007 Doesn’t Listen to Biden

Since Skyfall just got released on DVD and Blu-Ray, I picked up a copy to add to my James Bond Collection.

While watching it I noticed in the final battle James Bond is armed with his Father’s old Double Rifle, and dumps it as soon as he can pick up an H&K 416 rifle from a fallen mercenary.

Strange that such a highly trained assassin and spy would dump what our Vice President would consider one of the greatest offensive weapons for such a hard-to-use and innacurate variant of Eugene Stoner’s AR-15!

Of Course Sam Mendes is a Brit, and like most Subjects of the British Crown, he obviously has minimal experience with firearms, and the film is FILLED with odd gun choices and idiosyncrasies.

Still the wife and I who have been laughing in Joe Biden’s face had a good laugh at that observation.

    That old double would stop most anything, but the shoulder would be TALKING to you about it… Just sayin…

      My Friend’s Dad decided to question my shooting ability when his .460 Weatherby mag was on the firing line. I ran a full box of 5 full-house loads through it, and kept them all on paper just wearing a T-shirt.

      My shoulder was surprisingly fine…a little tender. My Right BICEP was KILLING me the next day (OK next WEEK) from pulling that beast of a rifle into my shoulder! 😀
