The Thin Red Line Movie – Cannons Scene with Airbag Man Firestone Airbags

Thin Red Line Movie Cannon scene in which our Firestone airbags were utilised to give the Cannons a realistic recoil effect.

Recoil is the backward momentum of a gun when it is discharged. In technical terms, the recoil caused by the gun exactly balances the forward momentum of the projectile and exhaust gases, according to Newton’s third law.

Check it out! Quick Scene so don’t miss it…..

Great Movie too. Check out the blurb below.

In World War II, the outcome of the battle of Guadalcanal will strongly influence the Japanese advance into the Pacific theater. A group of young soldiers is brought in as a relief for the battle-weary Marines. The exhausting fight for a strategically-positioned airfield that allows control over a 1000-mile radius puts the men of the Army rifle company C-for-Charlie through hell. The horrors of war form the soldiers into a tight-knit group; their emotions develop into bonds of love and even family. The reasons for this war get further away as the world for the men gets smaller and smaller until their fighting is for mere survival and the life of the other men with them.
