What I really like about the film is how correct his CAR-15 rifle is. From the look and layout to the noise it produces. CAR-15s had moderators on their barrels, sort of a cross between a flash hider and a suppressor. It didn’t suppress the noise a great deal and it didn’t fully stop muzzle flash but it worked well enough for both and they did change the sound of the rifle when it was fired so much that when CAR-15s went into the civilian market in the US the ATF freak out stating that the moderators were suppressors and needed to be a regulated item under the NFA and Colt had to pull civilian production to “hollow out” the baffles to be compliant. (ATF sucks)

Love this movie. It tells a great fictional story framed by real events. Characters are well written. The action scene are exquisite. DeCaprio gets most of the soldiering stuff spot on. His gun handling mimics a professional soldier. At least far closer to it than 95% of movies. I had people say his efficient killing is way over the top, but it is not. That is exactly what happens if untrained men get into a gunfigth with trained professionals: They die fast and in great numbers. During my active duty I could eliminate 4 targets on 70m in less than three seconds while moving. Its the same like everything else in life. If you train something again and again and again you reach a level that seems impossible to the people who never put in the effort.

The British told them to end White Rule in both nations. The largest Black parties were Communists, and as history teaches us, Communist agricultural plans + planned economy + the new rulers having double digit IQs would seem to anyone with half a brain like a recepie for disaster.

@@mayureshrasam1708 It didn't break up. The Rhodesian government gave up after the entire world cut them off from outside trade and resources, held a free election to replace the government, and then the British got mad that Mugabe, the communist terrorist, didn't get elected and demanded he be put into office. Rhodesia became Zimbabwe, most of the whites moved to South Africa or overseas if they could manage it (no European country would take them in as refugees), and the entire country went to shit, with money so worthless that it took a stack of $100 trillion bills to buy an egg, everyone starving in a country whose white farmers had fed most of the continent only a few years prior, and Mugabe murdering everyone he didn't like.
