10 More Insanely Accurate War Movie Details

There's a moment there in the 2014 war biopic known as American Sniper, a movie which tells the real-life story of the deadliest marksman in American history, when the aforementioned Chris Kyle figures out he's dining with a secret militant by glancing at his elbow.

Here, Kyle spots a rather familiar bruise/mark and quickly starts searching for evidence to prove his theory correct. And why did the sniper recognise this particular marking? Because it was one that he himself actually boasted, too.

Jumping back to a little earlier in the movie, Bradley Cooper's Chris is seen having a cuddle in bed with Sienna Miller's Taya Studebaker, with his own elbows looking almost as bruised as that bloke's at dinner (via r/MovieDetails).

These particular marks tend to end up on the elbows of military personnel who spend a ton of time lay in a prone position with a rifle in their hands, with that part of their bodies usually rested on the ground and getting a little banged up over the years.

Put simply, "shooter's strawberries" are just a part of a shooter's life.
