Those aren’t “sub machine guns”. A sub machine gun fires a pistol caliber. I wouldn’t fire warning shots.
I don’t know. Didn’t look at all to me they were firing warning shots there at all.
If you watch the film carefully, it looks like the shooting is extremely inaccurate, but when you take into account the target and elevation of the shooters, you realize that the splashes on the other side of the speedboat are not off target, but pretty close to where a round would hit after missing someone in the boat.
And you also see they have them in a crossfire, because the two guys back on the starboard quarter are firing from a dramatically different angle and elevation.
I thought it was a remarkable display, they chopped those guys in that boat up, and weren’t using auto to do it. I was impressed.
I think the guys up top were on the starboard wing of the bridge.
Looked like they did a good job with the sandbags, too.
I admit I could be seeing this all wrong, I can't shoot worth a damn because of my eyes, but...the angles looked this way to me. (I know, not the same kind of ship, but the general layout, and the middle shooters looked like they were at the same elevation as the 1st shooters forward of them)
