HEAT Vests in action

11.5" pencil barrel on an A1 upper. Ultra light little combo (couple oz over 5 lbs). I've always loved playing with those. Probably not much lethality (barrel velocity of 2,650 fps), but fun on a bun.
 
Shooting a stage while wearing an eighty-eight pound duffel bag is an interesting twist.

One of those things that looks really easy in a movie. But not so easy in real life.

Movie trivia 101. The shootout scene was choreograph by ex-SAS, hence the licence plate 2LUP.
 
Yeah, I never got around to building a real shorty. Hopefully one day I get to build one. I'd stick with a pencil barrel but wouldn't go full retro and go carry handle, I think it'd be awesome with a micro-rds.

The velocity myth again... That only applies to M855 and M193. I'm sure if you got shot with anything traveling at a velocity over 1000 fps you would not enjoy the results and may well die from the injuries. Best performance with 855 or 193 is achieved above 2700 fps. The projectiles will still yaw down to 2500 and will very much punch holes in you at much lower velocities.

HEAT is extremely overrated, everything besides the opening scenes of the bank heist are pretty terrible.

Given that they built that movie bank heist out of a real life event I'm leaning towards it being a pretty good movie as opposed to trash like Taken

If an SAS choreographed and designed bank heist and shootout (with some beautiful weapons handling) is trash, I wonder what counts as good?
