If someone plans to give this "Tears of the Sun" a bad review, then you can immediately leave people don't read this article, those who have not seen it are best to pick a relaxing time to see one of the most regrettable pearls in the history of this film... I will try to omit the shortcomings of this film because it is such a classic in my mind. The film may lack depth, but it has excellent cinematography, perfect control and plenty of restored gear.
For the sake of a comprehensive and uncribing review, I will leave Roger Albert's analysis as a reference.
Like Black Hawk Down, it's an early 21st-century military action film that focuses on the bloody machinations that take place in the Jungles of Nigeria. Although the film is widely regarded as a poorly made film, the film was released less than a year after the invasion of Afghanistan, poking at the audience's itch and receiving public acclaim. Put the army in an unknown theater where the audience can applaud the bloody battles of the good guys without worrying about the current war on terror that might be written on the streets of their homes.
Rather, it actually assumes the role of narrative, or to put it bluntly – how the Western world views Africa, we see the beauty and ugliness of it transcending cultural barriers... What do we see on the screen in front of us? The bad guys grimacingly slaughtered civilians in brightly dressed civilians and white missionaries and doctors of the Virgin Mary, purely to guide the seals out.
It is worth noting that director Anthony Foo, having directed a police blockbuster such as "Training Day", he clearly knows how to play to the advantages of an actor and draw a lot of color for the actor's career. (Cole Hauser has been essentially the same tough guy role ever since.)
I think one of the reasons the film resonates with so many nylon off-the-field parties is that it blends the military chic of the turn of the millennium with the typical Hollywood storyline template—the light-hearted gags mixed with heavy, tragic clip intervals that cover all of our high-energy moments, from delivery to the infiltration of the village, to the climax of the full-court firefight and the final battle attack.
There are a lot of iconic gear in the movie, some of which can be bought cheaply... Others can be challenging. One of the things that I've always liked about Bruce Willis (specifically the character of Bruce Willis, who plays Di Waters is the subject of this dissection) is that, like the actor himself, his characters are usually left-handed with a gun... It means I have a chance to find the right gear I know – I'll do my best.
I'd like to point out that I'm certainly not the first person to be interested in the gear in the movie, and when I was choreographing this shipment a few years ago, I relied on a few sources to get the details, and here's a big thank you to Mundo AirSoft, who compiled a very detailed list of equipment for most of the main characters, and I'll check the details just like they did. What you see below should be worthy of praise from your readers, so, folks, let your hands and feet go and praise it.
You'll find that many of the equipment brands that appear in the movie may have gone down the altar of individual equipment, and I dare say that today's brands are more similar to FMCG and tide brands for equipment players. Knowing this is great for your wallet, but some old school stuff is hard to find, and a true one-on-one cut of detail may cost as much tickets as you would now have to save an active TIER1 special battle.
We started with the combat suit, the seals in it are basically wearing M81 woodland BDUs... In this film, most of the combat suits are soaked with river water, sweat or rain. Velcro stamps and rough Velcro for stamps didn't exist, in those days, hiding effects were more important than pretending, and if you're obsessed with armbands, just sew that thing firmly. Inside the BDU, most of the team members wear black sleeveless vests, and it is clear that Mr. Willis likes his vests.
As for the head gear, the SEALs mixed the Bandana hat, the flat-topped forest hat, the Scrim net scarf and Bruce Willis's shiny head. The boots outfitted were Danner Acadia's 8-inch black boots, which were popular in the late '90s, and there were a lot of Navy SEALs who still kept them today, but that wasn't much of a cheap boot on the market... Many other units have shifted from high-top strap-on black combat boots to more civilian mid-to-high-top hiking boots – such as Meyler or Salomon.
Speaking of belts, I have to say, Black Hawk Race High, all Black Hawks! Everyone uses the black belt of the Black Hawk series! There is a pair of BTS magazine packs on each side of the belt (two of which have Talon flex inserts, which were used as the magazine storage material in the early days), and the holster is a black Black Hawk holster! Omega left-handed gun holster with two straps. I have the Omega Triple Submachine Gun Magazine Pack, which is more comfortable to use than you might think (I think the rubber grip is excellent, better than the Sofa Lilan) and far superior to VIPer in terms of durability and structural quality.
The grand finale of the three pieces on the belt is a knife (yes, three!). He chose to bring a knife to war! This is a SOG X-42 Recondo with a custom K sheath, and you may have to struggle to find a suitable alternative, but the TS blade type can rely on a large number of training blades to mix the beads, and the K sheath is not really completely undecided (see my crafts below for details).
The central part of this set of equipment is the weight-bearing kit, which revolves around a combat H brought by black hawk... It's not the easiest thing to find (I haven't seen exactly 100% of the same items available in the UK), and includes the standard USGI LC3 pistol belt and a pair of standard ALICE system M16 ammunition packs. The bag on both sides holds 3 standard magazines and a pair of M67 fragment grenades per bag... or TAG 67 Survival Game Grenade (confirmed by myself, perfectly suitable).
A Black Hawk's ass bag (another difficult project) is hung on the back with a USGI clasp (I suggest a pair of snaps would be more appropriate, after all, you'll have to spend the whole day in the war zone, be prepared). The last sub-package to be mentioned is the Black Hawk ALICE System TAC Vest Radio Bag, which is attached to the backpack, rather than relying on the belt itself to carry important communication components... I don't mean to "don't communicate" at all, don't make up for nothing, there will be deviations in the future reports, you are responsible...
The final stroke is the D buckle on the left shoulder and the Emerson police knife (again kydex sheath) on the right shoulder. You can replace these with right-handed ones, no one will mind, after all, left and right skimmers can't ask for it...
Next, we'll talk about some small accessories, perfecting the details or counting The Nomex fingerless gloves, the early G-Shock watches and communication collocations... A TEA LASH throat microphone and LASH 2 PTT and the first generation of headphones are what you can't get around, Z TAC has made a whole set of these communication collocations at some point, I actually don't recommend the things that can't stand the rigors of all day long of fierce conflict... If you can buy it, if you want the silkiest experience and the most perfect real soldier texture, then buy the real product. I recommend buying a well-known brand of headphones, at least after-sales and service can keep up, so that you do not have to be in a dilemma in 100% appearance and function restoration. The radio is Motorola's saber, but it's so tightly packed in the bag that you can use anything to fool around... Even if the radio station in the bag is Baofeng, it will not attract much attention. One thing you'll certainly never find is the Emerson Kandahar knife on his leg (only 20 of which have been produced so far), which can still be seen in the following work.
Now let's talk about the weapons stuff...
Bruce Willis uses the M4A1 carbine stock, which is an old-fashioned CAR15 carbine stock with a long rubber pad on the stock and a RAS handguard from KAC at the front. This was added with a large number of accessories tailored to the type of missions such as the small rangers of the 2000s that were expected to participate. A KAC front grip, KAC wood protector, and a DLAP laser sight with a heightened rail attached to it (while the G&P DBAL is really cool, but big brother you really can't use it), it's located on the upper rail in front of the field of view, with a rattail switch attached to the front handlebar. Ares/STAR managed to do it a few years ago, but I've never seen a guy with this thing... If anyone has, please let me know!
The optics mounted on Bruce's M4A1 are aimpoint M2/M68 melee optical sights, with a base that looks like a GG&G sight cantilever base, while the Larue tactical sight cantilever base looks better and more original than the other 90% base (it also has the added benefit of a battery backup). As for the reason the base is "backwards" mounted to mount the PVS-14 night vision goggles to the weapon (as briefly seen at the beginning of the movie), it's not quite a good fit to attach your scope to the front-cut RAS handguard (especially since it's a non-free-floating design), but I guess if that's your only option, then you can make good use of what you have. Unfortunately, in some ways of the movie, it seems like a big bug... For many years, I've heard people debate about this (and the reasoning that there are possibilities in real life), but I believe it's a real dresser...
The rear mechanical sight was almost certainly the GG&G A2 rear sight (the D-boys used it in the SPR Mk12 Mod1 they sold), and the silencer (not Bruce's) on the front of some rifles was unknown, but the KAC NT4 QD silencer was a universal silencer on the M4 carbine in that era.
The gun belt used is almost certainly a home-made strap or similar material, however, if you want a ready-made option, you can use the Tactical Tailor Two-Point Belt or the Black Hawk's Gun Belt, the Tactical Two-Point Belt is your wise choice (of course, you have to choose the black version, because all the really crazy cool hanging sky equipment is always black).
Inside the squad you have a lot of weapons to choose from, in short, there are characteristics and compulsions, and it is also very good to make... Some of the weapons used by the squad included an unrailed version of the Sig Sauer P226 pistol, which served as a self-defense weapon, as well as a set of M60E4 machine guns, the M249 Para machine gun and the M1A (the civilian version of the M21 was completed), and an improved version of the Remington M870 with a neck reduction. Speaking of carrying gear, there are also many options available, and I added a four-bush camouflage LBV suspension to the TOTS portability system, and attached a set of ALICE straps. This is not true, but people still relish it (unfortunately, I don't have a picture of that part)
The most sneering thing in the whole outfit is the HK Mk23 pistol... The reason for using this pistol in the movie is probably to touch a certain Japanese video game that focuses on stealth missions... Whether you add a silencer or not, to be honest, no unit has seriously used this thick and coarse benzene thing as standard equipment.
Overall, the set is based on the "3-day LRRP" look you intend to play, with lots of ammo (6+1 standard magazine and 4+1 Mk23 magazines) and a small amount of clothing and equipment, full of killer weapons, nothing to bend, and serving to kill. I personally think that in the back of the water bladder and ass bag can put some non-urgent needed materials such as MRE, do not listen to the "cell splinter" into the brain of the keyboard man grinning, in real combat no one will play the game set (such as wearing PVS-14 night vision during the day, or stuffing food in the butt bag).
This outfit is perfect in the woodlands and can maintain balance with the environment... You don't need to stuff your sub-bag into the bulge, to be honest, if you go down in the jungle and then dress up very "attack team", it is estimated that I will throw this pile of nylon into the stove for one day.
Like all styling outfits, this outfit includes a wide range of environments that fit... In some of the shots in the film, the uniforms look black, or brown, worn out... It's a reflection of the details that separate great styling from less than satisfactory styling. The choice of fabrics and the careful use of Velcro can effectively avoid making noise in the jungle, and the PTT in this set is also a versatile all-weather choice. In fact, if you wear this set on a rainy day, it is light and loaded, and the readers will secretly laugh.... Oh, and don't forget the tactical camouflage oil paints that the whole world can find! w
