Corrected entry: When Johnny Utah and the rest of the FBI guys stormed the surfer-Nazi house, none of them are wearing bullet proof vests. Why would only 5 FBI agents storm a house not knowing how many people are inside and what weapons they might have?

Corrected entry: Bodi and his surfer buddies are fleeing from a bank robbery and Bodi sets a car on fire endangering peoples lives. Seeing as how Johnny Utah is a "crack shot", why wouldn't he shoot Bodi in the leg instead of that long drawn out chase scene?
Correction: Not only is it difficult to hit a moving target while running, it is most likely a matter of procedure. No trained police professional would endanger innocents by firing a shot at a fleeing suspect, especially if he knows the suspect's identity and could use that information to capture him later. You see shootouts all the time in movies, but in this one, what happens is actually closer to the truth.

Correction: First off, it's not clear if the 2 agents who went in the back door are vested or not. Yes one of the agents was stabbed, but stab wounds can puncture a vest. Also, the night before, Agent Alvarez pointed out what a "BS lead" this was. And let's remember how Harp was not thrilled with the way Pappas was approaching the case. Harp surely didn't want to waste a lot of manpower on something that in his eyes was probably going to pan out to nothing. And in the eyes of the FBI, these guys were relatively small time. It wasn't until Utah saw that they were "pulling out a f - king arsenal" that he realized perhaps they were undermanned. At that point he tried to call off the raid but it was too late.
