[Kjellern150]

@Code1322 Yes it can. But its not allowed.

[Groningen1954]

How did you made that marvellous effect of firing guns in the film?

[Kjellern150]

@Groningen1954 It is made out of muzzleflash effects, and Premiere pro CS3. Luma key, and greenscreen.

6:00 big wrenches! 6:55, that's the door/platform they would pass powder cartridges through from the powder room.

[Lumpyone]

You'll notice the support rails go 360 degrees around the bunker...they took the lessons of Singapore and guns that could not be turned around, to heart.
