I think he means the scene where the Rangers hook up with the paras. They're hiding in an open field as a halftrack approaches and is bazooka'd by the paras. The Rangers then mop up the crew as they try to escape.

for the movie they used IIRC a Chech built halftrack, from after the war which at first glance looks really similar...

The amo indeed from the shots does look dark yellow (base) with dark green overspray, in this case in wide bands...

I actually got a chance to watch the movie. You know you can't just watch that one scene, the whole movie must be watched. It's like some weird OCD or something. Anyhooo It looked like it was Dunkelgelb w/ green blotches, and then red,yellow,black, and puffy white oh wait it was blown up. I would love to make that 30mm AA gun, that thing is sick. If anyone knows who makes one let me know, I'm counting on you Abrams here.

P.S. Did anyone check out that show on History Channel last night about the ME-262? It was really good.
