The American

[longeyes]

A movie where a gun "expert" describes bullet velocity in miles per hour is a strange movie.

I think I'll start giving velocity in Mach. 

Was the movie worth watching?

[longeyes]

I'm trying to avoid spoilers...  If you like Italy travelogues, yes.

[AmbulanceDriver]

I watch very little coming out of hollyweird anymore.  Caught a preview for this thing.  Watching Clooney file the tip of a bullet was more than enough to tip this one into the "why bother" category.

[Zardozimo Oprah Bannedalas]

Guess I'll watch the Expendables, then.

Who's he describing it to?  Miles per hour is much more meaningful to some people.

[longeyes]

Someone who wants a custom sniper rifle, someone knowledgeable.  I'd tell you what he ends up building but you'd laugh.

[Perd Hapley]

Ah.

No, please, ruin it for me.

Is it a Mosin-Nagant? :D

[kgbsquirrel]

Carcano? *cough-snicker*

Oh, comeon. The Ruger Mini is the most accurate assault rifle known to man! I read it on THR fer cryin out loud!

[RocketMan]

If they had hung more tacticool stuff on it, it would have been even more better awesomer deadly.  It's obvious their firearms technical advisor was not on his game.

Yeah, where's that gonkulator? Gotta have it, otherwise it'll be worthless. I also don't see any sub-atomic weasel launcher either. Nor a chainsaw bayonet. Nor was it cut down to 5 inches. That's what happens when you don't use GunKid Firearms Service Inc for all your movie related needs regarding firearms.

Oh it's quite possible any firearms adviser they had pointed out the errors, it's also quite likely that after he did so the director smacked him over the head with a sock full of quarters, stuffed him in a closet, and then went about directing his vision

[lee n. field]

At least it's a Ranch Rifle, and not one of those bastard clunky aftermarket scope mounts on a standard Mini.

With a shoulder thing that goes up.  Which La Blonde does not appear to have actually against her shoulder.

"Why bother" squared.

Kinda sad that someone has visions of a Mini-14 sniper rifle.... 


...but I'll still probably see it anyway...not too many spy/assassin movies out anyway.... 

[sanglant]

the biggest thing missing is the bottle opener, how are you going to open your beer after a kill with no bottle open on your rifle.

[HankB]

Yeah, where's that gonkulator? Gotta have it, otherwise it'll be worthless.

Unless it was being built for a Navy SEEL, why would he add something that's only useful on a submarine?

[Viking]

If you were a SEEEL like Gunkid (even more special than a mere SEEL), you'd understand that a gonkulator has it's uses above the surface as well.

[Perd Hapley]

If you were a SEEEL like Gunkid (even more special than a mere SEEL), you'd understand that a gonkulator has it's uses above the surface as well.

Yeah.  You should gonkulate at least twice a week.

[RocketMan]

Yeah.  You should gonkulate at least twice a week.

Do you brush your teeth or exfoliate afterwards?  I can never remember.

[MechAg94]

It's obvious their firearms technical advisor was not on his game.

By the time the firearms adviser got through laughing, the director had already agreed to use it and finished shooting the movie and likely finished production as well. 

[nico]

Guess I'll watch the Expendables, then.

Terry Crews with his incendiary shotgun shells in the AA12 was much more believable than a Mini 14 sniper rifle  .  I saw the Expendables today and was a little disappointed that he didn't get more camera time.   

[brimic]

That's an awesome chin weld.
What's that thing above the trigger supposed to be? Da switch?
I think I'll pass on this movie.
