+largol33t1 It's... sort of a shitty movie other than this scene, honestly.

Safton

True but at the same time there was BARELY any blood.

Anubis 23 I believe if you can hit people in the chest and hit the heart, that can reduce the amount of blood loss as once the heart stops pumping blood only leaks from the wound without the usually pressure and with 5.56 there's less chance of the bullets exiting the body.

i think the most realistic thing about this scene is the way he died, usually in movies a bullet to the face and the guy drops dead instantly, but he way they portrayed it in this scene is pretty similar to the real thing,

While learning rifle training in the civilian world I was told a one man offense is suicide

Thats why drones and hand grenades exist, nuke them from orbit

The tragic villain or an antivillain as an archetype. The darker shade of gray before going all in. What's interesting the most evil is perpetuated under a faulty logic and/or high emotion, but is acting as if it's totally just. Chaotic. The protagonist becomes disillusioned but rather fully transit into the far more elevated state consciousness. He corresponds with raw anger in the same way because like in his past life duped and used for a agenda that he did have some faculty to dissent or not engage in the 1st place. Likewise in the film and you pointed out he went out fighting but was cost worth it? No, even that one civilian casualty that is too many considering the plausibility he just orphaned a child. He died, no resolution and all this modality of filth lives another day with a flesh wound.

"but in the end it solved nothing" Sure cleaned some dirt off the streets for the short term. That's not "nothing". Perhaps if we had more vigilantes to strike the fear of God into the criminals...

If we had more armed citizens, that would do a lot of good. But not vigilantes. Active Self Protection is a channel that mirrors my views on the subject. Miller didn't manage to kill the gang's leader, nor did he kill all the henchmen. The little boy who killed him will likely grow up hardened and more dangerous than the average criminal. So in the end, all Miller did was prove to some criminals that they can be more violent and decisive than the best vigilante, and they'll be more cautious (and they were already cracking down murderously on any innocents who got in their way). Since movies aren't a great showcase of reality, I recommend Active Self Protection again. Also, Paul Harrell. The latter has been in two self-defense shootings as a civilian, and his insight is wise. (I wish I was as wise as my gamertag username)

@@WisdomThumbs More armed citizens are sorely needed, but that wouldn’t prevent armed gangs from operating. In fact, if the gang decided to eliminate the armed citizen, he wouldn’t stand a chance. So the main difference between what we call “vigilante” and an armed citizen? Whether he surprises the gang and fights them on their turf, or has his home invaded by multiple gangsters when the element of surprise is working for the evil side... Now if this movie was real life, Miller would be better off to invite his friend to join his adventure, and that’s what he’d probably do. A few military veterans would plan the mission carefully and ensure the elimination of all gangsters. A group of vigilantes is more effective than one vigilante. Conclusion: We need more vigilantes, IE, groups of “armed citizens” sweeping and cleaning urban streets. Being that this is America, I guess we can call them, um, a “militia?”

@@yidy1 Fat chance of real state militias ever coming back to America. Even though Americans sorely need the team-building exercises and fieldcraft of Adult Scouts.

Probably because they wanted to stick to as realistic of a film as possible. Also as a veteran he probably shot semi auto 90% of the time anyways

its the best way to hit something dingus

*Achievement Unlocked* *

1:30 was automatic

You may note it seems he's using a technique called controlled pairs. Two shots one rapidly after the next. In the US Army at least that's the way we were taught doing shoot and move drills.

Blacklava makes it cooler

No, I agree with you, its not a rip off, its a very tasteful show of appreciation to one of the greatest films ever made, I love it when film makers include these little nods to their influences. The main reason I commented was in the hope that if anyone reading my comment hasn't already seen Taxi Driver they might check it out, they definitely wont be disappointed!

Blacklava i especially love the part where he gets shot in the shoulder then switches to full auto. he was like Batao in ghost in the shell badass

With the little sleeve gun contraption? I agree, possibly the most badass shootout in cinema history!

Blacklava damn thats in taxi driver too lol never noticed

HOOAH Brother.. I was thinking along those lines as well..I,noticed that he used the scope very little,wasting a lot of Ammo..

Check this out u wont regret kzfaq.info/get/bejne/i7aepbxmp97IlH0.html its a mini series from a game company called Battlestate game the team behind Escape from Tarkov ( a hard core simulate shooter game )

@@Sgt-xw5lxWith experience you can shoot >20 m accurately without fully using the sights.

I’m really curious, but walking out in the open street and not moving from cover to cover dangerous? usually you’d prefer covering fire while moving but he’s one man so shooting while moving is acceptable, but what would you do? I’m interested. Because I’d imagine the thugs wouldn’t run towards the protagonist, but Instead wait for him to pop out, by having everyone aiming at the tree (maybe they aren’t thinking under the adrenaline, who knows

​@@LMaudy I think he knows he has more firepower so he just wants to bait engagement. He's trying to get somewhere and taking out everything in his way

You should watch Way Of The Gun too if you like realistic gunfights. Neat lil movie

WHAT?! You clearly have no idea about "gun fights". This was one of the most unrealistic and spastic gun fight scene I have seen in a while... PS. Yes his AR didn't have 200 rounds in the magazine, but everything else is just cringe in that scene, not to mention the lack of blood...

​@@subfreakuentwhat I will say is they don't really have that budget.

@@subfreakuent So you clearly have no idea about "gun fights" in cinema. Compared to other movies, this gunfight truly is one of the most realistic ones - the fact that you see reloads happening is already a massive change from the majority of films. If you actually watch some of the real gunfights you will notice that people dont really explode with blood like it is shown in movies...

@@Lehr-km5be Yeah, if you watch every random trash movie tagged as "action" you might probably come to that conclusion. My point is that this movie scene has nothing to offer but a guy realistically reloading his AR, while his targets spastically jump in front of him, getting riddled with bullets and die without shedding a drop of blood... If this is a "realistic gun fight" in your opinion then you are setting the bar extremely low...

Yeah, the end kind of spoiled it though. Okay, you've been shot in the neck; you're already dead, why give up and stop returning fire? I did like the use of semi auto fire though.

Rozmic I think it was because that was the kid he had been trying to help for the whole of the movie.

Rozmic Try being wounded and reloading a clearly empty pistol... much harder with the shock of injury, I'm afraid...

@@Rozmic He couldn't reload without taking pressure off the neck wound, plus he wasn't really functioning much by then. The camera pans down and we see the blood loss. He knew it was over

Moving slowly out in the open with a million spots to be shot from? VERY NICE.

He clapped an innocent, too....

@@bobdadnaila7708 thats war for you. The ideals of two sides causing innocents to get hurt

@@kubglo7502 Kid shut the hell up this is literally why vigilante justice is illegal. Just because a party is guilty doesn't mean every single person around them is.

correct

@luca fresh increases your cardiovascular fitness (you need less oxygen), increases your carbon dioxide tolerance, and helps push out air from your lungs so it's more efficient. Really you should be breathing through your nose 99.9% of the time, even when doing difficult exercise

@luca fresh breathing techniques alone can improve performance in many physical activities, breathing through your nose also keeps your airways from drying out

Yes but when you get into a gunfight adrenaline starts to rush through your body and as a result you mouth breath to get as much air as possible because your in flight or fight mode.

@@cartermanjohn7702 Yes, it does take practice. And it's continuous practice. Still, we're more likely to be hit by a car than killed by a firearm, or die from oil/coal related illness, so it's not worth it imo. Even still, boxing or MMA would still training your fight or flight mode to be better.

Yeah, I'm gonna show this to my buddy in the 75th and see what he thinks of it.

Safton lets me know

BizzLeVrai I showed it to him. Basically, he said that this scene ranks pretty high in terms of realism when it comes to movie firefights. However, if it was him during the encounter at 3:25, he would have hunkered down with his superior weapon and shot it out with those two guys from a distance instead of moving up on them. He also made a point that the actor obviously has a pretty high level of weapons training and it shows in his confidence level. This is displayed notably by the fact that a lot of the shooting he does is "reflex/point" shooting where his eye never really aims down the sight at his target despite the fact that he's otherwise using proper stance and technique. While this is sometimes the way to go IRL, generally speaking you're going to have a sight picture at some point during firing, even if it's hardly noticeable.

Safton Yeah that's my main gripe with this scene. He could easily snap shoot them at that range while they're kind of at the limit of accurate handgun shooting for someone who is actually well trained with one. Moving out of cover and into a more effective range for them makes me wince.

+BizzLeVrai Big thing that made me wince was the fact he willingly exposed himself during the stroll down the block. Big no-no in hostile fire.

It cost him his plot armor.

+will reed Literally lol

Screw that mercy kill. Let the bitch burn

he got badly burned.

Jay C “It went well until I started to feel a burning rash on my thunder-rod.”

It happened IRL at a BLM rally last summer...funny as hell....you might still be able to find the video....dude was all on fire screaming.

Glad someone noticed. All live sound, no sound fx at all if I remember correctly. Still proud of the way it worked out.

I guess its pretty good for the budget they probably had but cmon, the sounds of the weapons are not that good, and defo not comparable to heat.

@@Johnsmith-fz2dm Pretty real. 5.56 is not so loud

@@gorraksmashskull 5.56 is one of the loudest rifle rounds IMO.

@@gorraksmashskull you obviously have never been by or shot an AR . Or anything 5.56 or .223 for arguments sake. I would stop talking brother, your looking like a jackass to people who know their stuff.

Love your videos man

Fuck off fps Russia is a dick claims to be firearms expert knew next to fuck all on sa80 a1 I mean called susat acog sight lol

Ehehe.

not me

and this scene isn't realistic at all wtf

haha me man but this shit aint that

word for word

Andre?

Cee Woo Yes, shake it like a polaroid picture.

He could have gone through unscathed. After all, not all get wounded, in this kind of scenario. But well.

Not street gangs but organized gangs such as the Cartels Russian Mafia etc they can

Adam Abdullahi not if the army was aloud to operate properly they wouldnt

uk spartan 2 Some organized gangs employ army veterans and seasoned mercenaries.

@@admiralspire8867 Facts. Exactly how paramilitary organizations are formed.

@@admiralspire8867 It goes further. Many gang members who stay clean enough join the military for next level training. It is why the military has a thing about certain kinds of tattoos... too many people who made good soldiers in the Army also made good soldiers in the streets of LA.

Andy McNabb was advisor on that

David Brock had a front sight but up was using a Trijicon ACOG

This has to be the WORST display of "military tactics" i've ever seen. Everything he did in this scene would have gotten him killed in combat...bad gunplay is just painful to watch

Jason Watts and you must know a whole bunch about that.

Jason Watts You clearly know nothing about "military tactics"...

What do you mean sound like BBs? You referring to the hits on walls and trees?

@@poppasmurf15well if you watch the movie he doesn’t care he killed all of them this was just to send a message.

Keep house prices high. Charming. :-/

@@Briselance gentrification at its finest..

Nah the way of the gun its not realistic because they have infinite ammo

Except that he did.

Giant sack of hot garbage yup, plus Larrys already done Heat foo

Heat and collateral blow this away.

I know i know Heat is the ultimate, i mean with Mick Gould advising for firearms and training, its gonna be the best.

@@Jonnnn_5when you have better funding and Hollywood yeah it’s better but for a movie with 2million that’s crazy.

Sicario comes pretty close, but i agree

@BuckGreywolfe shit happens. You can't control everything, but you can control yourself. Thats all I meant.

Guy with the akimbo 357s would probably miss tbh.

Not many bangers left to make that call, my man.

It's spelled, Paratrooper.

Can't if 5-19 jits are running into your bullets and dividing and spray and pray you gotta lay some fire down for cover while your running in the open he did which is why it costed the hit because of lack of brain power to know that man was spraying to get to that tree line to pick them off one by one😂😂😂

collateral kills are realistic as well I guess

He was standing there, looking down at what he did. As long as they did not start firing at him again. Then there is no more looking around

Thank God, I thought I was the only person who thought that. I especially got annoyed at the stairs around 4:00.

***** sometimes, NOTHING beats Mindset, experience and PRACTICE!

That's why he died! he was not super hero

+0955interactive i agree with you but i thought he got a little to confident..

You keep your rifle down unless you feel like flagging your position... especially as one man. You have to be able to transition smoothly if you aren't in a fire team. That then boils down to reaction time. Keeping your rifle up all the time is a no go. Plus, the way he had his rifle allowed him easier access to his secondary weapon system.
