um, i think your mixing up movies here

You're thinking of Daniel Radcliffe. Elijah Wood was in the Lord of the Rings trilogy.

Here's S&Wshooters mercs:

Pieter Van Zyl - Steve Austin

Sean - Cillian Murphy

George - Danny Masterson

Mac Diesel - Terry Crews

Cooper - Russell Brand

Well, those are alot better than my picks. I especially like Terry Crews

Can you please post your picks?

Here are the Merc's weapons:

* Greg's sidearm is a Kimber Warrior II fitted with Pachmayr grips. His main weapon is a Vektor R5 fitted with two magazines clipped together.

* Ares carries a Heckler & Koch Mk. 23 Mod 0 as his sidearm and a Desert Eagle Mk XIX fitted with a stainless frame in .44 Magnum as his back up gun. His main weapon is a Vektor CR-21 fitted with a British SUAT scope.

* Rocco's sidearm is a Heckler & Koch P9S. His main weapon is a FN FAL 50.00.

* Katie's sidearm is a SIG-Sauer P220R Dark Water TB. Her main weapon is a Heckler & Koch MP5K PDW fitted with an M68 Aimpoint Scope and two 30 round magazines clipped together.

* Johnny's sidearm is a Beretta Px4 Storm fitted with a flashlight attachment. His main weapons are a Heckler & Koch MP5A3 fitted with RIS rails, Navy trigger group, M68 Aimpoint scope, and two magazines clipped together.

van Zyl: Randy Couture with a beard like he had in that Jimmy Kimmel sketch (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nSZeXGi3b8M)

Sean: Sean Patrick Flannery

I didn't have anyone for George

Mac Diesel: 50 Cent

I couldn't think of anyone for Cooper

Here are the weapons of S&Wshooter's mercs:

* Pieter's sidearms are a Star Megastar chambered in .45 ACP, a Smith & Wesson 559 (kept in shoulder holster), and a sound suppressed Makarov PM (used for stealth). His main weapon is a M16A1 rifle fitted with a 30 round magazine and jungle camouflage paint scheme.

* Sean's sidearm is a Browning Hi-Power MkIII kept in a Serpa holster. His main weapon is an AKMS with the stock extended.

* Mac Diesel's main weapons are a M60 Machine Gun and a M79 Grenade Launcher.

* Cooper's side arms are a pair of Glock 17's kept in a pair of shoulder holsters. His main weapon is a Heckler & Koch G36K fitted with two magazines clipped together.

* George's main weapon is a Heckler & Koch USP Compact chambered in .40 S&W.

ditch the Makarov, give the 559 a suppressor and put a little S&W 2213 or a cheap .25 on his ankle

I'll give him a Beretta 950 Jetfire and a KS-23 (the fixed stock version. He got the shotgun off a Chechen.).

He can blow people in half with the KS-23 like Dolph Lundgren did with the M79 on The Expendables

Van Zyl also carries an ASP Baton and a kukri.

Any info on the antagonists?

Somali militia

The Enforcer carries a AKS-74U fitted with two magazines taped together "Jungle Style" and carries a 8' barrel Taurus Raging Bull chambered in .454 Casull and kept in a Black Mamba holster. The Militia leader carries a Zastava M88 fitted with a stainless steel finish and wooden grips.

Whats his militias span of control, i he more localized, like in the capital, or does the warlord control like the whole country?

He controls Kismaayo and most of the area surrounding it.

I've decided to replace George's Huey with an aircraft that's based off a V-22 Osprey tiltrotor. It's called an X-94 Phantom triltrotor. It holds 24 people, and has a GShG -7.62 machine gun mounted in the nose.

Can someone suggest a working title? I tried The Mercenary, but that seems too bland.

It sounds like a rip off of Resident Evil. And I don't want your opinion, you conspiracy theorist.

Die Huurlinge

The Mercenaries, but translated to Afrikaans


Just kidding. That sounds horrible

At least it's better than Necessary Evil.

that sounds pretty cool

From the original thread: Didn't we decide that he should have a more useful handgun(s)

Yet here you say: Please, no Mk23s or Desert Eagles.

Also: An M60 AND an M79 is too much bulk (if not weight) for one guy. Remember, a 40mm grenade round is 1/2 pound. You carry a meaningful amount, that's a lot of weight. Maybe an M203 on Pieter's M16A1? Why does Cooper have 2 Glocks on shoulder holsters as well as a G36? Two pistols is bad, two identical pistols in shoulder holsters is worse. Just screams "mall ninja" to me. And why does he have the G36K when everyone else has much older guns? Shouldn't George have a rifle?
It seams to me that you have got Pieter, whose gun choices leave me wondering where he's from (thought definitely some 4th-world backwater)
Sean (his weapons and name SCREAM "I'm IRA" to me.)
Mack Diesel (giant with too much stuff, probably fought in Vietnam. Nice pun there in his name BTW).
Then you have Cooper, whose weapons are modern European HK nut. George just needs a real gun.

Ok, enough about them What i think about Swordfishe's guys:
Greg: good weapons.
Ares: see above
Roco: Nice choices, just give him an Uzi (or MP5, to share mags) for when you don't need a full-size FAL.
Katie: Good choices, but give her an HK33, M4/M733/CAR-15, or something like that for when the bad guys are over 100+ yards away.
Johnny: See Katie.
I still think they need a grenade launcher (Greg or Roco) or an MGL type thing (Katie? Chick with a revolver grenade launcher, nice) A machine gun would be nice too.

Notes for Mandolin:

* Pieter is from Zimbabwe

* Sean is a former member of the IRA

* Johnny has a Milkor MGL.

* Ares has the same handguns since he is a big man.

Anyway, what do you think of my casting choices?

George is a pilot, only has a survival sidearm, but i think the m16a1 should at least be an a2, or a3, since those are cool. And macdiesel is a mall ninja and just likes caryring around rediculous amounts of firepower.

But M16A1's are fucking awesome!

Some people say the same thing about hi point or lorcin, doesnt make it true. Who cares if the a1 looks cooler if it stovepipes constantly.

van zyl really needs one of these:

I based Greg on Christopher Walken's character in The Dogs of War and the Daniel Craig version of James Bond.

I'm not a conspiracy theorist, and what's wrong with my opinion?

It's your opinion on Scientology that bugs me. If they want to take over the government, they would of already done it by now. To me, they're just one of those new wave religions who defend themselves with lawyers.

Anyway, back on topic. I think I might give Katie a customized MP5K-PDW. It has a UMP style stock and sound suppressor. She also keeps a Walther PPK under her pillow in her cabin.

nobody puts a gun under the pillow, it is dangerous and its way quicker to grab it off a bedstand. Under a pillow it would probably just slip off the bed anyway and you would get an nasty surprise adjusting your pillow in the night.

The first scene in Cape Town is when Greg is in a dive bar ordering a Daiquiri with the syrup replaced with Grenadine. The bartender asks if he would like it shaken or stirred, he responds by saying: "Do I look like Sean fucking Connery to you? Stirred."

A: It's not an opinion, it's established fact. People were indicted, tried, and convicted over that.

B: If you'd actually read the article you'd know their objective wasn't to overthrow the government, it was to obstruct investigations into the church's activities.

C: No, they can not overthrow the government. If 11 seceding states couldn't do it, an unpopular cult with mostly mentally ill followers never will.

D: My opinion on or knowledge of any topic doesn't change the fact that Necessary Evil sounds cool.

I would like to take time and quote Vincent from Collateral: You are screwing with my work!.

I would like to defend my casting choice of Greg. You may think that Elijah Wood is a very poor choice for Greg, but people said shit about Daniel Craig when he was cast in Casino Royale and Adrien Brody in Predators. Elijah Wood is a fucking good actor. I he's close to Greg's age and is only three years older then my choice for Katie, Mila Kunis. So say what you want, but I'm not changing.

It's a bit similar to casting Michael J. Fox in Casualties Of War. And Daniel Craig had already played a number of badass roles, the main argument against him as Bond was that he had blond hair. Elijah Wood, on the other hand, was a child star and then a hobbit.

And then a mute serial killer, and later an Oxford student. What do you think of Mila Kunis?
