Agree with movie trained goblins, and may they always have the sights on the side of the frame.

Ahhh sight picture, no such things in the movies......

OH yes, running after a car and shooting at it one handed...in fact ALL movie style one handed shooting in general.

And why are virtually ALL movie cars bulletproof........except in one movie where buckshot enters through the boot panel, through back and front seat cushions and kills the driver..all whilst the car is moving away at speed.

I've always wondered how cast lead bullets can be used to shoot the steel lock off a Wells Fargo strongbox. :lol:

Locks were probably made in China......

Sparky bullets, yep forgot about those....

Also 9mm pistol rounds that can be used to shoot a hole in a wall or make a kids roundabout revolve at speed with conseutive hits to the bars....(Idiot movie called shoot em up).

Salut,

On sunday I saw again with great pleasure"Where Eagles dare" . I love this film ever since I was a boy... and I also love the way that you can forget about K98, the backbone of the Wehrmacht. Nearly every German soldier is armed with an MP40. They are fired nearly exclusively from the hip, rarely aimed, and actually I dont think at any point in the movie the folding stock is actually ever extended. :good:

Sounds about right,. stocks and sights were optional extras....and still are for some people.
