My dad told me that when firing your weapon...That you had to take into account.. Wind,distance,and the rotation of the earth. That seems like alot to take in..Then i watched a History Channel video of an army sniper taking out a mortar team..and i thought "Oh that makes sense now". There is so much to take in👍

[@CrackerJack-uv1nx]

Since “Memorial Day” is coming soon you two Yokels should watch the movie “Memorial Day” (starring James Cromwell) which compares the memories of the grandfather in Operation Market Garden to the grandson’s experience in Fallujah.

You guys are outstanding AF. I really appreciate all of your knowledge on procedures. I was in the Navy back in the eighties. The way you guys interact is a nice memory of how we used. I'm wondering if you guys could check out a movie titled The Wild Geese. It's based on a book about mercenaries in Africa back in the seventies. I will say, thanks for what you have done, and what you are doing now.💯⚓🇺🇲🇺🇲

[@austinporter4285]

The rebuilding the wall part was hilarious i just personally wish they would draw this out for some episodes and make lomg form content especially for shows with as many not so accurate but good scenes, like the one where he out either flash powder or gun powder in the light bulbs would be a cool discussion because flash powder would detonate from the bulb but gun powder would have to be pretty sensitized to go off like that but im sure they dont wanna get into to the specifics of what they know which would be a lot more than me.

Hey guys, you gotta send the guys that build the walls for Frank some t-shirts that say's "I'm making them at night" 🤣🤣🤣

[@officialghosty4207]

The way i understood the black out scene was, he cuts the lights and fires a shot to kill one and scare the rest into firing their weapons, and since the lights are off and these "gangsters" werent properly trained for fire fight situations, basically just dropped each other while punisher hid, then the lights cut back on leaving a 1v1 against the head guy for the punisher

Damn its a bearing Wall. That building is coming Down. He’s punishing that Wall 🤣🤣

[@nero786]

I laughed my butt off even thought in a project they may take down wall down to expand an existing room as long as the bearing points are intact it passes code. but for the sake of the movie the focus here was him releasing his rage to keep honest at bay when his is not operating. and it vaguely shows what a boss would like. So I would not fire him I would just give him bonus and make him sign a waiver lol

[@WordToMomsYo]

We used to tape the 40s to our hands in the 90's (as exceedingly stupid and reckless teenagers), and the choice of beverage was almost always Olde English malt liquor. I'm absolutely certain I knocked a year or two off my lifespan as a result of said exploits. That said, I'm proud of y'all... Good to see you still have that resilience and strength (and, arguably, self-destruction/stupidity) coursing through your veins.

[@KillMonger592]

I think the context of the end scene is that he shot out the light then shot 1 guy to get him to shoot at his buddies out of panick n then pick them off thru their muzzle flash
