[@davesaints8023]

Yes, you can tell the difference in between firearms being fired. Rifles, handguns and shotguns make different sounds. Also, fun fact, U.S. Marshals do not answer to the DEA. U.S. Marshall’s do not answer to anyone when doing prisoner transport. That’s one of the main jobs of the Marshalls. I get it is a Seagal movie, so everything will be wrong 😆 Great video!!

[@WestMountainClunkers]

I suppose if someone cared enough to attempt to pay attention and differentiate the sound of a handgun vs rifle vs shotgun, they probably could. Although he said he heard m4s....he might be able to hear a rifle but it would be nearly impossible to tell the type of rifle that is being shot in a closed corridor or room. Lol not to mention, unless I missed it, I didnt see a single bad guy with an m4. They all had subguns that looked like Uzis and AKMs. So he was wrong either way.

[@fabianf.3347]

It‘s also possible to tell the diffrence between a 556 rifle and a 7.62 rifle when you heard both some times. :)

[@szasstam204]

Different calibers have distinct reports. So while you cant tell the difference between an M4 and M16, you can between an M4 and ak47 or M14

[@WestMountainClunkers]

@@szasstam204 maybe if they are shooting back to back, but this guy is in a parking garage. If he heard a rifle shot, its either going to be really muffled if its in a different part of the building or its going to be ridiculously loud by echoing and reverberating off the walls if its in the same room. If someone fired a single shot of a single gun, your not going to be able to tell if its 5.56 or 7.62.

[@aidensidk3273]

Exactly, the type of round is distinguishable not necessarily the firearm

[@thedtvdigest4142]

That clip you show of Seagal standing up...he actually WOBBLES like he's made of jelly lol.

[@alannurse7453]

Some guns u are able to tell the make based on the sound. Or sometimes u can assume the caliber based on the sound the round makes when discharged.

[@chloeallen3858]

You can not only determine the size of the gun from the register, but also depending on the characteristics of the rate of fire and the echo, you can also tell family (AR, AK, FN, etc)

[@BalkanRedneck]

Why is Segal wearing two watches in the interrogation scenes? Is it because he's reached such a level of Zen that he's able to see in both the past and future? Or does he take so many lunch breaks he needs two watches to keep track of them?

[@alannurse7453]

This dude plays the same character in every movie. Pretty amazing that a great tactical man like Seagal needs a body double to do a breathing scene. And it's hilarious that all his love scenes involves him being fully clothed with his shades on.

[@Mark-uh4zd]

That’s friggin hilarious, the woman is always naked or pretty much naked and he has that stupid big ass black coat on, pants, and I think even those stupid yellow tinted sunglasses. Does he even get hit once in any of these movies? He completely wrecks every henchman and boss sent his way, but I don’t remember in any of these movies him getting hit once. He’s always some uber badass super special ops dude. I remember when they had a stunt double getting up from a bed in one movie, and in another, they had a stuntman climb stairs. What a fat POS

[@Dan-di9jd]

I think him having to wear his clothing is more so to protect the woman from seeing such horrible things.

[@wimvanderstraeten6521]

One of the funniest things about Seagal is the fact that the expression on his face never changes. He's completely incapable of expressing any emotion. His "acting" is so terrible that he makes Chuck Norris look like Laurence Olivier by comparison.

[@A_Toastonawhiteplate]

I think that is his understanding of beeing masculine...

[@Angry-Lynx]

good point about Norris why he so popular hes pretty sshitty actor ;

[@hanchiman]

One thing for sure, Chuck Norris at least have genuine humour and did a pretty likeable side character in the movie Sidekick for children

[@nonapplicable8817]

Someone pointed out that if he had any shred of self awareness and humility, the guy could be a good comedian. He has that deadpan expression down. Imagine Leslie Nielsen except not even close.

[@doublep1980]

Couple of things: imagine being one of the greatest MMA fighters in UFC history and played a frikin' MCU villain that could throw it down with Capt. America and having to shoot a ''fight scene'' like this with Sensei Seagal (or rather his body double). Seriously, that was pathetic even for Seagal standards, as far as fight scenes go.... I hope Georges St. Pierre got at least a good pay check, he seems like a chill dude in real life and definetely deserves better that this. On the subject of differentiating firearms from how they sound: yes, that is possible if you have lots of experience with guns. A pistol sounds very different from a military type rifle for example. You can theoretically even tell an AK apart from a M4/M16, because the AK has a slower rate of fire in full-auto but a higher caliber.(well, the classic AK-47/AKM ) Why is Luke Goss' character a ''Major'' if he's supposed to be an US Marshall?! The US Marshall Service is a civilian, law enforcement agency *NOT* part of the US Military. They have ranks like ''Deputy Marshall'' for example. They do protect high profile witnesses though and are in charge of the Witness Protection Program, that is correct and like to recruit former Military guys (specially from Special Forces) because they also do protection for US Diplomats & diplomatic missions, overseas. Their main ''job'' though, is to hunt down federal fugitives. (Remember Tommy Lee Jones, hunting Harrison Ford in ''The Fugitive''?) Also, the bad guy just gets away in the end and that's it?! That's how the movie ends, WTF?!

[@RedEyeReviews]

I agree. I loved GSP during his fighting career. But thank you for all the notes and details. The gun thing is still crazy that people can tell the difference. But I guess when your job is being around gun fire alot it makes sense. Lol it didn't dawn on me the Manor thing. That is too funny.

[@doublep1980]

@@RedEyeReviews Also, if you look closely at the uniforms: Luke Goss' uniform has an ''US Marshalls'' patch, while the girl on the team has an ''US Army'' patch on hers, despite being supposedly the same unit! And in another scene, they have both ''US Army'' patches on their uniforms!

He's doing pretty well I think in being cast as Batrok in the MCU movies Captain America etc. He really shines actually. In the second Captain America movie a normal dude quite convincingly challenges Captain America - the Cap being a super soldier with strength and speed that eclipses any human. GSP as Batrok actually forces him to slow down

[@MK-lk7nc]

Steven Seagal can actually SMELL a gun's caliber from 100 yards. It's amazing.

[@RedEyeReviews]

I believe it lol

[@PowermadNavigator]

Guess I am late with this, yeah, you say that you don't know anything about guns, but you like chess so that's good enough. I mean, you know what a pump-action shotgun sounds like right? Well, there are lever actions and bolt actions too. Means you gotta pull and push stuff to load after firing and you can distinctly hear those things. Sure, you might not be able to tell some tiny differences, but prolly won't matter. If people are shooting at each other in the same room or large reception, you prolly won't tell the difference between an M4, AKM, Tavor, FAL etc, you'd prolly just go deaf. But you could tell the difference between a pistol that doesn't have an automatic fire setting, and if somebody has a pump shotgun. If that's what this guy in the movie meant, he was mostly right. If he meant that he can always tell the difference between an AK and an AR15 or a UMP and an MP5 or a Glock and a C96, yeah... yeah, I gotta see that. I really gotta.

[@MONO4608]

I’m actually surprised they let GSP land a blow on Seagal. In every movie he’s in he’s practically untouchable and unbeatable lmao

[@RedEyeReviews]

Right?! It's rare to see him get hit. He has only ever died twice. And both times he killed himself lol

Sicario day of the burritos Written, directed and nonchalantly played by Steven Seagal San

[@dragonstormdipro1013]

You kinda can differentiate between the sounds of guns but there's a lots of ifs and buts. A pistol and a rifle's sound is fairly distinct, and you can "kinda" differentiate between an AK or an M4 by it’s report- I know that in US military they do emphasis on recognising on the sound of the weapon. However, in other places, like Indian military, this practice is looked down upon.

[@RedEyeReviews]

That's good to know. I knew it seemed far fetched

[@seamusperkins2526]

True. But hearing rifle fire, you're not gonna be able to pin down the rifle that specifically. An m4 sounds like an m16 sounds like an HK. Same with the AKs. If he just said "i think i heard rifles" or "i think i heard MGs" , it works.

[@canyonfox45thisismygoodsid68]

Hmm,You mean India? That sounds odd to my western sensibilities. What's their reasoning behind that,if you can elaborate? I just wouldn't have thought anyone, anywhere would not want to read those lips you know?

[@dragonstormdipro1013]

@@canyonfox45thisismygoodsid68 That's because I am Indian. And that tactic is frowned upon because we and the forces we fight against (Be it Pakistani armed forces or various terrorist or communist groups) often use same type of Kalashnikov pattern rifles or SLRs. Making battlefield assessments based on weapon report would lead to disaster here.

[@Tekisasubakani]

@@seamusperkins2526 Caliber, barrel length, the type of gunpowder in the rounds...there are a lot of factors, but I totally agree that you can tell the difference between a handgun, a rifle and a shotgun if you have spent any time around/handling firearms or on the range.

[@masungayongiro]

Pretty sure you are not gonna run out of seagal movies any time soon. But I do notice him trying to become a tactical sensei somehow. But geez that grip on the knife is tenous...I should know, almost got a self stab by holding a knife wrong

[@Will-md1vo]

You can normally tell the difference between some calibers like .22lr and 9mm easily, but when you get into rifle calibers or larger pistol calibers it gets much more difficult. Pistol caliber=bang Rifle caliber =FUCKING BANG

[@RedEyeReviews]

Lol. So if I ever hear a gun shot. I'll just report it as a "bang, Bang, Fucking BANG". Lol this is the best answer yet.

[@TomatoJoe11]

I know you’re not a military guy (and neither am I, but I know a thing or two) and one of the annoying parts of the movie just from these clips, is just how obviously fake the body armor is, and how little effort they put into the costume design. The Body armor in the movie (and real life) is a bullet proof/resistant plate loaded into a vest, called a plate carrier. On the plate carriers, there’s MOLLE webbing, onto which you can attach various items depending on the mission. But throughout the movie, the plate carriers are just bare. You mean to tell me no one wanted to attach spare magazines/radio/handcuffs/flashlights/medical kits to their body armor for escorting this “high value target”? Also they just look boring, add some flair to their costume.

[@mikehawkswollen5819]

Seems like the only time Steven Seagal doesn't use a stunt double is when he is sitting

[@SolarPhantomHD]

Realistically, you can make educated guesses on the type of gun… but it’s not that simple. Every caliber sounds a bit different, the length of the barrel on the gun can change the sound, and M4’s can have different Barrels. And for example you’d never be able to the difference between a 9mm Glock 19 or a 9mm Sig P320. Both 9mm handguns. So could’ve been any 5.56 rifle…

[@RedEyeReviews]

Hmmm. So it's more ammo type you can hear

[@SolarPhantomHD]

@@RedEyeReviews exactly. And the 5.56 round is used by many different guns.. just no way to realistically tell it’s an M4. Closest you could tell by sound is MAYBE shotgun vs handgun vs rifle.

This sort of mostly out of the field high ranking officer seems like the type of roles that he should have pivoted to at least a decade earlier, they could even still work in a small number of action scenes with him when things go wrong either at HQ or in the field. Though he still seems stuck in wanting to be the master of everything point man, and unwilling to actually explore the space of not being able to do everything you could in the past.

[@broseffman]

As a second comment - Yes, anyone familiar enough with firing an AR platform rifle would be able to (circumstantially) tell the sound of it. Especially compared to the sound of an AK, which ironically seems to be the most commonly featured firearm in the movie.

I know the firearm thing kinda got beat to death, but a neat anecdote about identifying weapon sounds: Back in the Vietnam war, special units of US/Allied personnel would use specially modified M16's that were shortened down with a special flash hider that modulated the sound to mimick the sound of an AK, to confuse enemy forces if they had to fight. So not only can firearms be distinctly identifiable, but we've had sound spoofing in warfare.

[@RedEyeReviews]

Oh now THATS cool. Was this to trick them into thinking they were fighting against a more "capable" gun?

[@Taytayflan]

@@RedEyeReviews Less whether the gun was more capable or not, more "are those friendly forces that are shooting?" So if one of these units got in a gunfight with an enemy, the enemy force might think they accidentally started shooting at friendlies, or a patrolling force wouldn't immediately know who to go engage. The thought would come up "why didn't they just use AK's? for that," but militaries have supply chains to manage and manuals-of-arms to train their soldiers. Modified M16's made more sense for these special units to field since it's a system they're familiar with and an ammunition supply chain they were already using, so the official gun was the XM177. Of note, these units are always outnumbered, doing very dangerous and government denied black ops in enemy territory. The helicopters that would bring them into their target areas would do 4 fake landings for every real one and shit like that. This is why Steven Seagal steals these guys stories. There's a bunch of weird, contextually cool stuff special ops has done since WWII.

[@halflifediehard]

I've been in the Army for some years and yes you can tell the difference between guns by gun fire. It is never an exact science but think of it like being able to tell the difference between string tunings on a guitar. A good example is different kinds of rifles use different caliber rounds, like an AK-47 (7.62 x 39mm) sounds a lot different a M4 carbine (5.56 x 45mm). Actually in field training the army teaches you to listen for certain kind of gun fire because that can help you understand what kind of fight force you are dealing with.

Thank you thank you!

[@MattC78]

Just watch the movie Platoon. You can tell the difference between the sound of the AK-47''s, and the M-16's, so I would say there is a variation with the sounds with every gun. With the exception of a few. In the movie Jackie Brown with the scene with Chicks with Guns, you can tell a difference in sound on the different guns too, but the AK has a distinct pop.

[@tunedskillsz]

Dude seriously how many movies has seagal made in the past decade? He makes like 5 a year.

[@RedEyeReviews]

I think in 2016 he made 4?

[@DieselMcBadass1]

Segal is a very funny walking meme.

[@seamusperkins2526]

No, you cannot hear a type of gun. To a trained ear, caliber, yes. Some rifles have a distinct automatic fire pattern or burst fire pattern, but again, essentially just no.

[@seamusperkins2526]

Though i should mention the obvious; If a gun is a rifle, MMG, pistol, yeah they sound different. But you're not gonna hear semi automatic rifle fire and just know its a fucking M4

[@ScreechingPossum]

Been binge watching your videos; get recommended Ralph's video of Cartel's last night, and then yours comes out today...the algorithm never sleeps (his was more focused on...'dissecting' Seagal and I appreciate that I actually can understand what happened in the movie with yours) As for the firearm noises, someone may disagree, but the "M4" kind of seems generic; at least compared to something like an AK (fires slower; the receiver makes a distinct 'ka-chunk' as it cycles). It may be giving the movie too much credit, but maybe you could tell from the rate of fire versus something like a pistol, shotgun or other rifle...maybe?

[@RedEyeReviews]

So glad you found the channel. What weird timing with Ralph's channel as well lol. So glad you enjoyed the video though :)

[@therealdestructicus]

I'm not sure if through walls you'd be able to specifically tell an M4 apart from other NATO weapons, but some weapons are very unique in their sounds and cadence, specifically the AK47/AKM pattern rifles, they were so distinct, in Vietnam certain special forces units used devices to make their M16s sound like an AKM when operating behind enemy lines to not draw attention. But again, could you tell the difference between like an M4, Hk 416, or a G36? Probably not, they are 5.56, similar barrel length, similar muzzle devices, at a similar fire rate, then you get into the technicalities of say, an M16, M4, mark 18, bloc 2, SR 15, are all technically different military weapons, but all built on the base AR15 receiver type, same BCG, same gas system, etc.

[@blytheguy7510]

I don't know how many times I've seen Seagal switch hands with guns so casually. It's very rare that you get an ambidextrous shooter. Probably why he pretends to do so on film. He handles his guns as good as his weight. Lol

[@DrExeCelticHeroes]

Yeah still on my marathon

[@canyonfox45thisismygoodsid68]

No you can totally tell the difference between caliber's and the type of firearm that's being used. Unless a suppressor is being used, lot of times that also increases the cyclic rate. In Vietnam our boy's had a type of muzzle device they put on their M-16's that made them sound like the AK's that charlie used. So they thought it was them shooting at American's,but it was us ambushing them.

[@michaeldublg]

Hey! Redeye, these videos are awesome and to answer your question, can you tell the different types of guns by the sounds they make, yes and no .... For example, an AK-47 is very distinctive. Of course you can tell a shotgun from a rifle, that sort of thing.

Poor GSP not only does he have to do the job too big old Steven, he has to star in this after starring in the "Captain America:Winter Soldier", I guess you have to do something between that and "Falcon in the Winter Soldier". Fun review like always!

[@nightshade7240]

I have never had to suspend my disbelief harder than the idea that Seagal could beat GSP. Even at Seagull's svelte best, GSP would break every bone in his body. What the actual hell? Oh and apparently you don't have to be able to project toughness, you just have to say fucking a lot like that kid in high school who thought he was top shit but would piss himself at the thought of fighting anyone.

[@fmjmanarroyo1342]

Indoors is harder to tell what kind of report a gun makes. Sounds carry differently and the concussion can cause permanent hearing damage. In the field its easier to tell weapons apart so long as the enemie or friendlies are somewhat standardized in equipment. You won't be able to tell apart say the difference between a Vz58 and an AKM for example but the rate of fire could tell you that a weapon could be a general purpose machine gun like a PKM VS a DShK that is usually vehicle mounted.

[@broseffman]

The fact that so many of them have on MOLLE, but nothing webbed on it is hilarious. And the "US ARMY" stitched into the tshirts is fucking A+.

[@ploopyman806]

Yes and no to the fire arms noise. You can tell the sounds from a rifle or a shotgun but you can’t tell what type it is. You can have two AK type rifles that can sound different cus of mods, different barrel length or calibers. Or you can have an m4 and a styr AUG and you can’t tell the difference cus they both shoot 5.56

Different guns fire at different cyclic rates, with different ammo types, and yes, although loud, you can easily tell the difference between say, an m4 vs an ak, or mp5 or nearly any lmg is going to make an impression.

You may trouble identifying the type of rifle, except for AKs, but you could tell its probably a 556.

[@tinsoldier5621]

Yes you can identify guns and calibers by sound. And grenades aren't nuclear. Why doesn't anyone ever mention how segal waddles?

[@AmityvilleFan]

You CAN recognise certain very common weapons just by sound.

[@maxpower5205]

Actually, the major difference between firearms sounds is their caliber. The bigger the bullet, the louder the bang. Barrel length can also change how loud a gun is. Shorter barreled guns tend to be louder as the bullet leaves the barrel while the powder combustion process is still ongoing. This usually happens on weapons equipped with a shorter barrel than the bullet they are firing was designed for.(Short barreled ARs or revolver) Some guns also have a mechanism that makes a very specific sound when cycling (M-60 machinegun) that you can actually still hear over the gunfire sound. Those kind of weapons could be identified just by listening to the sound they make yes. Semi or single shot weapon would be very hard to tell apart but when it comes to automatic weapons, because there is such a wide range of rates of fire, the very low or very high ones could be identified by sound since there are few weapons with a similar ROF and/or caliber.

[@ArizonaJoeHines]

To my ears, an M-16 goes "bang" when fired, an AK47 goes "crack."

[@benjaminolson7206]

Steven reaches over and "turns off" a camera that, back in the wide shot, is not actually within his reach. Thus he would have had to get up, thus he almost certainly had a stand in handle the camera.
