Dorky plane complaint: Wouldn't the jetwash from the front engines disrupt the airflow to the rear engines? --Funkychinaman (talk) 11:55, 25 September 2013 (EDT)
- The mounts for the engines look overly complicated to me, so my guess is that the plane will turn out to be a VTOL. In that case the only time the rear engines would be needed is for that, when the front engines would be pointing down away from them. Am I correct in thinking that this is a C-17 with bits bolted/CG'd on? (and by bits I mainly mean the second set of lower tail fins with the rear engines) --commando552 (talk) 12:17, 25 September 2013 (EDT)
- It looks like a C-17 to me as well. The hanger has a cutout for the plane's vertical stabilizer, but won't work for this plane since it has a T-tail. I can't tell from the shots if that will be a problem for this plane. --Funkychinaman (talk) 12:27, 25 September 2013 (EDT)
- Found another image from a new trailer:Pretty sure it is a C-17, and it keeps the T tail so god knows how they get it out of that hanger. Luckily, in the shot where the plane is leaving the hanger the design of the door has conveniently changed to accomodate it:I think this is either a different hanger or has been massively structurally altered as there is no way the the slot in the top of the hanger is getting wider without a lot of support beams disappearing.--commando552 (talk) 12:50, 25 September 2013 (EDT)

I wouldn't read into it too much, its probably ment to be Stark tech or something,so super unrealistic in real world setting, then again this is a show about super heroes. The taildoor also can apparently lift at least 5 tons (both cars standing on it) , although that my be lack of knowledge on my part? --Iceman (talk) 05:17, 26 September 2013 (EDT)
- You should know in fiction anything that lifts can lift infinite weight. Especially any kind of lifting bridge, I know at least two games (Valkyria Chronicles and Turning Point: Fall of Liberty) where lift bridges still function despite having enough tanks on them to collapse them entirely.
Yeah I ment it that maybe it ignorance on my part and it can be done in real life, my knowledge of cargo aircraft is non-existant at best, besides they always give iron mans armor sets a definite amount of strenght in tons (higly unrealistic ussually) but still --Iceman (talk) 15:02, 26 September 2013 (EDT)
- The ramp is very capable of doing that, in fact it is designed to be used as a loading aid with pallets being put onto the ramp, and then raising the ramp to get them to slide them into the plane. When fully loaded the last four of the 18 pallets a C-17 can carry are put on the ramp, and each pallet can weigh about 10,000 pounds. This suggests that the ramp is capable of lifting at least 18 tonnes. --commando552 (talk) 16:53, 26 September 2013 (EDT)
- I'm calling it right now, tail is a detachable secondary aircraft (possibly with real light and sound and firing missile launchers). Evil Tim (talk) 05:59, 26 September 2013 (EDT)

Moving this here
If I can find a better screencap without the ABC watermark. Ominae (talk) 10:38, 2 October 2013 (EDT)
- I think this was cut out of the episode. In the part where Coulson and that woman are fighting together spinning around, there is a cut where they skip half of a turn. It looks really odd, as it just skips a second for seemingly no reason. One would assume they cut it for time, but cutting out something in the middle of a shot is a really odd way to do it. --commando552 (talk) 11:26, 2 October 2013 (EDT)
M16s
I'm not sure if any of these are M16A2s. --Funkychinaman (talk) 11:30, 2 October 2013 (EDT)
- I think the M16s were a mix of A1s with A2 furniture, MGC replicas and M16A4s, didn't see any genuine A2s. I will check again and put up some caps later. --commando552 (talk) 11:38, 2 October 2013 (EDT)
- Just went through and although none of the pictured guns are A2s, there is an A2 visible at a few points, although I think there is only the one. --commando552 (talk) 12:35, 2 October 2013 (EDT)
1911 variant?
Not sure what this is, but don't think it is a Colt. It has slanted slide serrations and a commander style hammer (but with what looks like a regular M1911A1 style grip safety):
My guess is that it is an Auto Ord variant (my other guess would be a Springfield Armory, but I think if it was that you would be able to see a large logo on the slide) but I don't really know enough about them to tell for sure. Any ideas? --commando552 (talk) 20:01, 3 October 2013 (EDT)
Unknowns
^These look like SMith & Wesson M&Ps. --Warejaws (talk) 09:50, 10 October 2013 (EDT)
- They are, it was just Coulson regular M&P that got taken by the first guy, and then taken back. --commando552 (talk) 13:29, 10 October 2013 (EDT)
Unknown X-Ray Rifle
A SCAR-H maybe? The shape of the stock fits.
Spartan198 (talk) 01:18, 19 October 2013 (EDT)
Looking at the barrel length it's possibly a SCAR-H Standard with a scope mounted on it. Rockwolf66 (talk) 22:23, 22 October 2013 (EDT)
