>Speilberg didn't understand how guns work, he thought you just fired them at something and it would kill/destroy that thing
Spielberg allegedly has one of the finest collections of firearms in Hollywood.
Charlton Heston was impressed by the size of the collection.
no, the tank got hit by a P-51 dropping a bomb on it.
Tank guns have breaches that are closed at all times aside from when the gun is being loaded, so a bullet would never go into the tank cabin
that would make absolutely no sense. That would at worse, kill the commander. The Saving private Ryan tank was a dogshit T34-85, and even as shitty and prone to exploding as they where, they wouldn't explode from pistol to the periscope.
I remember how infantry got really close to another tank. A soldier put his gun inside the driver's view port and shot him. Was it that easy? Is there no glass? And then the soldiers opened up the commander's hatch from the outside. Was that possible? Could the commander lock it from the inside?
No, the hatches are able to lock. This is a pretty basic feature in all tanks, but Spielberg is a fricking moron, and basic things like door locks didn't well with his vision of nazi vengeance porn.
in wwi, yes. There were vulnerabilities in either the german or french tank i forget and one of the armies figured out you could run up stick a grenade, run away and minimize those trench busters.
>A soldier put his gun inside the driver's view port and shot him.
The Tiger 1 has 70mm of layered glass in the view port and an armored plate that lowers over it. There's a sort of periscope the driver is supposed to be using with the armored plate but that was removed in late war models. The driver can remove the glass from the inside if it gets shattered.
It's conceivable that a tank would have to operate without the glass if it got damaged or something. The Germans were taken aback by D-day so they could have scrambled it from wherever just to get something heavy into the field to resist the landing, whatever condition it's in.
The view ports had glass yes. Could have been damaged and removed i suppose. I love the movie but the tactics the Germans used in it were dumb. They brought an open top tank destroyer into the city for instance which makes zero sense. There were cases of extremely late war, brand new fresh recruits getting rushed into shit they had no idea about and making dumb decisions so its not the most unrealistic thing ever I guess, but once you know the tiger is really just a t34 with fake shit on it you can't unsee it, the turret is too far forward.
This is no less dumb. Not only is that improbably accurate, Miller (and by extension the audience) would've heard the plane and the bomb falling, and a bomb capable of blowing up a Tiger would've killed Miller too.
SPR is a cheesey 1950s war movie with R rated special effects. I'm genuinely shocked they had the self restraint to not include the cliched scene where everyone talks about what they'll do back in the world and the guy who is gonna propose to his gal gets shot shortly thereafter, because they included every single other sappy by the numbers war film cliche without any hint of irony or deconstruction.
Wasnt Miller shot multiple times and died around 2 minutes after the tiger blows up? He could be losing his senses and failed to noticed the planes. It is a bit silly thougheverbeit
theoretically if the gun is loaded with anything explosive with an impact fuze it will frick up the gun atleast. Even if not, the bullet would frick up the barrel.
Thats 45Acp in a nutshell for you son. 2 World wars.

How do Americans portray their military in their movies >a single wounded American soldier with colt m1911 destroys million tanks, infantry, jet fighters
How is American military actually like in reality >Iraqi kid throws a cow shit at navy seal soldier and soldier calls for massive air strike on a kid, then the kid fricking dies and soldier be like: WOW I'M SUCH A BADASS!
There was a joke in WW2 that went like this: >If you see soldiers from far away, and you don't know where they are from, shoot at them. >If they are Germans, you'll get machine gun fire. >If they are British, you'll get sharpshooter fire. >If they are Americans, you'll get nothing for half an hour, and then you'll get pummeled by bombers and artillery.

It always makes me laugh when I remember how "badass Marine veterans" of Iraq and Afghanistan joined the Reddit legion in the Ukraine and within 48 hours were deserting it en masse and making their wives post videos on Tiktok begging people to help buy them plane tickets home because they couldn't handle warfare where the enemy can actually artillery/air strike you back. The only time in their whole history where the Americans fought a real war where the enemy wasn't badly outnumbered numerically and materially and hadn't already been ground down by other forces was the Southerners in the US Civil War.
tanks are strong but they are not invincible like some kind of capeshit super hero. hanks character knew that there was a chance to destroy the take and he did.
He was using Hanzo steel bullets The metal is folded hundreds of times over following traditional Japanese methods. Hanzo bullets can shoot through any tank.
I THNK HE'S TRYING TO KEEP IT STRAIGHT BUT HE'S COMPLETELY KNACKswhoops I had caps on, I defo am not shouting at you, but he's completely knackered
was a briddy tough day
It depends on your system. If you had a rules lite/narrative system or something with a “fate” like currency you could easily do this as a sort of freak occurrence that could not be repeated.
If you were playing a very crunchy or in-depth system the odds are astronomical if not outright impossible. But seeing as almost all modern ttrpgs are played by zoomers who can’t conceive of anything not published by WotC or Hasbro you’d most likely be using a poorly adapted D&D 5e modern format published by some internet “celebrity”. And even though the rules would handle this kind of man v mech gameplay terribly, your DM would most assuredly look up from their phone and say “what? Oh that’s awesome, yeah it totally works! Just roll int or something.”
Tom hanks loaded the clip with 5 normal 45. colt bullets first for close by fighting.
the next 3 were exploding fragmentation shells in case he had to shoot down tanks and planes.
He carefully curved the revolver to match the angle of the tanks periscope which then completely exploded because his gas tanks were still pretty full.
He probably was out of hand grenades because throwing a handgrenda down the barrel would have been far more easy and effective.
Did you know americans made the grenades similar to baseballs because most american know how to throw baseballs well but their enemies didn' t? >prolly laying it on a bit too thick
Yes, a magazine is the thing that holds the bullets outside of the gun, A clip is when the bullets are inside the magazine.
The rest of what he said made total sense though
He didn't shoot the bullet down the barrel. Tanks like that have 15,000 hit points and the other Americans did 14,999 hit points of damage so when Tom Hanks finishes the last point the tank instantly combusts.
Speilberg didn't understand how guns work, he thought you just fired them at something and it would kill/destroy that thing

Will he ever make another ww2 kino or is he destined for mediocrity for the rest of his life?
ww2 was like a hundred years ago. Let it rest. There's other events that need to be kinofied.
He's a israelite that's born in 1946. There won't be anyone like him to make WW2 flicks after he's gone.
yes you just have to aim it right at the weak spot just like star wars
only when using a colt government m1911 shooting gods caliber heheheh
I use .45 cause they don't make a .46 i tell you what

9 is the number of the ego, the human number. Certainly not god's number, those are 7 and 3.
10mm the divine mm,
Surely you could blow up a tank with 10mm
10 is much smaller than 45
45-10=30 yeah no shit
He rolled a nat 20
and confirmed it. Plus maxed out dice damage on the roll.

As expected of Spielberg
imagine being this unable to enjoy a simple joke..
no, the tank got hit by a P-51 dropping a bomb on it.

It went through the periscope, brainlet.
that would make absolutely no sense. That would at worse, kill the commander. The Saving private Ryan tank was a dogshit T34-85, and even as shitty and prone to exploding as they where, they wouldn't explode from pistol to the periscope.
yes they would
/thread
tom hanks used exploding bullets dumbass

>And then the soldiers opened up the commander's hatch from the outside. Was that possible? Could the commander lock it from the inside?
He found the key under the welcome mat.
how did he know it was a welcome mat did he speak german to?
No, the hatches are able to lock. This is a pretty basic feature in all tanks, but Spielberg is a fricking moron, and basic things like door locks didn't well with his vision of nazi vengeance porn.
Try to unlock your hatch when tank is on fire and every second matters.
in wwi, yes. There were vulnerabilities in either the german or french tank i forget and one of the armies figured out you could run up stick a grenade, run away and minimize those trench busters.

Locks are to inefficient for Germans
Watch the Big Red One or Kelly’s Heroes for fun tank combat that doesn’t take itself too seriously.
Why was the commander even wounded and climbing out in that scene, from what i remember they only blew of a roadwheel with the sticky bomb

that was a pretty good shot. timed perfect. the airplane dropped the bomb and he shot it right when it hit the tank and the bomb exploded.
nice.
He shot the bomb?
pretty sure that is what happened but it's been awhile since I watched the movie. i remember greased sock IEDs too but don't remember if he shot one of those to blow up the panzers
You're a moronic person
Since he ranked up to captain he unlocked the exploding rounds.
.45 ACP packs a punch.

The tank operator accidentally dropped a grenade inside. Talk about good timing
Holy shit there are morons in this thread who actually believe the .45 killed the tank!
Reminder to everyone in here that if you pretend to be moronic for too long, you will in fact become moronic.
Shitpost at your own peril.
Joke’s on you. I’ve always been moronic.
pretend?
did you watch the movie?
This is unironically more accurate than Daryl blowing up a tank by putting a grenade in the barrel in the walking dead
Yes if you shoot the tip of the shell it will explode.
He was using Hanzo steel bullets The metal is folded hundreds of times over following traditional Japanese methods. Hanzo bullets can shoot through any tank.
a .45 could probably detonate a tank if shot into the fuel tanks and you were very, very lucky
>the fuel tanks
please point out the fuel tanks on this tiger
Unironically how do they fill these fellas up?
They come pre-filled from the factory.
Just like a car. There's a port behind the turret next to the exhaust
Your car came with a turret? I can't find mine.
>his car doesn't have a turret
And you wonder why you're an incel...
I'm not an incel im a volcel. my wife's boyfriend said it must be an American thing.
(I'm from Sweden if that matters)
They come pre-filled from the factory. When you run out of diesel you have to get a new tank
Why didn't the Allies ban non-refillable fuel tanks?
In 1944? The Germans were asking themselves the same thing.
He had the instakill power-up
Why was he swinging his arm like that? Was he curving the bullet?

I still find people that genuinely don't understand 'big guy for you' sometimes. Always fun.
It means "the tank, the"
I figure he shot the tank's explosive round either loaded or as it was shot.
Why did he decide to pointlessly sacrifice his men to protect a tiny meaningless bridge in the middle of nowhere instead of just pulling back.
He was trying to imitate Jake McNiece: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ucJDzgc8_cI&t=14m12s
>meaningless bridge
Logistics are everything in warfare
I'm still confused. If his name is Ernest, why isn't it called Saving Private Ernest?
>ernest goes to (concentration) camp
In Ameriisraelite propaganda? Yes.
Man that tiger tank looks like shit. It looked better in my memory.
I mean look at how big that handgun is, no wonder it could easily blow up a tiger
with the power of yahweh on your side, anything is possible
The tank had been hit by a bunch of handguns before that, it only had one HP left
