I am not in the military, never been to war, just sitting at home watching tv only. But I have a question that might be very ignorant. I have not even finish the movie, just can't wait to ask people that might have real life experience.
In the movie, there's a lot of street to street fighting where a lot of cases the enemies are within 25yds. Those soldiers are either Delta Force or Rangers. They all supposed to be very well trained, not just regular joe. I assume they were using M16 or something just as accurate. How the hell they keep shooting and missed the enemy?
They were not charging, a lot of them were behind barricade. They should have time to aim, at least one second to aim. Stupid and ignorant old me, I know I can shoot the head every time in like 25 yd or less given the kind of time. ( of cause, I am arm chair quarterbacking and with no pressure). BUT hell, I am not Delta or Rangers either. they were just wasting ammo shooting.
I am not an exception shooter by any means, I only shot rifle a few times, I never have problem hitting the target at 50yds or even 100yds and is not even all over the target. Also, I've been to gun range for years and saw "police" shooting all over the place and particular those that wore camouflage, never seen one that can shoot yet all these years. I hope those were not in the military, or else, it's sad. I am not into rifle because it's too easy to shoot in short distance like 50 yds. I know for long distance, then the wind comes into play and it's a totally different skill set. But at 25yds or closer, come on!!!!
Is it just in movie that they just shoot a lot of bullets to make it more dramatic? Seems like it would be a lot more productive to think and look more and shoot less!!!
Is this movie, not real life? Or I am too ignorant to even ask?
Ignorant me.
