Eightball walks point into the sniper's kill zone. In the Hue City sequence of Full Metal Jacket, Dorian Harewood's squad member is sent ahead to check a building, takes a round, and drops in the open. The sniper shoots him again each time his squadmates try to reach him, turning Eightball into bait. When Animal Mother finally leads a charge, they find the sniper is a teenage girl. Kubrick holds the camera on her face while the squad argues about whether to finish her off — it's the scene the whole film builds toward.

Harewood wears a dark-dialed watch on his left wrist during the patrol scenes through the rubble of Hue. It appears to sit on a fabric or nylon strap, consistent with field watches that most infantry soldiers wore in Vietnam. The specific make hasn't been determined.
