So I was just reading through my ROC Mission Dossier, and I noticed Duke's profile, it says his rifle is a HK416 assault rifle, yet the picture is a FN2000. He used a HK416 during his desert ambush scene, not during the rest of the movie.
Here's the difference, This is an HK416 And this is a FN2000, which is the Joes weapon of choice AND I also noticed during the attack on the Pit scene, Duke fires a AA-12, yet it had assault rifle sounds, and even fires like a machine gun. Yes, it's an automatic shotgun, but it does not fire like that, and does NOT have machine gun sounds like that. I guess they thought because it looks like a rifle no one would notice, but to a guy who knows his guns, I noticed it right away. My god the weapons guy who worked on this film didn't know jack shit. What other goofs did you spot in the case of weapons? |

Maybe they should have had more realistic military consultants like they did in Transformers: Revenge of The Fallen. Instead of using Public Affairs and desk jockeys for consulting they should have used the guys/gals who do all the field work. In other words the military folks who are combat experienced and work the equipment.

I think they didn't want kids to know much about guns yet.
They did have a military consultant, but I guess they didn't want to expose much of the military's future plans, so it's most likely a cover-up.

Dude, come on. Cover up? You know they fucked up. I don't think they would switcxh the names on purpose just for the sake of exposing kids to guns. That's ridiculous. Esspecially considering the full on explanation of the Delta-6 Accelerator Suits told by Heavy Duty.

I doubt the ROC armourer "didn't know jack shit" about firearms, seeing as how he didn't work on the MISSION DOSSIER book and the weapon mix-up is more likely attributable to an editor/proof reader (who is probably not military oriented).
As for the inaccurate shotgun sound, it was added in post production and again, has little to do with the on-set armourer. A sound mixer may have wanted a more traditional weapon sound so it would stand out in what was a very loud scene anyway.

why would you want them to be using real ammo? its good that they use blanks or else it would be like the Brandon Lee incident.

Mafia set up BTW or the Lee family curse. You pick which sounds more likely.

Mafia? I always thought it was because of the curse that killed him but what connections did he have with the Mob?
