tomfturner Posted March 8, 2006 Share Posted March 8, 2006 For those of you that are mad at yourselves for ever watching "24", then don't start watching this one either. You will be hooked. I figure it's got some of the same writers and producers as NCIS, but the action is good and the plot works. I like that they showed a "reload" of the Kimber operator, and that they didn't show an 8-shot gun as having held 15 rounds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rtr Posted March 8, 2006 Share Posted March 8, 2006 Pretty cool show, although like everything in Hollywood not representative of reality. All I could think when I saw the reload was "this guy obviously doesn't shoot IPSC". The ND at the end was disturbing too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigbadaboom Posted March 8, 2006 Share Posted March 8, 2006 I liked it a lot but a real Delta Operator would not carry his mags backwards. I'll try not to miss an episode. Could do without the "wife cheating on her husband with the C.O." drama though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
North Posted March 8, 2006 Share Posted March 8, 2006 I wouldn't call that a ND, he meant to shoot. Good show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Cheely Posted March 8, 2006 Share Posted March 8, 2006 Pretty cool show, although like everything in Hollywood not representative of reality. All I could think when I saw the reload was "this guy obviously doesn't shoot IPSC". Yea, that reload was getting on my nerves today. So slooooooooooooooooow. Good thing he wasn't under any pressure or anything... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fireant Posted March 8, 2006 Share Posted March 8, 2006 Funny. I figured this would be a good show to watch while I did my dry fire routine last night. I thought my reloads were slow until I saw his. It reminded me of some new shooter at the local non-IPSC match Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Middle Man Posted March 8, 2006 Share Posted March 8, 2006 Seems that I read somewhere one of the writer/producers also works on The Shield. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eerw Posted March 8, 2006 Share Posted March 8, 2006 Liked the show.. could of left out the wife and Col. stuff at the end.. That reload was painfully slow even in the slow motion "in the moment" assault on the plane.. what was the quote??, Get to shoot guns, jump out of airplanes and then come home, what's better than that?"

chuckbradley Posted March 9, 2006 Share Posted March 9, 2006 Yep, the CO in bed with one of his mens wife while he keeps him deployed was more than I wanted in this show. I bet nobody else noticed the reload but us competition shooters. That reload was like a newbies first match. I will watch again. I just wonder where those 2 rounds went. TV leads us to believe bullets stop at the first thing they hit. Wasnt his wife on the other side of that wall? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bufit323 Posted March 9, 2006 Share Posted March 9, 2006 Executive produce for this show is Eric Haney. He authored Inside Delta Force, top notch book. He knows what he is talking about for sure. Heck of a nice guy, to boot; I mailed him my book, he autographed it, then gave me his email address. I told him that I was really interested in learning to master pistol shooting, (like he and his operators have) he tells me the best place for a civy to learn the pistol is USPSA. That was two years ago, I have been hooked ever since. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AWLAZS Posted March 9, 2006 Share Posted March 9, 2006 I forgot all about those shots at the end. He must do it all the time. His wife spoke of the mirror a few other times during the show and made a point of telling him it was replaced. I bet they have some steel on the wall to stop the shoot throughs. I wondered why his team did not bring him any eq. They grabbed two MP5's from the gunsmith guy why not that over the handgun. When the second guy went into the woods he carried his gun pointed at the ground instead of using the "third eye" to help him look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nm3gnr Posted March 9, 2006 Share Posted March 9, 2006 Well I am hooked to watch it again. I guess I missed the talk about the mirror early in the show. A also did not catch the wife cheating, I thought it was his wife. When I see stuff like the reload or the approach in the woods with the gun at low ready, I try not to comment, after all it is a show and not reallity. If I were a terrorist I would have blown the plane as soon as my buddy got shot from the door. Until next week !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Genghis Posted March 9, 2006 Share Posted March 9, 2006 Executive produce for this show is Eric Haney. He authored Inside Delta Force, top notch book. +1 The sequence when the trainees are first brought into the shooting house was unbelievable. The instructors burst in and clear the room, shooting dummies spread throughout the room, with the students sitting there in the middle of the whole thing. The first episode was very good, even though there were a few minor technical errors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rupie Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 I love the show, it definatly has its dumb moments which are most of the scenes with the wives, other than just the family backroud story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
38supPat Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 I still watch, yeah it's Hollywood, but about the best you could hope for. Anyone that has worked on a set will know what I mean. The new technical consultant is Pete Blaber, so the info is there if they want it. There was a good comment I think in an interview on the DVD where they know the actors don't nessessarily 'get' the proper use of firearms, but it's easier to teach some shooting techniques to actors than it is to teach acting to shooters...

That was two years ago, I have been hooked ever since. 20 odd years ago he was Command Sergeant Major Haney in my Infantry battalion in Panama. He was an excellent leader. He was in Panama for Just Cause but by then I had transferred to the Jungle School. I loved his book, The Unit - not so much. I find some of it too far-fetched and the cheating within the organization is too much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
