THE HURT LOCKER Clip - "What Are We Shooting At" (2008) War

[@sanghoonlee5171]

When I first saw this scene, I thought to myself 'That dude in head towel sure looks a lot like Ralph Fiennes.' He must have spent a week in the desert for this "cameo."

[@liamregan4975]

I was literally just about to make this comment. Not sure if his name but the British guy that was spotting for him is also a pretty good actor himself. I always forget Guy Pearce is in this too.

When you’ve hit a guy with a .50cal you don’t need to check if he’s going to get up again. He’s not.

@@YankeeVatnik1917 thank you for your service brother. Seems like the vast majority of war movies cannot get it right. As long as it fills the studios pockets they don’t care sadly. We need more platoons, jarheads, etc.

[@ronarnold1507]

@@YankeeVatnik1917 Very unrealistic. And yet... very compelling. Watching it just as a character study of the main character played by Renner, it's pretty awesome.

I feel like this is the scene in a movie that people watch and think they learned something.

[@brandonhallam51]

Whats funny is this gunfight is exactly what happens to 6 man teams just hanging out in mw2 dmz.

[@jacobgill4808]

I like how nobody renders Medical Aid to anyone 50 is down don't go check on him or anything

[@mar71n32n0v1lLL0]

Not in the military, but as far as I've read, that's exactly what the sniper is expecting. Even is he *was* shooting to kill and not to wound, any brave (and foolish) friend of an already downed soldier would become the next target the moment they ran out of cover, since to reach both of the downed ones in that particular scenario would require them to run into the open. I'm pretty sure military doctrine states that unless the one hit falls into cover by chance, one shouldn't move to get them until the sniper is dealt with, because you become his next meal otherwise. Next thing you know, there are two or more wounded/dead in the open, the first target and those who tried to play hero and help him.

[@saml6223]

I mean, there's a lot of inaccuracies in this movie. But that isn't one of them. The general rule or thumb is - "stop the killing, then stop the dying". Only once you know the area is secured enough, then should medical aid be rendered. Otherwise you're just going to have far more casualties. Source: Personal experience. 12 year army vet.

My favorite part is when the high speed guys were insta killed when the magic bullets went through their plates because body armor doesn't stop bullets when you don't have plot armor.

[@zachwright1819]

my mostly uneducated guess is that the rifle the bad guy was firing would be some kind of 7.62. many variants of which will pretty much ignore almost any wearable body armor

[@chrisd7803]

@@zachwright1819 correct guess. The rifle was an SVD, which fires 7,62x54R

[@urlawyer]

@@zachwright1819 Never heard of Level IV plates, eh?

[@zachwright1819]

@@urlawyer Could have sworn I said “almost any wearable body armour”. The word “almost” in that sentence modifies the word “any”. Also a quick google shows that it’s quite plausible that a round fired from that rifle could penetrate level four plates. Hard to find anything concrete though, but i’m sure you could figure it out just with how much energy the bullet has in J and whatever the plate is rated to stop

[@urlawyer]

@@zachwright1819 If you think Level IV body armor is uncommon in a war zone you’re kinda crazy.

[@mrdynamic8678]

When a 7.62 SVD outshoots a .50 Barrett, I don’t think so😮

[@JBliehall]

It CERTAINLY depends on who is behind each weapon....

[@rudolfvonstrohhalm6948]

Can and will. Raw muzzle energy alone doesn't magically make you hit better.

[@randomlygeneratedname]

Calibre doesn't equal accuracy. Just because pound for pound the fifty cal will be more likely to kill you doesn't mean anything if you miss

[@Quarter324]

The enemy sniper's tactics bother me. Like, he rotates between windows but you don't have to pop half of your body out of it to shoot - you're just exposing yourself more if you do that. Also, Chris really fucked up here. Like, they could have driven closer or waited until they confirmed the sniper's position, then hammer that building and turn it into dust with the Browning.

[@BonnKialStevens]
