Great movie as far as gun use and tactics goes I think. As always you can find plenty of new toys and tools for your guns and you can never have enough right!? :) I found some cool combat knives too that often go under the radar, http://www.pxsupply.com has some nice Asek and S & W ones that you can't go without.

But when I saw it in the film, my logic, physics and rest of my brain said stuff it and accepted that scene as the best I have ever seen in a movie.

Can anyone make a screen shot of it? Neopup would be a better match to the scene of dynamic firefight here than NTW-20 heavy rifle I never saw Neopup in the film. Can anyone make a screen shot of it?

In reality when a rocket leaves the tube then stabilizing fins spring open in the rocket's tail forming a cross. Here the rocket flies with a round 'pencil' in its tail which is actually the starting charge which bursts in the tube pushing a rocket out. Producers used to see a rocket ready and charged on pictures but they never shot RPG-7 RPG-7 shooting scene is ridiculous.

The only other three alien guns they use are kind of straight forward and get very little screen time. Not much at all anywhere on any of them them it seems. Also, good calls on the rest of the weapons! I was mistaken when I watched the movie and was wondering why they were running around with Signaporian Bullpups... I had thought they were the SAR-21's, and now that seems a bit embarrassing.
