I'm not 100% sure this qualifies as can't tell if it is actually going to be properly released, but did some caps anyway. Also, from the trailer I suspect that all of these guns are actually replicas/airsoft with miming and CGI muzzle flashes. --commando552 18:49, 23 February 2012 (CST)
- Is it a short film or a feature? I can't find the running time on IMDb. --Funkychinaman 18:56, 23 February 2012 (CST)
- I can't tell, the facebook page and the official web page are pretty uninformative. While trawling through the facebook page for info I came across this photo which has annoyed the hell out of me. First off he is wearing both Royal Marine Commando shoulder titles but with an SAS beret. Secondly, berets are never worn on operations like this. Thirdly, he is wearing it like an absolute twat, particularly for a film which claims "The British soldiers in the film are members of the 40 Commando, the elite unit created by James Bond author Ian Fleming during World War Two". Fourthly, the rifle appears to be an inaccurate airsoft replica as it is an L22A1 but with the round charging handle rather than the A2 style charging handle it should have. Lastly, the pistol he is carrying in his holster is one of those mini AEG airsoft guns that look like something out of a cartoon. --commando552 19:18, 23 February 2012 (CST)
- It wouldn't be the first time the creator of a short film tried to shoehorn his or her film onto the site. At least there are posters available. --Funkychinaman 20:52, 23 February 2012 (CST)
- Plus I seriously doubt any of the kit is issue; it all looks off-the-shelf to me; hence why it's Multicam or clone rather than MTP (Jesus Christ, people. DPM gear isn't that expensive to get hold of). Plus all the ACOGs are mounted wrong. The Wierd It 03:16, 24 February 2012 (CST)
- From the way the handguard appears to be molded onto the barrel, the ACOG and under-barrel torch, I'm willing to be that these are those incredibly cheap single-shot spring airsoft guns, similar to the ones used in Doomsday (only without the Union Jack stickers). Same goes for the L22, it looks a lot like a very cheap 'springer' airsoft gun I've seen. One thing that's confusing me - this photo - what is she armed with? It could just be me, but that doesn't look like anything I recognise. Is it just a generic 'gun' prop, or is it a replica of something real? --Spanner
- Looks generic to me. The Wierd It 05:05, 24 February 2012 (CST)
- That actually is a real gun, it is a Ruger 10/22 with a custom stock, the magazine is very distinctive to the after-market high capacity 10/22 ones. The handguard almost looks "AK ish" to me, I have a terrible feeling these are standing in for AK-47s. I also found photos of a Walther P22 and a SIG SG 556, but didn't bother adding them yet in cse the page gets nuked. --commando552 05:57, 24 February 2012 (CST)
- I actually really want too see this. I've just seen the trailer and it looks like one of those old shitty action films (I've always been fond of that sort of thing). As mentioned bycommando552, I can see a lot of crisscrossing military insignia on the actors clothing, and I think they purely couldn't be arsed to research the different military branches, which I'm sort of annoyed about, but hey, its a short film and probably made with a really small budget, which would probably explain the really stupid (yet fun to use) mini-airsoft MP5, but this.. short film (?) looks a valiant effort. Reminds me of the film I made for my media class in school. As for the rocket launcher, looks like a Panzerschreck too me Fixer

- If it's indeed a short film, then it's not eligible for inclusion. (The rules were just changed to exclude all short films.) --Funkychinaman 13:22, 24 February 2012 (CST)

- After looking at the trailer and seeing the information on IMDB, this doesn't look like it's eligible. Unless someone can prove that this will be distributed professionally (as stated in the Rules, Standards and Principles), it will be deleted. --Ben41 15:13, 24 February 2012 (CST)
