Just watched S.W.A.T. (2003), and it's decent. Special weapons and tactics are mostly on point, no Hollywood hogwash, no politics, all with good acting and cinematography. Name your favorite lesser known Jow Forums media. And by Jow Forums I mean at least mostly realistic, well researched, not fantasy with thin veneer of authenticity, like Punisher or John Wick.
Book recommendations are double appreciated. Especially if they can be found online (I'm broke at the moment). I've recently read Storm of Steel by Ernst Jünger, and it was the best WWI read I've ever had, I'd love to read something like it.
Well-known Jow Forums works: Michael Mann's films, Black Hawk Down, Jin Roh: The Wolf Brigade, Dredd Band of Brothers, The Pacific, Generation Kill Arma series, Squad, Tarkov
They probably just thought the MPL looks heckin’ cool, same reason one of the entry team members is using an M14/M1A indoors with civilians in the area. They aren’t wrong though, those things look cool as hell.
Aaron Edwards
you are right, It's probably just for the trailers, i know you can outfit your team to better suite the environment you are operating in so people will probably be rocking pistols and shotguns until the heavily armed terror group rocks up.
Well, there is at least some logic behind using an M14. If you don't have anything better to load your .308 black tip in, that would be the only way to defeat Level 3+ armor. Walther MPL just doesn't make any sense. If you, as a dirt poor cop, could somehow come across one today, you'd just sell it and buy literally any modern cutting edge rifle with any accessories you want, and still have enough left for ammo.
If I was an armorer for that unit, I'd just claim it as irreparably damaged and then ((("""scrap"""))) it. Then I'd by the department a brand new MP-5 with pocket change. Boggles the mind when I see all these pictures of soldiers/cops around the world fighting with priceless relics. Stupid hues must not get enough potassium from their bananas to not realize they could buy out the whole favella with their Madsen and solve crime and unemployment for good.
That's what they said about you in the maternity ward

Бpaт is a pretty Jow Forums movie. Not as much so as others posted here but it has improvised weapons (explosives, silencers) and a good story. Can find version with subtitles on YouTube I think, but it's broken into 10min parts with ads and bad resolution.
Julian Miller
Oh you already mentioned it. I didn't think Бpaт 2 was that bad, just wasn't as good as first.

You realised you were a fag with a mind as impressionable as wet putty?
Cooper Sullivan
You realized you were a fag when even your own father left you?
Adam Rivera
Except he didn't, in fact I played golf with him just yesterday.
I asked the Developers and their reply was simply they liked the gun and wanted to add it. They didnt want to be 100% bound to real world gear.
Nathaniel Brooks
Sad it will never come out. A poor copy of Wind River that even an M60 couldn't save.

The Ember War Saga is a military sci fi series worth reading. No complex plot or higher concepts, but with a very good flow/pacing and extremely satisfying action scenes. The characters aren't even bad, though not exactly deep. There's a spectacular audio book reading of it out there.
Rhodesian style European Mercenaries tasked with overthrowing some dictator in an African shithole, tons of nightfighting with supressed (((UZIs))) with a young Tom Berenger and Christopher Walken.
>Way Of The Gun
Lots of realistic gunplay, the military advisor was an ex SEAL or something, see for yourself: youtube.com/watch?v=c0NzEE0kPG8
>The Substitute.
80s/early 90s aesthetics, and a nighttime shootout inside a highschool with supressed Macs, (((Uzis))) and an MP5SD youtube.com/watch?v=SMHrZEalXzQ
I completely forgot about Clear And Present Danger, an obscure but really good Tom Clancy movie. If you like to LARP in the woods then watch this, the jungle scenes are absolutely awesome.
>Yfw you will never get to look for your comrades by yourself in the jungles of Colombia armed with an obscure ass OA93 pistol.
The Substitute was such a good fucking movie. Also, anyone remember when Joey Six's haircut would have been considering cutting edge instead of basic as hell?
It was. Joey Six's haircut was peak 90s cutting edge, now it's gay af.
That shooutout in the school was pure 90s aesthetics, if there was ever a remake godforbid, there wouldn't be any subguns any more besides suppressed ARs in .300BLACKED.

Let me guess you think Bird Box is one of the scariest films ever made.

Oliver Price
Not terribly obscure but here I go:
Movies: -A Bridge Too Far (I was not expecting this movie to be so hardcore in some areas) -Heat (I watched this movie because of Jow Forums and now own it) -The Battle of Britain, Memphis belle and Strategic Air Command (only for the mass amounts of real aircraft footage)
Books: -defeat into victory (absolutely brutal and quintessentially British account of WW2 jungle warfare) -With the Old Breed -Fighter Pilot by Col Robin Olds
Vidya: -halo 1-3 -Republic commando -IL2 1946 -Battlefield Bad Company 2 -COD4

Brayden Ross
The fact that nobody around here talks about the documentary Restrepo by Sebastian Junger is kind of ridiculous.
Carson Hill
Such an interesting prediction of modern day political realities. The country is being flooded by a wave of sadly competent criminal spics. Only a counter-wave of competent white (and self-hating spic) ex-mil stops them from turning the country into literally Brasil 2.0.
Luis Thompson
It was but I love Clear And Present the most, the Colombian jungle scenes were very comfy.
I'm surprised that nobody's mentioned RONIN yet, that movie was perfect; the car chases and the shootout HNNNNNNNNG youtube.com/watch?v=qIuxlX4tvMs
For some good books would highly recommend "The Bear Went Over the Mountain" and "The Other Sode of the Mountain". They are no shit after action reports of Soviet officers fighting the Mujihideen and the other book is from the perspective of the Mujihideen talking about their tactics and experience. It has an analysis on counterinsurgency from the Frunze military institute and Lester Grau. 10/10 wished someone read this before we invaded Afghanistan.
Also recommending The Centurions by Jean Larteguy. In fact everything written by Jean Larteguy. It is a story of French paras winning against communist and Islamic fundamentalist guerillas only to be betrayed by the Madre Patria they sought to serve.
The good: Some good gunplay, some cold steel knives.
The bad: Cardboard cutout for a lead actor, dumb super tough black guy, only bigger name actor isn't in it for long. Silly tiny suppressors on handguns that clearly screw into the blank firing guns.
Another obscure but really good Jow Forums movie is Proof Of Life with RUssel Crowe. He's a mercenary that gets hired by this dude's wife so he's gotta go deep in some jungle shithole to get the husband back, it's honestly pretty good. youtube.com/watch?v=kY7qGRhWcCo
somehow they did a better convoy ambush scene in clear and present danger than they did in sicario 2 and clear and present danger was pg-13. youtube.com/watch?v=ZJlmYy-mAZY
You had a sense of panic, urgency and danger in that scene, with the yelling, the sense of imminent death with everyone getting shot and firing back, and the backround music amplifying all this. I barely remember the Sicario 2 ambush but this one was really stuck to you.
Caleb Rodriguez
He did such a good job of convey a sense of being really uncomfortable while still pulling off badass shit.
Blake Miller
Surprised to see no one mentioned this one yet. The pacing is really weird and it feels like the director didn't know what to do with the characters, but It's a really good depiction of operation nimrod. Peak 80s operator aesthetics and I imagine it's pretty realistic in the way they show the ops training and planning. Must watch for people like myself that got into learning about CTUs from R6 Siege
Lmao there was like 2 white guys and 3 minorities in his crew. If anything, the enemy mercenary crew that the school hired were all white guys lol.
I love that it predicted the proliferation of even more casual gun ownership and gear though, you had Tom Berenger's crew casually shooting their guns at the range like in user's pic.
>Except he didn't, in fact I played golf with him just yesterday. playing with little white balls and a pole >>user

Savior with Dennis Quaid. Basically the saddest movie I've ever watched.

Kind of sick how completely unprepared for war those guys and their officers were.
Carter Morgan
That upbeat beat is so out of place.
John Gonzalez
I love the insane details that went into this flashback scene, instead of normal AKs, the armorer went through the trouble of equipping the actors with actual Yugo M70s.
