Airsoft Doesn't Sleep (Off-topic MADNESS!!) Mod warning in post #1

Its science fiction... for film purposes, that 'look' is probably a shotgun.

god bless airsofters and picking apart fiction... :P

Speaking of films.

Face off was on last night and in the part where they are chasing each other in boats, travolta fires at a police boat with a pistol but the hits and rate of fire is like a mini gun.

Funny though, in inception , a scar makes an appearance.

You mean the mp5k he fired at the police boat?

Yip - I remember doing a bit of a dig about that stuff one day when I was bored - naturally not at work you understand...
Most commonly accepted version is of the G2 Intelligence section of the PDF together with C3 section of AGS as mentioned in the link.
I'm not sure about spying in Ireland in the last 30 years, but I did a lot of research (don't ask...) on spying in Ireland during the 2nd World War (which, we in our infinite ability for understatement, call The Emergency). The bones of our modern intelligence services were formed in the same way as those in the US and UK - through dealing with the war and the espionage that came about as a result.
The Germans operated quite a few operations here - but most were pitifuly amateur and practically useless. The Abwehr seemed to be sold on the claims of charlatans and assorted muppets who said they could come back here and enlist the help of the IRA and government forces united (yes - they thought this would be totally cool - if you don't know why this wouldn't have made sense in 1940s Ireland - go google it!) to fight the English. Complete toss!

As for modern age spying - not a clue apart from what was linked to, at least in terms of our own services. But given my family background (silly number of family and extended family in AGS, PDF and Other Forces over the years) I have quite a few first hand stories of 'shenanigans' going on over here (most from the 1980s) and I'd readily accept that there are times when Ireland gets sucked into the orbit of international concerns and these times generally lead to an increase in 'goings on' (again, Irish understatement for espionage!).

Its a film... I was watching the plot, and enjoying it, rather than over analysing it.

It was an mp5k in his hand, that he shot them with, its a full auto smp, thats all that really matters in fiction isnt it?

I pole-vaulted over two buildings in HRTA firing M4s from each hand, spewing tracers at everyone who got in my way. Every guy I hit stood back up after being hit and revealed themselves to be immortal.

That's a pretty boring dream, most people don't dream about things that happen every day :-P

The real discussion should be around whether or not Equilibrium or Face/Off are actually entertaining (err, no...) rather than whether or not "man, that was sooooo unrealistic". Usually a crap film will get on my nerves more for being a crap film than for using the wrong calibre mags in the wrong gun etc... :rolleyes:

Not to mention the fact that people are nitpicking about guns, in a film where a man gets his face and voice swapped...

Methy-lookin' Nicolas Cage =/= Big Fat John Travolta.

I once worked with a guy who refused point blank to go to see a movie ( this was before broadband and movie downloading were common - yes, I'm old) unless it was either a true story or had some deep and meaningful message about the human condition or some such other bollocks

You've met me, right? Do you honestly think I care how other people feel enough to watch a movie about it? Pff. People are predictable idiots. If I want a heartfelt true story I'll watch an Attenborough documentary.

Like I said, predictable idiots.

Hello Dear,

I am contacting you with a heavy heart because of the latest ugly developments in my country Cote d'Ivoire.

<snip>

I shall give you more comprehensive details of this transaction if I receive your favorable response as quickly as possible

Private email: vanessag2011@yahoo.co.jp

My regards
Vanessa Gustave

sounds like it should be in the The Rionegro Mandate

Funnily enough some of the "press releases" I have been posting are re-written from events around Cote d'Ivorie.

There might be a character idea in there for a civilian player though.
