Re: Things I Learned/Realised from Watching War Movies
As was said ...
Every German tank was a Tiger.
Every German fighter was a Messerschmidt.
Every Japanese fighter was a Zero.
The Japanese were dirty fighters because they didn't line up and walk in attack.
Firing from the "hip" is standard.
Endless ammo, in any weapon.
Either P_ss Poor shots, or absolutely amazing.
Bad guys "snicker" when they're shooting.
Sniper always gets shot through his scope. Now they tried this on "Myth Busters", many times, from many ranges, and the (pair or series of "convex" lenses) always deflected the round, and prevented it from going straight through.
I know Carlos Hathcock (Marine Sniper) said he did it,....I don't doubt he got him, but I do doubt (the bullet) went in one end of the scope and out the other.
I have a video about Kursk and a Russian is being interviewed. He says something simple yet profound..."Death does not always look you in the eye. Sometimes it comes from behind, or crashing down from above."
