Talk:Stranger Things - Season 2

Colt Carbines (Not M16s)

I haven't seen the entire season yet, but that's not an image of an M16A2. Also we need to point out if they are A2, it would be anachronistic Excalibur01 (talk) 02:04, 3 November 2017 (EDT)

Concur that the M16 section is wrong. I did watch the show, and saw zero M16s, and instead only carbines.

They may have been M4s which would be wrong, but at least one looked like it had a properly small diameter barrel to be a Colt 603, or similar.

Some looked like they were very wrong, and had RIS on the front (though it was dark), but they all had carry handles, no scopes or RDS.

The team that went into the tunnels had scope mounts on the carry handle with (unidentified, but maybe D cell Maglight size) flashlights up there, which was a delightfully period correct feature to see.

The carbine used by Hopper in the last episode had some sort of light on the forearm. Placement and light throw reminded me of M500, but it was dark and/or glarey so hard to tell.

In the last episode, it looked like some kind of carbine. Fixed carrying handle, so point for that but it's got a RIS handguard so...point off. The light was just his handlight. Excalibur01 (talk) 13:48, 4 November 2017 (EDT)

Also, was about to deduct a point for having a HUMVEE roll out but the year is 1984, the year it entered service, so that's possible. Excalibur01 (talk) 13:48, 4 November 2017 (EDT)
