Way of the Gun - Realistic [FOR A MOVIE] room clearing and tactics

Some realistic room clearing and tactics. From the muzzle awareness/partner awareness to the handling of the weapons to going from primary to secondary weapons... i love the scene where Benicio is "feel checking" for a fresh mag for his Galil. His eyes are scanning vs looking down. When he realizes he has no more mags he detaches his Galil from his tactical sling and at the same time draws his 1911.

Christopher McQuarrie's brother, a US Navy SEAL, was technical advisor for the gunfight scenes, hence the realism of the coordinated movements, use of cover, and room-clearing tactics used by Parker and Longbaugh.

@sniperRobert lol people are upvoting this crap . Trigger discipline is displayed in abundance in this movie. There was no scope for accidental trigger pull there. @1:03 That was the only door on that side. It was instinctive. Adding sniper in front of your name somehow doesn't qualify you to be an expert on live combat, especially when you spew crap like this.

Oh and @ 1:14 It is quite realstic given that the galils bullets pierced the mud wall easily. it might not have been a bright idea.

You know what's the single most realistic thing about the scene? Everything is professional, crisp, and well timed... until the shooting starts. Then everything goes to bullet spraying and trying not to be an easy target. That, is true realism.

@lptomtom Galils hold 5 more than is typical for their chambering. Usual cap for .223 rifles is 30, Galils for whatever reason hold 35, and the .308s like Benicio is using hold 25, rather than the usual FAL/G3/AR-10/M14 standard of 20. It's hard to get a good round count from the hallway to the bed, but I roughly counted 26 from the bed magazine change to empty on his last mag.

anyone else catch phillipe use his firing hand for a shoulder squeeze? all in all a very sound scene, very realistic.

I love when the two dudes stick their pistols around the corner and Del Toro gets that "oh shit" face and starts laying it down.

anybody talking about "fire discipline" in that situation has no experience in real life.

and from a tactical analysis, he did the right thing: gained fire superiority and drove the threat from their cover.

Looks like a lot of rounds from a single Galil mag...

I love the scene when Robin unleashes that howling scream, ("We're going to take out your baby now") and the scene changes and we see Parker and Longbaugh have arrived, loaded for bear, to rescue(?) her. And it's ambiguous too, since their motivations with Robin have changed since the beginning of the film. i. e at the end when Longbaugh says "She's had enough, man" and they leave her in the care of Dr. Painter.

what is that shotgun called anyone know?

God I love McQuarrie's writing and I love everyone in this movie, I always thought it was seriously underrated, this amount of originality is often polarizing though.
