New contender for world's most implausible shoot-out...

[Pond James Pond]

.... yes, even compared to the Matrix.

Watched the second half of Snowpiercer last night which depicts a dystopic future ice-age 2-tier society that set on a train!

At one point, the super-long train is racing along on a long curve and a bad-guy at one end, sighting up with a RDS AR and the goodie has a Skorpion machine-pistol. The diameter of the curve is about 400m.

Machine pistol, one handed over 400m, from a moving platform at the other end of the same moving platform... windage, bullet drop and yet they were getting 3" groups.

Ye gads...

Laser guided bullets?
It is a sci fi yarn.

 

[Pond James Pond]

No such luck: just good-old fashioned gravity, crosswind resistant bullets....

 

[BarryLee]

Haven't seen the movie, but if it's in the future than they must be using Smart bullets.

The scene was directed by a college physics professor who worked the figures in a frictionless vacuum

There was a vacuum, alright... but it was not the air that was missing!!

Snowpiercer

Excellent just excellent

 

[A pause for the COZ]

I saw that movie... Not the only thing wrong with it. But on a day when nothing else is on. Better than washing dishes.

Here's a real-life shot that even Hollywood would probably think is too implausible to believe...

Marquez told police he was visiting his girlfriend at her apartment when he went outside to grab something from his car. As he walked back, he saw two young men with masks on their face. One of the men told him to “give it up,” Marquez said, and pulled out a pistol.

Marquez said the two men fired first and he returned fire.

One of Marquez’s bullets struck Meshesha’s pistol, traveling straight down that gun’s barrel and disabling it. Police called the shot “one in a billion.”
