If you know of a good modern shootout scene, post those bad boys. What I like about these shorter videos is that they help a prospective GM visualize how the action in a combat might go.

Default Cops & Robbers

I'm not sure if they qualify as non-military, given the nature of black ops, but I really dig the shootouts in Sicario.

The shootouts in End of Watch were pretty good too, IMHO (although how and why backup is so slow arriving during the climactic shootout, I don't quite buy).

+1 for Sicario. The border shootout was intense.

Great movie. Josh Brolin's character was spot-on in my experience.

I really liked him in no country for old men too. I was going to include the hotel firefight from No Country, but I couldn't find a suitable video for it. The two uploads I did find were either too dark or very grainy.

Let's be clear here, the border INCIDENT was not a shootout... It was SF massacring cartel shooters. A "shootout usually involves an exchange of gunfire. The only person in the incident who was close to getting shot was Emily Blount... by the Mexican border agent... but she smoked him instead.

Both were good but SICARIO was a blockbuster so I didn't include it.
