Holy crap...did this place die off. Sorry about that. I got rather busy with other things, and lost some of my thoughts about FMJ. I'll post some more questions eventually, but I'm going to need to watch the movie about 80 more times in order to dig up some more, interesting questions.

That works. It looks like you'll have to be the one to reply to the answer, though. Even I don't have a clue.

Hmm...it's been a while since this trivia was last updated. Probably due to the fact that I hadn't watched the movie in so long. However, I just recently saw it again, and I've got another question.

This one's going to be worth 10 Milbucks.

Here's the scene: It's just after the Lusthawk Squad moves into town and there's a small firefight. Between the fight and when Crazy Earl (I think that's his name) shoots a couple of VC soldiers running across the road, there's something that's rather odd that happens. It's only odd when you notice that if this person had already done this, he wouldn't have needed to do it again.

The question is: What is it that's rather odd about this section?

Nobody have a clue? Or is no one trying?

I'll give a hint:

It's got to do with his rifle.
