Ya know, the big robbery where the guys had all that firepower.. I've been waiting for this for awhile.

just a heads up, sorry if a repost

 

[RyanM]

I hope this doesn't suck. It's an incredible story. Let's pray FX pulls it off right.

[Mookow]

*response to the opening monologue

 

[Bullhonkie]

I'd hate to see what you call a bank robbery gone right.

"an AK-47 is not a fscking machine gun!"

Umm . . . what would you call it then? An assault rifle? The term machine gun is used generally to refer to any fully-automatic weapon.

I think acted out... It's kinda like a TV movie or something based on the Bank Of America shootout...

 

[MikeMike]

i know what its based on, but it would be cool if they could mix the 2 in effeciently

MIKE

 

[eLiTeGoodGuy]

the guy from Office Space is on it

 

[OREOSpeedwagon]

so, this is a machine gun? An AKM is a fully automatic, select fire rifle, not a machine gun. A machine gun is made for higher rates of sustained fire, tends to be belt fed, heavier barrel to handle the extra heat (higher rate of fire = more powder burnt = more heat), etc.

No it's a machine pistol or submachine gun, by definition any full-automatic weapon that fires pistol cartridges.

I didn't know they can curse on the FX channel...

 

[RyanM]

So far, not too shabby. I do wonder how accurate the characters are; IE, are they portraying the actual officers, or generic people.

 

[MikeMike]

hehe, i dont think they could get the liscnese to use a chevrolet car, so they cut the 'et' out of it, and made it a chevrol!!

They said "sh!t" 162 times in one Episode of South Park.

Technically they can say and show ANYTHING on Basic cable, but if someone complains, they get fined. They're forced to self-censor, but occasionally, they use the bad words and show the bad stuff.

Case in point - The Shield. unFage, that show is.

 

[MikeMike]

the cops who are talking, from what i know are actual cops from the day of the rampage, although some of the things they were doing before it might not be real

Just for giggles, but Combat Missions which was on USA had Bob Kain which was the SWAT officer in shorts that gets out of the car when they pull up next to the truck during the real deal. Just a tidbit of info.

And generally, machine guns are what Kow said. Usually have 2 people operating one. One for fire, one for support. M60s, 240s, 249s, etc.

Ak47s are just rifles.

 

[Joony]

Maybe an AK47 would be better classified as an Automatic rifle
