My wife and I watched Fury on Sunday. The movie was too intense for my wife to like. I personally liked, but I agree, not much of a plot, but that was OK for me. I also saw the trailer for "Unbroken",...another WWII movie in the Pacific Theater. Looking forward to that one too.

The one thing that I noticed about the movie was all the ricochete shots (bullets & shells).
A friend and I went shooting several years ago late in the day. When it started to get dark. We shot a few tracer rounds. Much to my surprise,...those rounds can bounce 100-200 yards beyond your target,...maybe more. I'm guessing the height was +100 ft above the ground.

I have a book I would recommend titled, " Into the Rising Sun." This book is all first hand accounts of the Pacific War. The author also wrote a similar book for the European theater too,..which I have yet to purchase.

Thanks, RonP
