1953677 oh course it's not really going all realistic, it's for the love of action, it's an action book. Take for example Predator, you've got Jesse Venture, an ex-navy seal, and the guy carries around this friggin 200 pond gatling gun through the jungle, no one in real life is going to carry that thing around during a rescue mission but hey it was unreal when he started shooting that thing. Yes I know in real life that a smart Canadian soldier isn't going to use outdated equipment, he would most likely have chosen a C7 rifle and a Browning 9mm high power for a sidearm but, it just wouldn't really have the magic of action sequence.
And who could ever forget Commando, when Schwarzenegger took like 6 guns with him and completely destroyed an entire resort all while making quippy one liners, "Let off some steam Bennett.
Yes I understand that in real life a 'True' military combatant wouldn't be foolish enough to carry around this kind of equipment but it makes it cool for the action sequences

Jesse Ventura is no SEAL. Never was, and never will be. Ask any current USN SEAL (especially the one who knocked him on his ass with one punch ).
That's where me an Hollywierd (as my father and I call it) are at odds. I'm more interested in the Average Joe, who gets sucked into a situation where he has to do above average things to survive (see Die Hard series) or things like Band of Brothers. I do enjoy the nice curbstomp every once in a while with big guns and even bigger men, but I need to know why it is like that and not just have the MC have a bunch of plot armor. Eh, it's a taste thing, I guess.
1953847 all right... now in all retro spect I don't think your an ass in any way, you're just giving me helpful tips and I aprreciate it completely. Oh boy I have alot of work to do. And as for the talking with a combat vetran I was working at CFB Borden last year and usually talked with the Warrant Officer, he was a good guy and I liked him, he'd usually talk about things like war medals and what not but wasn't to much into the whole talking about actual killing and the more horrible things. I remember the one time my boss was complaining that she didn't like the knees pads because the friggin strapps dug into the back of her leg and the Shaun, the warrant officer was like "Really? I used to have to friggin crawl around in rocks and gravel that cut up my knees and I would kill to have those new pads", when I look back now I miss those days
1953906 sorry I meant navy, I must've been thinking of another actor, I meant navy. Yeah I like the more 'Based on true story' movies, like The Pacific or like you said Band of Brothers was good. Now that I'm thinking about it I was like "Shit, you hit a target at twenty five meters with a .45 five times in five seconds", was it silouette or 10x8? either way that's some pretty nice shooting. Funny story was when I went with my buddy who had his restricted liscense, Cause I'm in canada and we have to have a Restricted liscense to own handguns, anyway so we're at the range and I have this old Russian SKS and I'm just pecking at 100 yard 10x8s and he has this sweet S&W1911 replica and he looks to me and says, hey if I let you use my gun can I use yours and I was like okay so we traded and I look to this 25 yard siloutte and I got this kind of like feeling of a hothead so I friggin point the gun at it and it was only two and a hlf seconds and I ripped off all the rounds in the pistol and the grouping was aweful, two and a half foot group pattern and I look over to my buddy who is looking at me and he says "I have never seen that pistol shoot so fast".
1954264 More or less it was just for the story that he didn't get back into the Canadian forces, in real life if he was traumatized like he was then he probably would've recieved a medical discharge not spend a few months in a field hospital. It's just one of those stories where little things don't quite make sense. like Mack Bolan, the guy served in Vietnam but yet the newest books he's fighting modern day terrorists, but that would make him at least 60 years old yet in the story he is defined as late 30s.

Yeah, my dad's like that too. Was in the USN for a while. He never liked talking about some of the combat tours he did. One of which he lost a good friend that was in the British Navy. His friend's widow sent my dad the British sailor's beret. He still looks at it every once in a while. However, the kind of questions I always try to ask is the more, "textbook" type, "How should this guy act/talk/react/think?" I get better reactions from those kinds of questions. The error that pushed me over the edge was the idea that a Sergeant told a Lieutenant what to do. Unless that Lieutenant was frozen in the middle of the battlefield, an NCO would never talk to an Officer like that (or at least without expecting insubordination charges).
Ah POGs, they never can possibly understand what it means to truly rough it. When I was in training, we had to do some crawling around, and our knees were getting rubbed raw and cut up by the dirt and gravel. By the end, I think all of us were bleeding a little from some small scratch or cut. It hurt, but we did like we were ordered to and completed the training. Our Battalion Master Sergeant had some words with the Cadets in charge of the training afterward though for forgetting to issue us knee- and elbow-pads. Some fun times in Cadet-land, and even though the leadership didn't really understand what they were doing half the time, still had some great memories. Especially when the leadership royally screwed the pooch.

Jesse Venture is the actor who claims he was a SEAL (and he was one based on a technicality, his unit was reformed into the current USN SEALs). He doesn't act like one, however, nor has he ever gone through the training today's SEALs have.
I always try to find a nice way to give "harsh" constructive criticism without sounding like an ass. To date, I still can't find it. Blunt seems to be the way I always default to. However, I never stay firm on my opinion when it comes to a story. I can see a good story here, but it needs a little work. As it is, I firmly believe that it has earned my down vote. Once it gets edited (which it does sound like you are going to do) that down vote can easily switch to an up vote. There are very few stories that I have ever read that I just gave up on completely. I wouldn't have wasted my time with a review if I thought that this couldn't get better. I'll check back on this story from time to time and see if it has. This is not the worst story I've ever read by far.

Just going based off information provided by the writer. Even so, compare a P90 with the Thompson and even with enchanting the Thompson (which why wouldn't you enchant all of the guns) the P90 is still the-... Sorry, I'm something of a military gun- ().
.....so no one even attempted to levitate them down....come on armor you're trained for this s*it quick reflexes and all that comes with the occupation
This makes me feel as though that the crime is only happening because of the human occupation in equestria
