| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- that was cool. pretty neat how Golgo took out those guys. |
 |
| That gun was fucking awesome, epitome of how pro he is. |

| M16A2 Custom... Amazing :p |
| Another great episode from our man sans personality... I regret to admit that I'm actually enjoying this series in spite of everything. |
 |
| Wow that was amazing. Much better than the previous two episodes. Golgo totally owned, great episode. |

| I'm absolutely loving this series so far, and this episode was no exception. I liked the weapons customizer and enjoyed seeing him back as a recurring character. I'm pretty sure he's the same guy doing the narration in the next episode previews so I think we'll probably be seeing more of him as well. |
| The old guy laughing at the end cracked me up so much. Nice custom. mwahahahaha |
| LoL, such BS when he shot the first brother from the hip, but who cares it was still entertaining. |
  |
| lol yeah it was a nice episode, i'm kinda liking it too so far, better than the first 2 eps. |
  |
| Awesome episode. I love that M16 assault rifle that he had. |

| While, it was entertaining (sometimes unintentionally), I was not really impressed with this episode. The entire premise kind of comes off as just plain dumb: It came off as "I shall prove the effectiveness of my rifles by equipping my men with them and having them fight against other men with other rifles. Whichever group of men wins is using the superior rifles." Kind of weak logic. Any ace with any type of weapon will tell you that a better user beats a better weapon any day. They also openly consider it a sniper battle, yet they're proving assault rifles. Anyone else think that's a bit odd? More technical gripes: On the other hand, the methods for defeating the weapons were appropriate, especially the first. Since, regardless of how they're toted, those are sniper rifles, they don't function well when the scope is thwarted. It's not that this is unenjoyable, and I know I'm a lot more knowledgable than most, but they really should try and do better if they're going to bother with the technical side. |

| This guy knows a lot about guns=p Seriously I didn't know there were so many. Great episode. |
 |
| I think they confused the FAL with the SA80, to be honest, and yeah, had to laugh at the M16 being a masterpiece.. oh hay sand, jammed. oh hay water, jammed. oh hay ITS WINDY... you get the idea :/ Ultimately I shelved all the technical issues I had with Golgo 13 on the basis that, well, it's supposed to be over the top invincible action guy stuff. We watch it because we wish to be entertained, so I decided to let that stuff lie. Anyway, Golgo 13 is a mans anime. XD |
   |
| Very cool episode. Looking forward to even more hardcore antics from the next episode's preview. |
 |
| Don't mess with Golgo! |
 |
| Glad to see ErwinJA has already ranted about most of what I came here to rant about, except: - This whole episode was contrived purely to show off Golgo's M16. There is no real reason why he'd be using one in the first place over a gun made for actual accuracy, or why you'd show off a snazzy new super scope on an assault rifle rather than on actual marksman's weapons. - The XM29 is only bullpup in terms of the grenade launcher, which they don't use in this episode. The bullet magazine is in front of the grip, just like a stock G36. - I think the scope readout was 192 metres, not 792, partly based on the size of the people and the apparent ranges between them when seen. At that range the super scope becomes a handicap, as any trained marksman wins over the super scope user in that they simply aim with iron sights and shoot you while your scope is thinking. C.F. the Washington Sniper. - An M16 with a super mega ultra barrel versus two stock rifles. Great contest. Any gun becomes a masterpiece if you customise it completely with really high grade components. Now try an M16 with a super mega ultra barrel against an F2000 with a super mega ultra barrel. Come to that, try a super mega ultra barrel M16 against an super mega ultra barrel FAL and any scopes you like, and we'll see who wins on pure range. 7.62 NATO > 5.56 NATO, discussion ends. - A super scope that does not understand and compensate for inclines or changing light levels is not super. I mean, even iPhonys know what angle they are at, FFS, and night vision that can't cope with a gradually strengthening light in the distance isn't exactly cutting edge either. - M16LOL. It was never a masterpiece. Ever. I forget who said it but I particularly like this: "The best way to improve the AR15 is to remove the front sight and mount a different gun underneath it." Most importantly, I quite agree that if they are are going to do technical they ought to a) check their facts and b) at least stop and think if maybe stuff like having Golgo use an M16 as a handgun is quite sensible or appropriate. I don't expect Golgo to try and be technically accurate at all, given how utterly unbelievable it is generally, but I certainly expected them to do it badly when they started, and in that I was correct. Maybe they ought to just give up and fund a faithful adaptation of Gunsmith Cats instead. |
| So much info about guns! :O Still loving the series. |
 |
| Ok a sniper going on a sniper mission and using an assault rifle doesn't make much sense. The whole thing was one big advertizement for the M16 basically and calling it "masterpiece" is kind of ridiculous. Probably Ak-47 (that they did mention in the show so it's not like the don't know it) deserves that title considering all the shit it can go threw and keep performing. A better rifle by far in my opinion. Anyway all that can be a little ignored besides other made a better job calling every detail but unfortunately even the great battle was kind of stupid because excluding Golgo'13's amazing abilities(that i am willing to accept for anime badass purposes) to shoot with one hand and stuff like that, there is no reason they wouldn't have got him many times he was quite open. After he shot the first he started running open white to that hole, the other guy could easily have shot him before reaching there. |
| I await for an episode with Golgo having some trouble. |
 |
| Weapons don't make you better than Golgo, he is in another league. |
 |
| Damn Golgo is scary His skills vs. high-tech weapons it should be obvious Though those two brothers have the aim of Stormtrooper when full-auto xD Should have stay on single shot |
"Signature removed"   |
| those were some big brain moves by golgo cocky french guys get owned |
 |
| TIL about the differences between assault rifles. Bullpup has excellent mobility and is good at CQC, thanks to the stock design. Interesting. That gunfight was pretty good. Those are legit tactics that he used. |
