Talk:Generation Kill

In the book, evan wright mentions benelli shotguns being used by officers

Sure but in the series, we don't see any. Did see a shotgun carried by the Iraqi translator.

There is a Major in the series who carries a shotgun with him (Nate Fick's book refers to him as "Major Benelli") though from the looks of it it doesn't look like a Benelli. The PALS webbing on his body armor has shotgun shells stowed in them.

I just finished watching this whole series. I feel that it was a day well spent-S&Wshooter 22:58, 25 November 2009 (UTC)

The quality of the screencaps

Is it just me or are the quality of the screencaps in this page really low quality?-Oliveira 20:05, 6 June 2009 (UTC)

PVS-17 in daylight?

Maybe someone could enlighten me as to why a night sight is shown being used in broad daylight? Spartan198 11:50, 27 December 2009 (UTC)

he switches it of you can see in screewby he switches it one again at night most of the time it isn't shown when he does that, I bet he didn't have another scope to mount so he just used it switched of

the scope can be used during the day or night. If you notice the cover on the lens, it has a small hole in it, this allows a small amount of light into the unit if the cover was removed during the day time it would danage the scope. At night the lens cap is removed .

Actually the scope Colbert uses in the series is just a prop, and doesn't quite look like a AN/PVS-17.

i recently bought the book after watching the series and love them both. in the middle of the book it has a series of pictures in cluding thereal brad colbert with an M4 with M203 and night-vision scope. the same setup his M4 has in the series and many other soldiers have the same setup aswell smish34

Older Teardrop Forward Assists on m4 Carbines?

What's up with that? I don't think Colt ever made m4s with anything but the newer round style forward assist.

- maybe an airsoft replica? i read a discussion on an airsoft board where they claimed they could read Classic Army designations on the guns in some scenes (then there was a flamewar about it...)

M733?

That barrel looks a bit long to be an M733 Excalibur01

I think it is an M733, the picture is low quality which (combined with the motion blur of the scene) makes it hard to distinguish where the barrel ends and the flash hider begins, thus making the barrel appear longer. Then again I'm no expert on AR variants, so take that for what you will. If anyone with a higher quality image (or more knowledge on ARs than I) could confirm/correct the entry, that would be great.--Lynx 23:14, 1 February 2010 (UTC)

Colt Model 733 SMG - 5.56x45mm. It should be noted this is actually an M16A1 upper used to build a mock up of a 733 for films.

Another view of the Marine's Colt 733.

Look at the length of the handguards, it's not a shorty. --Predator20 23:31, 1 February 2010 (UTC)

Okay, anybody have any ideas as to what it is then?--Lynx 21:54, 2 February 2010 (UTC) Hard to say. Barrel length looks longer than a 733, but the handguards look too long to make it a 723. Spartan198 17:53, 3 February 2010 (UTC)

No, look at the forward assist. Its an MGC replica. Spartan198 17:58, 3 February 2010 (UTC)

Good caps, guys

Whoever capped this should be commended. Really good shots, not too many, not too few. They also LOOK really good.-protoAuthor 21:22, 3 February 2010 (UTC)
