And what matters ain’t the “who’s baddest,” but the
Ones who stop you fallin’ from your ladder, 'cause
This ain’t no place for no hero.
They have AFGs and are holding the magwell. 
That looks like an Inforce WML.
hahaha was going to bring up the old thread and ask who is watching this final season 
watched both 1 and 2 last night
Oh watching 3 now cant wait for the rest !
Been watching the old seasons on the treadmill. Better to work out to than ‘Deadwood’… More action, more modern boobs.
Looking forward to Season 5.
BTW, Seasons 1 and 2 are available on Amazon Prime TV…for free viewing.
Season 5 is live now or still forth coming?
IIRC July 11ish, or am I getting that mixed up with Ray Donovan.
An English guy with a an American accent and American playing a Brit.
Season 5 (they’re calling it Season 4 at Cinemax) premieres at 10pm on July 31st.
It’s actually an American guy (who’s really half-English) playing a Brit, and an Aussie playing an American.
Sky is ahead of the US so the shows are coming out already
Love that show, wife likes it too.
Some of the tactics are pretty dead on, guess they have a good advisor thats up to date.
possible spoiler
In ep2 when they are in the tower and the american dude boots the door, brit goes in and does a single 180 degree sweep and hardlines to a wall, thats…pretty ****ing accurate.
Are you guys in teh British Isles? I went to the page it talks about having a Sky Id to gain access when you sign up.
From what I remember they have former SAS guys advising them and showing the actors how to hold and move with the guns.
Makes sense, shit looks slick
All those mag well holds when they have an afg though
Different units teach different different things, specifically rifle holding techniques when clearing rooms/holding on a doorway or whatnot, so its not uncommon.
It does look odd. My guess is they have whatever guns the producers and prop despertment decided on using for that scene. The actors have no idea what the AFG is for so they just hold the gun the way the were advised. MP5, AK, AR they seem to hold them the same way. Always at the magwell. They were shown once or twice and just apply it to all.
Still, of all the TV shows on today, Strikeback has the best gun play. Hell, this is possibly the only TV show where I have seen the actors reload during a firefight lol. TV will never be perfect, these guys get it good enough to be believable.
See what I mean?
AK
M4
Not really sure what that is
MP something or other
I’ve always attributed a lot of the holds to the fact that they block the face of the actor and it becomes helmets, guns and eyes and you lose the characters. The support hand out all the way, especially how Costa does it with the over hand grip really hides the face. In pistol the isosceles versus Weaver- the Weaver is more ‘photogenic’.
In the pic above with the MP5, unless he’s got a red dot on the right side of the gun, I have to think that orientation is probably for blocking (or not blocking) reasons.
I’m sure the Art15 movie will have some fun with the concept.
ETA: Easier for flexing biceps with a magwell hold. I do that when chicks are at the range. Double up on the gun show baby.
I live in NJ. I’m lucky I know what an AR is
