Ah, yes, thanks for reminding me.
I only remember the drill carnage in that movie being implied, not shown, though (Googling confirms my memory is accurate, too). This movie leaves nothing about the drilling to the imagination. And it's done to a kid.
I'm pretty sure that sets a new bar for depiction of Islamist savagery in cinema.
As for your second question, I would answer with "assorted". Considering the cooperation that this movie had from the naval special warfare community, I guess I expected better. The fact that I am an IMFDB member means that I'm more likely to notice inaccuracies like Kyle carrying a SIG 226 (in real life, he used a Springfield TRP Operator and then a SIG 220), or the fact that he's still wearing the old DCU and carrying a Mark 18 by the time the movie gets to his fourth deployment (by that point, he was using the HK416 and wearing desert digital cammies, according to a picture from his book).
