The “schoolboy” character was using a .50 cal sniper rifle. Those things blow right through the human body. Hell, they blow right through helicopters. I thought the .50 cal hits were decent enough in Rambo. Even if it wasn’t, I don’t think it would really matter. First Blood is the only previous Rambo film that ever tried to strive for some sense of realism.
But I think Ify was referring to the level of carnage as opposed to the depiction of violence. Just the sheer amount of people he kills.
