Trying to finish it, but my issue is instead of getting reinforced by the past. Why not set up the mother of all ambushes with the knowledge of the aliens show up at this location, at this time, at this date.
The 5.56 choice kind of makes sense in the movie's world. If you're sending hordes of untrained people into combat wearing business suits and chef hats, telling them to bring their own personal firearms if they have any, why spend the money on arming them with expensive 308 or larger calibers when they have an 80% mortality rate......still stupid though lol
I mean, that was pretty much the entire movie... "Is (weapon/vehicle/decision) even remotely practical in the scenarios imagined?" "Not in the slightest" etc. etc.
New recruit: What's with these shitty little AR carbines for? Squad leader: Well we were looking to this guy developing this beefed up AK variant. Ended up taking a bit longer to finish up than we were anticipating...
The military tactics used were the worst. Its almost as if they were purposefully TRYING to lose. The Templin Institute made a really great video that basically... sums it up perfectly. Its kinda bizarre how little thought was put into it.
@@xObscureMars That's not what DivinityOfBlaze was talking about. It was established the future military was depleted resulting in the time travel to recruit past people. So apparently the military of the future didn't learn soon enough that 5.56 SBR's won't do well against these aliens (even after initial encounter) and couldn't adapt accordingly. Considering the military is all about "knowing your enemy", it's ironic the only proactive step was the serum research. Nothing about using higher caliber weapons to punch through white spike armor or corralling them to bottleneck locations (e.g. tunnels, hallways) where their numbers count for nothing and can be mowed down by M2 Browning guns.
I feel like the prop department was just like “You see the scope on the AR increases range, the stock and front grip improve mobility, the shorter barrel increases velocity, the light marks enemies, and the magazine has an 80 round capacity. Wait, what do you mean call of duty isn’t an accurate representation of guns?”
I feel the prop department was just like "We are expert firearms, their construction, use and safey. We own and have built several thousand of them. We've been doing this for decades in some of the most famous gun movies ever made. And so we are going to design some guns that look cool on-screen and on billboards, as that's what the filmmakers paid us for."
@@HipsterKhan But in Cold War the only negative to taking off the stock would be that you lose hip fire accuracy. Why would they keep the stock and a big one at that
@@gjv200 because I definitely wasn’t referencing the fact that much like prop designing, call of duty cares about your gun looking cool more than how it actually works.

@@miked7728 I may think that from the characters he plays. I don't know him but in most movies or shows he's been in he played as a egotistical tool. I understand that's not a good reason to make an assumption like that but idk. As far as the pudgy part, seriously why would you put someone who isn't at least a firm body structure to play a role as an elite warrior? You wouldn't expect him to chase down scientifically altered dinosaurs with a pack raptors with a gut, realistically they would be pretty fit, or as a navy seal in zero dark thirty, starlord I can understand being a little fat I doubt there's any need to workout on some planets but that's my reasoning. Some may agree some won't and that's okay
I never thought I would laugh so hard at JK Simmons saying he was in a dark place and then watching him hand to hand combat with a alien with a .338 lapua Ar
At least they should’ve gotten bayonets or something like that. It seems like knives did more damage than the guns (which is pretty unrealistic) if they have armor than can stop an AR round, then no way will a knife cut through like butter.
I bet this is how the movie pitch went. "Its story where no one reloads a gun. . . but here is the M. Night Shyamalan plot twist. At the end someone forgets to load their gun."
My thought exactly, when the armies of various countries in the real world have turned to larger calibers due to the development of body armor on HUMAN, the future army fighting aliens with heavier armor uses 5.56 all the time.
You know what would have been great? Some movies and games take guns that are currently in testing or in a program for development (take the CoD games, they always put experimental guns in their games) so the movie could have done just that and armed everyone with the NGSW guns like SIG MCXs which are not only meant to defeat body armor but look cool as hell
Me: _"They should build some fancy future drones so they can limit human casualties."_ Future Soldier: _"We will be sending you to the future with board shorts, underperforming weapons, unnecessary rifle accessories, no meaningful back-up, no intel on your enemy, and no training. May the odds be ever in your favor."_ ^^Basically sums up their war effort^^ Probably would've been a good idea to have the alien lab in a submarine, or something more mobile, with better restraints on the alien too. Might've saved them the complications of having to deal with a swarm of "Spikers" swimming to that floating island. Also, whoever was on watch and allowed the aliens to get to the sea mines before warning anyone of imminent danger deserved to die. They took their sweet ass time evacuating the non-essential personnel too. Entertaining movie but shit writing for the sake of the plot.
Not to mention that 79% of the movie was useless fluff since the entire means to defeat the aliens was already within the grasp of current day humans, since, ya know, no one had thought to figure out how they showed up mysteriously in Russia with no ships being seen. Lets just keep sending people to die in a future war that isn’t their future to begin with since the entire timeline has been altered already.
In the earlier drafts, the toxin (the basic one for the males) were already completed and all the drafties were injected with it, so they were literally living bait, once a creature ate them it died. But they took this out of the final draft.
@@GeneralPenemonto That would've been a really cool logical twist to why they were essentially sending cannon fodder to their deaths. Instead we got a plot hole shit show for a story .
@@Ideo7Z Their selection had to do to how much the people going forward were not going to contribute to the future. That's why it was only people that had deaths in their near future. But they should have been sending them with larger caliber rifles and armor piercing ammo.
I couldn't understand why Chris Pratt's character didn't kill thr restrained female once they had the perfected toxin? She served no purpose. Only her continued cries summoned more males to the platform to attack.
To me the movie felt off. It was the jokes right after seeing most of their people fall to their death and stuff like that, that I didn't like. It was a good action flick though.
@Paul Martin - Strange level of hypocrisy isn't it? Hollywood: "Wow! Guns are so cool! Look at all the cool stuff we put on these ones! Look at what it does!" Joe Average: "You know, that does look pretty cool, can I have a closer look? Perhaps purchase one myself?" Hollywood + ATF: "Hell to the fuck no, shitizen."
@Paul Martin the Left is Anti Gun because Hollywood showed them that any black gun is ALWAYS fully automatic, and guns never, ever have to be reloaded, so of course they are capable of killing thousands in mere seconds.🤦
@@one-of-us9939 nah, because then there would definitely be a paradox, ok say these people come back in time to recruit people right? But the end the war in the present, so then the don't need to go back in time to recruit people, because they already destroyed the aliens,
The only part I didn't like in the movie, was the thought of being one of those people who went through time and didn't have a pool underneath them to land in.
When they got jumped back, why didn’t they put them in a bouncy house or something? Concrete slab is like the worst surface to have if you know it’s gonna drop you 5-10 ft off the ground!
I didn’t like that either but the system was having problems at the exact moment so I assumed that’s why they spawned way up in the air. Considering that one dude was on his 2-3rd “tour” surely all of the teleports weren’t like that.
Twitter or reddit might get it. If someone was willing to drop a few hundred cash, you can hire actors to make appearances for parties and stuff, I'm sure Pratt would accept a range visit.
Pratt stays with some of his friends in south Texas to go hunting once a year. The people he stays with is about a 3 hourish drive from Demo Ranch. Reaching out might be worth it!
I don't care what anybody says, I thought the rifles looked pretty bad ass. But I do agree with Brandon on the ACOG and 45 degree reflex sight. Other than that, I want one. But maybe not chambered in 5.56. I'd go 9mm with the Mean Arms Endomags. I don't particularly plan on shooting heavily armored, giant aliens any time soon
I love the guns in the "Tomorrow War", they were able to cram 100 rounds in a 17 round magazine. Not to mention rifles that seems to run on belt fed ammo. Technology is GREAT!
I was so upset they were using 5.56mm against these extremely hard to kill monsters, that I went and got a 5.56, 7.62 and a 50bmg and made my wife endure a lecture on why I wouldn't have wanted anything less than 7.62 against these things. And yes, they did have magic magazines like the gun genie granted Kentucky ballistics.
Definitely 7.62 over 5.56 against these things with AP rounds if possible. I do wonder if one of the more exotic rounds for the AR platform would have been better like a .450 bushmaster or .50 Beowulf but I don't have any exposure to them. Its always the same problem though: Supply chain, Weight constraints, and Capacity vs. punch. I was also thinking a double stack 10mm side arm with hot loads would have been good to have. I completely missed that JK was using a 338 Lapua AR. Assumed it was a .308. I know there was a company making a 338 Lapua, but I think it was $5G when I came across an ad for it. Sounds like Brandon knows the company and an owner of one.
I built my AR last year with a 20" barrel. I realize that so many people are going with as short a barrel as they can get, that my AR probably looks like it is five feet long. I carried an A1 as my duty rifle, so this AR looks right to me. I enjoyed The Tomorrow War, but yes, I thought those stubby barrels were kinda' dumb. And, in that application, the AR is kinda' dumb. And I'm an AR guy.
Me and my dad watched this movie and all we talked about was, where is the fully automatic shotguns with slugs/armorpen/explosivetips? Considering most of the soldiers they send in are inexperienced, I would recommend the AA-12 with a drummag. Zero reciol ez to use. Probability of needing to reload is low, because you either killed all the aliens or your dead before the mag runs out. Also explosive slugs exists now, pretty sure they would be even more common in the future, and being more reliable.
Shotguns are not amazingly great against armor, no matter what kind of crazy slugs you’re running. They just don’t have the velocity. Even explosive slugs probably won’t be worth the bulk; those exploding slugs are meant to be door-busting rounds.
@@Shaun_Jones dude you play to much fortnite. 12gauge slugs can do some real damage. Especially coming out of a fully/semi automatic shotgun. Also this is the future not some cheap lead slugs
@@Shaun_Jones you obviously have not seen what a slug can do to armor especially a 12 gauge one though one of the best slugs to use are ones called Bionic Brass ruclips.net/video/XzsiZrOskjY/видео.html though there also exist Magnum slugs for the 12ga.
@@JohnnyYeTaecanUktena yes, there are armor piercing 12-gauge slugs, but what I’m saying is that for the bulk of carrying those slugs, you could be using something like 30-06 ap that blows 12g out of the water. I’m not saying they are useless, I’m just saying that there are better options.
I love the Jagged Alliance 2 description of 338 Lapua Magnum. "If these fails to stop your target... Bobby Rays has a fine selection of anti tank weaponry" :D
What killed it for me was the scope that I'm sure cost more than the rifle, being given to untrained every day people that will most likely not return. They'd be lucky to get any optic 😂😂
Imagine how short the movie would be if they sent Hickok45, Demolition Ranch, Paul Harrell, Jerry and Lena Miculek, Lucas Botkin, Garand Thumb, and Kentucky Patriot in the first wave of time traveling soldiers using the proper weapons for the task. Ok Brandon, you can go too. (Just kidding, we love you.) Vsauce3 needs to round up a bunch of GunTubers and do a shot-for-shot remake.
"quick we need soldiers in a future war to kill aliens that take over the planet!' Uhh... Do you know where they came from? "Ya in this ship in the middle of the artic." Well how about instead of wasting a bunch of untrained conscripts we just find where the ship here in the past and just explode the whole thing before it even begins. "No. But yes."
Its funny because nobody even considers they could've been on Earth the whole time. Like whoops, they appear out of nowhere, there is no way we can know where they came from.
@@Spartan322 Spoilers Well, they were a might busy getting their butts handed to them. Also, who would have thought of an invasion force hibernating for hundreds of years, let alone that they were actually cargo of some type. Among the movie's issue this really isn't that bad and kinda believable.
Or ya know. Instead of sending consrcipts to their doom. You could just ask the future people where did the invasion start and where from and just train up your forces until that day comes that way yer ready. Cause people in the future will tell you how it went. Time travel movies are dumb and anyone who likes them should also feel dumb.
Brandon - "Movie has been everywhere, you probably heard about it when Connor broke his own leg..." Me from under my rock- "There's a new movie? A guy broke his leg? What the hell is an Amazon Prime? :/ "
I was good on the not having to reload part... I'll allow action movies their infinite mags. HOWEVER I WILL NOT ALLOW IT WHEN YOUR MOUNTED .50 RUNS OUT OF BELT MID SHOT. (As seen here 4:10) NO SIR.
Damn, my most preferred part of the movie is crushed. Did not see this and do not understand why the did not CGI this right. Filmbudget was 299.99 at it's most I guess.
Their huge ocean fort with multible warships, huge walls and hundreds of thousands of soldiers got taken over in a few minutes with barely any alien casualties...
That makes two of us. Of course it didn't help they weren't really telling them what they were going up against either. Really bugged me when Pratt goes to war with an 8 shot 1911 variant after being a Special Forces guy. At a minimum I would have expected him to have at least a double stack of anything when going into an unknown situation where you already know everyone is getting their butts kicked.
I just kept thinking...ok...you're literally recruiting people with zero military/weapon training...why not give shotguns and 'nade launchers to everyone? Problem solved.
The best defense I can come up with in terms of bullet velocity and quantity: are we sure they haven't created smaller bullets with a better fuel source for ignition? I haven't seen the movie, so I don't know if we saw what's in the mags, I'm just hypothesizing.
Don't bother, they managed to cram just about every Woke, Climate Change BS talking point into it...oh...and all the best fighters except Chris Pratt and the black guy with the shotgun are women.
But SG-1 never tried to be futuristic. They had a low budget and were using a limited number of contemporary prop guns. Hell, Amanda Tapping started using a short barreled AR in season 5 because 5.7X28 blanks were getting too expensive. And the zat’nik’tels….
All you needed to do was see how jacked JK was to know once he inevitably got involved in the shooting, he’s bringing the right hardware for the job. For the ARs in the majority of the movie, when I heard the firing sound and rate, my first thought was if they were shooting 9mm out of them. Then when they enabled infinite ammo, I thought “oh I see, then we’re just going to put out enough lead to chip them to death to compensate”.
The biggest gun problem in this movie isn’t a gun; it’s the fact that they used the F-22 raptor to bomb a city. It could *technically* have extra capacity with a couple of hard points, but its entire purpose is air superiority. Clearly these aliens aren’t flying anywhere, so why send the future F-22s which can’t do anything?
Brandon’s suspension of disbelief: Man-eating aliens that shoot spikes out of their tentacles: “Plausible”; Time traveling teens needing help with war between said aliens: “I’m good with that”; 30 round AR mags with near infinite capacity: “Impossible!! Blasphemous!!” Haha 😂
It's funny, because in my experience writing, people are willing to accept the really outlandish or impossible stuff. It's part of the story premise. But the little things that are transparently impossible, like bottomless mags - those usually raise more objections.
@@bobdobsin6216 Because it's not set up. If you set up that these guys have magic magazines, people would complain about them a lot less, no matter how stupid your justification for them would be.
@@vaclavjebavy5118 I agree wholeheartedly. I don't really think it's a mystery. People are happy to be generous and run with a premise or an idea, if it is foundational to or otherwise explained by the story. It's when things are inconsistent with reality (or the reality of the story world) that people get sucked out of the experience. I think this is funny - how little details can have such a large effect on immersion. I think a lot of writers overlook how damning the little details can be. But maybe they know, and they just don't want to play that game. It's a lot of time and effort to research adequate detail, and most people don't notice it - they only notice when you *fail*. I do it because I love it, but I think most writers don't. That being said, I don't think that excuse really applies to bottomless mags.
For real though how hard is it to just get some 60 round mags at least, they are already spending loads on these guns and then it'd be a little more plausible lol
As a retired vet, I am extremely proud of the fact that I didn’t scream “reload!” once through the entire movie.....my wife on the other hand.....the neighbourhood heard the commands of “RELOAD!” My army wife is the best army wife of all time.⚔️🇨🇦
Reload, for when movie magic doesn't cross over into real life. Reloading, for letting your squad know to move up as you get ready to get back into action. Communication, because despite how some people act we are not a damn hive mind and should never try to be one. Thank you for your service.
The movie was fun and a little ridiculous in an entertaining way. I was impressed with the speed and smoothness of both Pratts and his adult daughters switching to their sidearm after their primary was out of ammo. I played back those scenes a few times to admire them. I also liked how when she was shooting the 50 cal mount she used her leg as leverage to turn the gun because she is smaller and too light to swing it with bodyweight alone.
Xtreme Props definitely knows what they’re doing, but I’m betting the directors said “we want a cool looking space gun and we want to make it seem like they’re bullet hoses”.
See problem is if they actually did that then the aliens would stand no chance. Everyone would be decked out with like video dude said .308 maybe 6.5 creed minimum. Movie would be over in 20 minutes with 5 minutes of it being main actors kicking ass the whole time.
@AntiangelRaphael I much like the grim-diesel/future diesel aesthetics. Think the transitional period after the first few iterations of the AR-15 and introduction of the first bullpups as well as early pic-rail optics and mounts, block receivers either in polymer or stamped/milled receivers with smooth exaggerated lines.
I dont want to pack 10 pounds of sweat soaked wood that been riding your back ass for years cause you shoot it only at the range although you have taken it hunting every year since you turned 10 =P
As a turn your brain off summer blockbuster it was a fun movie. Pretty good action scenes with enough plot and “dramatic” bits to keep you involved. No complaints here.
The Hera CQR is the Dumb Producer’s dream AR kit, and has been for a disturbingly long time. Try originality, boys: we all remember the M41A Pulse Rifle; AR-with-extra-doodley-bits, not so much.
Yeah, that was my issue with it. "Let's send our barely trained ancestors into our war with peashooters." You'd think they rechamber the guns with higher calibre ammo so they'd have a chance.
Or if they knew from where the aliens came from just set up some sort of defensive perimeter around there. So that when the aliens arrive they run into a wall of firepower first
I'd rather sacrifice the heavier round for low recoil and better accuracy. Those things were fast. Heavier round comes with slower movement and rof to control recoil for accuracy. I think the 5.56 was a good choice for the type of enemy.
I never imagined paying a dozen people in a crew to CGI film to look like a gun is firing to be cheaper than the actual ammo It would take to do the scene in real life 😲
Chris Pratt didn't so half bad in his handling of the weapons though, he kept trying to do a press check on his AR and use the failure button but I don't think he quite knew how to do it, I know he hunts IRL so he's familiar with fudd guns in the very least
Why does it have to be “fudd guns”? Like, purpose built hunting rifles exist. Fudd guns. Jeepers. Derogatory labeling and some kind of weird mall ninja virtue signaling is what started this fudd gun nonsense. Lots of folks have all kinds of different firearms that have different purposes.
@@yourdad5384 a firearm that has been butchered by a fudd for example a mosin nagant that has had its stock cut down and a scope mounted on it in layman's terms sporterized
I theorize that the ARs featured in the movie are some sort of "M4A3" (A2 would be burst) that was designed to be as comfortable as possible while still being incredibly cheap. This would explain the short barrel and foregrip featured on ALL of them. Then probably in the middle of the war the government manufacturing these were like "wait minute we need to rechamber these for a more powerful cartridge" so they started the process of adding bigger stocks to handle higher calibers and medium Reflex sights in order to use the rifle like a DMR. But then the manufacturing entity was damaged so much that they were unable to finish the complete reconfiguration, leading to a fucking up looking R0933
One of my favorite things they did was avoid the trope of something grabs onto the helicopter's skid and all the sudden it goes into an uncontrollable spin that's impossible to recover from. In this movie it actually looked like the pilots tried to recover it, and hell, one even did and it was awesome. Just a nice touch to me.
The GAU-19 has been around for almost 10 years. It's basically a minigun that shoots .50BMG rounds. You mean to say no one thought to use that against the white spikes? Comeon. Slap some API rounds and it'll be a walk in the park.

My thought exactly, when the armies of various countries in the real world have turned to larger calibers due to the development of body armor on HUMAN, the future army fighting aliens with heavier armor uses 5.56 all the time.
You know what would have been great? Some movies and games take guns that are currently in testing or in a program for development (take the CoD games, they always put experimental guns in their games) so the movie could have done just that and armed everyone with the NGSW guns like SIG MCXs which are not only meant to defeat body armor but look cool as hell
Me: _"They should build some fancy future drones so they can limit human casualties."_
Future Soldier: _"We will be sending you to the future with board shorts, underperforming weapons, unnecessary rifle accessories, no meaningful back-up, no intel on your enemy, and no training. May the odds be ever in your favor."_
^^Basically sums up their war effort^^
Probably would've been a good idea to have the alien lab in a submarine, or something more mobile, with better restraints on the alien too. Might've saved them the complications of having to deal with a swarm of "Spikers" swimming to that floating island. Also, whoever was on watch and allowed the aliens to get to the sea mines before warning anyone of imminent danger deserved to die. They took their sweet ass time evacuating the non-essential personnel too. Entertaining movie but shit writing for the sake of the plot.
Not to mention that 79% of the movie was useless fluff since the entire means to defeat the aliens was already within the grasp of current day humans, since, ya know, no one had thought to figure out how they showed up mysteriously in Russia with no ships being seen. Lets just keep sending people to die in a future war that isn’t their future to begin with since the entire timeline has been altered already.
In the earlier drafts, the toxin (the basic one for the males) were already completed and all the drafties were injected with it, so they were literally living bait, once a creature ate them it died. But they took this out of the final draft.
@@GeneralPenemonto That would've been a really cool logical twist to why they were essentially sending cannon fodder to their deaths. Instead we got a plot hole shit show for a story .
@@Ideo7Z Their selection had to do to how much the people going forward were not going to contribute to the future. That's why it was only people that had deaths in their near future. But they should have been sending them with larger caliber rifles and armor piercing ammo.
I couldn't understand why Chris Pratt's character didn't kill thr restrained female once they had the perfected toxin? She served no purpose. Only her continued cries summoned more males to the platform to attack.
The movie was great, but that rifle felt like a fully functional “fuck you, un-bullpups your rifle” bullpup.
To me the movie felt off. It was the jokes right after seeing most of their people fall to their death and stuff like that, that I didn't like. It was a good action flick though.

I was so upset they were using 5.56mm against these extremely hard to kill monsters, that I went and got a 5.56, 7.62 and a 50bmg and made my wife endure a lecture on why I wouldn't have wanted anything less than 7.62 against these things. And yes, they did have magic magazines like the gun genie granted Kentucky ballistics.
Definitely 7.62 over 5.56 against these things with AP rounds if possible. I do wonder if one of the more exotic rounds for the AR platform would have been better like a .450 bushmaster or .50 Beowulf but I don't have any exposure to them. Its always the same problem though: Supply chain, Weight constraints, and Capacity vs. punch. I was also thinking a double stack 10mm side arm with hot loads would have been good to have.
I completely missed that JK was using a 338 Lapua AR. Assumed it was a .308. I know there was a company making a 338 Lapua, but I think it was $5G when I came across an ad for it. Sounds like Brandon knows the company and an owner of one.
I built my AR last year with a 20" barrel. I realize that so many people are going with as short a barrel as they can get, that my AR probably looks like it is five feet long. I carried an A1 as my duty rifle, so this AR looks right to me. I enjoyed The Tomorrow War, but yes, I thought those stubby barrels were kinda' dumb. And, in that application, the AR is kinda' dumb. And I'm an AR guy.
Brandon- "they never reload!"
Me- well yeah they obviously have WoRmHoLe MaGs
Me and my dad watched this movie and all we talked about was, where is the fully automatic shotguns with slugs/armorpen/explosivetips?
Considering most of the soldiers they send in are inexperienced, I would recommend the AA-12 with a drummag.
Zero reciol ez to use. Probability of needing to reload is low, because you either killed all the aliens or your dead before the mag runs out.
Also explosive slugs exists now, pretty sure they would be even more common in the future, and being more reliable.
Shotguns are not amazingly great against armor, no matter what kind of crazy slugs you’re running. They just don’t have the velocity. Even explosive slugs probably won’t be worth the bulk; those exploding slugs are meant to be door-busting rounds.

Really bugged me when Pratt goes to war with an 8 shot 1911 variant after being a Special Forces guy. At a minimum I would have expected him to have at least a double stack of anything when going into an unknown situation where you already know everyone is getting their butts kicked.
The whole movie bugged me as it was a shitty waste of time.

I haven't seen the movie, so I don't know if we saw what's in the mags, I'm just hypothesizing.
Pretty sure that future military is sorely sorry for not adopting an NGSW entrant.

I think this is funny - how little details can have such a large effect on immersion. I think a lot of writers overlook how damning the little details can be. But maybe they know, and they just don't want to play that game. It's a lot of time and effort to research adequate detail, and most people don't notice it - they only notice when you *fail*.

The movie was fun and a little ridiculous in an entertaining way. I was impressed with the speed and smoothness of both Pratts and his adult daughters switching to their sidearm after their primary was out of ammo. I played back those scenes a few times to admire them. I also liked how when she was shooting the 50 cal mount she used her leg as leverage to turn the gun because she is smaller and too light to swing it with bodyweight alone.

You'd think they rechamber the guns with higher calibre ammo so they'd have a chance.
Youd think they send tanks.
Hell, you'd think they could source G3s and FALs instead of piddly assault rifles.
can I trade in my 5.56 for something in 12.7 to fight these things?
Or if they knew from where the aliens came from just set up some sort of defensive perimeter around there. So that when the aliens arrive they run into a wall of firepower first
I'd rather sacrifice the heavier round for low recoil and better accuracy. Those things were fast. Heavier round comes with slower movement and rof to control recoil for accuracy. I think the 5.56 was a good choice for the type of enemy.

I laughed out loud when the belt ended on the 50 and it just kept firing.
When I read this, I had to go back and rewatch it because I thought there’s no way they’d miss something that obvious!🤣🤣🤣
lmao
I never imagined paying a dozen people in a crew to CGI film to look like a gun is firing to be cheaper than the actual ammo It would take to do the scene in real life 😲
I rewinded to confirm😂
Getting ready for the time jump, ATF shows up, arrests everyone.
ATF: barrels are too short, your all going to prison.
LMAO! Bruh!

Looks like it never happened
I was laughing how by the END of the movie in present day, Chris Pratt and his team got BETTER guns, including the AR-10 JK Simmons was lugging around
Chris Pratt didn't so half bad in his handling of the weapons though, he kept trying to do a press check on his AR and use the failure button but I don't think he quite knew how to do it, I know he hunts IRL so he's familiar with fudd guns in the very least
Why does it have to be “fudd guns”? Like, purpose built hunting rifles exist. Fudd guns. Jeepers. Derogatory labeling and some kind of weird mall ninja virtue signaling is what started this fudd gun nonsense. Lots of folks have all kinds of different firearms that have different purposes.

Wtf is a fudd gun

J Jonah Jameson really needs those pictures of Spider-Man, huh
I theorize that the ARs featured in the movie are some sort of "M4A3" (A2 would be burst) that was designed to be as comfortable as possible while still being incredibly cheap. This would explain the short barrel and foregrip featured on ALL of them. Then probably in the middle of the war the government manufacturing these were like "wait minute we need to rechamber these for a more powerful cartridge" so they started the process of adding bigger stocks to handle higher calibers and medium Reflex sights in order to use the rifle like a DMR. But then the manufacturing entity was damaged so much that they were unable to finish the complete reconfiguration, leading to a fucking up looking R0933
I enjoyed the movie enough to watch it all. My wife told me to stop screaming "RELOAD".
brandon: "its a 338 lapua AR"
me: "oh like in tarkov"
Are you talking about the mk-18
@@Cobalt.tarkov he does bcs its the only 338 lapua in the game

You know a certain gun that would last until a tommorow war? The galil.... HEY BRANDON A GALIL REVIEW WOULD BE INCREDIBLE!
Not if the Palestinians have anything to say about it lol
One of my favorite things they did was avoid the trope of something grabs onto the helicopter's skid and all the sudden it goes into an uncontrollable spin that's impossible to recover from. In this movie it actually looked like the pilots tried to recover it, and hell, one even did and it was awesome. Just a nice touch to me.
I'm surprised you didn't cover the guy with the 12g collecting AR mags.
He was just looking out for his homies, making sure they had enough ammo.
For his buddies lol
@@RealDavidChipman as he told Pratt not to care about anyone else...
This movie’s plot holes will cause you to drink…in fact, just be drinking when you watch it.
Agreed, but it is still worth getting some popcorn and watching.
The GAU-19 has been around for almost 10 years. It's basically a minigun that shoots .50BMG rounds. You mean to say no one thought to use that against the white spikes? Comeon. Slap some API rounds and it'll be a walk in the park.
