bands do exist ... they're known as REPLICAS!!!! i.e. made for the airsoft community. The Real ACOG has the Fiber optic band. Any ACOG style scope that doesn't have one is a replica airsoft version. Period.

What does the band do? -GM

Catches the light. The Winchester

I liked these caps

They cluttered up stuff but I figured I'd put them here for the heck of it.

Suppressors usually dampen muzzle flashes, except when they are fake, like in this case.

Hollywood's blatant denial of physics. In the commentary Stallone said this is actually what a .50 caliber bullet does to people, because I'm sure he knows first hand...

I though this was a good shot of the DSA SA58. Might have brightened a tad too much though.

I don't think the first and third screencaps cluttered the page. They are pretty nice and the first one is intersting since it shows the fake muzzle flash.-Oliveira 01:21, 15 June 2009 (UTC)

Rambo's M2 Browning

From the trivia section about the M2 Browning machinegun used by Rambo it sounds as if they were live firing the gun during filming. Is this the case or am I misunderstanding the writing for I know live fire is used on rare ocassion in films, however I have never heard of a production doing so with a heavy machinegun. -Anonymous

No. No live fire is ever allowed on a movie set. I didn't write that. GM45 wrote that, and though I have never heard that trivia note, GM45 would never make that stuff up. He must have heard it somewhere. However, it may not be necessary to the article. The paragraph may be poorly written or the info came from the DVD commentary, and lots of times the guys talking aren't the actual armorers so they use phrases that the rest of us would not. I have wondered about that too, and the only thing I can think of is that the blanks still have to cycle the action and barrel of the 50 cal, and the vibration of the cycling 'must' be stressful to whatever the gun is mounted to. I figure that even blanks will create such a massive 'back and forth' movement within the gun that a mount that is just bolted to the sheet metal of a truck bed will eventually rip out. Stallone fires so much ammo out of the gun that he must have fired thousands of rounds in production. Just a thought. MoviePropMaster2008 05:32, 26 October 2009 (UTC)
