The first BGs who try to get him free pose as LA cops and bust him out of a police bus, and one of them takes out the two cops on the bus with the cliche Beretta 92F that is wearing a suppressor: He offers 100 million dollars to anyone who can spring him out of jail and get him home, which brings out all sorts of BGs who think they're up to the task. The story switches to international billionaire criminal Alex Montel (Olivier Martinez) who is taken into custody. One officer fires a line over the front of the plane with this Mossberg 500: Why they're shooting at that range is questionable, but Street, as well as the others, are shooting this Remington 700 with Leupold 3x9 MK2:Īfterwords, they have to assault a commercial plane and take control from other cops posing as bad guys. Later, the film switches to SWAT officers in training, and the cops are shooting at a 2x4 covered with playing cards at a distance of about 800 yards. Street gives the poppers a go with his Kimber, and when he does a reload he uses this cup-and-saucer hold that makes the pistol recoil harder than it normally does: McCabe (Josh Charles) is firing the same pistol at steel poppers when his gun stovepipes:ĭespite the stovepipe he clearly "fires" the gun about four more times by squeezing the trigger.
