    Watched again also....I agree with Doc65.... "those boys on the grassy knoll were dead & buried out side teralinqua..." " you know this for a fact?" "... still got the shovel..." is the best line of the movie....second best is someones signiture line here or over at Accurate Shooter...something like..."I'm just a peckerwood who likes in the mountains with too many guns"....

    For some reason when I pause the Barrett parts, the bullets and muzzle look smaller than a .50 cal?
    It is a 408 Cheytac system, not a Barrett.

    Thanks for that, I'll get some Google wisdom on Cheytacs.

    I think of the scene where the Fed is at the internet cafe, everytime I log on here. : - )

    The only problem I had with the movie is when their standing on an overpass in Montana and the FBI agent asks if they were in a gunfight in virginia last night. These guys drive faster than I do!

    The only problem I had with the movie is when theyre standing on an overpass in Montana and the FBI agent is wearing a Che Guevara t-shirt....? I havent figured that one out.

    Correction: I watched it again this weekend and you see the Che t-shirt when they are in Tennesse

    His latest paperback had me rolling in stitches. Soft Target is about a hostage take over of a large mall near Minneapolis on black Friday. The cheif of police is named Obobo and specializes in saying things that sound great but have no depth or meaning. Warning story line revealed next ..............

    The books are way better than the movie. Bob Lee Swagger is a great. I think I have read or listened to most of Stephen Hunters books. Between Nelson Demille, Stephen Hunter and Vince Flynn they keep me moving down the hi-way. I am a truck driver and listen to most while driving.

    Love the movie, much more accurate than alot of Hollywood's usual garbage. And Hunter has always been outspoken about our gun rights and been featured in the American Rifleman a couple times. Ya just can't beat Bob Lee Swagger and who better to play him than Mark!

    How about someone pro gun in that role. I borrowed this from a guns and ammo article. BTW, I enjoyed the movie.

    The ex-leader of the Funky Bunch, Marky Mark had some pretty strong words for Charlton Heston. At the 2000 MTV Movie Awards, Wahlberg suggested on stage that the “Best Villain” award be given to Heston: “I believe Charlton Heston is America’s best villain because he loves guns so much. Maybe he should get the award for being president of the National Rifle Association.” But his anti-gun attitude didn’t stop there. “Well, I would love it if they could take all the guns away. Unfortunately, you can’t do that so you hope that good people in the world have them to protect the people who can’t protect themselves,” he said in an April 26, 2007, edition of the Herald Sun. “Certainly, I haven’t used a gun anywhere other than on a movie set and I’d like to see if we could take them all away. It would be a beautiful thing.”

    It is a great movie and one that I can watch over and over again. When I do, I always notice something that I missed the previous times I watched it.

    Bought the Shooter DVD with extra footage disk, and enjoyed it tremendously. Sadly there was too much truth in the politics shown. Great action pretty true to life. Will watch it over and over.

    WOW. I did not see that one coming, i am shocked Hunter would let someone so outspoken about gun control in his movie. That's the end of me watching Mark Wahlberg movies then he just made it on my short list! Thanks for sharing the info, i guess you never can tell about some people, especially Hollyweird.

    The dog was probably deaf already! Shows the value of ear protection. LOL
