I wonder how many millions they are receiving "to understand true bravery".

 

Pass.

"its about honoring our veterans and LEO" You have got to be Phucking kidding me.

Why is this a bad thing? It will definitely elliminate any false impressions of actting that they normally do and let us see some pretext of what it's all about. The military that is training them have no problem with it. Neither do I...

Let them rip! I'll watch...

Wes Clark???? Lost it for me right there

  • 2 weeks later...

I'll admit, watching it now..

 

Interesting concept..

Watched 10 minutes. Like the hotties, can't stand Clark. Premise is silly at best. Now watching reruns of Coast Guard Alaska. Real people, no 'celebs'

I guess no one believes in muzzle discipline..

Noticed that too :)

 

Holy crap I hope they don't give them ammo till just before they are ready to fire.

I think that's the case. I'm noting their gear doesn't have any mags/ammo/etc on it. The actual operators are carrying the ammo. They operator handed Todd Palin another mag.

C'mon.... These guys barely had crash courses. What would you expect? Myself, I appreciate this whole concept in what they are trying to convey.

I wonder why the "live" M203 rounds don't explode anywhere else but on target..

 

IMO this show isn't helping 2a rights. Now, "assault" rifles apparently fire exploding rounds! Every target explodes..

damn terry cant swim worth a shit,, He panicked as soon as he hit the water and so did the trainer from biggest loser. HELP HELP HELP BLUB BLUB BLUB HELP HELP BLUB B;UB

Was looking to see if they were the blue tips. Real ones require at least 80 meters to go off. Didn't look that far either...

 

I think they are doing well for what little training they got. I like it so far. You just can't read too much into it. They are not going to let anyone get hurt, live fire or not.

 

 

They're Blue practice grenades. You see it when they're helping Picabo Street reload.

Yeah - they had one hit the shack in the legs and you saw the orange puff of smoke, then boom - hollywood demolition.

 

There's a lot of hollywood demo in the show.

Heh, yea... Like watching American Guns or Sons of Guns.... Lotta badda boom! ;)

HE, HEDP, and practice rounds arm in 14 to 28 meters. Some of the specialty rounds, like CS and smoke arm at different ranges but all arm somewhere between 10 and 50 meters. This doesn't include star, star parachute, and buckshot rounds which are hot out of the tube.

I didn't see the show but its on at 10 tonight in case anyones interested.

I watched it off and on last night. Kept switching between this and Warehouse 13. Its hokey, but I kinda like it. I'll watch it again tonight since nothing else is on anyway.

 

Some of the explosions made me laugh though. The practice round that just barely hit the leg? You know there was a pyro guy sitting behind the camera if that happened. But now I have an urge to play with Tannerite.

Watching it now and they are using Scars in this episode... my question is.. what optics do they have on theirs? looks like a 2 levels of optics a simple red dot on top of a magnified one?

A HE or HEDP round wouldn't take down the tower either. Each round contains only a few ounces of explosive. Maybe a hit in one of the legs might make it fall over. It wouldn't be dramatic enough for the audience. Its just like those atomic arrows Rambo uses or Chuck Norris' nuclear grenades. Keep in mind if they were using genuine HE rounds the effect to most would be boring. It would also cost the price of the round plus $200 transfer tax as each round is a destructive device. Better to spend the money on pyro so the audience gets a dramatic boom.

 

The reason the targets look closer is they are using a tele lens so they can fill the frame with the target. This compresses the perspective. A wide angle lens would make things seem farther away.
