@Oreobush A self-loading rifle will never be as accurate as a bolt-action can be. the small variations in each loading cycle, e.g. how well sealed the chamber is, always cause a bit of unpredictability. Actual snipers still use bolt-action rifles only because of this. Only marksmen use self-loaders, but thats because they fulfill a completely different role in their troop. the best sniper rifles in the world all are bolt-action rifles. Ofc the ammo is another very important factor, you're right with that, but it's not the only consideration. Coming back to what the dude said; the self-loading mechanism simply is another possible point of failure, increasing the chances of an issue. Your example with a dud is true of course, but it's a bad example for this discussion.

@covodex516

2 жыл бұрын

@Oreobush mostly yes. The big advantage of a bolt-action rifle is the tightly locking bolt, not allowing a lot of movement in the locking position. the locking being purely manual and direct, without a mechanism in between, allows it to be that tight. An additional issue with self-loaders is that part of the gas pressure in the barrel of each shot is lost due to the cycling mechanism and that this loss is not the same with each shot, at least this issue you don't have with lever- or pump-action rifles. I mean, Im not a weapon expert of any sorts; this is just knowledge I picked up over the years from actual experts. But I was told by numerous credible sources that nothing can beat a properly built and well maintained bolt-action rifle in terms of accuracy (and reliability ofc).

I love many things about this scene, and episode, but I just realized, he set up his alibi perfectly too, bc he walked to the bar, then told the bartender he was going to be walking home, and in the end he did truly walk himself home, setting it up perfectly

Surely killing the abuser would have been the prophylactic measure there, yet Mike sees it as the correct course of action that he didn't have the stones to take at the time. I don't know , it's certainly got me thinking about Mike's character a lot more though.

Overall, I think that the tension between the no half measure philosophy and not wanting to kill people just as precaution is what makes Mike's character interesting. It doesn't make him any less consistent, it just makes him more compelling. There is always an internal struggle going on. If you think about it, he never really lives up to the no half measures philosophy. He chooses a half measure with Tuco, Jesse Lydia and with Walt, over and over. We could say it is the very thing that signs his demise.

My favorite part is that Mike doesn't actually have any proof. He just says he is going to prove it as a bluff to get them to take him to a secluded area. "Smart. It's what I would have done." Meaning this is exactly how he planned it.

This is probably the most badass Mike moment to me. He not only got revenge for his son, but he completely outsmarted his sons killers and got two dirty cops off the street.

I disagree. Everyone in the game pretends it’s for the family or for the money but it rarely ever is. Everyone involved had every chance to leave once they had enough to live comfortably but it’s never for the money or for family it’s for the power and thrill that living in the criminal underworld gives them. Walt could’ve stopped cooking meth once he got that 700K but he kept going. Gus could’ve stopped once he’d gotten his revenge on the cartel but we learned he had plans for expanding his own drug empire once they had been taken out. Mike had enough for his family long before the events of BB began but he kept going like all the rest because he enjoyed it. At least Walt could admit that it was all for him at the end. Unlike Mike that died believing it was all for them when his past actions tell a different story.

Mike was the stand out character for me. Not what I expected from an American drama at all. Old, unaesthetic, quiet and sinister. Simply a captivating performance, that couldn’t really work with any other actor.

I love how Mike isn't the first one to shoot, he lets the thugs dig their own graves first before putting them down.

The way they make you think Mike is in trouble and that he's going to go down, and then reveal that it was all planned out all along. Such a nice and satisfying surprise! Love this episode.

That was such a good episode, so powerful! I remember that was the moment I realized that this show is gonna be really great.

Five - O was so heartbreaking Mike was one of the few people in the Breaking Bad universe who was tragic and sympathetic. when Mike started his monologue and crying i was stunned speechless he knew matt was going to die but felt more gulity about corrupting him he wanted matt to stay a good cop but in his fear of losing him he told him he was as corrupt as the cops who killed him. what makes it sadder is that it sounded like Matt idolized Mike and saw him as his hero and when he told him his true nature Matt was heartbroken but accepted it because in a way Matt was probably a realist and so Mike could help him survive the precinct and agreed to take the bribe but sadly Matt's fate was already sealed when he showed hestitation. Jonathan Banks's performance in that scene was so groundbreaking it left me wordless

when he said " and im gonna prove it" . i love how they both look at each other. lmfao thats beautiful acting

My favorite aspect of this scene is how loud Mike's revolver is. They didn't hold back and it literally echoes in the parking lot.

Now we know what happened to his study group a Greendale Community College.

with the dying person crawling away, and mike stepped on his foot to stop him just to finish his revenge added so much to this scene. The writers are just amazing with this little added moment. So much detail and added flare. You dont see that much in action movies. Anyone else writing this would of said boom boom and done, with Mike walking away without issue. But he got hit, and to ensure the audience knew how ruthless Mike was, have the cop crawling away injured, and stopping him then a shot to the head. With mike looking satisfied.

Fun fact: this scene was completely improvised and was supposed to go down in a different way. Jonathan Banks was actually drunk and he proceeded to pull out a revolver and brutally shot the two actors to death. Vince really loved it so he kept it.

powerful scene. love mikey's character: quiet, stoic, very smart, calculating and patient.

Mike is my fave character. Think about it, Mike didn't know for sure that they would turn their backs to him, they could of shot him in the head without giving him a chance to pull his other gun. But Mike didn't care if he did die. There's nothing more deadly than a man who's not afraid of death anymore.

This scene alone is what makes Mike my most favorite character in both Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul. Mike was able to think several steps ahead by not only exposing the two cops who killed his son but also using their own fears against them by having them drive in a very hidden place where Mike had both be killed by his hands. It's poetic justice.
