Did this really happen in the war?

If this was an effective tactic our soldiers would be equipped with shields. Also love the way his aim is incredibly good while running, holding his gun one-handed at the hip, and carrying a 180 lb man in the other hand.
>no it didn't

>>78923505
prove it

this happened all the time in WW2. the japanese even had a word for it: chingabong

Didn't the people making fun of this scene get BTFO in another thread a few minutes ago?

>>78923696
Is the first grenade a yo-yo or something?

only part of the movie i thought was stupid

>>78923696

"Surrendering" IJA and IJN members pulling out grenades, pistols, knives, etc.? All the fucking time. Even downed fliers and survivors of sunken ships tried to kill the guys pulling them out of the water.

The Japanese routinely booby trapped their wounded and dead too.

>>78923696
didn't that actually happen?

No idea, but from what I understand hes testing out how gore is to the "mainstream" for his viking epic

>>78923696
Yeah it actually did.

>>78923696
Considering the main reason the movie was made was because the guy and his family wanted it to be as accurate as possile, I say that it most certainly did.

Definitely. Military guys never embellish their stories, everything they say can be considered 100% accurate, without a doubt.

>>78923424

can a dead body stop rifle bullets ? Probably not.

>>78923696

This scene is a mix of two events. Jack Glover encountered Japanese soldiers pretending to surrender to them with white flags, and then trowing them grenades, but Doss wasn't there (I think)

Doss did in fact threw back two grenades off, but it was at night, in a close combat with Japanese soldiers. He was wounded in his leg by shrapnel and stayed 5 hours alone up until them found him and take him away. He got off his stretcher to help someone else who was wounded.

>>78923696
Since he kicked a live grenade back at them, doesn't this count as violence? A real pacifist would throw his body on it to save EVERYONE, not just his fellow soldiers

This and Vince Vaughn getting dragged on the carpet. Kermode was right about this being like Tropic Thunder. How could they not tell this would come off as ridiculous and comedic?

>>78923696
Yes. Do you actually think Gernades explode right away?

Did you think it would explode sooner because he kicked it?

You could get your favorite baseball player to throw it at a brick wall and there's a fair chance it wouldn't explode.

Not reliably, particularly with the larger WW2 rifle cartridges.

Might get lucky and have some hit a bone a tumble dramatically, but the bulk of them are just going to blow right through.

If humans had the consistency of sandbags, bullets wouldn't be as dangerous in the first place.

>>78923424

so much whacky unbelievable shit happened in world war 2 that I don't really doubt it. So many fucking people were drafted you were bound to get a few unhinged lads who would just lose it in the heat of combat and do something crazy.

>>78924251
I thought Hollywood being naked for absolutely no reason was really stupid too.

>>78923505

well it was half a man and your legs are pretty heavy so lets say a 110lb man or so. you're right though it's totally ridiculous. that gun is really heavy too.

>>78923696
why are americans so full of shit lmao

>>78925413
It's basically the only worthwhile thing they've achieved as a nation, and the bulk of the work was actually done by commies, which makes them insecure about it.

>>78923424
I don't know, maybe. Probably. I've never been in war, and I'm sure none of you have either. I'm not talking about serving in the military either. I'm talking about having experience in mass combat, which unless any of you faggots are over 60 years old, I'm guessing the answer to that is no.

It was a mental tactic. He hadn't been in combat before so he acted on a whim. People do dump shit like that all the time when they're still green.

>>78923424
The most unsettling thing about this is that they portray the guy as not fully dead yet.

>>78923424
unlikely, even if it's just a torso with a head, I don't think you can hold it like that with one hand

>>78927722

I mean the gun alone must weight 25lbs, no way you can aim with one hand like that, plus the recoil

ITT limp wrist faggots

>>78924701
Doesn't Doss throwing grenades back constitute an intent to kill? He didn't hit people back when he got hit, so why is throwing a grenade back okay?

>>78923696
He killed a jap right fucking there, kicking the grenade into that guy.
>not killing anybody
My ass

>>78927795

They were already being shot as he went to hit the grenades you blind retard. They chose their fate when they attacked that line of guns.

>>78927787
It doesn't look like he's specifically trying to direct it any direction other than away from themselves

>>78927831
So if Doss closes his eyes and throws his fists in random directions, it doesn't count as violence if a fist kills someone?

>>78927820
No, that guy wasn't. the japanese guy gets engulfed in an explosion right before he gets gently pushed back midair by a shrapnel grenade which causes a fiery explosion for some reason, you autist,

>>78924790
bye rddit

>>78927854
Same as gun fire. He just has to close his eyes and use a machine gun to mow down japs

>>78927854
2/10 Nobody actually believes you're as retarded as you're pretending to be.

>>78927854
He's hitting away a grenade that somebody else threw at him, it's not like he chose to have an armed grenade right there

You're a blind retard.

You can just feel the Gibson in this scene. It's so obvious Mel directed it.

>>78923424
It's an action movie trope to see this happen, but how good even are human bodies as shields?

>>78931197
depends really

>>78931197
terrible
The jap rifles and machine guns fired full powered rifle cartridges, like in modern sniper rifles, which would go straight through him, his shield, and several people in a line behind him (if they were standing there). American rifles were even more powerful.
I'd bet that there were dumb soldiers who did shit like this anyway in the heat of battle because they didn't know better, though. It may have confused or scared the enemy, depending on the circumstances

It might have stopped a bullet from a shitty Nambu pistol, but probably not (and only Jap officers had those anyway)

Mel Gibson said the guy was injured while on one of those Medic beds, being carried away when he pulled himself off, crawled on the floor to rescue injured people.

There was way more the pacifist did that Gibson said they couldn't film because a lot of it was too unrealistic even though yes it really happened

>>78933158
He's a conscientious objector, not a pacifist, there's a difference. A pacifist would've objected towards going for a war in the first place. A conscientious objector on the other hand does support war efforts in hope of protecting the women and children at home, but does not want to be directly involved in the killings in the war, just like how doctors in the war tents treat injured patients, they support the war effort but do not go on the front lines killing and taking land.

Of course it didn't, it's just a bunch of kooky war stories that someone realized they could cash in on. See above post where Mel Gibson said they didn't include a lot of the stories because they were just too unbelievable.
