P.S. Thanks Orca for fixing the tank I.D.s. btw, what makes him using the M60E3 wrong? I don't think the M240 was issued yet and their are indeed two hatches for two gunners. | P.S.

:::In this instance, the [[M60 machine gun]] would be erroneous as the Loader's hatch on the real Abrams is already fitted with an [[FN MAG#M240 Machine Gun|M240]]. As I mentioned on GM's page, no versions of the Abrams have ever had an M60 installed on them, so the Loader having an M60E3 at the ready would be incorrect. I'm not trying to start any fights, just pointing out a goof in the film.[[User:Orca1 9904|Orca1 9904]] 08:32, 28 October 2008 (UTC)Orca1_9904 | :::In this instance, the [[M60 machine gun]] would be erroneous as the Loader's hatch on the real Abrams is already fitted with an [[FN MAG#M240 Machine Gun|M240]].

::ORCA, You're right. 240s were the guns next to the .50s on the top of the M1A1s. I never really thought about it since we used the M60 still in the 80s and early 90s, but I asked a Armored Div. buddy from the Gulf and he confirmed what you said. No fights here :) Arggh. Even my memory is fading! | ::ORCA, You're right. 240s were the guns next to the .50s on the top of the M1A1s.

Revision as of 17:11, 28 October 2008
I'll try to buy this movie sometime this month to screencap it. I saw it one HBO at my uncle's house and I gotta screen it ASAP. P.S. Thanks to the anonymous user who deleted my comment. -GM
- I GOT IT! Have it on this week. -GM
- I know this isn't terribly relevant for the purposes of this site, but...I thought this movie sucked. -MT2008
- I think it was okay at best. It was based on a true story so I give it the respect it deserves. It was originally a book written by Anthony Swofferd, who is the main character in the movie. I just finished screening the movie, I'll have it on soon. -GM
- Yeah, but in the hands of Sam Mendes (one of the most liberal directors working in Hollywood...no small feat!), it becomes essentially an anti-war, anti-military movie. Not that I'm saying you shouldn't screencap it (plenty of people I know, including some enlisted GIs, liked it), just saying that's how I felt. -MT2008
- I don't know about anti-military but I don't think I've ever seen a pro war movie. Some stuff has come up, I'll have to add the shots tommorow. -GM
- How's it look? Did I get everything right? I'm not a helicopter or tank pro so I may have goofed in that field. -GM
P.S. Thanks Orca for fixing the tank I.D.s. btw, what makes him using the M60E3 wrong? I don't think the M240 was issued yet and their are indeed two hatches for two gunners.
- In this instance, the M60 machine gun would be erroneous as the Loader's hatch on the real Abrams is already fitted with an M240. As I mentioned on GM's page, no versions of the Abrams have ever had an M60 installed on them, so the Loader having an M60E3 at the ready would be incorrect.

- ORCA, You're right. 240s were the guns next to the .50s on the top of the M1A1s. I never really thought about it since we used the M60 still in the 80s and early 90s, but I asked a Armored Div. buddy from the Gulf and he confirmed what you said. No fights here :) Arggh. Even my memory is fading!
