It was old Andy McNab who was the consultant for the film, specifically this bit where they press and advance while firing covering each other - moving your pieces like pepperpots. Even Pacino checking for a round in the chamber before beaching was suggested by McNab.
AND the shooting direct thru the windscreen instead of the movie "lean out of the window" - was a tactic used in Northern Ireland during the Troubles in get aways by 14 Det.
I saw it in the cinema, the gunshot cracks are so loud and jarring with the echos, proper intense - they sound more realistic than most film gunshots. Such a good film, Moby's soundtrack too.
1 of my all time favourites.
