When I watched the move "RedTails", I could help laughing when a 262  hit a P51 with multiple rounds, and was thinking the hit plane was not a  P51 but a Yak3 in AH  :D
My ammo last for 6 Lancasters, or one Yak3.

it's hollywood, it's entertaining. kind of like the walking dead, some guy will kill a walker from 300 yards while throwing a screwdriver, but will miss a guy with a gun at 30 yards on full automatic.

remember saving pvt ryan?  when mellish gets stabbed with his own bayonet?  some people in the comments were talking how they would have stabbed the german soldier in the leg or stomach. but like I pointed out, the reason he didnt was because that's how the script was written.

Hollywood isnt documentaries and even documentaries dont get it wright 100% most of the time.

that's it.

I enjoy looking for inconsistencies in movies...
My fav is from the '50s or '60s film "The Vikings" where
as a Viking long boat was sailing along, way in the background
u can see a modern freighter

There are many examples... remember the scene of Pickett's
charge at Gettysburg? Rent it someday... there is a surprise
in the background

 :salute
