BTW do you actually fly in AH2 or just talk watermelon on the BBS?

Mac I'd say 75% of the OC posters don't fly AH.
-
If you think that's bad, you should see what civil-war equipment did to people. At least that guy up there died pretty quickly.

The first part of FMJ was really great! If they would have stopped the movie at the end of boot camp would have been okay. The last half really sucked. Expert sniper by a 13-14 year old? With an AK47? yeah, that's believable.....
I liked Platoon much better than FMJ.

That's just nit pickin', innit?

I don't think that was a 13-14 y.o. it was a female VC. But, considering they had been fighting for most of their lives, it's very possible they had 14 y.o. experts.

R Lee Ermy is the apidomy (SP) of a Marine Corps drill instructer (except for the physical abuse)
Every DI aspires to be like him and sound like him. I love the guy as much as a man can non sexually love another man. he's funny but furocious at the same time. Mail call is one of my favorite shows and I really dont think that show would make it with out him.
-
R. Lee Ermey IS Mail Call. He's a darn good actor, too. I saw an interview once where he said in reality he more like the Drill Instructor he played in "The Boys in Company C" than FMJ, but he was protraying HIS Drill Instructor in FMJ. Stanley Kubrick let him adlib most of his monologs and they just let the camera roll.
I also liked Jack Webb's performance in "The D.I."

AK47...open sights....precision sniping?
I don't think so. The Vietnamese didn't have the time, training, and money to have specialized training in precision shooting (as compared to the West). They did have some that were very good shooters but they were usually outfitted with the Mosin-Nagat w/relatively crude optics.
FMJ went through your typical Hollywood treatment. Introducing a young lady as the sniper was done for the "plot" for the typical "shock" value, nothing more.
The AK47 is known for its reliability and ruggedness, not for accuracy. It's just not made for precision shooting, particularly for sniping.
FMJ had an awesome first half, the second half was just too dissappointing in comparison.

kubrick.

Ask any Viet Nam vet and he will tell you that the women where just as good a shots as the men.
And the VC had some great shots just read Gunny Hathnoodles book.

Carlos Hathcock...
now thats a shooter
A 5 day engagement that wiped out an entire company of Vietcong guerrillas
Hathcock's 2500 yard confirmed kill with a .50 caliber Browning rifle-longest sniper kill ever documented.
There have been many Marines, and there have been many snipers, However with 93 confirmed kills, over 300 probable kills, and many more enemy WIA's, there will never be another Sergeant Carlos Hathcock.

Agreed!
The best mission I ever heard/read about was his going solo behind enemy lines into an enemy camp and taking out their commander. That mission was over 3-4 days and all he had for supplies was a canteen of water.
That mission alone is well worth buying his book.

i'm sure one of the finn's will pipe up with the details of that finnish sniper that pwnd the soviets.
or boroda will pipe up about vassili zaitsev (240 or so confirmed kills?) ;)

Very good idea Furby!!:D
Simo Häyhä. Finland. 1939 - 1940.
A member of the 34th Infantry Regiment and a farmer by trade, Simo Häyhä became a most feared sniper during the 1939-40 (30 November 1939 14 March 1940) Winter invasion of Finland by the Soviet Union. Using nothing more than an iron sighted Mosin-Nagant Model 28, Simo is credited with killing 505 Russians during a three month period - a feat still unmatched today by any sniper in any conflict.
Sulo Kolkka. Finland, 1939 - 1940.
During 105 days of combat Sulo was credited with 400+ enemy kills as a sniper in the Winter War (30 November 1939 14 March 1940). He used an iron sighted Mosin-Nagant rifle. He often took the war to the rear of the Soviet lines, causing much fear and frustration as this area was supposedly safe. In addition to the kills he made as a sniper, Kolkka also was apparently quite fond of the submachine gun as he made an additional 200 kills with it during this same time frame. Hunted often by the Soviets, he outlasted them all, killing the sniper sent to hunt him at 600 yards with a single shot after a running duel of several days.

"Hathcock's 2500 yard confirmed kill with a .50 caliber Browning rifle-longest sniper kill ever documented."
just a side note, "The kill, one of more than 20 unofficially accredited to Canadian snipers during Operation Anaconda in Afghanistan's Shah-i-Kot Valley, beat the 35-year-old record of 2,500 yards, or 2,250 metres, set by U.S. Marine Gunnery Sgt. Carlos Hathcock in Duc Pho, South Vietnam."

"More than 20" is like saying Manning threw for "More than 10" TDs this season. :)
Terrorist Badguys No Likey the PPLI. :)
Hathcock mounted a scope on a .50 M2 BMG for that shot - hardly a rifle. Makes you wonder what Hathcock would be like today stalking the hills of Afghanistan with a true modern .50 rifle.
