=="unidentified machine gun"==
Looks like a DShKM 12.7mm heavy machine gun.

The scene where James Bond disarms Carver's guards of their Calico 950 submachine guns is in Ho Chi Mihn City Vietnam as is the scene where Bond and Wai Lin are at the safe house its not Shanghai or Bejing China its in Vietnam

:Sorry, say what? -[[User:MT2008|MT2008]]
:A movie made in '''1997''' features a pistol that wasn't available until '''2007'''? Tell me, Mr. Anon, how is that at all possible? [[User:Spartan198|Spartan198]] 23:27, 21 February 2010 (UTC)

== AR-18 ==

The gun he uses is an AR-18? That's odd, because I was reading in this James Bond book and it said the gun he used was an AR-70/90. Is it possible it was a 70/90 and not an 18? -[[User:Gunman69|Gunman69]] 16:00, 1 July 2009 (UTC)

:I don't think so. The receiver and front sight are completely the wrong shape. Books get stuff wrong all the time. That's why we exist in the first place. -[[User:MT2008|MT2008]] 16:53, 1 July 2009 (UTC)

::Haha so true. That was what I thought when I compared the prop and a picture of the AR-70/90, but I just wanted it confirmed. Thanks! -[[User:Gunman69|Gunman69]] 20:59, 1 July 2009 (UTC)

==Glock==
A bit of extras, but I believe that Tomorrow Never Dies marks the first appearance of a Glock pistol in Bond movies.

:A Glock 17 was used in a deleted scene of ''[[Goldeneye]]'', as we have documented on the page for that movie. But since this scene didn't appear in the movie, technically, I guess you are correct. -[[User:MT2008|MT2008]] 22:15, 26 October 2010 (UTC)

== Bond during last fight ==

Am I wrong or is Bond wasting one of his remaining two rounds for nothing in the final battle on the ship?

==Opening Credits==
Can anyone identify any of the guns in the opening credits.

== Unknown pistol ==

Am I the only one thinking this pistol:
[[File:Carversaigon.jpg|thumb|none|600px|James Bond knocks the guard out by kicking him, who had no real chance to draw his weapon.]]

is a Mark III [[Browning Hi-Power]]?

Thoughts? [[User:The Wierd It|The Wierd It]] 05:39, 24 January 2012 (CST)
:Reminds me of the Browning BDA we saw earlier --[[User:Taurus96|Taurus96]] 07:00, 24 January 2012 (CST)
::Given the fact there doesn't seem to be a hammer, meaning it's a DAO pistol, you may have a point.[[User:The Wierd It|The Wierd It]] 07:05, 24 January 2012 (CST)
:::I don't think it is a BDA, as the safety is too long, the serrations are too close to the rear of the slide, the length of the serrated section isn't long enough, and the magazine has a thick base plate. All of these features match the [[Browning BDM]] however. FYI, I think the pictures of the BDM that are on this site feature it at the half cock (I don't totally understand how the hammer works on the BDM as it can be switched between DA and DAO), when it is fully forward it is pretty much totally inside the slide. --[[User:Commando552|commando552]] 08:46, 24 January 2012 (CST)
:::[[File:Bdm 1.jpg|thumb|350px|none|Browning BDM - 9x19mm]]

I think the pistol used by one of Carver's goons in his building (where Bond throws down that paper satellite) could either be a Glock (I assume it could be the prop used again by Carver in the final showdown) or USP [[User:Fixer|Fixer]]

== MP5K PDW ==

[[Image:Tnd-mp5a.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Carver's henchmen fire MP5s at Bond and Wai Lin.]]
Correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't the MP5K of the guy on the right have both a folded PDW stock and an extended barrel? That would mean that there is at least one genuine PDW in this film, rather than them all being mocked-up MP5Ks as stated on the page. [[User:Jimmoy|Jimmoy]] 11:46, 10 May 2012 (CDT)

Does anyone remember a 1997 movie called "The Assignment", starring Aidan Quinn? It had Donald Sutherland and Ben Kingsley in it. It doesn't have a page on this site, and I think it should have one.

Gooyers38: /* Gun Used in the Posters */

==I would recommend not opining about price or availability of guns unless you know for sure==
I get thinking when I hear remarks like "that's a rare gun" or "That's an expensive Gun" or "that's a much cheaper gun". I think to myself, "That's a rare gun NOW, but they were a commonplace back in the 1970s and 1980s". That's an age issue. Youngsters tend to only know what's true for the marketplace right NOW, not years ago. Also I would recommend NOT making commentary about availability and pricing because people '''with only gun knowledge of the present day''' cannot make credible commentary about gun availability and pricing when the movie was made. The thing about older members is that they tend to remember what was available and what they paid for guns back in the 1980s or 1990s. I still have editions of SHOTGUN news from 1983-1989. Judging from the distributor ads, I remember what was really cheap and plentiful at certain points in time. I've had to argue with people in the past regarding weapons availability when their only knowledge is guesswork based on what's true today.

==Taurus Model 689==
It looks to me as if the cylinder doesn't spin when Man #4 fires at Jules and Vince, can anyone else see that? [[User:Stephenf1234|Stephenf1234]] 00:25, 3 January 2011 (UTC)

==Gun Used in the Posters==
What's the gun that uses Uma Thurman in the Pulp Fiction posters?
Is a Star B? Or a M1911 ?

About the Gun, i ask about the original poster:

http://www.tarantino.info/wiki/images/Mia-b%26w_shirt-02.jpg
obviously the other poster uses a computer generated or drawn gun.

Thanxs

:Uh, No, that's a photo. Looks to me to be the 1911, which actually has that connection to Travolta's character.-protoAuthor 20:39, 14 November 2009 (UTC)

What is the gun in front of her in THIS photo??? >> http://www.imfdb.org/wiki/File:Pulp-Fiction-Poster.jpg it doesn't look like a standard M1911A1, Travolta's Auto Ordnance or Jule's Star Model B.

== Vincent's firearm safety ==

Is it so bad because of his heroin habit ? Also his behavior such as hanging around a place without checking the other rooms first etc ?

I think it has to do with his lack of proper firearms training. And he also just got out of the bathroom, not just showed up.

When he's reading that book, Vincent is totally oblivious to anything going on, as evidenced when he's in the bathroom at the diner and doesn't hear the robbery go down until later. So it makes sense that he didn't realize that Butch had come into the house. --[[User:Ben41|Ben41]] 08:51, 9 September 2010 (UTC)

I think he's talking about the apartment near the start when he never checked the rooms and ended up almost being shot by the guy with the revolver.

well he is clearly untrained because if he was , marvin would still have a face . not to mention , when he is in the bathroom , in both butches house
and the diner , he is unaware of events going on out side . i believe its the fact that he is trained , but not higly . simmons 8492

: I'd say his firearms training (character, not actor) was on a par with most crooks. He knows there is a right end and a wrong end of a gun. He knows pulling the trigger makes it go <bang!>. But the character knows very little about safe handling practices. However, he is willing to shoot other people without any second thought. As for the MAC-10 in the apartment, peeing into a toilet bowl in a small bathroom can be noisy enough to mask other sounds, such as someone entering the apartment and finding the SMG left on the kitchen counter top. And anyway, where are going to put the thing when you're taking a wizz? ''Wraith''

well many people think that the MAC10 is not vincents but marcellus's and he left it to pick up coffiee , which is why he has two cups with him and a bag when butch hits him with his car. also something tells me that he has his para ordanace and not a MAC .. and i like the metaphore that if juleswas still with him he wouldnt have died..[[user:simmons 8492|simmons 8492]]

==Don't go to the bathroom==
It seems to be one of the morals of the film is 'Don't go to the bathroom'. As someone pointed out to me, whenever someone does something bad happens to them....[[User:Foofbun|Foofbun]] 20:19, 30 November 2010 (UTC)

haha, so true --[[User:Jackbel|Jackbel]] 08:34, 1 December 2010 (UTC)

yeah thats true(= --[[User: simmons 8492]]

== Couple's Revolvers ==

Does anyone find it ridicilous that Ringo uses a smaller caliber revolver than the girl he's with?

== 2002 Trivia Track mistake on the 'Hand Cannon' ==

I remember watching the film with the bonus trivia track some time ago, and it said that the 'hand cannon' was a [[Dirty Harry]] reference and went on to state that the gun 'Man #4' uses is a .44 magnum, which as we now know is incorrect. Of course this doesn't surprise me. Just irks me to see them get the info on the guns wrong sometimes. Of course, the 'Ultimate Edition' First Blood DVD I got is worse, so, bah.
