Alejandro gotta be THAT good to get these kills from a distance.
Edit: I was referring the gate scene
lol love all the call of duty gun armchair experts on here, its a movie!
shareCollectively, some rather implausibly ace shooting from the entire cast.

I personally believe Diaz knew he was going to die. I always theorize that in exchange for his cooperation his daughters don't die as they were just threatened before they got to the house. I assume after Diaz asks wat happens to him next that he was to the truth....u die...but ur family lives so long as u drive to the gate
shareMost of the shooting in this film is pretty unrealistic, FOR ANYONE.
They also really pushed the "instant death" aspect a little far, for my taste.
I don't mind stuff like that in pure fantasy moves (James Bond, Die Hard, etc.), but in a film that is going for gritty realism, it really pulled me out of the narrative.
well i'm not an expert or anything but when you are shot with high caliber assault riffles you go down pretty fast, if not instantly. I mean, just go look up vids (or don't if you're sensitive to that kind of thing) of apple getting shot. I'm about 95% sure they will go down on the first if not following shot (even if 9mm). That other 5% will be if they are under the influence of something or wearing armor.
shareNope.
Just look at the news from 2016.
Not even half of the people shot in that club in Orlando last year even died, much less died INSTANTLY, and the primary weapon used was a SIG MCX. Even of the people who died, 25% (11) survived until at the hospital, which they were not transferred to until after all the shooting had stopped and the shooter had been safely neutralized. (49 killed, 102 shot)
Garza, a military veteran, shot 5 people with an AR-15 (which took over 200 rounds to do!), and all 5 lived.
In Pittsburgh, we had 50 rounds with an AK-47 fired into a group of 15 people at close range. 8 hit, 5 killed.
In Georgia, we had 40+ rounds fired from an Assault Rifle, not even 1 hit.
Take a look at the studies out there, even including larger caliber center-fire rifles (think sniper rifle):
176 shots
126 hits
68% fatal
58% 1-shot stop
9% not even incapacitated

Ex-military does not equate to current special forces. If you think a gun is JUST as lethal regardless of the hands its in, then you're saying the 10s of thousands of hours of training these guys go through is for naught. Hint: you're wrong.
shareI take it you ignored the study I linked to at the bottom of the page? It addresses stopping power for torso and head shots specifically. Nowhere near the Hollywood image.
"Special Forces" are not superheroes. Every round fired being instantaneous death is pure fiction, similar to the 1980's depiction of "Ninjas!", a testosterone-driven power fantasy.
If anyone wants some real-world comparison for Military shooters, just take a look at the Olympics, who have held shooting events for over 100 years. You'll both note that the perfect marksmanship you see in films simply doesn't happen, even for the very best shooters on the entire planet, and that many of the elite have no military background at all.
P.S. I'm not sure what your point is? Some people are better shots than others, therefore this film is realistic? That is one hell of a jump in logic!
It's not just that, Alejandro is supposed to be a former lawyer who guess what, becomes the best shooter in the history of cinema in order to avenge his family's brutal demise. His shooting is so unrealisticly accurate it reminded me of a Rambo film. That, in a film that tries to portray the war on drugs in a realistic way just killed it for me
shareYeah that was pretty awesome and unexpected.
