I just watched I am Legend on blu-ray and they had a special feature of his weapons, which I though was pretty interesting.
SPOILER ALERT
In the special feature they said first they were contemplating on a bigger gun to show Robert Neville's(Will Smith's character) wanting to put down the creatures quickly but decided on the M4 series for its compactness and down range stopping power. They they tricked out one for him (like its that hard to do) with a "special" optics and light.
The interesting part was they talked about Will's weapon handling capability and the training he has gotten on this and other movies. They said they "relaxed" his style of handling weapons in the beginning when he is the only person alive, but picks the safety up when he meets up with the lady and boy at the end.
This is what got me thinking, as much as we bash movie start and movies in general, sometimes they do get some training on how to handle a weapon.
I also remember in "Dom" the crew went somewhere in the Russian sphere of influence to get some tac training.
So, what movie start / movies have and decent to good gun play in them?
P.S. You still have to love at the end when he is running around with the M4 in auto and the mag runs out, how the gun makes that click,click,click,click noise and the ACOG with the POSP reticle.
