Movies with the best and most accurate gunfights

[actaeon277]

That scene never happened, was simply done for drama. Anyone that really got into the movie I HIGHLY recommend the book. I want to nominate a movie for WORST gun play as I just saw it again yesterday... Commando. Simply terrible.

That describes any Arnold movie.

I love both of them as well, along with Tombstone. My favorite 3. I think my favorite classic western is Once Upon A Time In The West.

Yours and mine both.
OUaTitW is a flat out masterpiece.

Frank: Surprised to see me here?
Harmonica: I knew you'd come.
Frank: Morton once told me I could never be like him. Now I understand why. Wouldn't have bothered him, knowing you were around somewhere alive.
Harmonica: So you found out you're not a businessman after all?
Frank: Just a man.
Harmonica: An ancient race.

Laugh if you want to but FORREST GUMP (Vietnam Jungle scene) is very real, there you are one minute and "BOOM" $#!+ happens, and you react properly or die if its your time to die.

"The Wind and the Lion". The scenes with the Marines were good enough that the Marine Corps liaison to the now defunct Joint Forces Command ran them to explain Marines to the other services...

In the opening scenes the Brit dies because he didn't have a reload for his Webley. The movie was commended by Guns and Ammo as being the most period correct for weapons. And it's a good movie.

You're thinking of the final battle scene from "We Were Soldiers."
An excellent movie, packed full of battlefield authenticity.

Yup, how could I forget that. I read the book and watched the movie a couple of times. Thanks.

Well, it was directed by Milius...and it was a movie not a documentary...but the rest remains.

Sorry..I wasn't clear...John Milius wrote "The Wind and the Lion" and is a board member of the NRA....I just wanted you to know there was a cool documentary and it has some cool stuff about the making of "The Wind and the Lion..."

 

[Thor]

Ah, thanks...sorry I conflated that with some of the earlier comments on Arnold movies and the trailer started out with a shot of Arnold...I have not seen that documentary, I'll have to give it a gander.

I love that show. First season had Andrew Lincoln from The Walking Dead. It was before Cinemax took it over. Loved the show, didn't need all the sex scenes... The show did teach me that the AK platform could have bolt hold open. None of mine do. Thought it was funny when they went thru a period where one or the other got shot or beat to hell in each episode.

Those weren't AKs. They were SA Vz.58

Fury!!!!

Fury was awesome. Using one of the only working Tigers in existence was a huge plus....

I'm trying to remember, but I think there were a couple of scenes where they used AK's, but I could be wrong. But they definitely made heavy use of the VZ 58, which is awesome.

Fury...not for a tank guy. The tanks looked great but the tactics used were WWI infantry tank style. Hey, I've got a great idea! Let's all line up beside each other and drive across this open field at a walking pace! What could go wrong?

Enemy at the Gates, great sniper scenes. Way of the Gun, nice tactical scenes for 2 guys.
