Bullshit their L85s are shooting more than 2 rounds before jamming.

“I haven’t seen action like this since Belfast!” Derrick McReary GTA4 🍀

Fun fact, in WW2 there was a British unit that was comprised entirely of lawyers. They called themselves “the devil’s own.”

"Congrats, englishman! You have won a car, yes go ahead and start it."

No Ford Sierras were harmed during the making of this scene

3:08 the moment an IRA soldier becomes a Vietcong soldier

The guy with the tiny MAC 10 on the second floor is a legend. How can you even aim with such a gun?

For those who may not know, the "Devil's Own" was a nickname given to the Connaught Rangers, a British army line infantry regiment that was raised in Ireland from Irish recruits, with its depot in Galway. It was formed by the amalgamation of the 88th (also Connaught Rangers, whose name it inherited) and 94th Regiment of Foot. It earned both notoriety and numerous battle honours along the way.

This is a huge problem in Northern Ireland; big Hollywood stars coming over for the weekend and shooting the place up.

[MrMcChuckles]

Love how these professional soldiers come barreling in without any regard for safety or military tactics

[micorwavedcaprisun]

"Jesus christ half the feckin' armys out there" I love that line

[PathMaster]

YouTube algorithm recommending this on Saint Patrick’s Day is amazing

1:18 - They have perfectly good armored vehicles and this guy decides to take cover behind a car trunk and 1:24 these guys dive behind a hatchback and 1:29 this guy just stands out in the open waiting to get shot. The military could have saved a lot of money by just buying a bunch of old farm lorries!

Honestly, a great film and storyline, with an amazing soundtrack, and a great cast, especially with Harrison Ford the legend, and Brad Pit who literally nailed the accent, and perspective, and in my opinion he was the star of it all. A film, with a very intense storyline to cover, and topic especially during it's time and the controversy they had while filming it, but it was done well, and the one thing I only disliked about it, was the ending, because it cuts so short, but other then that, truly amazing, especially the amount of effort put into it.

The gun fights were actually much more small scale. Hit and run ambushes, bombings, sniper attacks. The IRA rarely fought in big street battles.

[seraph]

Unrealistic, this shows L85 rifles working properly.

[Wanderlust]

Probably one of the best shootout scenes in any movie

[fpsmaverick_]

This feels like when you barricade yourself into a store in GTA 5 and the cops just shoot at it and then at 3:00 they run in like the charge of the light brigade

Jæsus Kreist! Halve the fookin armæ's out dere
