Just watch the pilot and it seems like it might be a good series. Got a lot of familar faces. Damian Lewis and Claire Danes. For those who were Firefly and Stargate fans, Morena Baccarin is in it with some nice T&A shots in a bedroom scene from the pilot ep. If you got HBO give it a whirl.

Re: Homeland

I don't know I've tried to get into this because I have a relative that's an extra in several of the episodes, and honestly I think it kind of sucks. I guess I'm the oddball here. I fell asleep during the first episode trying to watch it, and I thought the second episode was better, but I still kept checking the time to see how much longer I had left. I haven't watched the 3rd yet. Maybe I will get more into it as it keeps going, or maybe it's just not for me, who knows.

Re: Homeland

I really like this show, but residual OCD from my short time in the service is ruining it for me. Every time I see the main character or his buddy in uniform with their civilian hair cut it kills me.

Why wouldn't they cut their hair?

Also, every time someone refers to Brody as Sergeant instead of Gunny or Gunnery Sergeant I'm compelled to comment on it. My wife is getting sick of me sounding like a broken record.

Seems like a couple of simple and obvious things, it almost makes you wonder if the producers are doing it deliberately.

Re: Homeland

Anybody see the NF porn in this latest episode?

There were also a few M4s w/ acogs as well.

Not a bolt guy, can anybody identify what type of bolt this is?

If I had to guess the caliber, I would think it's a .338 LM

Next week's trailer shows the dude practicing w/ it. </div></div>

That type of rifle has been used in lots of films. For some,at first glance think its an AI. Its an interesting design. Blaser designed so the bolt is a straight pull back. No bolt rotation takes place, the handle is pulled rearward to release the bolt when you cycle it. I heard a while back there was a QC issue that caused catastrophic failure and resulted in serious injuries, not sure if anyone died. It did drop them in popularity. Also, if I am not mistaken, the barrel and action are all one piece. Kind of makes a rebarrel tough.

Re: Homeland

Looks like they teased us with all the nudity in the first couple episodes , then it all went away. lol Otherwise it seems to have enought twists and turns to keep it interesting

Re: Homeland

The barrel IS the action and it's very easy to change calibers, just remove 2 screw and change the barrel.
The incident regarding the rifle blowing up was cause by a reloader using pistol powder, try that with any rifle and let me know how it goes for you(sarcasms in case your wandering...)
The rifle can shoot sub moa all day long.
If you watch the Tour Of Duty ; Australia Secret War, you will see that rifle being use by the SAS.

Re: Homeland

Thanks for the additional information gents, I have watched several parts of the SAS program on youtube, but must have missed seeing the rifle in question.

Re: Homeland

Am I all f**ked up for really wanting the vest to go boom....I must admit, I honestly didn't know if he was or wasn't going to go boom until obviously it was over.

That kinda ruined the whole show for me, the boom would have made it a fantastic show. Now the writers and execs just saw it's popularity and money making potential and had to ruin a great single season show by making it open for a second one.

Boom = awesome show

No Boom = Jack Bauer ghey, predictable cookie cutter stuff.
