What was so special about this reload?

>Was it the smoothness of it?
Basically. Bear in mind that this was before all the modern videogamey tac-reload bullshit, so by todays standards its not all that impressive.

And those fixed eyes. Goddam Michael Mann knows how to make good movies(and some shit ones).

>"This is how I want you to reload.""
because he reloads behind cover

>>34741521
It was before super tactical was a big deal. It's no big deal nowadays. It'd be considered an adequate reload now.

he drops to a knee indicating to all others h is reloading, he takes cover. loads make drops bolt smooth and clean

It's just a good solid tactical reload without much flaws.
Another (probably apocryphal) word from an "instructor" was "If you can't reload as fast and as smoothly as this actor, you have no place in the military" which kinda says something...

Fires, gets in cover, keeps the weapon in his workspace and has it ready to go in the shortest possible time. Very clean and smooth.

10/10
Smooth, nothing fancy or meme worthy, excellent use of cover and keeping weapon ready for use.

This scene is also a good look at bounding overwatch. One or two people are providing suppressive fire to keep the cops in cover as the third person moves forward to a new firing position to start suppressing so the other person or persons can advance. If Larry Philips and Emil matasareanu had done anything similar to this instead of firing blindly for three quarters of an hour they might have been able to escape

Is these scene actually realistic? When i first saw it i thought it was bullshit and they woulda got shot pretty quickly with that many police around but now its always wanked as being this great tactical realistic scene (i thought it was cool in the context of the movie and an exciting scene, but not realistic). Is suppressive fire really that effective that 3 people can be out in the open and rely on it?

Most people aren't gonna go expose themselves when people are shooting at you, yes.
Especially cops with no body armor.

>>34744538
This is what i thought, does it rely on the situation being so loud and confusing for relatively unprepared and underarmed police? If SWAT etc turned up would that make a huge difference?

>>34742139
Yeah then he just instantly pops up and exposes himself to heavy incoming fire.

They aren't fighting smart at all, they're fighting with pure aggression and wasting ammo.

>>34744505
Almost everyone in the getaway car would have been wounded or killed while only the black guy died in the movie, it was realistic afterward.

WORKED THO DIDNT IT MATE

they're in a gunfight with police, they already fucked up.
