WHy not just fly in and arrest them instead... i feel that pummeling them with a friggin attack chopper doesnt really tell the public to stop throwing guns in the fields.

... the ps would kill the pilot and then jump out causing the apache to crash upon some innocents, of course the ps woul make surfe nobody survives.

anyways, that just seemed like unnessesary violence, but it was cool nonetheless... I want my own apache now.

The most obvious mistakes concern the gunfire. Slugs leave a machine gun with a surface temperature in the thousands of degrees. This makes them show up as white-hot even on low-quality normal film. Shooting at night, the bullets would blaze like new-born suns. They also wouldn't make any noise, as there are generally no sound pickups on weapons. Moreover, those gunshots don't even sound right.

There are numerous other problems. The position of the gunship allegedly changes, but there is no shift in the perspective of the camera shots. The believability of people not noticing a gunship within firing range at night in the normally quiet middle of nowhere is also suspect. The "weapon," which looks like nothing but a cylinder glows about as brightly on the infrared pickup as the person carrying it. The vehicles don't look very likely to have been present in Iraq. There is a break in the film sequence, which makes little sense if this is supposed to be an un-redacted version of some military operations footage.

I'm sure there are more mistakes in the film, but I don't feel like watching it again.
