Badass Family: The Becketts, consisting of a father and son who are both snipers.The fact that he wears any insignia at all is unrealistic, as oftentimes those tasked with special missions will "sterilize" their uniforms to remove any indication of military affiliation. Realistically, in-garrison he would wear his insignia on his BDU shirt lapels, and then in a tactical environment would remove them so as not to attract sniper fire for being a senior Non-Commissioned Officer. Beckett wears his insignia on his cover, which is generally an Army practice, rather than a Marine one.Beckett enters the recreation room on base with his cover (hat) on.This is corrected in the ending of Assassin's End when Brandon calls his dad "guns." Possibly the most egregious violation, though, is the continual calling of Master Gunnery Sergeant Beckett as "gunny," which is traditionally a term for a Gunnery Sergeant (E7) rather than the much more senior Master Gunnery Sergeant (E9) which is traditionally referred to in slang by those friendly with or close in rank to the Master Gunnery Sergeant as "master guns," if referred to in slang at all.Beckett wears a chest patch, when traditionally Marines don't wear unit patches.(introduced almost 12 years prior to filming, though it's possible that Beckett just kept a pair in serviceable condition, given his likely two decades or more of service) The Marines wear ERDL Brown-dominant woodland, instead of the then-common M81 Woodland Battle Dress Uniform.None of the scope reticles resemble anything ever attached to the M40, SR 9 TC, or Dragunov-style rifles.
No relation to The Sniper, a 1952 Film Noir.
