Question about Morgan's friend **Possible Spoiler***

I just saw it on THIS Network too. I DVR'd it and it took me four separate sittings to get through it all. It was so bad that it kept putting me to sleep. Finally finished today.

His friend and him were attacked during the fence scene. After hooking up the generator to the fence, they drove to the end of the fence again only to see all the rats trying to get around the fence in the water and drowning. They decided to drive back to the generator to check on it and found that the rats had broken through the fence anyway. That is when they were attacked by rats. His friend did not make it.

I was wondering about how the rats were being shot. I can't believe that they were really shooting them with something. My best guess is they were blasting them with red paint wads, sort of like a spit ball that was air powered. The rats certainly reacted violently to the strike, but I never saw and body parts fly, only what looked like a blob of red paint. This effect was very good. It was probably only good effect in the whole movie. The scale models were horrible, as were the split screens and the rubber chicken head. Once I saw the rubber chicken head in the first few minutes of the movie, I knew I had to see the rest of it to see what else it had to offer. I was not dissapointed. I will remember this one for a long time.
