2. The school's armoury had weapons which are pure fantasy. In addition to fully automatic M-16s, the school also had M-2 .50 calibre machine guns, M-60 machine guns, M1911 Colt .45 pistols, grenades, et al.

Is this saying that the "pure fantasy" is that these weapons would be in the school's armoury? As the weapons themselves are legit.

Just my 2 cents but the school is middle and high school level, and I've never seen one yet with functioning weapons. Normally ROTC units do not keep "armories" of weapons at any level except at the US military academies, but in any case, legal or not, it is highly unlikely crew-served weapons would be at a high school and grenades not at all.

Regardless of how realistic you feel the story is, the film is fiction. Clearly the writers of the film can place whatever weapons they want in the armory.The Goat 17:40, 5 April 2007 (UTC)

I like the film, but it was always a little funny watching these kids with automatic weapons and heavy ordinance. Now there's a military school for ya!
