It's because the last scene, they tried to be like other military shows. Give the guys with guns with a lot of crap on them and have their pistol shots take a guy on when it's clearly out of pistol range.

100 yard kimber shots instead of aimed rifle fire and bad guys falling (even wearing body armor) to a hit in the chest instantly. 24 went downhill like this too.

Don't you know? Bulletproof vests don't work when bad guys wear them because bullet proof vests love 'merica lol

No, that's not what I meant. What I meant is that shows like "The Unit" are targeted mostly at teenage and 20-something guys who are into guns and the military. The problem is that these days, if you're competing for the attention of that demographic, you're competing against military-themed FPS games. It's not at all difficult to see who wins in that competition.
