Re: The Last Outlaw movie review
Well, no offense meant to anyone...
I watched The Last Outlaw movie last night.
If it was not the worst movie I have ever seen, it was in the top 2 or 3.
Like my Dad used to say...."They got up and made that movie before breakfast".

What rifle does the soldier have at the 5:18 mark?

Similar to but not exactly like an M16. Not a Stoner M63 either.
Is this even a real photograph or some kind of AI generated image??
