Tracers move too fast

Here is a tracer firefight in real life , they move alot slower.

tried posting a video. Along with everything in the game , the forums seem broken too. What a surprise.....

Damn good spot you found here.

:p

"The 2006 UK DVD sleeve states that the guns in the film were often loaded with live ammunition as opposed to blanks, for realism. Aleksei Kravchenko mentions in interviews that bullets sometimes passed just 4 inches (10 centimeters) above his head (such as in the cow scene)."

It's more likely to have blood spray from pistol rounds, spitzer ammunition like the one of MGs and assault rifles does a neat entrance hole, but the exit one is bloody and messy. Many soldiers in ww2 reported that sometimes in the heat of the battle it was hard to tell whether a friend was wounded or not, cos bullets left little signs on their entrance.

The cow in the movie was actually shot and died on the set, slowly and painfully, poor thing

lol . . .

airsoft . . .



But any case I wish they would curve / straighten the tracers as they get close to you . . . after they fix all the bugs first. Spoke with nam vet that talked about that over night runs over the ho chi minh trail.

All they have to do is read the stories of combat pilots . . . to get an idea of tracers

Anything that moves faster than sound breaks the sound barrier....therefore it makes either a boom or a crack depending on size of the object, when a whip 'cracks' it is the tip breaking the sound barrier that makes the noise, the proppeller tips on a T-6 break the sound barrier giving it it's distinctive sound.

I was using an experimental form of sarcasm so sarcastic that only bats and dogs can understand it

Hope this helps a bit in the never ending debate of what tracers actually look like..

have a look from 4:14 and even better at 6:29

They killed a cow just to prove what tracers looked like?

Which tracer whiner was it that fire the deadly shot??

Totally boring and massively over-emphasised topic. Sorry.

Original gun cams ran at least at half speed and airsoft comparisons are meaningless.

I'm with ya on this.
Although your statement made me recall my first time pinned. We got ambushed and the tank company QRF that came out to assist us misinterpreted our instructions and lit up our position with his coax (m240b, 7.62x51)...At least I can smile and laugh about it now!
Thank God they didn't use a HEAT!
