kek

>>32502668

>ditto

was alright, i like FAL's

>>32502668
Would've been better if it didn't go full Hollywood, right down to the shit of running while cannon rounds impact on either side of the character

>>32502741
Have you seen the movie?
The only thing that would have made the anti-UN sentiment in that movie is if the main character looked right into the camera and said "OI, FOOK THA UN."

>>32502668
>Is this movie realistic
The answer is no and will remain no for every single movie you will have ever watched, so for fucks sake stop making these fucking stupid threads.

>>32502743
The Bren is very accurate (really too accurate for an MG) and was often used as a sniper weapon.

Why were the Irish armed with Lee-Enfields, Brens and Vickers guns (.303 British), FN FALs (7.62 NATO) and Carl Gustav SMGs (9mm). Wouldn't it have made ammo supplies stupid complicated?

>>32502813
they had a scoped SMLE you fucking mong

>>32502710
>>32502813
The M2 .50 was sometimes used for long shots. Especially by the actual deadliest American sniper.

>the CO gets shot in the shoulder with a rifle bullet from a several hundred yards
>hardly penetrates at all
>he's running around right as rain a couple of minutes later
>'tis but a scratch
Even if the round hit at long range with most of the force spent wouldn't it at least break his collar bone?

>>32502668
Pretty /k/ approved, but all scenes related to the plane in the movie was garbage.

>>32502710
>machine guns cant be used as a sniper
Carlos Hathcock would like to have a word with you.

>>32502782
Did you seen the movie? UN troops killing the the unarmed civilians in the captured radio station? Trying to cover it up later? No real support or useful oders for the guys at Jadotville from the UN.

>>32502830
Postwar supply chains were often fucked in this manner. Imagine switching over from whatever you had before to a NATO standard. These changeovers don't happen overnight.

>>32502846
>>32502850
see >>32502840

they had a scoped boltgun in the same chambering but thanks anyway

>>32502789
This.
Just watch it or don't watch it, stop seeking the approval of the internet.

>>32502840
No, they had a surplus No.4T

I don't know why he single loaded the Bren unless that was a custom load or some bs but the shot was entirely plausible

>>32502789
What is the least unrealistic war movie ever made?

>>32503063
Come and see

>>32502668
The scene where the SEC GEN gets shot down by an F4 really grated on me. In a movie at least attempting to be realistic, that was so bizarre as to be on my mind for the rest of the runtime.

>>32503090
Why?

Another movie showing how much a retarded joke the UN is.

every military movie cliche ever is included in this,
i've most of the war movies i have watched have the same plot. its like watching the same movie, it was okay though because it was based on an interestin story

>Siege of Jadotville

Haven't been this annoyed by a movie since Passchendaele.

>>32503609
Handing military operations to living jokes like the Irish, Indian and Swedish armies was the retarded bit.

It was hollywood as all hell, but the story is essentially true and I'm not a massive autist so embellished combat scenes don't bother me. Your mileage may vary.

>>32502668
YES IT IS JESUS CHRIST STOP MAKING THESE FDUCKING THREADS

It's okay, I watched it and decided to enjoy it rather than obsess over every thing that goes boom like some of the autists here do. But the FALs were sexy.

I was thinking he loaded the Bren because it was a sighting issue with the Enfield. He probably didn't want to fuck with his combat zero on the 4t. And the Bren was historically known for being silly accurate, with a ladder style rear sight.

>>32503726
This. they had to "fix the accuracy" by literally marring the crown of the barrel sometimes

>>32503842
>>32502813

god dammit, why are you fucks listening to some washed up nobody bong?

>>32502782
have you seen the movie?

its comically retarded in how simplistic it portrays the UN as good and the ebil belgians ad bad you fucking retard

>>32502710
The heavy floated barrel was likely quite a lot better than the Enfield.

>>32502858
not to mention it's ireland we're talking about

probably received the back-end of england's surplus at the time

>>32503933
No it isn't. What about when the Indians fuck up and kill a load of civilians and there's a cover-up?

>>32503933
You are seriously the first person i met, that claims the movie
>portrays the UN as good
Not going to waste anymore time with an that obvious troll/idiot.

>>32502830
Ireland's military budget is on par with Luxembourg, I think it was the UN that paid for their Carl-Gustav SMGs.

>>32504161
>Giving the guy who looses his cool and forgets to breath the new shiny SLR (or FAL not sure) while everyone else gets a World War 2 gun.

>>32504175
they shot Colonel Sanders!!
now who will bring them their fried chicken rations?

>>32502668
I made it a couple minutes in before I saw the fireball explosions and immediately turned it off.

>>32504189
It's an L1A1, moron.
>that gun
>shiny
>new

>>32504262
>that gun

>low eared front sight guards
>three hole handguard
>that dumb looking Belgian or US import muzzle device

It's supposed to be an l1a1 but sure as hell doesn't look like one.

>>32504423
That's because it's a 50.00 (US import, wtf are you talking about?). Did the UN supply them with weapons?

>>32504161
Enemy just stands around in the open a couple of hundred yards away. Ah yes, highly realistic.

>>32504831
Read what happened in the battle.

>>32504831
Bush wars are pretty much like that man.

>>32502848
I haven't seen the movie but adrenaline can make people do seemingly impossible things

>>32502668
It was decent, not great though. Watch Hell or High Water though, great film.

>>32504831
They think snorting crack and eating children's organs makes them invincible. Most of the time those dudes are so high out of their minds they can't do much more than walk forward.

>>32504102
Probably donated by Sweden. They sent nine batallions to Congo over 4 years, as well as 11 aircraft.

The not-so-subtle implication that the U.S. assassinated the secretary general tickled me a lot honestly.

>>32505919
http://www.nytimes.com/2015/03/17/world/africa/un-opens-new-investigation-into-crash-that-killed-dag-hammarskjold.html?_r=0

They are quite implied, yes. Not subtly either.

>>32502710
Brens have been known for their accuracy

>>32506068
The US also were the ones who stood behind the assassination of Lumumba, setting off the Congo Crisis.

>>32503090
yeah that was kind of weird. If anyone shot him down it was the Belgians. They're the ones that really were behind killing Lamumba. The CIA just signed off on it.

>>32503939

This. The Bren has about 300 meters of range on the SMLE, IIRC.

>>32505889
I mean, non of those under siege were killed. look that shit up its fucking incredible.

>>32502668
Shit was okay at best.

the amount of people he pissed off with those bren v spandau videos makes me fucking laugh so hard.

>>32504204
No wonder the africans are so angry.

>>32502668
It had short shorts and FALs, I liked the aesthetic even if it was a little shallow. I can forgive it abandoning "muh realism".
