HEAT - weapons check and shotgun breach

Cool scene. Shotgun: Studi ejects all 00 Buckshot out (red shells). Loads it up with special slugs (blue shells) to blow door hinges off door. Pacino does a 'press check' on his Colt 1911 Officer to make sure a round is chambered. Then Henry Rollins gets owned by Pacino!!!! haha

itsstans75 As I near the end of my life I now look back and wonder? What harm did the criminals ever actually do besides robbery? They didn't hurt anyone until after they got busted during the bank heist. Otherwise they would've peacefully, and happily, sailed off into the sunset with not one injury besides the bank manager who got punched. Waingro massacred the poor innocent policeman in the initial robbery, and they tried to kill him. Had Waingro never entered the film they wouldn't have hurt anyone

@@itsstans75 It was the greatest. No CGI no bullshit special effects, just real gunfire and an exquisitely executed action sequence. I can't imagine what it was like for audiences at the time, since the film picked up slowly at the box office. The gun shots were actually 'scaring' viewers to my understanding. I love the bank heist scene so much because you are nervous rooting for the robbers when Val Kilmer is taking the money out of the vault. Maybe some viewers wanted the cops to win? I can't envision feeling that way? I wanted to see them escape so badly I felt like I was robbing a bank.
