Talk:The End of Evangelion

Regarding the JSSDF's AMX-10RCs and their NF-1 machine guns. In the provided screenshot, the NF-1 is in fact not visible, which raises an almost philosophical question: does it actually appear in the movie if we can't see it? Does the shadowed hole in the mantlet count as an appearance of the firearm, if it's just a representation of the absence of light? And on a more practical level, how do we know it's an NF-1? If it were a real AMX-10RC it would (probably: I don't actually know what's the machine gun on the Moroccan ones) be an NF-1, but this is a depiction of a hypothetical, post-apocalyptic, JSSDF-service AMX-10RC. Replacing coaxial machine guns with the local service machine gun is often done for logistical reasons (like the FN MAGs on Dutch Leopard tanks); so how can we tell that it's an NF-1 and not a Sumitomo Type 62? (Assuming we can even say it exists in the first place...) --Eukie (talk) 16:15, 23 June 2022 (EDT)
