In actuality the Kevlar body armor currently worn by American military forces is more than capable of stopping pistol rounds of various calibers, even without the extra armor plates.

The U.S. military standard Humvee does not have V-8 engines and are much smaller than depicted in this film.
  
  
• Factual errors: In two scenes Turkish military officers are seen using Beretta M92F, 9mm handguns. Little known fact that only the Turkish police and police special response units employ this weapon. The military has Kirikkale 9mm's.
