What I don't get is why they change the sounds of the Minigun/Gatling gun; the real sound of that is incredible, yet Hollywood always change it to something else. Its a rare film that keeps it accurate.

Predator?

And no, you wouldn't want to lug it around in the jungle in real life but still makes for a great toy for Hollywood!

I've always thought the beach scene in Saving Private Ryan was the best celluloid portrayal of combat I've seen and would likely remain so, until last night that is when I watched Lone Survivor and the shootout in the mountains. Intense, visceral, gritty, stark, we're gonna need a bigger thesaurus. Now I know the emotions it generated are nothing like actual combat, as I sat there with my beer, crisps and 6.1 surround sound/7ft projector screen but holy cow! The bar has been re-set I feel, unless you can think of anything better.

Are you having a laugh?

It's wk.
