The Door Gunner is a minor but infamous unnamed antagonist in the famous anti-war film, Full Metal Jacket.
He was portrayed by Tim Colceri.
Biography
The Door Gunner is an unnamed combatant in the Vietnam war who is introduced as a homicidal maniac who makes a hobby out of randomly opening fire on any civilians he comes across, often quoting his infamous catchphrase of "get some" as he kills his victims. As he massacres civilians, Joker watches in silent horror, and after a while, the Door Gunner happily converses with Joker, saying that he should interview him and shows great pride in killing many Vietnamese.
Joker then asks if this includes women and children, to which the Door Gunner laughs and confirms. Joker asks how the Door Gunner can justify killing women and children, to which the mad veteran simply states "simple, you just don't lead them as much" then notes his infamous "ain't war Hell?" phrase before the scene ends.
The Door Gunner is not heard of again in the film.
Personality
While most of the characters in the film are morally flawed and capable of being seen in varied lights depending on the viewer's own sense of ethics, the Door Gunner is notable for being a violent mentally unstable sociopath with little redeeming qualities, despite his small appearance in the film. Sadistic, he enjoys gunning down enemies, even if they are civilians.
The war is his raison d'etre and the fact that he wants Joker to create a story on him suggests he seeks fame for what he has done.
