Oddball, you seem to have missed my post where I mentioned the book.

Oddball I made the point you did about ammo, they would cram it into every space possible, I estimated that a rifleman will have had about 20-25 mags each if they wanted them, that is quite a lot.
I heard that BHD was meant to be really gory, but I thought it was lightweight, which is a bad thing, it didn't show the extent of the injuries sustained, for instance, was it Smith who got his balls blown off in the event? I remember reading in the book that someone's "testicles were mush" or something like that, but I never saw that in the film

Erm if you want to see real life injuries, become a doctor or join the army. At the end of the day it was a movie, and the main reason for (most) movies is to make money. If they showed injuries as bad as real life, the film would not have a 15 rating, would be viewed by a smaller audience, and as such, not make as much money.
dont get me wrong, it would have been a bit more realistic if they tried to make things more gory, but that wouldnt appeal to much to the BBFC, and the US equivilent of cencorship.

I thought SPR was much more graphic, I still think that BHD is a good film though

Well Smith asks the Medic if his balls are ok, and the medic says ''your balls are fine''

the book says rodreguiez's ball was blow off, one of them cause he got shot in the ass got an exit wound in his testicle. I believe it was rodreuiuguez, defiantly a spanish name. Anyway yeah i know all about the novel. i read it twice.
