    When the SAS used to shoot through car windows like that, they were wearing goggles and baclavas to protect against the hot brass and splintered glass, ear protection too if available. You fire a rifle inside a car you won't be able to hear much of anything for a while, and brass and glass will be flying everywhere. It looked like they were actually using live rounds on a closed set for a few of those scenes . . . not sure how they could've gotten those effects otherwise.

    They used blanks during the shootout, with the intention of redubbing the sound in post production. Michael Mann liked the sound of the blanks and the echo off the surrounding buildings so much, he decided to keep those sounds in.

    My favorite all time movie. I have about every copy made of it to include the one with 'the making' disc included. Mann is a crazy stickler for realism. He sent everyone to firearms training, actually made them do many of the scenes at the range with live ammo with a very high end firearms instructor. He also made them put on makeup and case the actual bank used for the scene after going through training with real bank robbers. The shootout scene was shot with full powder blanks to add to the realism and done in downtown LA on a closed set. The entire crew was shellshocked for days after shooting the scene, they said the actual sound and the reverb off of the skyscrapers was the most horrific thing they has all heard. After sound editing did the shooting special effects overlay, the entire production crew knew it was garbage and not even close to the horror the original shooting sounds. They used the full-blanks soundtrack.

    So ya, Ridge is right. He just wasn't as wordy as I was.
    Mom's comin' 'round to put it back the way it ought to be.

    Not to mention, Mann also went for realism in Miami Vice (the film- Mann also worked on the TV show)- for the .50 cal scene and the end shootout- both with impact and sound. He's one of my favorite directors... ever.

    Real time draw and shoot by the bad guy, a GM USPSA shooter.

    (bad video... he shoots two center mass, one to the mellon. They were going to speed up the tape, but he convinced them to shoot one real time. They didn't shoot a second run.)
