Great show with one quirk


Great show, I just finished all the way up to s02e17.

Several reasons why I enjoy this show, however, there is something that I think may be too obvious or apparent in that every time someone gets shot at, there is a red powder/mist from the location where the target was shot. If this is suppose to give the illusion of outward blood splatter from the entry shot than I believe that it may be overly used. I have never physically seen someone in front of me get shot to confirm and compare the outward blood splatter especially through layers of "clothing", and that may be so, however, they show this every single time someone is shot regardless of the clothes they are wearing.
I guess only an actual navy seal can confirm this.

There are actual seals and former seals that have been watching this show and approve of the several small details that are actual to this show.

Just finished watching season 3, they definitely cut down on the red-mist/blood splatter after s02e17.

I'm not a SEAL, but, I believe you're right...regarding shots to "center mass," the splatter is mostly for dramatic effect, especially if they are wearing dark/heavy clothing.

Headshots are a different story...visible pink mist (depending on distance), especially on unprotected heads, is more than likely seen in real life.
