== Comparison photos of 67 and 19==

Dillinger why do you keep taking away the photo of the Model 19? I like the comparison photos and you seem to be the only one who has an issue with it. What's the big deal? If you're going to do that at least build a page for yourself so we can exchange messages. --[[User:Jcordell|Jcordell]] 17:11, 24 July 2009 (UTC)

: They were take off again, and I've reverted them back. Granted it's since been showing the Models 65 and 66 but nonetheless like JCordell, I too don't mind having those other gun images there to visually show and emphasize the comparative differences - Similar deals are done on a few other pages, not that much really but still. Either way, it's been fine for this long - I don't really see the harm in letting them stay. [[User:StanTheMan|StanTheMan]] ([[User talk:StanTheMan|talk]]) 14:31, 13 November 2016 (EST)

I think I was wrong about Hauk with a Model 36 (Model 36 was already listed on the page too), the front sight looks to be the rounded style seen on the early Model 10 snubs. --[[User:Predator20|Predator20]] 12:59, 24 July 2010 (UTC)

:It probably just looks out of proportion because of the short barrel and the fact his finger is out of the trigger guard. --[[User:Maxman|Maxman]] ([[User talk:Maxman|talk]]) 00:12, 7 August 2016 (EDT)

==Shuriken==
Hey guys. I haven't seen this movie in a while, and I couldn't remember; does Snake use the shuriken that are laid out with his gear? Thanks. -SasquatchJim

Yes, he uses at least one on a guard outside the subway train at Duke's. [[User:Max Deployment|Max Deployment]] 14:37, 6 February 2012 (CST)

== Fun trivia fact ==

Interesting bit of movie trivia here, on the film's poster where it shows the head of the Statue of Liberty in the middle of a street in New York City, such a scene never happens in the film. However, 27 years later, the filmmakers of [[Cloverfield]] got their idea of the scene when New York is first attacked and the Statue of Liberty's head is being thrown into a building and falling into the middle of a street from the poster of Escape from New York. Pretty neat huh? --[[User:ThatoneguyJosh|ThatoneguyJosh]] 06:20, 10 March 2011 (MSK)

That apparently was J.J. Abrams idea, who was disappointed that after seeing the Statue of Liberty's head on the poster that it wasn't actually in the film. --[[User:Ben41|Ben41]] 12:30, 10 March 2011 (MSK)
:Oh yeah I forgot, that was J.J.'s idea. I read up on it again and found out it was his idea. My mistake. --[[User:ThatoneguyJosh|ThatoneguyJosh]] 03:57, 15 March 2011 (CDT)

:::Also the HEAD of the Statue of Liberty on the movie poster is WAY OUT of SCALE. It's huge!!!! Compared to the real thing. hahahahah [[User:MoviePropMaster2008|MoviePropMaster2008]] 01:14, 16 November 2011 (CST)

::::Maybe it's supposed to be a representation of the American people's collective ego? You can't deny we have one that's sky high, right? I mean, we bitch and cry about things that would be paradise for someone living in a third world country. You complain when the garbage service doesn't run on time?

==Should Snake's MAC-10 get its own page?==
I would argue that this weapon is not just iconic but unique. I'd really like to see it have its own page where we could identify the parts. I have some info (and speculation) to share but I don't want to clutter the main page if it's inappropriate. [[User:Max Deployment|Max Deployment]] 14:42, 6 February 2012 (CST)
:All it is is a MAC-10 with some small embellishments; I'm not sure that would constitute as a fictional weapon.
::Not even the whole gun. All the embellishments appear to be focused on the suppressor. Take that away, and it's just a regular MAC-10. --[[User:Funkychinaman|Funkychinaman]] 16:10, 6 February 2012 (CST)

== MAC-10 bolt and ejection question ==

In the scene where Snake meets Brain, he threatens Brain by pulling back the bolt to open it, similar in fashion to the way a movie character cocks a revolver's hammer to intimidate someone. Now wouldn't doing this eject a chambered round?
--[[User:DarvinJr|DarvinJr]] ([[User talk:DarvinJr|talk]]) 15:33, 10 November 2013 (EST)
:MAC-10s are open bolt, like most SMGs at the time, so pulling the bolt back actually prepares it for firing. --[[User:Funkychinaman|Funkychinaman]] ([[User talk:Funkychinaman|talk]]) 15:38, 10 November 2013 (EST)

Sidewinder Forge: /* M16 */

[[Image:Ice station zebra ver2.jpg|thumb|300px|right|Theatrical Poster for ''Ice Station Zebra'' (1968).]]

'''''Ice Station Zebra''''' is a 1968 Cold War thriller based on the novel of the same name written by Alistair MacLean (the spy author whose works have been adapted into films including ''[[Where Eagles Dare]]'', ''[[The Guns of Navarone]]'' and ''[[Force 10 from Navarone]]''). Directed by [[John Sturges]] (''[[The Great Escape]]''), the film focuses on the crew of the USS ''Tigerfish'', an American nuclear submarine, which under the guise of a rescue mission is sent to the Arctic to recover a crashed Soviet spy satellite. The cast included [[Rock Hudson]], [[Ernest Borgnine]], and [[Patrick McGoohan]].

'''The following weapons were used in the film ''Ice Station Zebra'':'''

Talk:A Bridge Too Far

2020-05-04T10:58:23Z

Sidewinder Forge: /* Sherman Tank Trivia */

__TOC__ 

=Trivia=
==Background==
Their mission was to seize and hold a series of critical bridges in time for their ground armored and infantry divisions to arrive. It was the largest Airborne operation ever attempted. The title is based on a historical quote by British Lieutenant-General Frederick "Boy" Browning (portrayed in the film by Dirk Bogarde) who feared early on that they were being too ambitious and famously declared "''I think we may be going a bridge too far."'' In the film, we only hear this line in retrospect, when General Browning mentions that he said it, to a disgusted General Roy Urquhart ([[Sean Connery]]), after the disaster that befell the British 1st Airborne at Arnhem.

==Production==
The film is an epic telling of the Allied Airborne operation code-named ''''Market-Garden'''', in which 35,000 American, British and Polish Paratroopers were flown 300 miles and dropped behind enemy lines in Nazi-occupied Holland. The film had a mega budget for its time, $22 Million in 1976 (the film was released in 1977), however the producer, Joseph E. Levine, pre-sold the distribution rights all over the world (and to tempt them, used American and Foreign movie stars who had drawing power all over the world). Ultimately the distributors ended up paying Levine $26 Million for the rights to all of the domestic and foreign markets, thus making it one of the first films to make a profit, before a single screening. However, the film did not do so well in the theaters and received mixed review, so the various distributors around the world, each bore the brunt of the box office disappointments.

==Holland Landings==
The production faithfully reproduced the Airborne landings in Holland with numerous planes and paratroopers, all done without the use of visual effects.

==Leopard Mk I mocked up as a German Panther==
For the filming of the German armor, modern era Leopard Mk I tanks were mocked up to resemble the Panther tank.

[[Image:Bridge 4501.jpg‎ ‎|thumb|none|600px|]]
[[Image:Leopard_1_001.jpg‎ ‎|thumb|none|500px|Notice the marks on the gun mantlet. Also notice how the modern sights and smoke grenade launchers are covered up in the movie. Also note the shape of the driver's hatch.]]

===Leopard Tank Discussion===
Looks like a mocked Patton -[[User:Markost|Markost]] 14:40, 8 July 2010 (UTC)
:It can't be a Patton, the driver's hatch is off to the right. Why can't this be a Leopard? It certainly looks like one to me. --[[User:Funkychinaman|funkychinaman]] 15:41, 8 July 2010 (UTC)
::hahaha, it certainly looks like the model TOY of the Leopard. If you can find a google pic of that version of the leopard and post is here I would be grateful. All the pics I can find look nothing like this.
:::Well, it's obviously vis-modded, but it still looks like an early model, an Leopard 1A1 or 1A2. The hatches are in the right place, and the shape of the hull seems unchanged. It looks like they built something on top of the turret to make it a bit more square and to cover up some of the more modern looking features, like the sights. It looks like they also added a muzzle brake and German WWII style skirts. Check out the photos in the link below. The first one you can see the four protrusions on the mantlet. The later photos show that those are for mounting for some equipment. You can also see in the picture above the mountings for the IR searchlight. [http://www.militaryphotos.net/forums/showthread.php?154455-Leopard-1-tank-thread] According to IMDb, the filming was done in the Netherlands, and the Dutch used Leopard 1s. --[[User:Funkychinaman|funkychinaman]] 16:54, 8 July 2010 (UTC)
::Awesome. Thanks. When I originally did the page, I originally wrote the it WAS a Leopard primarily because I knew it was filmed in the Netherlands and they probably used some NATO tank for the shots, but all the pics I could find were later Leopard variants with the Chobham style reactive armor which look nothing like the other Leopard tanks. :) That's the perfect shot to prove it's a Leopard! :) [[User:MoviePropMaster2008|MoviePropMaster2008]] 01:56, 9 July 2010 (UTC)
:::I think when most people picture a Leopard 1, it's one of the newer ones with the welded hulls, rather than the older ones with the cast hulls, probably because they're the only ones still in service. If you keep going on that the link I provided, they even mention A Bridge Too Far, and they posted the photo that's here as well as another photo of the Leopard crossing a bridge head on. In that one, you get to see the rear of the hull, and the shape of the radiators. --[[User:Funkychinaman|funkychinaman]] 03:11, 9 July 2010 (UTC)

==Historical Notation==
===Was the operation a failure?===
The movie's dark ending is harsh, yet historically accurate. The Allies never made it into Arnhem, the Allied invasion was halted outside Nijmegen effectively cutting off more than 10,000 British paratroopers trapped in Arnhem. Surrounded, the men of the 1st Airborne fought on for seven days, refusing to yield the North side of Arnhem bridge to a superior force, finally, after it was decided that Operation Market-Garden could not succeed, the Allies began to fall back. 8,000 British soldiers of the 1st Airborne were left behind at the mercy of the Nazis and the Dutch would not see liberation for another 7 months.

There's plenty of sites that discuss the operation, but just to summarize the operation.

The Operation failed in its main objective, which was to open a route across the river Rhine into the Rhur district of Germany. There were of course many more practical objectives which were obtained which probably weren't planned but claimed after the operation. Reasons for the failure are well portrayed in the film, these are the Air Force's refusal to land 1st British Airborne Division close to Arnhem Bridge and Guards Armoured Divisions slowness in reaching Arnhem. One other reason which isn't portrayed in the film probably due to General Browning's already portrayal as the villain for ignoring intelligence reports of panzers in Arnhem, was Browning's specific order to General Gavin to not take Nijmegen Bridge until he had secured the heights south east of Nijmegen. This led directly to the 82nd's problems as the Germans had valuable time to fortify the area around the bridge, and forced Gavin to wait for GAD to support his troops with their tanks to take the bridge.

=Discussion=
==K98k==

quote: A boy drafted into the Wehrmacht fights the Americans with his K98 - 7.92x57mm (this is actually no K98k, it is a type of Mauser System, but look at the rear sight. (Are you sure? It just looks like the rear sight is pulled all the way up for a high angle of fire, something a soldier would NOT do when engaging targets closer than a hundred yards, but this is a last ditch barely teenage conscript so I would assume he's not very well trained.....)

Yes, I´m sure, on the other pic it is better to see, they use mauser system rifles, but not all of them were K 98k. the k98k has a relativly flat rear sight, the rifles on this http://www.abload.de/img/btf_k98_05a50mr82d2.jpg pic, use another rearsight, called bogenvisier in german. same rifle type the boy used.

they are looking like shortened Gewehr 98. this was a modification made in big numbers to solve rifle shortage at the end of the war.

pic of gewehr 98: http://www.abload.de/img/gew98o1xe.jpg look at the rear sight! the rifle sights in the movie are not pulled up.

pic of a real k98k: http://www.mauser.org/rifles/K98k%20German/GermanK98-02_1200.jpg

note the small differences. ;-)

::Thanks for the pics, but thats irrelevant because, '''The Pics of the K98 on IMFDB and the Geweher 98 on IMFDB are of my guns'''.... So I know what these rifles look like. Again I'm not contesting the difference between the two rifles, I ALREADY KNOW the difference since I own both of them, but I'm saying that the screenshot can be deceptive. I will look for possible better pics from the film. [[User:MoviePropMaster2008|MoviePropMaster2008]] 17:26, 17 April 2009 (UTC)

== M1911 ==

Actually, the .455 Colt M1911s (not A1s) were purchased in WW1 for the Royal Flying Corps / RAF, but they were chambered in .455 Webley & Scott Auto as used in the M1913 Webley & Scott auto issued to the Royal Navy and Royal Horse Artillery (later passed on to the RAF). Most ended up being converted to .45ACP so they could use the same ammo as the many M1911A1s acquired as lend-lease, issued mainly to paras and commandos before the Canadian-made Hi Powers started arriving in early 1945.

== Sherman Tank Trivia ==

Someone wrote that some of the Shermans in the film are mock-ups built over Landrovers, this is incorrect. According to the DVD commentry the mock-up Shermans were built by taking casts off the Shermans they had and molding fibreglass shells of the tank, these were then placed on VW Beetles. They're very difficult to spot as they made the tracks to turn as well, if you look carefully the tracks are about an inch from touching the ground.

Landrovers were used in the film but these were used to simulate German armoured cars, specifically they mocked them up as SdKfz 222's and SdKfz 231's. You can find out more on these vehicles at IMCDB's website.--[[User:The Mercenary|The Mercenary]] ([[User talk:The Mercenary|talk]]) 19:18, 23 September 2012 (EDT)

:Are you sure you are getting that the right way round, everything I have ever read said that they were based on a land rover chassis. The Kübelwagens were Beetle based replicas though. The SdKfz 222 mock is supposedly based on a 1951 Dodge truck chassis (apparently it was sold in a British military magazine in 2009 for £6,500, and this is what it was described as), but not sure about the SdKfz 231. --[[User:Commando552|commando552]] ([[User talk:Commando552|talk]]) 19:55, 23 September 2012 (EDT)

::On the DVD commentry i think its John Richardson who definately says "We built the other Shermans by taking casts off the ones we already had and placing them on VW Beetles, if you notice carefully the tracks go round but they don't touch the ground". I must admit i was suprised as i didn't think that Beetles could manage the weight of the mocked up Sherman. The info on the 222's were for those used on the 'Grabner's Attack' sequence, where they had the Frundsberg Recce Btl charge across Arnhem(Deventer) bridge. It could mean they used a Dodge for another sequence, it was a huge film that was shot over 3 countries. Those on the bridge attack were built on Landrovers, other vehicles included a Polish halftrack which resembled the German ones nearly exactly.--[[User:The Mercenary|The Mercenary]] ([[User talk:The Mercenary|talk]]) 18:51, 9 October 2012 (EDT)

== Rare Sten grip ==

I was visiting the excellent [http://en.airbornemuseum.nl/ Airborne Museum] in Oosterbeek (Holland) which tells the heroic story of the battle for the Arnhem bridge, the last Market Garden bridge. Among the many guns on display (all of them apparently used in Arnhem in September 1944) was this Sten which had a rare grip I have never seen before.

[[File:RIMG0020-3.jpg|thumb|none|400px]]

I checked and it does not look like any of the grips I can see on the internet. I was told that this was a ‘Polish grip’ but no further details were available. I don ‘t remember seeing it in the movie either, so does anybody know more about it? Was it standard issue to certain units or something put together by an individual paratrooper? Thanks for letting me know, [[User:PeeWee055|PeeWee055]] ([[User talk:PeeWee055|talk]]) 14:35, 26 June 2014 (EDT)
:1st Polish Parachute Brigade participated in Operation Market Garden so "Polish grip" may belong to Stens used by Polish paratroopers. But the reason of such grip is beyond my comprehension. [[User:Greg-Z|Greg-Z]] ([[User talk:Greg-Z|talk]]) 14:47, 26 June 2014 (EDT)
::There were limited numbers of pistol griped Stens, which were more compact at the expense of accuracy and comfort. I have seen them referred to as either "para" or "commando" Stens, and the exact design of the pistol grip seems to vary quite a lot but I have never seen one that looked quite like that (just google "Sten pistol grip" and you will see the more typical kinds). This looks cruder than is typical though, and based on how the cross sectional profile of the metal is actually bent into a U and the general simple appearance, my guess is that this was done by chopping down the "Canadian" type stock in to a simple rod, bending it into shape, and then welding the free end back onto the mounting plate. --[[User:Commando552|commando552]] ([[User talk:Commando552|talk]]) 19:01, 26 June 2014 (EDT)

:That is not the same as the grip that is in the museum pic you posted though, it is one of the factory types that was used on the para/commondo/SOE Stens.

:::I think the whole point of it was to make a weapon that was as small and non-snagging as possible to strap to your side during a parachute jump, or in the case of SOE use to conceal under clothing, so adding a forward grip would have been contrary to this. It was designed to be held by the heatshield (or by the magazine although this could cause jams and was discouraged) and at the ranges it was intended to be used I don't think a forward grip would have helped all that much. I don't know how this was slung, but it might have been the case that it was designed to be braced forward against the sling to stabilise it. On the topic, I have also seen Stens that have a rather nifty folding stock attached to the pistol grip sort of like the one used on the [[Carl Gustav M/45]], but contrary to what some sellers would ahve you believe I think these are all reproductions, with the real WWII version never really leaving the drawing board. --[[User:Commando552|commando552]] ([[User talk:Commando552|talk]]) 17:50, 3 July 2014 (EDT)

Talk:A Bridge Too Far

2020-05-03T18:30:26Z

Sidewinder Forge: /* Sherman Tank Trivia */

__TOC__ 

=Trivia=
==Background==
Their mission was to seize and hold a series of critical bridges in time for their ground armored and infantry divisions to arrive. It was the largest Airborne operation ever attempted. The title is based on a historical quote by British Lieutenant-General Frederick "Boy" Browning (portrayed in the film by Dirk Bogarde) who feared early on that they were being too ambitious and famously declared "''I think we may be going a bridge too far."'' In the film, we only hear this line in retrospect, when General Browning mentions that he said it, to a disgusted General Roy Urquhart ([[Sean Connery]]), after the disaster that befell the British 1st Airborne at Arnhem.

==Production==
The film is an epic telling of the Allied Airborne operation code-named ''''Market-Garden'''', in which 35,000 American, British and Polish Paratroopers were flown 300 miles and dropped behind enemy lines in Nazi-occupied Holland. The film had a mega budget for its time, $22 Million in 1976 (the film was released in 1977), however the producer, Joseph E. Levine, pre-sold the distribution rights all over the world (and to tempt them, used American and Foreign movie stars who had drawing power all over the world). Ultimately the distributors ended up paying Levine $26 Million for the rights to all of the domestic and foreign markets, thus making it one of the first films to make a profit, before a single screening. However, the film did not do so well in the theaters and received mixed review, so the various distributors around the world, each bore the brunt of the box office disappointments.

==Holland Landings==
The production faithfully reproduced the Airborne landings in Holland with numerous planes and paratroopers, all done without the use of visual effects.

==Leopard Mk I mocked up as a German Panther==

:It can't be a Patton, the driver's hatch is off to the right. Why can't this be a Leopard? It certainly looks like one to me. --[[User:Funkychinaman|funkychinaman]] 15:41, 8 July 2010 (UTC)
::hahaha, it certainly looks like the model TOY of the Leopard. If you can find a google pic of that version of the leopard and post is here I would be grateful. All the pics I can find look nothing like this.
:::Well, it's obviously vis-modded, but it still looks like an early model, an Leopard 1A1 or 1A2. The hatches are in the right place, and the shape of the hull seems unchanged. It looks like they built something on top of the turret to make it a bit more square and to cover up some of the more modern looking features, like the sights. It looks like they also added a muzzle brake and German WWII style skirts. Check out the photos in the link below. The first one you can see the four protrusions on the mantlet. The later photos show that those are for mounting for some equipment. You can also see in the picture above the mountings for the IR searchlight. [http://www.militaryphotos.net/forums/showthread.php?154455-Leopard-1-tank-thread] According to IMDb, the filming was done in the Netherlands, and the Dutch used Leopard 1s. --[[User:Funkychinaman|funkychinaman]] 16:54, 8 July 2010 (UTC)
::Awesome. Thanks. When I originally did the page, I originally wrote the it WAS a Leopard primarily because I knew it was filmed in the Netherlands and they probably used some NATO tank for the shots, but all the pics I could find were later Leopard variants with the Chobham style reactive armor which look nothing like the other Leopard tanks. :) That's the perfect shot to prove it's a Leopard! :) [[User:MoviePropMaster2008|MoviePropMaster2008]] 01:56, 9 July 2010 (UTC)
:::I think when most people picture a Leopard 1, it's one of the newer ones with the welded hulls, rather than the older ones with the cast hulls, probably because they're the only ones still in service. If you keep going on that the link I provided, they even mention A Bridge Too Far, and they posted the photo that's here as well as another photo of the Leopard crossing a bridge head on. In that one, you get to see the rear of the hull, and the shape of the radiators. --[[User:Funkychinaman|funkychinaman]] 03:11, 9 July 2010 (UTC)

==Historical Notation==
===Was the operation a failure?===
The movie's dark ending is harsh, yet historically accurate. The Allies never made it into Arnhem, the Allied invasion was halted outside Nijmegen effectively cutting off more than 10,000 British paratroopers trapped in Arnhem. Surrounded, the men of the 1st Airborne fought on for seven days, refusing to yield the North side of Arnhem bridge to a superior force, finally, after it was decided that Operation Market-Garden could not succeed, the Allies began to fall back. 8,000 British soldiers of the 1st Airborne were left behind at the mercy of the Nazis and the Dutch would not see liberation for another 7 months.

There's plenty of sites that discuss the operation, but just to summarize the operation.

The Operation failed in its main objective, which was to open a route across the river Rhine into the Rhur district of Germany. There were of course many more practical objectives which were obtained which probably weren't planned but claimed after the operation. Reasons for the failure are well portrayed in the film, these are the Air Force's refusal to land 1st British Airborne Division close to Arnhem Bridge and Guards Armoured Divisions slowness in reaching Arnhem. One other reason which isn't portrayed in the film probably due to General Browning's already portrayal as the villain for ignoring intelligence reports of panzers in Arnhem, was Browning's specific order to General Gavin to not take Nijmegen Bridge until he had secured the heights south east of Nijmegen. This led directly to the 82nd's problems as the Germans had valuable time to fortify the area around the bridge, and forced Gavin to wait for GAD to support his troops with their tanks to take the bridge.

=Discussion=
==K98k==

quote: A boy drafted into the Wehrmacht fights the Americans with his K98 - 7.92x57mm (this is actually no K98k, it is a type of Mauser System, but look at the rear sight. (Are you sure? It just looks like the rear sight is pulled all the way up for a high angle of fire, something a soldier would NOT do when engaging targets closer than a hundred yards, but this is a last ditch barely teenage conscript so I would assume he's not very well trained.....)

Yes, I´m sure, on the other pic it is better to see, they use mauser system rifles, but not all of them were K 98k. the k98k has a relativly flat rear sight, the rifles on this http://www.abload.de/img/btf_k98_05a50mr82d2.jpg pic, use another rearsight, called bogenvisier in german. same rifle type the boy used.

they are looking like shortened Gewehr 98. this was a modification made in big numbers to solve rifle shortage at the end of the war.

pic of gewehr 98: http://www.abload.de/img/gew98o1xe.jpg look at the rear sight! the rifle sights in the movie are not pulled up.

pic of a real k98k: http://www.mauser.org/rifles/K98k%20German/GermanK98-02_1200.jpg

note the small differences. ;-)

::Thanks for the pics, but thats irrelevant because, '''The Pics of the K98 on IMFDB and the Geweher 98 on IMFDB are of my guns'''.... So I know what these rifles look like. Again I'm not contesting the difference between the two rifles, I ALREADY KNOW the difference since I own both of them, but I'm saying that the screenshot can be deceptive.

== M1911 ==

Actually, the .455 Colt M1911s (not A1s) were purchased in WW1 for the Royal Flying Corps / RAF, but they were chambered in .455 Webley & Scott Auto as used in the M1913 Webley & Scott auto issued to the Royal Navy and Royal Horse Artillery (later passed on to the RAF).

I must admit i was suprised as i didn't think that Beetles could manage the weight of the mocked up Sherman. The info on the 222's were for those used on the 'Grabner's Attack' sequence, where they had the Frundsberg Recce Btl charge across Arnhem(Deventer) bridge. It could mean they used a Dodge for another sequence, it was a huge film that was shot over 3 countries. Those on the bridge attack were built on Landrovers, other vehicles included a Polish halftrack which resembled the German ones nearly exactly.--[[User:The Mercenary|The Mercenary]] ([[User talk:The Mercenary|talk]]) 18:51, 9 October 2012 (EDT)

:::For those still interested in this discussion, please check [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C_GEKqqCgcA Youtube] which has a charming local TV news item from 1977 with behind-the-scenes shots of the (mock up) tanks.

== Question about the M1 Garand's in this movie and another. ==

I noticed that in this movie and The Big Red One (1980) that the M1's barrels are slightly longer than usual.

[[File:TBR1 118.jpg|thumb|none|400px| This is from The Big Red One.]]

Notice how the barrels are ever so slightly longer than a normal Garand

Were these all fake props or was this some kind of bank adapter for the rifle? Sorry if the pictures are crappy. I just pulled them from the site because I'm too lazy to get my own.-Gunner5
:No they were actual Garands it's just the blank firing adapter(s) (BFA) that makes the barrel seem longer. --[[User:Charon68|Charon68]] ([[User talk:Charon68|talk]]) 12:08, 15 June 2014 (EDT)

== Rare Sten grip ==

I was visiting the excellent [http://en.airbornemuseum.nl/ Airborne Museum] in Oosterbeek (Holland) which tells the heroic story of the battle for the Arnhem bridge, the last Market Garden bridge. Among the many guns on display (all of them apparently used in Arnhem in September 1944) was this Sten which had a rare grip I have never seen before.

[[File:RIMG0020-3.jpg|thumb|none|400px]]

I checked and it does not look like any of the grips I can see on the internet. I was told that this was a ‘Polish grip’ but no further details were available. I don ‘t remember seeing it in the movie either, so does anybody know more about it? Was it standard issue to certain units or something put together by an individual paratrooper? Thanks for letting me know, [[User:PeeWee055|PeeWee055]] ([[User talk:PeeWee055|talk]]) 14:35, 26 June 2014 (EDT)
:1st Polish Parachute Brigade participated in Operation Market Garden so "Polish grip" may belong to Stens used by Polish paratroopers. But the reason of such grip is beyond my comprehension. [[User:Greg-Z|Greg-Z]] ([[User talk:Greg-Z|talk]]) 14:47, 26 June 2014 (EDT)
::There were limited numbers of pistol griped Stens, which were more compact at the expense of accuracy and comfort. I have seen them referred to as either "para" or "commando" Stens, and the exact design of the pistol grip seems to vary quite a lot but I have never seen one that looked quite like that (just google "Sten pistol grip" and you will see the more typical kinds). This looks cruder than is typical though, and based on how the cross sectional profile of the metal is actually bent into a U and the general simple appearance, my guess is that this was done by chopping down the "Canadian" type stock in to a simple rod, bending it into shape, and then welding the free end back onto the mounting plate. --[[User:Commando552|commando552]] ([[User talk:Commando552|talk]]) 19:01, 26 June 2014 (EDT)
:::Thanks, that seems like the most plausible explanation, [[User:PeeWee055|PeeWee055]] ([[User talk:PeeWee055|talk]]) 03:26, 27 June 2014 (EDT)
::::They were designed for the SOE but some managed to find their way into the hands of Pathfinder's and Reconnaissance Squadron troops. I believe there were about 3 or may be 4 different grip designs made, some with a 'wiggly' grip that was more comfortable for the shooter's hand.--[[User:The Mercenary|The Mercenary]] ([[User talk:The Mercenary|talk]]) 20:03, 27 June 2014 (EDT)
Found an image of a member of the 1st Polish Parachute Brigade that may lend some credibility to this grip being called a 'Polish' grip.

[[File:polish sten.jpg|thumb|none|350px|Source: “For King and Country - British Airborne Uniforms, Insignia & Equipment in World War II” –

Possibly this particular grip was favoured by the Polish 1st, with other units opting for different designs, [[User:PeeWee055|PeeWee055]] ([[User talk:PeeWee055|talk]]) 15:53, 3 July 2014 (EDT)
:That is not the same as the grip that is in the museum pic you posted though, it is one of the factory types that was used on the para/commondo/SOE Stens. This one is made from a flat bar us opposed to a hollow U section, and it has a squared off corners rather than being rounded. It appears closer to [https://d2t1xqejof9utc.cloudfront.net/screenshots/pics/f41c6e4ff1e20ff3a0dec7a16ca5816d/large.jpg this one] which was one of the grips used on the experimental pistol-gripped Stens. --[[User:Commando552|commando552]] ([[User talk:Commando552|talk]]) 17:21, 3 July 2014 (EDT)
::You'd think they'd add a forward pistol grip to make up for the loss of the shoulder stock. --[[User:Funkychinaman|Funkychinaman]] ([[User talk:Funkychinaman|talk]]) 17:31, 3 July 2014 (EDT)
:::I think the whole point of it was to make a weapon that was as small and non-snagging as possible to strap to your side during a parachute jump, or in the case of SOE use to conceal under clothing, so adding a forward grip would have been contrary to this. It was designed to be held by the heatshield (or by the magazine although this could cause jams and was discouraged) and at the ranges it was intended to be used I don't think a forward grip would have helped all that much. I don't know how this was slung, but it might have been the case that it was designed to be braced forward against the sling to stabilise it. On the topic, I have also seen Stens that have a rather nifty folding stock attached to the pistol grip sort of like the one used on the [[Carl Gustav M/45]], but contrary to what some sellers would ahve you believe I think these are all reproductions, with the real WWII version never really leaving the drawing board. --[[User:Commando552|commando552]] ([[User talk:Commando552|talk]]) 17:50, 3 July 2014 (EDT)

'''''A Bridge Too Far''''' is a 1977 World War II film based on the 1974 bestselling book of the same name written by Cornelius Ryan and was directed by [[Richard Attenborough|Sir Richard Attenborough]], the British actor/director who was known for his work both in front of the camera (''[[The Great Escape]]'') as well as behind the camera (''[[Gandhi]]'') and perhaps is better known to younger viewers for his portrayal of "John Hammond" in the films ''[[Jurassic Park]]'' and ''[[The Lost World: Jurassic Park]]''. The screenplay adaptation was written by William Goldman (''[[Marathon Man]], [[Harper]], [[Misery]]'') and the film featured an all-star cast including [[Sean Connery]], [[Gene Hackman]], [[Laurence Olivier]], [[Ryan O'Neal]], [[Robert Redford]], [[James Caan]] and [[Anthony Hopkins]]. ''A Bridge Too Far'' follows the events surrounding Operation Market Garden, an audacious military plan to end the war in Europe by landing Allied paratroopers along a series of bridges in enemy-occupied Holland in order to allow a British armored column to pass into Germany.

'''See the [[Talk:A Bridge Too Far|Discussion]] section for some trivia on the film.'''

{{Film Title}}

__TOC__ 

=Allied Weapons=
==Rifles/Carbines==
===Lee-Enfield No.4 Mk 1*===
The [[Lee-Enfield No.4 Mk 1*]] is carried by the majority of the British troops, mostly the Grenadier Guards in the armored column as well as the British 1st Airborne Division when they were trapped in Arnhem. The No.4 Mk 1* rifle was also seen in the hands of the Polish Airborne Brigade troops. Colonel John Frost ([[Anthony Hopkins]]) was also seen using a No.4 Mk 1* rifle during the later stages of the battle for Arnhem.

===M1 Garand===
The main rifle used by US Airborne troops in the film is the [[M1 Garand]]. A gas-operated clip-fed semi-automatic shoulder weapon, it served as the primary American weapon from 1942-1957 and notably used by Major Julian Cook ([[Robert Redford]]) of the 82nd Airborne while leading his men to capture the Nijmegen Bridge. German troops crossing a small bridge also appear to be carrying M1 Garands. Though it's quite possible German soldiers could have used captured American Garands, but their use in this particular sequence appears to be continuity error.

[[File:BridgeTooFar 2043.jpg|thumb|none|600px|German soldiers with their captured M1 Garands.]]

===M1 Carbine===
The [[M1 Carbine]] is also used by US Airborne officers and NCOs in the film. Most notably seen when Sergeant Eddie Dohun ([[James Caan]]) pulls one out of his jeep when he is hiding from a German patrol in the forest. Also used by Col. Robert Stout ([[Elliott Gould]]) when leading the charge to capture the Son Bridge.
[[Image:M1-Carbine.jpg|thumb|none|450px|World War II Era M1 Carbine with dark walnut stock, 'L' peep sight and no bayonet lug - correct for most of WW2, shown with khaki sling and magazine pouch for buttstock - .30 Carbine]]
[[Image:BTF-M1Carbine 01A.jpg‎|thumb|none|600px|Col. Robert Stout ([[Elliott Gould]]) leads 101st Airborne paratroopers in his charge to capture the Son Bridge. Stout carries a correct World War II era M1 Carbine. The character of Col. Stout was based on Colonel Robert Sink (portrayed by [[Dale Dye]] in the miniseries ''[[Band of Brothers]]''), commander of the 506th Parachute Infantry Regiment, which was about to seize the Son Bridge when the Germans managed to blow it up just before they got there.]]
[[Image:M1CarbineLateModel.jpg|thumb|none|450px|M1 Carbine, late 1945 issue - .30 Carbine.

[[Image:BTF-M1-CarbineA.jpg‎|thumb|none|600px|An exhausted 101st Airborne MP points the way with his M1 Carbine. Note that though the "L" peep sight is correct, but the bayonet lug is Korean War issue.]]

[[Image:BTF-M1-Carbine 03A.jpg‎‎|thumb|none|600px|Closer shot of Sgt. Eddie Dohun with his anachronistic Korean War vintage M1 Carbine.]]

===M1A1 'Paratrooper' Carbine===
A folding stock version of the M1 Carbine, the [[M1_Carbine#M1.2FM1A1_Carbine|M1A1 Carbine]] ''should'' have been more prevalent among the US Airborne troops, however only a few samples are ever seen in the film, most notably during large scenes of massing troops.
[[Image:M1A1Carbine.jpg|thumb|none|450px|M1A1 Carbine with original 'L' style rear sight, and side-folding stock, often referred to as the 'Paratrooper' Carbine - .30 Carbine]]
[[Image:BTF-M1A1CarbineA.jpg‎|thumb|none|600px|The US Airborne troops on the far left are seen carrying the M1A1 Carbines.]]

==Handguns==
===Colt M1911A1===
The [[Colt M1911A1]] is used throughout the film, especially by Sgt. Eddie Dohun ([[James Caan]]) when threatening an Army combat surgeon (Arthur Hill) in order to convince him to treat his wounded captain ([[Nicholas Campbell]]). The handgun is also seen, albeit briefly, holstered amongst American officers, NCOs and Military Police.
[[Image:M1911Colt.jpg|thumb|none|300px|Colt M1911A1 - .45 ACP]]
[[Image:BridgeTooFar 2000.jpg‎|thumb|none|600px|Sgt. Eddie Dohun ([[James Caan]]) cleans his M1911A1.]]
[[Image:BTF-M1911 03A.jpg‎|thumb|none|600px|Sgt. Eddie Dohun ([[James Caan]]) threatens the combat surgeon (Arthur Hill) to convince him to treat his friend and commanding officer.]]

===Colt M1911===
Apparently, the widespread issue of [[Browning Hi-Power]] pistols (the iconic handgun of elite British Military units in World War II) to British Airborne units only started after Operation Market Garden, so it is appropriate that they are seen using another handgun. A likely candidate in this case is the [[Colt M1911]] chambered in .455 Webley, issued to members of the R.A.F. In the film, the M1911 is used by British 1st Airborne Major General Roy Urquhart ([[Sean Connery]]) and several other Airborne officers as they try to evade capture by Waffen SS forces.
[[Image:M1911-RAFIssue455.jpg|thumb|none|300px|Colt M1911 - .455 Webley, a licensed handgun to the British Armed Forces after World War 1, issued to members of the R.A.F. (and possibly by association, members of the Army Airborne)]]

[[Image:Bridge 09.jpg‎|thumb|none|600px|Urquhart ([[Sean Connery]]) fires his M1911 variant at a German soldier outside the window.]]

==Submachine Guns==
===Sten Mk V===
The [[Sten Mk V]] is the standard submachine gun for British and Polish Airborne units in the film, most featured had the forward pistol grip removed as was the case for Operation Market Garden.
[[Image:Sten Mk5.JPG|thumb|none|400px|Sten Mk V - 9x19mm]]
[[File:BridgeTooFar 2026.jpg|thumb|none|600px|A British paratrooper on the left carries the Sten Mk V that still is fitted with a forward pistol grip.]]

[[Image:BTF-Sten 009A.jpg‎|thumb|none|600px|A British paratrooper responds to Col. Frost, carrying a Sten Mk V.]]

===M1A1 Thompson===
The [[M1A1 Thompson]] is briefly seen in the hands of US Airborne troops during the drop into Holland. Strangely, the Thompson is not prominently featured in the film despite being one of the primary weapons carried by the US Airborne along with M1 Garands and M1A1 folding stock Carbines.

[[Image:BridgeTooFar 2016.jpg‎|thumb|none|600px|The paratrooper on the right holds his M1A1 Thompson.]]

===M1928A1 Thompson===
At least one [[M1928A1 Thompson]] is seen being carried by one of the US Airborne paratroopers.
[[Image:M1928-A1_T.jpg|thumb|none|400px|M1928A1 Thompson with 30 round magazine - .45 ACP. This variant has the 'simplified' rear sight that would be adopted for the M1 Thompson.]]

==Machine Guns==
===M1918 Browning Automatic Rifle===
The [[Browning Automatic Rifle]] is carried by US Airborne troops in the film, notably by 82nd Airborne troops during the assault on the Nijmegen Bridge.
[[File:BARearlymodel.jpg|thumb|none|450px|Early version M1918 Browning Automatic Rifle - .30-06]]

This appears to be an older model M1918 BAR, rather than the M1918A1 or M1918A2, noted by the particular early handguard and lack of bipod.]]

===Bren Mk I===
[[Bren Mk I]] light machine guns are also used by the British Grenadier Guards of XXX Corps.

[[Image:Bridge 4506.jpg|thumb|none|600px|A British 1st Airborne soldier readies to fire his Bren.]]

===Browning M2HB===
The [[Browning M2HB]] is used by British Armored troops, mounted on their Lend-Lease Sherman tanks and half-tracks.

===Vickers Machine Gun===
The [[Vickers]] machine gun is used by the Grenadier Guards of XXX Corps.

==Others==
===PIAT===
The [[PIAT]] (''Projector Infantry Anti-Tank'') spigot mortar is seen throughout the film being used by British and Polish Airborne units (who were similarly equipped). This weapon fired a 3 pound hollow charge warhead via means of a powerful spring which ignited its propellant. The weapon had a powerful recoil, which necessitated it being fired prone since any other position would knock the user flat down. Seen especially during the repulse of the initial German assault on Arnhem Bridge.

===No. 2 Portable Flamethrower===
A [[No. 2 Portable Flamethrower]] is used in the attack on the German bunker on Arnhem Bridge. This weapon, known as the "Lifebuoy" for its resemblance to a lifesaver, was the standard British flamethrower.
[[Image:Flame1.JPG|thumb|none|400px|No. 2 Portable Flamethrower]]‎

=Axis Weapons=
==Rifles==
===Karabiner 98k===
The [[Karabiner 98k]] was the standard weapon for all German ground forces during World War II. Several of the rifles used in the film appear to be shortened [[Gewehr 98]] rifles, based on the prominent ''Lange-Visier'' rear sight. This is a very uncommon conversion; most Gew.98-to-Kar98k conversions used the tangent-leaf sight of the Weimar-refurbished Gewehr 98.

=Allied and Axis Armor=
==Leopard 1 Main Battle Tank (mocked up as a German Panther)==
1960s vintage '''Leopard 1 tanks''' were mocked up to resemble the World War II German Panther tank. The Leopard 1 tanks had 105mm main guns and two 7.62x51mm machine guns ([[FN MAG]]s or [[MG3]]s). What is interesting is that supposedly all of the original cast hull Leopard 1 tanks were converted into the newer Leopard 1A1 during the 1970s (with upgraded armor, track skirts and thermal jacket on the gun barrel), however, despite the 'film' modifications to make it look like a Panther, this is an original and unconverted Leopard 1. Since the film was mostly shot on location in the Netherlands (where many of the original battles took place), this is most likely a Dutch Army Leopard, one of the batch purchased from West Germany in 1969 (when the Netherlands officially adopted the Leopard as its main battle tank).
[[Image:Leopard_1_001.jpg‎‎|thumb|none|500px|Leopard 1 tank. Notice the marks on the gun mantlet. Also notice how the modern sights and smoke grenade launchers are covered up in the film. Also note the shape of the driver's hatch.]]
[[Image:BTF-LeopardA.jpg‎|thumb|none|600px|The German "Panther" tank is seen from an attic window. Note that in this shot a fake muzzle brake has been added to simulate the one on the real Panther's 7.5 cm KwK 42 L/70 main gun.]]

[[Image:Bridge 4501.jpg‎|thumb|none|600px|Rear view of "Panther" tank.]]

==Sherman Tanks==
In order to supplement the actual tanks used in the depiction of the XXX Corps' column, several of the Shermans were actually fibreglass replicas (cast from real tanks) that were placed over LWB Land Rovers.
[[Image:BridgeTooFar 2015.jpg‎‎|thumb|none|600px|The tanks seen in this column are of several versions; note the (hard to distinguish) third and the fourth tanks have the less angular cast hull of an early-production Sherman while the others have the later welded hull, and the mixture of early-war vertical and late-war horizontal volute spring suspensions.]]
[[File:BridgeTooFarSherman1.jpg|thumb|none|600px|This is a late M4A1(76) with the newer E8 HVSS track suspension.]]

[[Image:GreatEscapeCover.jpg|thumb|right|302px|''The Great Escape (1963)'']]

'''''The Great Escape''''' is the classic 1963 World War II escape thriller directed by [[John Sturges]] and was based on the true story of one of the largest escape attempts made by Allied prisoners from a German POW camp during the war. The all-star cast included [[Steve McQueen]], [[James Garner]], [[Richard Attenborough]], [[James Coburn]], [[Donald Pleasence]], [[Charles Bronson]], and [[David McCallum]].

==Karabiner 98k==
Luftwaffe soldiers at the camp are seen armed with [[Karabiner 98k]] rifles. Flight Lt. Hendly ([[James Garner]]) commandeers one from an airfield guard.

This gun has a straight bolt, which isn't correct for the era as the German issued models had turned bolts. This implies this is a Kar98k stock and barrel with an older 1920s straight bolt action reciever.]]

==Mauser Competition Rifle==
A Wehrmacht soldier is seen using an unknown sniper rifle to shoot Flight Lt. Colin Blythe "The Forger" ([[Donald Pleasence]]). It would appear to be a sporterized Kar98k with a scope, although an actually Kar98k sniper rifle issued at the time was not sporterized.

The [[MP40]] submachine gun is seen in the hands of NCOs and several camp guards, who would just as likely be issued a MP40 as a Kar98k.

==MG42==
Luftwaffe guards man [[MG42]] machine guns in the camp perimeter towers. A group of French Resistance fighters use an MG42 to mow down German officers during a drive-by shooting. The Waffen SS are seen using an MG42 near the film's end (in reality, what was done to the escaped POW's was spread out over several instances).

=Pistols=
==Luger P08==
All high ranking officers and soldiers at the camp keep [[Luger P08]] pistols as their sidearms. After the escape, Cpt. Hilts ([[Steve McQueen]]) plants clear wire on a road way and causes a German soldier on a bike (secretivly played by Steve McQueen) to crash. He steals the soldier's uniform and Luger before eventually being captured.

A German officer stops Squadron Leader Roger Bartlett "Big X" ([[Richard Attenborough]]) on the street and holds a [[Mauser Pocket Pistol|Mauser 1934]] "Humpback" pistol on him before being convinced he is a citizen by his fluent German and authentic papers. While it could be a Mauser 1910 or 1914 pistol, it is likely a 1934 since this is a WWII film.

[[Vickers K machine gun]]s are fitted to British Motor Torpedo Boats. This is potentially anachronistic because as a general rule Motor Torpedo Boats at the time were fitted with ground pattern [[Lewis Gun]]s, not being replaced with the Vickers K until 1942. The actual boat used during production is MTB 102 which was actually present during the real Dunkirk evacuation (acting as the flagship for Rear Admiral Wake-Walker), and is in fact the sole surviving Royal Navy vessel that participated in the operation.

==Walther PPK==
James Bond ([[Pierce Brosnan]]) uses a [[Walther PPK]] as his sidearm (in the opening scene at the chemical weapons factory, it is fitted with a suppressor). In one scene of the film, Bond points this gun at Valentin Zukovsky ([[Robbie Coltrane]]), who identifies it by the sound of the hammer being cocked as a ''"Walther PPK, Seven-Point-Six-Five-Millimeter"'', thus leaving the viewers with no doubt about the weapon's caliber. Later in the film, General Ourumov uses it to shoot at Russian Defense Minister Dimitri Mishkin ([[Tchéky Karyo]]) and a nearby guard, before handing it back to Bond after unloading the magazine (but not the chamber!) and calling the guards to kill him.

==Browning BDA==
In the opening scene at the chemical weapons factory, Alec Trevelyan ([[Sean Bean]]) uses a [[Browning BDA]] fitted with a suppressor as his sidearm. The pistol switches to the [[Browning BDM]] in some scenes.
[[Image:Browning-BDA-9mm.jpg|thumb|none|300px|Browning BDA - 9x19mm]]
[[Image:GEBHP.jpg|thumb|601px|none|Alec Trevelyan ([[Sean Bean]]) points his suppressed Browning BDA at Bond while he confirms his identity at the chemical weapons factory.]]

==Browning BDM==
Trevelyan ([[Sean Bean]]) is seen brandishing a [[Browning BDM]], a modernized, double-action variant of the [[Browning Hi-Power]], throughout the film. Due to a continuity error, the BDM sometimes replaces his [[Browning BDA]] at the beginning of the film set in 1986 (which would be anachronistic, since the BDM was not around at that time). Also used during the finale of the movie, which takes place at Trevelyan's secret Goldeneye satellite control dish in Cuba. During the fight between Trevelyan and Bond on the transmitter above the dish, Bond gets a hold of the BDM, and turns it against Trevelyan, who later reclaims the weapon from Bond, but eventually runs out of ammo.

[[Image:GEbdm8.jpg|thumb|601px|none|Bond with Trevelyan's BDM as he finds a blood trail.]]

==Makarov PM==
General Ourumov ([[Gottfried John]]) uses a [[Makarov_PM#Makarov_PM|Makarov PM]] as his standard sidearm. It is used most notably in the opening sequence at the chemical weapons factory, when he uses it to threaten Trevelyan. Ourumov then uses it to shoot an unlucky soldier for shooting at Bond against his orders (as Bond was hiding behind a cart full of volatile chemicals, so Ourumov told all the soldiers to hold their fire). He is then seen using it to hold Natalya Simonova ([[Izabella Scorupco]]) at gunpoint with it when he captures her. At the satellite dish in Cuba, Bond gives one to her and she uses it to hold a helicopter pilot at gunpoint with it.

[[Image:GEmakarov5.jpg|thumb|601px|none|Natalya ([[Izabella Scorupco]]) holds her Makarov on the helicopter pilot.]]

==CZ 52==
When he meets Zukovsky at his night club in St. Petersburg, Bond makes a disparaging comment about the singing talents of Zukovsky's mistress, causing Zukovsky to pull a Czech [[CZ 52]] pistol from beneath his jacket and fire a round into the couch between Bond's legs. He continues to fire two more rounds as a way of threatening Bond.

[[Image:GE52.jpg|thumb|601px|none|Zukovsky ([[Robbie Coltrane]]) with his CZ 52 after trying to intimidate Bond.]]

==Beretta 418==
Xenia Onatopp shoots the two Tiger Pilots with a nickel compact pistol fitted with what appears to be a suppressor. The pistol strongly resembles a [[Beretta 418]]. Speculation also suggests that according to a production photo, Xenia is posing with what could be a suppressed [[Llama XV]]. While a signed publicity photo from the movie shows her (Famke Janssen) with what is clearly a [[Walther PPK]] with the same finish and suppressor configuration, it's unlikely that this is the same pistol.

==MAS / MAC mle. 1950 pistol==
When Bond attempts to stop the Tiger helicopter on the frigate La Fayette, a French sailor points an [[MAC Mle 1950|MAS / MAC mle. 1950 pistol]].
[[File:Mas 1950.jpg|thumb|none|300px|French MAS Mle 1950 pistol - 9x19mm Parabellum.]]

[[Image:GEpistol3.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The pistol pointed at Bond.]]

==Glock 17==
In a deleted scene, the Pakistani arms dealer tries to sell a [[Glock 17]] pistol to Valentin Zukovsky. However, Zukovsky points out to the arms dealer that the pistol was a Chinese counterfeit of the original Glock 17. Eventually, Zukovsky threatens him with it, revealing a flaw in the counterfeit weapon.

[[File:Goldeneye 992.jpg|thumb|none|600px|In a deleted scene, Valentin Zukovsky (Robbie Coltrane) holds up a Glock 17 pistol. He correctly identifies the weapon as a Glock.]]

[[Image:Glock_Goldeneye_2.jpg|600px|thumb|none|Lucky for him, those silly Chinese made the firing pin too short. All the dealer gets is a click.]]

=Rifles=
==AKS-74U==
Bond very frequently uses the [[AKS-74U]], the compact version of the [[AK-74]], by taking them from slain or incapacitated Russian soldiers. He first acquires this weapon during the opening scene at the chemical weapons factory, and then again during the escape from the Soviet archives (he takes this AKS-74U in the T-55 tank with him, and then uses it again when he confronts Trevelyan on his train).

Xenia Onatopp ([[Famke Janssen]]) also uses an AKS-74U (with two magazines "jungle-taped" together). She first uses this weapon to kill all of the technicians at the Severnaya Goldeneye control center, and then is seen carrying it again on Trevelyan's missile train (however, she drops it when the train crashes, and when Trevelyan tries to grab it, he is stopped by Bond, who points his own AKS-74U at him).

==Norinco Type 56 and Type 56-1 (mocked up as AK-74 and AKS-74)==
The weapons used by the Russian soldiers throughout the movie (and by Bond and Trevelyan during the shootout on the satellite dish) are often referred to as [[AK-74#AK-74|AK-74]] or [[AKS-74]] rifles. This is correct in some instances, but wrong in most cases. The vast majority of the so-called "AK-74s" used by Russian soldiers in this movie are actually [[Norinco Type 56]] and [[Norinco Type 56|Type 56-1]] rifles, Chinese copies of the [[AKM]] and [[AKMS]]. The prop weapons used in the movie have been fitted with AK-74-style muzzle brakes and orange bakelite magazines to make them resemble AKS-74s, but the giveaway is the fact that the weapons clearly have under-folding stocks (on the AKS-74, the stock folds to the side), and more curved magazines for 7.62x39mm ammo (the AK-74 magazines are less curved). The weapons are clearly identifiable as Norinco Type 56 and Type 56-1s because they have the distinctive hooded front sights which characterize only Chinese-made Kalashnikov variants.

On a few occasions in the movie, it is possible to spot genuine AK-74 and AKS-74 rifles in the hands of some of the Russian soldiers (see below), usually in non-firing scenes. These are not nearly as common, however, as the mocked-up Chinese Type 56s which are intended to pass for AK-74s.
[[Image:Norinco56Mockup.jpg‎|thumb|450px|none|A Norinco Type 56 rifle (7.62x39mm) mocked up to look like an AK-74 in the film ''GoldenEye''. This example has the orange "bakelite" magazine rather than the standard metal one and an AK-74 "Style" buttstock. In ''GoldenEye'', there are also '''underfolder Chinese Type 56-1 rifles''' similarly mocked up as all as a few real '''AKS-74''' (5.45x39mm) rifles in the scene at the chemical weapons factory.]]

[[Image:GEtype566.jpg|thumb|601px|none|Bond drops his Type 56-1 after running out of ammunition]]

==AKS-74==
As mentioned previously, there are some genuine [[AK-74#AK-74|AK-74]] and [[AKS-74]] rifles in the film. At least one AKS-74 can be seen clearly in the hands of a Russian soldier in the chemical weapons plant, and another is fired at Bond's T-55 during the chase through St. Petersburg.
[[Image:Aks74.jpg|thumb|450px|none|AKS-74 - 5.45x39mm]]
[[Image:GEAK74aa.jpg|thumb|601px|none|A genuine AKS-74 in the hands of a Russian soldier at the chemical weapons factory. Unlike the rifles above, this weapon appears to be an authentic AKS-74 because it has a side-folding stock, and the magazine has less of a curve, indicating that it is a 5.45x39mm model. It also does not have the hooded front sight of the Chinese AKM variants seen above. The soldier to the right can be seen with a fixed-stock AK-74 as well. The soldier on the far left appears to be aiming at his comrade!]]
[[Image:GEak742.jpg|thumb|601px|none|A genuine AKS-74 in the hands of a Russian soldier, being fired at Bond's T-55.]]

==AK-74==
Full-stock [[AK-74#AK-74|AK-74]] rifles are visible in some scenes, though most of those used appear to be rubber stunt versions.

==M16A2==
When Bond and Natalya are in a field near the destroyed Janus base, CIA officer Jack Wade ([[Joe Don Baker]]) approaches them and calls out a squad of previously hidden US Marines, who are armed with [[M16A2]] rifles.
[[Image:M16A2.jpg|thumb|450px|none|M16A2 - 5.56x45mm]]

==SVD==
Another soldier is armed with what appears to be an [[SVD Dragunov]], but it is too hard to tell for sure (it may also be a Chinese Type 79 or some other copy).

==MAS-49/56 Rifle==
When the Eurocopter Tiger demonstration is being given aboard the French Navy ship a French Sailor can be seen briefly armed with a [[MAS-49|MAS-49/56]].

=Machine Guns=
==RPK==
Outside the chemical facility, before General Ourumov emerges through the crowd of soldiers, one Russian on the far right is holding an [[RPK light machine gun#RPK-74|RPK light machine gun]], distinguishable by the bipod on the bottom. Like the Chinese Type 56 rifles seen in the film, it is fitted with an orange bakelite magazine. The weapon may be a Chinese clone of the RPK, such as the NMD-83, but it is hard to tell.
[[Image:RPK lmg.jpg|thumb|none|450px|RPK light machine gun with 40 round magazine - 7.62x39mm]]
[[Image:GERPK.jpg|thumb|none|600px|RPK in red circle.]]
[[Image:GERPK2.jpg|thumb|none|600px|RPK in red circle.]]

==RPD Light Machine Gun==
An [[RPD light machine gun|RPD]] light machine gun is also used by at least one of the Soviet soldiers in the opening scene. The RPD is somewhat anachronistic for the time period shown, as the [[PK machine gun]] had largely replaced it by this time.
[[Image:RPD-Light-Machine-Gun.jpg|thumb|none|450px|RPD light machine gun - 7.62x39mm]]
[[Image:GERPD.jpg|thumb|none|600px|RPD in purple circle.]]

==PKM Machine Gun==
Another weapon visible in the opening sequence in the hands of a soldier is a [[PK Machine Gun#Kalashnikov PK/PKM Machine Gun|PKM]] light machine gun (or some other copy).
[[Image:PKM-mg.jpg|thumb|450px|none|PKM machine gun - 7.62x54mm R]]
[[Image:GEPKaa.jpg|thumb|none|600px|PKM light machine gun in orange circle.]]

==DShK==
A [[DShK heavy machine gun]] is mounted on a T-55 tank (disguised to resemble a T-80) that Bond commandeers for the St. Petersburg chase scene.
[[Image:DSHK.jpg|thumb|none|450px|DShKM heavy machine gun - 12.7x109mm]]

Also visible are the rubber-padded tracks from a British Chieftain, which were fitted to stop the tank chewing up the streets during the chase sequence (some of which was filmed on location in St. Petersburg, though using a mockup instead of the real tank).]]

==M134 Minigun==
When Bond is meeting with Q (Desmond Llewelyn) in his lab, a [[GE M134 Minigun]] can be briefly seen mounted on what appears to be a Polaris Big Boss 250 all-terrain vehicle.
[[Image:M134.JPG|thumb|none|450px|GE M134 Minigun - 7.62x51mm NATO]]
[[Image:GEm134.jpg|thumb|601px|none|A GE M134 Minigun mounted on a Polaris Big Boss 250 ATV]]

=Submachine Guns=
==Heckler & Koch MP5A5==
In a deleted scene, Valentin Zukovsky ([[Robbie Coltrane]]) is seen handling a [[Heckler & Koch MP5A5]] submachine gun during a deal with a Pakistani arms dealer. However, Zukovsky pointed out to the arms dealer that the MP5 he selling to him was a Czech counterfeit gun.
[[Image:H&KMP5A5.jpg|thumb|none|400px|Heckler and Koch MP5A5 - 9x19mm. Same as the MP5A4 but with a telescoping stock. Both the A4 & A5 variants have the additional option for '3 round burst' on the selector.]]

[[Image:Mp5_Goldeneye.jpg|600px|thumb|none|Zukovsky picks up the weapon. He describes the weapon as a "Heckler & Koch MP5". ]]

=Other Weapons=
==Norinco Type 69==
When the Soviets pursue Bond on the runway, a couple of them can be seen wielding [[RPG-7#Type 69 RPG|Chinese Type 69]] launchers.
[[Image:Type69RPG.jpg|thumb|none|450px|Norinco Type 69 - 40mm]]

==Mk 19 Grenade Launcher==
Also seen briefly in Q's (Desmond Llewelyn) lab is a [[Mk 19 grenade launcher]] mounted on what appears to be a Polaris Big Boss 250 all-terrain vehicle.
[[Image:US Mk. 19 40mm grenade machine-gun.jpg|thumb|450px|none|Mk 19 grenade launcher in vehicle mounting - 40mm]]

==M136 AT4==
In addition to the aforementioned Minigun, the ATV is also shown with two [[AT4]] missile tubes on it.

==Grappling Gun==
At the film's beginning, Bond is seen using a small pistol-type weapon to fire a grappling hook. This weapon appears to be built off a [[Ruger]]-type pistol and is fitted with a cutting laser as well.

[[Image:Goldeneye 903.jpg|thumb|none|601px|The weapon fitted with a cutting laser as well.]]

==Miscellaneous==
===Chieftains and T-55s mocked up as T-80s===
The Russian T-80 tanks in the film were British Chieftains and older model T-55s mocked up to resemble the newer tanks. Bond's T-55 had a hole cut in the right side of the upper hull (with a fake fibreglass hatch) for Pierce Brosnan to stand up in when he is "driving" it, since a T-55's driver's position is on the left. The tracks on this tank were modified Chieftan tracks with rubber pads - these were made narrower to fit. This was done as T-55s only had all metal tracks and these were not allowed to be used in the city streets.
[[Image:GEt623.jpg|thumb|none|601px|Three British Chieftains (foreground and far right) and two Russian T-55s (top right, just in front of the trucks, and top left, covered in a green sheet) mocked up as T-80s]]

===Leg Cast Launcher===
While in his lab, Q shows off a rocket launcher hidden inside a leg cast.
[[File:Goldeneye 929.jpg|thumb|none|600px|While in his lab, Q shows off a rocket launcher hidden inside a leg cast.]]

===The Gunbarrel===
The opening gunbarrel sequence was completely overhauled for ''GoldenEye'', with CGI employed to create the image (instead of a still photograph taken through the barrel of a real gun). As a result, the sequence now includes animated shadows inside the barrel as it pans across the screen.

'''''Goldeneye''''' is the 17th entry in the official [[James Bond]] film series and marked the debut of [[Pierce Brosnan]] as Agent 007. The 1995 film follows Bond as he investigates the theft of the key to a secret Russian EMP weapon. His investigation leads to an organization of arms dealers and the reappearance of someone from Bond's past. The film's cast included [[Famke Janssen]], [[Sean Bean]], and [[Judi Dench]] in her debut as M. ''Goldeneye'' was directed by [[Martin Campbell]], who also would direct [[Daniel Craig]]'s debut Bond film ''[[Casino Royale (2006)]]''. The film also would inspire a popular [[GoldenEye 007|FPS videogame]] for the N64 as well as its [[GoldenEye 007 (2010)|2010 remake]].

==Walther PPK==
James Bond ([[Pierce Brosnan]]) uses a [[Walther PPK]] as his sidearm (in the opening scene at the chemical weapons factory, it is fitted with a suppressor). In one scene of the film, Bond points this gun at Valentin Zukovsky ([[Robbie Coltrane]]), who identifies it by the sound of the hammer being cocked as a ''"Walther PPK, Seven-Point-Six-Five-Millimeter"'', thus leaving the viewers with no doubt about the weapon's caliber. Later in the film, General Ourumov uses it to shoot at Russian Defense Minister Dimitri Mishkin ([[Tchéky Karyo]]) and a nearby guard, before handing it back to Bond after unloading the magazine (but not the chamber!) and calling the guards to kill him.

==Browning BDA==
In the opening scene at the chemical weapons factory, Alec Trevelyan ([[Sean Bean]]) uses a [[Browning BDA]] fitted with a suppressor as his sidearm. The pistol switches to the [[Browning BDM]] in some scenes.
[[Image:Browning-BDA-9mm.jpg|thumb|none|300px|Browning BDA - 9x19mm]]
[[Image:GEBHP.jpg|thumb|601px|none|Alec Trevelyan ([[Sean Bean]]) points his suppressed Browning BDA at Bond while he confirms his identity at the chemical weapons factory.]]

==Browning BDM==
Trevelyan ([[Sean Bean]]) is seen brandishing a [[Browning BDM]], a modernized, double-action variant of the [[Browning Hi-Power]], throughout the film. Due to a continuity error, the BDM sometimes replaces his [[Browning BDA]] at the beginning of the film set in 1986 (which would be anachronistic, since the BDM was not around at that time). Also used during the finale of the movie, which takes place at Trevelyan's secret Goldeneye satellite control dish in Cuba. During the fight between Trevelyan and Bond on the transmitter above the dish, Bond gets a hold of the BDM, and turns it against Trevelyan, who later reclaims the weapon from Bond, but eventually runs out of ammo.

[[Image:GEbdm8.jpg|thumb|601px|none|Bond with Trevelyan's BDM as he finds a blood trail.]]

==Makarov PM==
General Ourumov ([[Gottfried John]]) uses a [[Makarov_PM#Makarov_PM|Makarov PM]] as his standard sidearm. It is used most notably in the opening sequence at the chemical weapons factory, when he uses it to threaten Trevelyan. Ourumov then uses it to shoot an unlucky soldier for shooting at Bond against his orders (as Bond was hiding behind a cart full of volatile chemicals, so Ourumov told all the soldiers to hold their fire). He is then seen using it to hold Natalya Simonova ([[Izabella Scorupco]]) at gunpoint with it when he captures her. At the satellite dish in Cuba, Bond gives one to her and she uses it to hold a helicopter pilot at gunpoint with it.

[[Image:GEmakarov5.jpg|thumb|601px|none|Natalya ([[Izabella Scorupco]]) holds her Makarov on the helicopter pilot.]]

==CZ 52==
When he meets Zukovsky at his night club in St. Petersburg, Bond makes a disparaging comment about the singing talents of Zukovsky's mistress, causing Zukovsky to pull a Czech [[CZ 52]] pistol from beneath his jacket and fire a round into the couch between Bond's legs. He continues to fire two more rounds as a way of threatening Bond.

[[Image:GE52.jpg|thumb|601px|none|Zukovsky ([[Robbie Coltrane]]) with his CZ 52 after trying to intimidate Bond.]]

==Beretta 418==
Xenia Onatopp shoots the two Tiger Pilots with a nickel compact pistol fitted with what appears to be a suppressor. The pistol strongly resembles a [[Beretta 418]]. Speculation also suggests that according to a production photo, Xenia is posing with what could be a suppressed [[Llama XV]]. While a signed publicity photo from the movie shows her (Famke Janssen) with what is clearly a [[Walther PPK]] with the same finish and suppressor configuration, it's unlikely that this is the same pistol.

==MAS / MAC mle. 1950 pistol==
When Bond attempts to stop the Tiger helicopter on the frigate La Fayette, a French sailor points an [[MAC Mle 1950|MAS / MAC mle. 1950 pistol]].

==Glock 17==
In a deleted scene, the Pakistani arms dealer tries to sell a [[Glock 17]] pistol to Valentin Zukovsky. However, Zukovsky points out to the arms dealer that the pistol was a Chinese counterfeit of the original Glock 17. Eventually, Zukovsky threatens him with it, revealing a flaw in the counterfeit weapon.

[[Image:Glock_Goldeneye_2.jpg|600px|thumb|none|Lucky for him, those silly Chinese made the firing pin too short. All the dealer gets is a click.]]

=Rifles=
==AKS-74U==
Bond very frequently uses the [[AKS-74U]], the compact version of the [[AK-74]], by taking them from slain or incapacitated Russian soldiers. He first acquires this weapon during the opening scene at the chemical weapons factory, and then again during the escape from the Soviet archives (he takes this AKS-74U in the T-55 tank with him, and then uses it again when he confronts Trevelyan on his train).

Xenia Onatopp ([[Famke Janssen]]) also uses an AKS-74U (with two magazines "jungle-taped" together). She first uses this weapon to kill all of the technicians at the Severnaya Goldeneye control center, and then is seen carrying it again on Trevelyan's missile train (however, she drops it when the train crashes, and when Trevelyan tries to grab it, he is stopped by Bond, who points his own AKS-74U at him).

==Norinco Type 56 and Type 56-1 (mocked up as AK-74 and AKS-74)==
The weapons used by the Russian soldiers throughout the movie (and by Bond and Trevelyan during the shootout on the satellite dish) are often referred to as [[AK-74#AK-74|AK-74]] or [[AKS-74]] rifles. This is correct in some instances, but wrong in most cases. The vast majority of the so-called "AK-74s" used by Russian soldiers in this movie are actually [[Norinco Type 56]] and [[Norinco Type 56|Type 56-1]] rifles, Chinese copies of the [[AKM]] and [[AKMS]]. The prop weapons used in the movie have been fitted with AK-74-style muzzle brakes and orange bakelite magazines to make them resemble AKS-74s, but the giveaway is the fact that the weapons clearly have under-folding stocks (on the AKS-74, the stock folds to the side), and more curved magazines for 7.62x39mm ammo (the AK-74 magazines are less curved). The weapons are clearly identifiable as Norinco Type 56 and Type 56-1s because they have the distinctive hooded front sights which characterize only Chinese-made Kalashnikov variants.

On a few occasions in the movie, it is possible to spot genuine AK-74 and AKS-74 rifles in the hands of some of the Russian soldiers (see below), usually in non-firing scenes. These are not nearly as common, however, as the mocked-up Chinese Type 56s which are intended to pass for AK-74s.

In ''GoldenEye'', there are also '''underfolder Chinese Type 56-1 rifles''' similarly mocked up as all as a few real '''AKS-74''' (5.45x39mm) rifles in the scene at the chemical weapons factory.]]

==AKS-74==
As mentioned previously, there are some genuine [[AK-74#AK-74|AK-74]] and [[AKS-74]] rifles in the film. At least one AKS-74 can be seen clearly in the hands of a Russian soldier in the chemical weapons plant, and another is fired at Bond's T-55 during the chase through St. Petersburg.
[[Image:Aks74.jpg|thumb|450px|none|AKS-74 - 5.45x39mm]]
[[Image:GEAK74aa.jpg|thumb|601px|none|A genuine AKS-74 in the hands of a Russian soldier at the chemical weapons factory. Unlike the rifles above, this weapon appears to be an authentic AKS-74 because it has a side-folding stock, and the magazine has less of a curve, indicating that it is a 5.45x39mm model. It also does not have the hooded front sight of the Chinese AKM variants seen above. The soldier to the right can be seen with a fixed-stock AK-74 as well. The soldier on the far left appears to be aiming at his comrade!]]
[[Image:GEak742.jpg|thumb|601px|none|A genuine AKS-74 in the hands of a Russian soldier, being fired at Bond's T-55.]]

==AK-74==
Full-stock [[AK-74#AK-74|AK-74]] rifles are visible in some scenes, though most of those used appear to be rubber stunt versions.

==M16A2==
When Bond and Natalya are in a field near the destroyed Janus base, CIA officer Jack Wade ([[Joe Don Baker]]) approaches them and calls out a squad of previously hidden US Marines, who are armed with [[M16A2]] rifles.

=Machine Guns=
==RPK==
Outside the chemical facility, before General Ourumov emerges through the crowd of soldiers, one Russian on the far right is holding an [[RPK light machine gun#RPK-74|RPK light machine gun]], distinguishable by the bipod on the bottom. Like the Chinese Type 56 rifles seen in the film, it is fitted with an orange bakelite magazine. The weapon may be a Chinese clone of the RPK, such as the NMD-83, but it is hard to tell.
[[Image:RPK lmg.jpg|thumb|none|450px|RPK light machine gun with 40 round magazine - 7.62x39mm]]
[[Image:GERPK.jpg|thumb|none|600px|RPK in red circle.]]
[[Image:GERPK2.jpg|thumb|none|600px|RPK in red circle.]]

==RPD Light Machine Gun==
An [[RPD light machine gun|RPD]] light machine gun is also used by at least one of the Soviet soldiers in the opening scene. The RPD is somewhat anachronistic for the time period shown, as the [[PK machine gun]] had largely replaced it by this time.
[[Image:RPD-Light-Machine-Gun.jpg|thumb|none|450px|RPD light machine gun - 7.62x39mm]]
[[Image:GERPD.jpg|thumb|none|600px|RPD in purple circle.]]

==PKM Machine Gun==
Another weapon visible in the opening sequence in the hands of a soldier is a [[PK Machine Gun#Kalashnikov PK/PKM Machine Gun|PKM]] light machine gun (or some other copy).
[[Image:PKM-mg.jpg|thumb|450px|none|PKM machine gun - 7.62x54mm R]]
[[Image:GEPKaa.jpg|thumb|none|600px|PKM light machine gun in orange circle.]]

==DShK==
A [[DShK heavy machine gun]] is mounted on a T-55 tank (disguised to resemble a T-80) that Bond commandeers for the St. Petersburg chase scene.
[[Image:DSHK.jpg|thumb|none|450px|DShKM heavy machine gun - 12.7x109mm]]

==M134 Minigun==
When Bond is meeting with Q (Desmond Llewelyn) in his lab, a [[GE M134 Minigun]] can be briefly seen mounted on what appears to be a Polaris Big Boss 250 all-terrain vehicle.
[[Image:M134.JPG|thumb|none|450px|GE M134 Minigun - 7.62x51mm NATO]]

=Submachine Guns=
==Heckler & Koch MP5A5==
In a deleted scene, Valentin Zukovsky ([[Robbie Coltrane]]) is seen handling a [[Heckler & Koch MP5A5]] submachine gun during a deal with a Pakistani arms dealer. However, Zukovsky pointed out to the arms dealer that the MP5 he selling to him was a Czech counterfeit gun.
[[Image:H&KMP5A5.jpg|thumb|none|400px|Heckler and Koch MP5A5 - 9x19mm. Same as the MP5A4 but with a telescoping stock. Both the A4 & A5 variants have the additional option for '3 round burst' on the selector.]]

[[Image:Mp5_Goldeneye.jpg|600px|thumb|none|Zukovsky picks up the weapon. He describes the weapon as a "Heckler & Koch MP5". ]]

=Other Weapons=
==Norinco Type 69==
When the Soviets pursue Bond on the runway, a couple of them can be seen wielding [[RPG-7#Type 69 RPG|Chinese Type 69]] launchers.
[[Image:Type69RPG.jpg|thumb|none|450px|Norinco Type 69 - 40mm]]

==Mk 19 Grenade Launcher==
Also seen briefly in Q's (Desmond Llewelyn) lab is a [[Mk 19 grenade launcher]] mounted on what appears to be a Polaris Big Boss 250 all-terrain vehicle.

==M136 AT4==
In addition to the aforementioned Minigun, the ATV is also shown with two [[AT4]] missile tubes on it.

==Grappling Gun==
At the film's beginning, Bond is seen using a small pistol-type weapon to fire a grappling hook. This weapon appears to be built off a [[Ruger]]-type pistol and is fitted with a cutting laser as well.

==Miscellaneous==
===Chieftains and T-55s mocked up as T-80s===
The Russian T-80 tanks in the film were British Chieftains and older model T-55s mocked up to resemble the newer tanks. Bond's T-55 had a hole cut in the right side of the upper hull for Pierce Brosnan to stand up in when he is "driving" it, since a T-55's driver's position is on the left. The tracks on this tank were modified Chieftan tracks with rubber pads - these were made narrower to fit. This was done as T-55s only had all metal tracks and these were not allowed to be used in the city streets.
[[Image:GEt623.jpg|thumb|none|601px|Three British Chieftains (foreground and far right) and two Russian T-55s (top right, just in front of the trucks, and top left, covered in a green sheet) mocked up as T-80s]]

===Leg Cast Launcher===
While in his lab, Q shows off a rocket launcher hidden inside a leg cast.
[[File:Goldeneye 929.jpg|thumb|none|600px|While in his lab, Q shows off a rocket launcher hidden inside a leg cast.]]

===The Gunbarrel===
The opening gunbarrel sequence was completely overhauled for ''GoldenEye'', with CGI employed to create the image (instead of a still photograph taken through the barrel of a real gun). As a result, the sequence now includes animated shadows inside the barrel as it pans across the screen.

Sidewinder Forge: /* M56 Smart Gun */

[[Image:Aliens_Poster.jpg|thumb|right|302px|''Aliens'' (1986)]]

'''''Aliens''''' is the 1986 sequel to ''[[Alien]]''. The now classic science fiction film was only the third feature directed by [[James Cameron]] (following ''Piranha Part Two'' and ''[[The Terminator]]''). [[Sigourney Weaver]] returns as Ellen Ripley, who travels with a platoon of US Colonial Marines to investigate a loss of contact with the colony established on the same planet discovered by the crew of the ''Nostromo'' in the original film. For ''Aliens'', the majority of the weapons seen in this film were actual firearms visually modified for the production.

=Colonial Marine Weapons=
==M41A Pulse Rifle==
The Marines of the United States Colonial Marine Corps (USCM) famously carry the [[M41A Pulse Rifle]] as their standard issue weapon. In the film, the weapon is described as a futuristic assault rifle with a magazine capacity of 99 rounds (loaded to 95 to prevent jamming, according to the ''Aliens: Colonial Marines Technical Manual'' by Lee Brimmicombe-Wood) of 10mm caseless armor-piercing ammunition with a pump-action 30mm grenade launcher mounted underneath the barrel. The rifle is also fitted with an LED readout that displays the number of rounds remaining in the rifle's magazine. At the end of the film, Ripley ([[Sigourney Weaver]]) fastens one of these rifles to an M240 Flamethrower in her attempt to rescue Newt (Carrie Henn).

The Pulse Rifle was constructed from an [[M1A1 Thompson]] submachine gun fitted with a cut-down [[Remington 870]] shotgun with the heat shield and foregrip of a [[Franchi SPAS-12]] covering it, although only one weapon used on the production had a functioning shotgun unit. The weapon was finished with a custom-made futuristic aluminum shell painted in "Brown Bess" paint, although due to the predominantly blue on-set lighting in the film the weapons often appear olive green on screen. Following the production, all but one of the Pulse Rifles (the "hero" rifle with the functioning shotgun unit) were broken down - the surviving gun was reused in the filming of ''[[Alien³]]'' several years later.

==M56 Smart Gun==
Both PFC J. Vasquez ([[Jenette Goldstein]]), and Private M. Drake ([[Mark Rolston]]) use a heavy machine gun system designated the "[[M56 Smart Gun]]" (the weapon's designation comes from the ''Aliens: Colonial Marines Technical Manual''). These weapons were constructed from German [[MG42]] machine guns with the grip and stock removed. The body-mount apparatus was constructed from the arm & vest of a "Steadicam" camera stabilisation system. 'Dressing' on the MG42 was constructed from various motorcycle parts, most notably the handlebars used for the weapon's trigger and grips. The weapon is paired with a special sighting system worn on the operator's head. This was inspired by the targeting devices mounted on the helmets of US AH-64 Apache pilots. When the Marines are ordered to unload their weapons, Vasquez is seen removing a module to "clear and lock" her weapon. According to the ''Aliens: Colonial Marines Technical Manual'', this is a battery unit that can be disconnected in order to prevent the weapon from firing. The battery prop was constructed from a toy pop gun.

Note that a linkage is visible running from the rear handlebar to the MG42's real trigger; the red toggle on the front handle is purely cosmetic, and does nothing.]]

==M240 Flamethrower==
Another weapon used by the Marines is the [[M240 Flamethrower]], most notably used by Sergeant A. Apone ([[Al Matthews]]), Corporal Dietrich ([[Cynthia Dale Scott]]), Private Drake ([[Mark Rolston]]), and Ripley ([[Sigourney Weaver]]) when she famously tapes it to an [[M41A Pulse Rifle]] before she goes to rescue Newt (Carrie Henn). These flamethrowers were created from parts from [[M16 rifle series|M16 rifle]]s with the [[M203_grenade_launcher|M203]] handguard. The 'faux' flamethrower used the upper receiver assembly of an [[M16A1]] - cut into two parts, using the top handle facing forward, but the section with the ejection port turned backwards.

''Aliens'' is notable as being one of few films to employ military-spec liquid-fueled flamethrowers in its production, as opposed to the vastly more common (and far safer) gas-powered models usually seen in films (although some gas-burning models are also used in the movie, usually in scenes with actual actors using the weapons). The liquid fuel flamethrower is most notably seen in the sequence where Ripley incinerates the Alien nest.

==UA571-C Remote Automated Sentry System==
In the extended version of the film, the Marines set up sentry turrets in the hallways leading to their refuge. In the ''Aliens: Colonial Marines Technical Manual'', this weapons system is designated as the "UA571-C Remote Automated Sentry System". These were built upon WWII German [[MG42]] machine guns, the same weapons used for the M56 Smart Guns and provided by Bapty & Co. (The UK film armorer). The ammo drums on the side are from WW1 German Spandau [[Maxim MG08/15]] machine guns.

==GAU-113/B==
The Cheyenne dropship, a fictional VTOL aircraft in the ''Aliens'' universe, can be seen with a multi-barrelled, chin-mounted cannon of some kind. In the ''Aliens: Colonial Marines Technical Manual'', this weapons system is designated as the "GAU-113/B". Some of the barrels appear to be chambered for different calibres of ammunition, and the weapon would appear to operate "[[Gatling]]"-style (owing to the circular arrangement of the barrels). Similar weapons are seen dual-mounted in the front of the Marines' APC.

=Shotguns=
==Ithaca 37 (Shorty Custom)==
Corporal Dwayne Hicks ([[Michael Biehn]]) keeps an [[Ithaca 37]] hunting variant with an engraved receiver customized with a cut down barrel and [[MP40]] pistol grip (making it resemble the [[Ithaca 37 "Stakeout"]]) handy for "close encounters". In one memorable scene, Hicks sticks the barrel of the weapon in an Alien's mouth, and yells ''"Eat this!"'' before blowing the back of its head off. The resultant acid spillage apparently destroys the weapon, as it is never seen again. It appears to be the same custom Ithaca 37 featured in the British television series ''[[Professionals (TV Series), The|The Professionals]]'' and ''[[Dempsey and Makepeace]]'', although the wire stock has been removed and the grip wrapped in tape.

==Remington 870==
The "Over/Under 30 millimeter pump action grenade launcher" seen underneath the M41A Pulse Rifle is in reality a cutdown [[Remington 870]] shotgun with what the heat shield and foregrip of a [[Franchi SPAS-12]]. This particular weapon uses grenade rounds that are roughly the shape of shotgun shells (the props were constructed from a 12 gauge snap cap with various cuts and a button added on top - In the film, the button on top can be depressed to detonate the round by hand).

=Handguns=
==Heckler & Koch VP70==
The [[Heckler & Koch VP70]] is the service pistol of the Marines in the movie. This gun is notably seen in the hands of Private Frost ([[Ricco Ross]]) just before the Aliens attack. Cpl. Ferro (Colette Hiller) attempts to draw hers from its holster, but is unable to in time when an Alien gets aboard her ship. Lieutenant Gorman ([[William Hope]]) uses one to shoot at Aliens during the airshaft scene. Another VP70 is seen given by Vasquez to the synthetic droid Bishop ([[Lance Henriksen]]), who then declines to take it and passes it back to Ripley ([[Sigourney Weaver]]). Sergeant A. Apone ([[Al Matthews]]), Corporal Dietrich ([[Cynthia Dale Scott]]), Private Spunkmeyer ([[Daniel Kash]]), and Private Crowe ([[Tip Tipping]]) keep theirs holstered throughout the film.

In the special features included with the Collector's Edition DVD, it is mentioned by one of the film's armorers that the VP70 was chosen as the standard issue sidearm for the Colonial Marines because of its "futuristic look" as well as its relative obscurity.

===Special===
[[Image:ALSF-VP70.jpg|thumb|none|500px|Atherton displays one of the VP70's.]]

==Smith & Wesson 39==
PFC Vasquez ([[Jenette Goldstein]]) uses a blued [[Smith & Wesson 39]] with ivory grips as her sidearm. She most notably uses it to kill an Alien while moving through the vents, but burns her foot from the creature's acidic blood in the process.

The pistol was referred to as the '''M4A3''' in the ''Aliens: Colonial Marines Technical Manual''. It was supposed to be a 10mm cased-ammo pistol with a 12-round magazine that had been recently replaced in service by the VP70.

'''''Firefly''''' was a science fiction series that aired for one season on the FOX network. Created by [[Joss Whedon]], the series starred [[Nathan Fillion]] as Malcolm Reynolds, the captain of a "Firefly"-class spaceship named "Serenity". Throughout the series, Reynolds and his crew travel through a distant solar system, making a rough living on frontier planets as smugglers while fighting various adversaries. The series mixed the "space opera" genre with certain elements of the Western, thus the mix of American Western weaponry with the more modern firepower. The series only aired 11 of its 14 episodes in 2002 before being canceled (the remaining episodes aired in 2003), but would subsequently gain cult status, leading to Whedon continuing the series' plot in the 2005 feature film ''[[Serenity]]''. NOTE: The episode numbering is based on the order reflected in the subsequent video releases (the series actually aired out of sequence, see sortable table below.)

==Mal's Sidearm (Modified Taurus 85)==
The signature pistol of Captain Malcolm Reynolds ([[Nathan Fillion]]) in the series is a [[Taurus Model 85]] revolver completely covered by a brass casting to make it resemble a semi-auto handgun. The look of the weapon was based on the [[Volcanic Repeater|Volcanic repeater]]s used in the Civil War as explained by ''[[Firefly]]'' creator Joss Whedon in the visual companion book of the series. In the ''[[Firefly]]'' universe, the gun is a "Moses Brothers Self-Defense Engine Frontier Model B". The same prop gun was used for the feature ''[[Serenity]]'', but given to a new prop house who made the magazine straight on the bottom, and bulked up the right side plate and added a spring loaded rear sight. This pistol was then held by Fillion in his series ''[[Castle - Season 2|Castle]]''.

==FAMAS-223==
In "Serenity" (S1E01), the [[FAMAS|FAMAS-223]] is seen in the hands of Malcom during the battle of Serenity valley. He then drops it and picks up a G36K to capture an AA gun. Zoë in a scene also carried a FAMAS but it changed to a G36K when she started shooting. The rifle is the Civilian version of the FAMAS, imported briefly into the U.S. as the Semiautomatic FAMAS-223. It is virtually identical to the military FAMAS except for the lack of a full auto switch position and the barrel is not ridged (to take rifle grenades). The smooth outer barrel was an ATF requirement to be imported into the country. Soon after, the ATF declared all foreign "bullpup" rifles to be unsporting and banned their import. This was done years prior to the 1989 import ban.

==Faux Colt XM177E2==
In "Serenity" (S1E01), a [[M16 rifle series#Colt XM177/CAR-15/Commando Series|Faux Colt XM177E2]] was seen in the hands of a guard. This rifle has A2 sights, a delta ring retaining the hand guards, A2 reinforcements on the lower, a 5.5" flash suppressor, and a round forward assist so it's not the 1960's vintage XM carbine in the title but closer to a cobbled together '90s carbine like this one.

=="Callahan Fullbore Autolock 'Vera'"==
A Modified [[Izhmash Saiga-12]] shotgun is the unique shotgun used by Jayne ([[Adam Baldwin]]) in "Our Mrs. Reynolds" (S1E06). The weapon was originally built by gunsmiths Larry Zanoff and the late Jim Boland for the film ''[[Showtime]]''. It is capable of folding into compact form and still be fireable. Technically it's a shotgun, but in the show, it is a rifle that fires big bullets. In "Our Mrs. Reynolds" (S1E06), "Vera" requires oxygen to fire, which could be explained if it used an ignition system like the Daisy VL caseless .22 rifle (1968-1969).

'''''Firefly''''' was a science fiction series that aired for one season on the FOX network. Created by [[Joss Whedon]], the series starred [[Nathan Fillion]] as Malcolm Reynolds, the captain of a "Firefly"-class spaceship named "Serenity". Throughout the series, Reynolds and his crew travel through a distant solar system, making a rough living on frontier planets as smugglers while fighting various adversaries. The series mixed the "space opera" genre with certain elements of the Western, thus the mix of American Western weaponry with the more modern firepower. The series only aired 11 of its 14 episodes in 2002 before being canceled (the remaining episodes aired in 2003), but would subsequently gain cult status, leading to Whedon continuing the series' plot in the 2005 feature film ''[[Serenity]]''. NOTE: The episode numbering is based on the order reflected in the subsequent video releases (the series actually aired out of sequence, see sortable table below.)

==Mal's Sidearm (Modified Taurus 85)==
The signature pistol of Captain Malcolm Reynolds ([[Nathan Fillion]]) in the series is a [[Taurus Model 85]] revolver completely covered by a brass casting to make it resemble a semi-auto handgun. The look of the weapon was based on the [[Volcanic Repeater|Volcanic repeater]]s used in the Civil War as explained by ''[[Firefly]]'' creator Joss Whedon in the visual companion book of the series. In the ''[[Firefly]]'' universe, the gun is a "Moses Brothers Self-Defense Engine Frontier Model B". The same prop gun was used for the feature ''[[Serenity]]'', but given to a new prop house who made the magazine straight on the bottom, and bulked up the right side plate and added a spring loaded rear sight. This pistol was then held by Fillion in his series ''[[Castle - Season 2|Castle]]''.

==FAMAS-223==
In "Serenity" (S1E01), the [[FAMAS|FAMAS-223]] is seen in the hands of Malcom during the battle of Serenity valley. He then drops it and picks up a G36K to capture an AA gun. Zoë in a scene also carried a FAMAS but it changed to a G36K when she started shooting. The rifle is the Civilian version of the FAMAS, imported briefly into the U.S. as the Semiautomatic FAMAS-223. It is virtually identical to the military FAMAS except for the lack of a full auto switch position and the barrel is not ridged (to take rifle grenades). The smooth outer barrel was an ATF requirement to be imported into the country. Soon after, the ATF declared all foreign "bullpup" rifles to be unsporting and banned their import. This was done years prior to the 1989 import ban.

==Faux Colt XM177E2==
In "Serenity" (S1E01), a [[M16 rifle series#Colt XM177/CAR-15/Commando Series|Faux Colt XM177E2]] was seen in the hands of a guard. This rifle has A2 sights, a delta ring retaining the hand guards, A2 reinforcements on the lower, a 5.5" flash suppressor, and a round forward assist so it's not the 1960's vintage XM carbine in the title but closer to a cobbled together '90s carbine like this one.

=="Callahan Fullbore Autolock 'Vera'"==
A Modified [[Izhmash Saiga-12]] shotgun is the unique shotgun used by Jayne ([[Adam Baldwin]]) in "Our Mrs. Reynolds" (S1E06). The weapon was originally built by gunsmiths Larry Zanoff and the late Jim Boland for the film ''[[Showtime]]''. It is capable of folding into compact form and still be fireable. Technically it's a shotgun, but in the show, it is a rifle that fires big bullets. In "Our Mrs. Reynolds" (S1E06), "Vera" requires oxygen to fire, which could be explained if it used an ignition system like the Daisy VL caseless .22 rifle (1968-1969).

'''''Firefly''''' was a science fiction series that aired for one season on the FOX network. Created by [[Joss Whedon]], the series starred [[Nathan Fillion]] as Malcolm Reynolds, the captain of a "Firefly"-class spaceship named "Serenity". Throughout the series, Reynolds and his crew travel through a distant solar system, making a rough living on frontier planets as smugglers while fighting various adversaries. The series mixed the "space opera" genre with certain elements of the Western, thus the mix of American Western weaponry with the more modern firepower. The series only aired 11 of its 14 episodes in 2002 before being canceled (the remaining episodes aired in 2003), but would subsequently gain cult status, leading to Whedon continuing the series' plot in the 2005 feature film ''[[Serenity]]''. NOTE: The episode numbering is based on the order reflected in the subsequent video releases (the series actually aired out of sequence, see sortable table below.)

=Revolvers=
==Mal's Sidearm (Modified Taurus 85)==
The signature pistol of Captain Malcolm Reynolds ([[Nathan Fillion]]) in the series is a [[Taurus Model 85]] revolver completely covered by a brass casting to make it resemble a semi-auto handgun. The look of the weapon was based on the [[Volcanic Repeater|Volcanic repeater]]s used in the Civil War as explained by ''[[Firefly]]'' creator Joss Whedon in the visual companion book of the series. In the ''[[Firefly]]'' universe, the gun is a "Moses Brothers Self-Defense Engine Frontier Model B". The same prop gun was used for the feature ''[[Serenity]]'', but given to a new prop house who made the magazine straight on the bottom, and bulked up the right side plate and added a spring loaded rear sight. This pistol was then held by Fillion in his series ''[[Castle - Season 2|Castle]]''.

==FAMAS-223==
In "Serenity" (S1E01), the [[FAMAS|FAMAS-223]] is seen in the hands of Malcom during the battle of Serenity valley. He then drops it and picks up a G36K to capture an AA gun. Zoë in a scene also carried a FAMAS but it changed to a G36K when she started shooting. The rifle is the Civilian version of the FAMAS, imported briefly into the U.S. as the Semiautomatic FAMAS-223. It is virtually identical to the military FAMAS except for the lack of a full auto switch position and the barrel is not ridged (to take rifle grenades). The smooth outer barrel was an ATF requirement to be imported into the country. Soon after, the ATF declared all foreign "bullpup" rifles to be unsporting and banned their import. This was done years prior to the 1989 import ban.

==Faux Colt XM177E2==
In "Serenity" (S1E01), a [[M16 rifle series#Colt XM177/CAR-15/Commando Series|Faux Colt XM177E2]] was seen in the hands of a guard. This rifle has A2 sights, a delta ring retaining the hand guards, A2 reinforcements on the lower, a 5.5" flash suppressor, and a round forward assist so it's not the 1960's vintage XM carbine in the title but closer to a cobbled together '90s carbine like this one.

Jayne can be seen with a heavily modified [[Heckler & Koch HK770]] in "Heart of Gold" (S1E13). The rifle is in a Choate Super Sniper stock (this stock is not available for the HK770 so must be customised), has been modified to feed from 20 round [[G3]] style magazines rather than the proprietary HK770 3 or 10 round magazine and has a ribbed barrel shroud, and is fitted with a telescopic sight on an HK05 claw mount and a bipod.

=="Callahan Fullbore Autolock 'Vera'"==
A Modified [[Izhmash Saiga-12]] shotgun is the unique shotgun used by Jayne ([[Adam Baldwin]]) in "Our Mrs. Reynolds" (S1E06). The weapon was originally built by gunsmiths Larry Zanoff and the late Jim Boland for the film ''[[Showtime]]''. It is capable of folding into compact form and still be fireable. Technically it's a shotgun, but in the show, it is a rifle that fires big bullets. In "Our Mrs. Reynolds" (S1E06), "Vera" requires oxygen to fire, which could be explained if it used an ignition system like the Daisy VL caseless .22 rifle (1968-1969).

==Jayne's holdout pistol==
Jayne is seen taping some sort of pistol to his abdomen in "Jaynestown" (S01E07). The entire gun is never seen, as Mal orders him to take it off.

[[Image:Aliens_Poster.jpg|thumb|right|302px|''Aliens'' (1986)]]

''Aliens'' is the 1986 sequel to ''[[Alien]]'', directed by [[James Cameron]]. [[Sigourney Weaver]] returns as Ripley, who travels with a platoon of US Colonial Marines to investigate a loss of contact with the colony established on the same planet discovered by the crew of the ''Nostromo''. Unlike the original film, the majority of the weapons seen in the sequel were actual firearms visually modified for the production.

{{Film Title}}
__TOC__ 

== M41A Pulse Rifle ==

The Marines of the USCMC (United States Colonial Marine Corps) famously carry the [[M41A Pulse Rifle]] as their standard issue weapon. In the film, the weapon is described as a futuristic assault rifle with a magazine capacity of 99 rounds of 10x24mm caseless armor-piercing ammunition with a pump action 30mm grenade launcher mounted underneath the barrel. The pulse rifle was constructed from an [[M1A1 Thompson]] submachine gun fitted with a cutdown [[Remington 870]] shotgun underneath with the heat shield and foregrip of a [[SPAS 12]] covering it. At the end of the film, Ripley ([[Sigourney Weaver]]) fastens one of these rifles to an M240 Flamethrower in her attempt to rescue Newt (Carrie Henn).

== M56 Smart Gun ==
Both PFC J. Vasquez ([[Jenette Goldstein]]), and Private M. Drake ([[Mark Rolston]]) use [[M56 Smart Gun]]s. These were made from German [[MG42]] machine guns. The body-mounting apparatus was made from Steadicam "arms", with other miscellaneous parts coming from various motorcycles, most notably the handlebars used for the weapon's grips.

[[Image:ALSF-M56-6.jpg|thumb|none|500px|The handlebar grip.]]
[[Image:ALSF-M56-7.jpg|thumb|none|500px|The handlebar trigger for the gun.]]

== M240 Flamethrower ==

Another weapon used by the Marines is the [[M240 Flamethrower]], most notably used by Gunnery Sergeant A. Apone ([[Al Matthews]]), Private M. Drake ([[Mark Rolston]]), and Ripley ([[Sigourney Weaver]]) when she famously tapes it to an [[M41A Pulse Rifle]] before she goes to rescue Newt (Carrie Henn). These flamethrowers also appear to have been created from parts from [[M16 rifle series#M16 Rifle|M16 rifle]]s with the [[M16 rifle series#M16/203 rifle and underslung launcher|M203]] handguard. The 'faux' flamethrower used the upper receiver assembly of an M16A1 - cut into two parts, using the top handle facing forward, but the section with the ejection port turned backwards.

''Aliens'' is notable as being one of few films to employ military-spec liquid-fuelled flamethrowers in its production, as opposed to the vastly more common (and far safer) gas-powered models usually seen in films (although some gas-burning models are also used in the movie, usually in scenes with actual actors using the weapons). The liquid fuel flamethrower is most notably seen in the sequence where Ripley incinerates the Alien nest.

[[Image:Aliens_Flamethrower3.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Ripley tapes the M240 Flamethrower to an [[M41A Pulse Rifle]]. An editing mismatch was long present in this scene - Ripley pulls a Flamethrower off the rack, but the next shot shows her putting down a Pulse Rifle. She then grabs a Pulse Rifle and puts down a Flamethrower. However, this goof has been fixed in recent Blu-ray releases of the film.]]
[[Image:Aliens 028.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Ripley with her flamethrower and pulse rifle combo.]]

== Ithaca 37 "Stakeout" ==

Corporal Hicks' ([[Michael Biehn]]) shotgun is an [[Ithaca 37#Ithaca 37 "Stakeout"|Ithaca 37 "Stakeout"]] which he keeps for "Close Encounters". In one memorable scene, Hicks sticks the barrel of the weapon in an Alien's mouth, and yells "Eat this!" before blowing its head off.

[[Image:Stakeout-1-.jpg|thumb|none|400px|Ithaca 37 "Stakeout" - 12 Gauge]]

[[Image:ALIENS-ITHACA37-3.jpg|thumb|none|600px|"Eat this!" Hicks blows the back of the Alien's head off.]]

== Heckler & Koch VP70 ==

The [[Heckler & Koch VP70]] is the service pistol of the Marines in the movie. This gun is notably seen in the hands of Private Frost ([[Ricco Ross]]) just before the Aliens attack. Cpl. Ferro ([[Colette Hiller]]) attempts to draw hers from its holster, but is unable to in time when an Alien gets aboard her ship. Lieutenant Gorman ([[William Hope]]) uses one to shoot at Aliens during the airshaft scene. Another VP70 is seen given by Vasquez to the synthetic droid Bishop ([[Lance Henriksen]]), who then declines to take it and passes it back to Ripley ([[Sigourney Weaver]]).

In the special features included with the Collector's Edition DVD, it is mentioned by one of the film's armorers that the VP-70 was chosen as the standard issue sidearm for the Colonial Marines because of its "futuristic look" as well as its relative obscurity.

[[Image:VP70.jpg|thumb|none|400px|Heckler & Koch VP70 - 9x19mm]]
[[Image:Aliens_VP70.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Private Frost holding his [[Heckler & Koch VP70]].]]

===Special===
[[Image:ALSF-VP70.jpg|thumb|none|500px|Atherton displays one of the VP70's.]]

== UA571-C Remote Automated Sentry System ==

In the extended version of the film, the Marines set up sentry turrets in the hallways leading to their refuge. These were built upon WWII German MG42 machine guns, the same used for the smartguns and provided by Bapty's (movie armorer of the UK). Only the ammo drums on the side are from WW1 German Spandau [[Maxim LMG 08/15]] machine guns

[[Image:Aliens_Sentry.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Sentry turrets firing during a test.]]
[[Image:Aliens_Sentry2.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Sentry turrets firing at approaching Aliens.]]

== Smith & Wesson Model 39 ==

PFC Vasquez ([[Jenette Goldstein]]) uses a blued [[Smith & Wesson Model 39]] with Ivory grips as her sidearm. She most notably uses it to kill an Alien while moving through the vents, but burns her foot from the creature's acidic blood in the process.

The pistol was referred to as the '''M4A3''' in the ''ALIENS: Colonial Marines Technical Manual'' by Lee Brimmicombe-Wood. It was supposed to be a 10mm cased-ammo pistol with a 12-round magazine that had been recently replaced in service by the VP-70.

[[Image:Aliens 031.jpg|thumb|none|600px|A closeup of the Vasquez's S&W as she takes out an Alien. Note that the hands firing the gun are actually that of ''Aliens'' producer Gale Anne Hurd. Hurd explained that [[Jenette Goldstein]] had little firearms experience prior to filming and her portrayal of the gun's recoil wasn't accurate.]]

==Chin-mounted Cannon==
The Cheyenne dropship, a fictional VTOL aircraft in the ''Aliens'' universe, can be seen with a multi-barrelled, chin-mounted cannon of some kind. Some of the barrels appear to be chambered for different calibres of ammunition, and the weapon likely operates in a rotary fashion similar to a minigun (owing to the circular arrangement of the barrels). However, it is never used in the film.
[[Image:Cheyenne-Aliens.jpg|thumb|none|600px|A chin-mounted minigun on the Cheyenne dropship.]]

==M16A1==

At the end of the film, Ripley ([[Sigourney Weaver]]) fastens one of these rifles to an M240 Flamethrower in her attempt to rescue Newt (Carrie Henn).

== M56 Smart Gun ==
Both PFC J. Vasquez ([[Jenette Goldstein]]), and Private M. Drake ([[Mark Rolston]]) use [[M56 Smart Gun]]s. These were made from German [[MG42]] machine guns. The body-mounting apparatus was made from Steadicam "arms", with other miscellaneous parts coming from various motorcycles, most notably the handlebars used for the weapon's grips.

== M240 Flamethrower ==

Another weapon used by the Marines is the [[M240 Flamethrower]], most notably used by Gunnery Sergeant A. Apone ([[Al Matthews]]), Private M. Drake ([[Mark Rolston]]), and Ripley ([[Sigourney Weaver]]) when she famously tapes it to an [[M41A Pulse Rifle]] before she goes to rescue Newt (Carrie Henn). These flamethrowers also appear to have been created from parts from [[M16 rifle series#M16 Rifle|M16 rifle]]s with the [[M16 rifle series#M16/203 rifle and underslung launcher|M203]] handguard. The 'faux' flamethrower used the upper receiver assembly of an M16A1 - cut into two parts, using the top handle facing forward, but the section with the ejection port turned backwards.

''Aliens'' is notable as being one of few films to employ military-spec liquid-fuelled flamethrowers in its production, as opposed to the vastly more common (and far safer) gas-powered models usually seen in films (although some gas-burning models are also used in the movie, usually in scenes with actual actors using the weapons). The liquid fuel flamethrower is most notably seen in the sequence where Ripley incinerates the Alien nest.

She then grabs a Pulse Rifle and puts down a Flamethrower. However, this goof has been fixed in recent Blu-ray releases of the film.]]
[[Image:Aliens 028.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Ripley with her flamethrower and pulse rifle combo.]]

== Ithaca 37 "Stakeout" ==

Corporal Hicks' ([[Michael Biehn]]) shotgun is an [[Ithaca 37#Ithaca 37 "Stakeout"|Ithaca 37 "Stakeout"]] which he keeps for "Close Encounters". In one memorable scene, Hicks sticks the barrel of the weapon in an Alien's mouth, and yells "Eat this!" before blowing its head off.

[[Image:ALIENS-ITHACA37-3.jpg|thumb|none|600px|"Eat this!" Hicks blows the back of the Alien's head off.]]

== Heckler & Koch VP70 ==

The [[Heckler & Koch VP70]] is the service pistol of the Marines in the movie. This gun is notably seen in the hands of Private Frost ([[Ricco Ross]]) just before the Aliens attack. Cpl. Ferro ([[Colette Hiller]]) attempts to draw hers from its holster, but is unable to in time when an Alien gets aboard her ship. Lieutenant Gorman ([[William Hope]]) uses one to shoot at Aliens during the airshaft scene. Another VP70 is seen given by Vasquez to the synthetic droid Bishop ([[Lance Henriksen]]), who then declines to take it and passes it back to Ripley ([[Sigourney Weaver]]).

In the special features included with the Collector's Edition DVD, it is mentioned by one of the film's armorers that the VP-70 was chosen as the standard issue sidearm for the Colonial Marines because of its "futuristic look" as well as its relative obscurity.

===Special===
[[Image:ALSF-VP70.jpg|thumb|none|500px|Atherton displays one of the VP70's.]]

== UA571-C Remote Automated Sentry System ==

In the extended version of the film, the Marines set up sentry turrets in the hallways leading to their refuge. These were built upon WWII German MG42 machine guns, the same used for the smartguns and provided by Bapty's (movie armorer of the UK). Only the ammo drums on the side are from WW1 German Spandau [[Maxim LMG 08/15]] machine guns

[[Image:Aliens_Sentry.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Sentry turrets firing during a test.]]
[[Image:Aliens_Sentry2.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Sentry turrets firing at approaching Aliens.]]

== Smith & Wesson Model 39 ==

PFC Vasquez ([[Jenette Goldstein]]) uses a blued [[Smith & Wesson Model 39]] with Ivory grips as her sidearm. She most notably uses it to kill an Alien while moving through the vents, but burns her foot from the creature's acidic blood in the process.

The pistol was referred to as the '''M4A3''' in the ''ALIENS: Colonial Marines Technical Manual'' by Lee Brimmicombe-Wood. It was supposed to be a 10mm cased-ammo pistol with a 12-round magazine that had been recently replaced in service by the VP-70.

==Chin-mounted Cannon==
The Cheyenne dropship, a fictional VTOL aircraft in the ''Aliens'' universe, can be seen with a multi-barrelled, chin-mounted cannon of some kind. Some of the barrels appear to be chambered for different calibres of ammunition, and the weapon likely operates in a rotary fashion similar to a minigun (owing to the circular arrangement of the barrels). However, it is never used in the film.
[[Image:Cheyenne-Aliens.jpg|thumb|none|600px|A chin-mounted minigun on the Cheyenne dropship.]]

==M16A1==

==acid blood==
''Trivia Note: In the Aliens series of movies this weapon always seems to be a hazard. i.e. shooting an alien with this weapon would cause a character to get splattered with acidic blood. This event happens a lot in '''AVP: Requiem'''. However, in reality, a direct shotgun blast would NOT splatter any blood "towards the shooter" or "to the sides". The force alone would direct all brain and blood splatter AWAY from the shooter. All one has to do is look a real life crime scene photos of shotgun blasts to the head. All particles or viscera are blown away from the barrel, none are to the front and very little if any is to the sides.''

''Additional Trivia Note: As the previous trivia note says, little 'splashback' if any would be expected. That said, the Aliens are well known to be extremely tough beasties, so who's to say parts of the body were not damaged very much by the shotgun blasts? This could have resulted in the 'splashback' as softer tissue and blood rebounds off harder bone / chitinous tissue...''

''Remember reading in a book or online when I was in school that the aliens had extremely high "blood pressure" resulting in them pretty much exploding when shot and in effect turning them into a walking anti personnel mine.''

::Even if they are under pressure, the blast would blow the blood AWAY. I shot a pressurized Paint balloon with a shotgun for a demo once. Sure it flew everywhere EXCEPT where I was because the blast of the shotgun forced the particulate matter in the other direction. I am very wary of any theory that has the alien blood at such high pressure that it can overcome the kinetic energy of a shotgun blast. Wouldn't happen.[[User:MoviePropMaster2008|MoviePropMaster2008]] 21:09, 12 December 2009 (UTC)

I really love it when folks say "wouldn't happen" when referencing a science fiction movie with big fake ships, fake alien creatures, and giant fantasy guns that weigh about 45 pounds each. It's fantasy guys. Come on. They tear a synthetic person in half, would his blood splatter the way it did when his body flew in 2 different directions? Aliens are not real. How do we know they fake fantasy high pressure acidic blood isn't magnetic for 5 seconds once it is exposed to oxygen? I mean, it's acid right? Would that happen?

In accordance with the statement above mine, the aliens blood is in fact, highly pressurized. Coincidence? I think not. I'd think of it as more of a natural deterrent, or biological "fail-safe" due to the fact that if a Xenomorph is attacked and killed, or even injured, the aggressor will pay the price.

Physicist's note: According to the character Bishop, the creatures' blood completely oxidizes as of their death. Presumably, this is due to direct exposure to external atmospheric conditions, but that's just a moot guess at a fictitious alien. In any case, oxidation, along with its reduction counterpart, is the neutralization of an acidic compound of a which results in the release of chemical energy (also known as redoxing).

Familiar examples of this in the real world include the process in cellular respiration that oxidizes glucose to carbon dioxide and the corresponding reduction of oxygen to water. An example of a counterpart to the process is its inverse in photosynthesis. In agriculture, ammonia is oxidized into nitric acid--which, incidentally, is also useful as an explosive, but I'll get to that. It's the fundamental reaction behind an electrochemical battery. In some cases, it releases an enormous amount of heat.

Suppose all of the glucose and oxygen in your blood were to suddenly redox. You would have a lot of energy on hand, and I suspect it would really hurt. The impression that our android hero gives me is that these aliens are walking fertilizer bombs, which is hardly the worst thing I can think of (we've got the equivalent and worse in many insect species on Earth), but still an excellent defense mechanism. I don't think it's the shockwave of the shotgun that is causing the backsplash of acid, it would be the onset of the oxidation of the acid itself.

-I'd say keep the existing M41A, if only because I uploaded it, and I like seeing the receivers.-protoAuthor 01:56, 16 December 2009 (UTC)

Those are two of my favourite fictional weapons.

:I really don't like the picture of the M41A that we have on the page. It is an airsoft replica (I saw it on an airsoft site once), not one of the real guns. Whereas this picture...

:[[Image:Pulse Rifle-1-.jpg|thumb|none|400px|M41A Pulse Rifle - 10mm caseless/30mm grenades.]]

:...is one of the actual screen-used M41As from the series (even though it's still painted black from being used in ''[[Alien³]]'', unlike the ones in ''[[Aliens]]'' which were still green). I realize it's low-res, but the pic was taken by Dan Shea in 2002 (when most people were still on 56K and everything loaded slower). As best I know, this is the only one of the pulse rifles that Bapty & Co. has kept in its original configuration. -[[User:MT2008|MT2008]] 16:13, 13 December 2010 (UTC)

:::Ah, OK. Then we should at least use that one, I think. Screen-used gun pictures are always preferable to stuff like airsoft replica pictures. Though I wonder if we should take the LMO picture and use it on the ''[[Alien³]]'' page?

== Hicks or Hudson ==

In the description of the Ithaca Stakeout, it says that it was Hicks that shot the alien in the mouth as they were trying to close the door of the APC. But wasn't it Hudson who did that? Wouldn't it make more sense considering it was Hudson that got burned? I thought Hicks was busy trying to close the door. Or did I "misremember" it? Can someone confirm?
:Michael Biehn is Hicks. Hudson got splashed, even though he didn't fire the gun.-protoAuthor 22:12, 18 December 2009 (UTC)

== Advertising? ==

Can we please remove the tasteless advertising from the Pulse Rifle? This is a DB, not a forum, if anything it belongs in the discussion tab. Scratch that I AM removing it, it will be in the discussion tab. --Furious Oyster

== Lage Mfg ==

Lage Manufacturing in currently working on a real live fire replica called the Max-41A. The MAX-41A is a combination submachinegun in 9mm and short barreled 12 gauge shotgun designed to resemble the M-41A Pulse Rifle from the movie.

Submachinegun component is a NFA registered SWD M-11/9 with an Anthony Smith style Suomi upper receiver. Magazine used is a Suomi "Coffin" magazine that holds 50 rounds of 9mm. Shotgun component is a NFA registered Remington 870 short barreled shotgun and holds two rounds in the magazine and one in the chamber.

BATFE letter was obtained confirming this is a legal configuration, prior to manufacturing.

The MAX-41A is a prototype that is currently being tested. My main concern is durability when fired with 12 guage buckshot and slugs. So far, most testing has been with light birdshot loads. The subgun component has run flawlessly.

The bullet counter has a minor problem when firing in full auto, only counts half of the rounds fired. When firing singles, there is no problem. Should be fixable.

The test phase is expected to take about a year.

The Bullet counters do add some tension in the combat scenes

update 20/2/11 (2/20/11 US) http://www.max-11.com/TopSecret.html

Link to photo's and video in use. Not going into production so will remain a concept gun. If many law enforcement agencies around the world hadn't up-gunned to 5.56mm, it could have had a market as a dual weapon, 9mm lethal load and 12 gauge less lethal such as baton round, gas round or TASER round.

==Pulse Rifle Sound==

Mainly a trivial question, but does anybody know how they obtained the sounds for the pulse rifles? I've always wanted to know...

== Original Pulse Rile ==

The original plan was to use an MP5 for the Pulse Rifle, but James Cameron didn't like the muzzle flash. The Thompson gave the look he wanted. I haven't seen the movie in years, but one of the Marines is suppose to be wearing a t shirt with the MP5 Pulse Rifle on it. The dvd extras has a drawing of the MP5 Pulse Rifle. David.
:I noticed that when I saw The DVD extras too and saw the drawing of the Pulse Rifle, I noticed a MP5A3 stock, but didn't know they were originally going to use a MP5. That's a cool bit of trivia. :) - [[User:Mr. Wolf|Mr. Wolf]] 22:06, 25 April 2011 (CDT)

== Colonial Marines ==

is there really a branch of the military called the Colonial marines? I cant seem to get a staight answer from anybody. I know that probably means no, there isnt, but for the sake of making myself look less like an idiot, i had to ask.--Gunner5
:The British used to have a Corps Of Colonial Marines in the 1800s, but as far as I know, there's no such thing in the world today.--[[User:Leigh Burne|Leigh Burne]] 02:36, 29 February 2012 (CST)
i belive they use the term colonial as they protect the intrests of america ie there colonlys in deep space the Colonial marines techinal manual goes into great detail over this (User:Seekerdude 29/02/2012 16:23 GMT )

In fiction, [[Battlestar Galactica]] had Colonial Marines as well, but they were less of an expeditionary force and assumed more traditional Marine roles, like security, boarding parties, etc. --[[User:Funkychinaman|Funkychinaman]] 10:34, 29 February 2012 (CST)

== Sulaco's turrets ==

While not really worth noting on the page, the guns on the top and bottom of the ''Sulaco'' are ''technically'' dressed-up 35 mm Oerlikon KDA autocannons, since the turrets are made from the guns of a 1/35 Tamiya Flakpanzer Gepard model stuck on a Tamiya M60A2 tank turret (top) and the original Gepard turret (bottom).

In some cases, it releases an enormous amount of heat.

Suppose all of the glucose and oxygen in your blood were to suddenly redox. You would have a lot of energy on hand, and I suspect it would really hurt. The impression that our android hero gives me is that these aliens are walking fertilizer bombs, which is hardly the worst thing I can think of (we've got the equivalent and worse in many insect species on Earth), but still an excellent defense mechanism. I don't think it's the shockwave of the shotgun that is causing the backsplash of acid, it would be the onset of the oxidation of the acid itself.

== Lage Mfg ==

Lage Manufacturing in currently working on a real live fire replica called the Max-41A. The MAX-41A is a combination submachinegun in 9mm and short barreled 12 gauge shotgun designed to resemble the M-41A Pulse Rifle from the movie.

Submachinegun component is a NFA registered SWD M-11/9 with an Anthony Smith style Suomi upper receiver. Magazine used is a Suomi "Coffin" magazine that holds 50 rounds of 9mm. Shotgun component is a NFA registered Remington 870 short barreled shotgun and holds two rounds in the magazine and one in the chamber.

BATFE letter was obtained confirming this is a legal configuration, prior to manufacturing.

The MAX-41A is a prototype that is currently being tested. My main concern is durability when fired with 12 guage buckshot and slugs. So far, most testing has been with light birdshot loads. The subgun component has run flawlessly.

The bullet counter has a minor problem when firing in full auto, only counts half of the rounds fired. When firing singles, there is no problem. Should be fixable.

The test phase is expected to take about a year.

The Bullet counters do add some tension in the combat scenes

update 20/2/11 (2/20/11 US) http://www.max-11.com/TopSecret.html

Link to photo's and video in use. Not going into production so will remain a concept gun. If many law enforcement agencies around the world hadn't up-gunned to 5.56mm, it could have had a market as a dual weapon, 9mm lethal load and 12 gauge less lethal such as baton round, gas round or TASER round.

==acid blood==
''Trivia Note: In the Aliens series of movies this weapon always seems to be a hazard. i.e. shooting an alien with this weapon would cause a character to get splattered with acidic blood. This event happens a lot in '''AVP: Requiem'''. However, in reality, a direct shotgun blast would NOT splatter any blood "towards the shooter" or "to the sides". The force alone would direct all brain and blood splatter AWAY from the shooter. All one has to do is look a real life crime scene photos of shotgun blasts to the head. All particles or viscera are blown away from the barrel, none are to the front and very little if any is to the sides.''

''Additional Trivia Note: As the previous trivia note says, little 'splashback' if any would be expected. That said, the Aliens are well known to be extremely tough beasties, so who's to say parts of the body were not damaged very much by the shotgun blasts? This could have resulted in the 'splashback' as softer tissue and blood rebounds off harder bone / chitinous tissue...''

''Remember reading in a book or online when I was in school that the aliens had extremely high "blood pressure" resulting in them pretty much exploding when shot and in effect turning them into a walking anti personnel mine.''

::Even if they are under pressure, the blast would blow the blood AWAY. I shot a pressurized Paint balloon with a shotgun for a demo once. Sure it flew everywhere EXCEPT where I was because the blast of the shotgun forced the particulate matter in the other direction. I am very wary of any theory that has the alien blood at such high pressure that it can overcome the kinetic energy of a shotgun blast. Wouldn't happen.[[User:MoviePropMaster2008|MoviePropMaster2008]] 21:09, 12 December 2009 (UTC)

I really love it when folks say "wouldn't happen" when referencing a science fiction movie with big fake ships, fake alien creatures, and giant fantasy guns that weigh about 45 pounds each. It's fantasy guys. Come on. They tear a synthetic person in half, would his blood splatter the way it did when his body flew in 2 different directions? Aliens are not real. How do we know they fake fantasy high pressure acidic blood isn't magnetic for 5 seconds once it is exposed to oxygen? I mean, it's acid right? Would that happen?

In accordance with the statement above mine, the aliens blood is in fact, highly pressurized. Coincidence? I think not. I'd think of it as more of a natural deterrent, or biological "fail-safe" due to the fact that if a Xenomorph is attacked and killed, or even injured, the aggressor will pay the price.

Physicist's note: According to the character Bishop, the creatures' blood completely oxidizes as of their death. Presumably, this is due to direct exposure to external atmospheric conditions, but that's just a moot guess at a fictitious alien. In any case, oxidation, along with its reduction counterpart, is the neutralization of an acidic compound of a which results in the release of chemical energy (also known as redoxing).

Familiar examples of this in the real world include the process in cellular respiration that oxidizes glucose to carbon dioxide and the corresponding reduction of oxygen to water. An example of a counterpart to the process is its inverse in photosynthesis. In agriculture, ammonia is oxidized into nitric acid--which, incidentally, is also useful as an explosive, but I'll get to that. It's the fundamental reaction behind an electrochemical battery. In some cases, it releases an enormous amount of heat.

Suppose all of the glucose and oxygen in your blood were to suddenly redox. You would have a lot of energy on hand, and I suspect it would really hurt. The impression that our android hero gives me is that these aliens are walking fertilizer bombs, which is hardly the worst thing I can think of (we've got the equivalent and worse in many insect species on Earth), but still an excellent defense mechanism.

:: How much does it cost in the U.S.? In Russia, Saiga-12 costs about $ 700. Saiga is the most popular weapon of self-defense due to the fact that we are prohibited from buying pistols in private use (although allowed to buy semi-automatic rifles, such as the Steyr AUG, AR-15 or AK-47 with 10-round magazine. We can also buy these rifles and as AWP). In addition to the Saiga in Russia is rather popular weapons such as the Remington 870 or Mossberg 590 (it costs about $ 1200). But such a weapon as the Benelli M4 (M1014) is less common because it costs about $ 3500 and it is being bought by professionals who are addicted to practical shooting.

::To me this doesn't look like and OVP or a Beretta M1918, so am stumped. Neither of these guns have a magazine well like this. The profile of the barrel looks a bit like the OVP but it is too thick. I wouldn't be surprised if it turned out that this weapon is mockup up from something else. This gun doesn't seem to have any sights, and that silver bit behind the magazine could be the receiver of a donor weapon which has a conventional layout. --[[User:Commando552|commando552]] 10:15, 18 December 2011 (CST)

It's a mocked-up Villar-Perosa--[[User:Mandolin|Mandolin]] 18:54, 18 December 2011 (CST)

It really does look like a Villar-Persoa. So do we put this on the page? [[User:Excalibur01|Excalibur01]] 11:55, 1 January 2012 (CST)

Are we sure it's actually a Villar-Perosa that was used? I saw the movie and the gun resembled a scaled-down version of the 1895 light-weight Maxim that had been adapted for a Villar-Perosa style box feed. I admit I never got a really good look at the entire weapon, but it seemed to have the same kind of pistol grip that you would find on a Maxim. So I don't think we can say the weapon was intended to be a Villar-Perosa, and unless we can get some behind the scenes info on the production we have no idea what was used to construct it.--[[User:Phillb36|Phillb36]] 13:41, 1 January 2012 (CST)

It looks like an early Bren prototype because of the curved magazine--[[User:Coltmth|Coltmth]] 17:21, 20 January 2012 (CST)
:First off, it clearly isn't a bren, as the bren has a much larger magazine for starters, and generally looks nothing like this. Below is a picture of the Villar-Perosa OVP M1918 Automatic Carbine:
:[[File:Villar-perosa 1918.jpg|thumb|500px|none|]]
:There is definitely a similarity but there are quite a few differences which I think mean it is not an actual OVP: the barrel is too thick and lacks a front sight, the curvature of the magazine looks too severe and the base plate is different, genuine OVPs don't have a protruding magazine well and lastly the film gun has an odd boxy stainless steel structure behind the magazine. I still think it is a different submachine gun that has been flipped over and modified to look like an OVP, but until Bluray screenshots are available it is very hard to tell. --[[User:Commando552|commando552]] 18:22, 20 January 2012 (CST)
:: I don't believe the weapon is supposed to represent the OVP, and in fact I don't think it is supposed to represent an actual real world weapon. From what I could see, the only aspect of the gun that resembled the OVP is the magazine, the gun itself looks like it was inspired by the 1895 light weight Maxim. At one point in the film a number of the guns are shown sitting on a table in the weapons factory, it's only a quick shot but I'm sure the they had pistol grips that resembled the type found on a Maxim. IMO, the propmaster was tasked with providing some form of man portable machine gun for this film, and the best solution was a hybrid of two real world weapons in order to create something that looked like it could have existed in 1891.--[[User:Phillb36|Phillb36]] 00:10, 21 January 2012 (CST)
I always figured that the anachronistic guns were meant to be prototypes developed by Moriarty's weapons designers and were taken after his demise and the liquidation of his assets. The gun is clearly heavily inspired by the Villar-Perosa, but likely isn't necessarily meant to represent the Villar-Perosa. In this universe, the design was taken and made into the double-gun by an Italian designer as a way of increasing its firepower. It's an easy explanation for all the anachronistic weapons. Now the question is whether the gun was a real weapon converted and dressed up or a non-firing prop with CGI or pyro for the gunfire. [[User:Chitoryu12|Chitoryu12]] 07:13, 18 April 2012 (CDT)
== Anachronistic ==

this movie actualy takes place in 1891 and not 1882 as this artical states --[[User:Armyguy277|Armyguy277]] 14:03, 18 December 2011 (CST)

The text states 1892. --[[User:Jcordell|Jcordell]] 14:16, 18 December 2011 (CST)

:I saw this movie today. 1891 has been mentioned twice. [[User:Flexo|Flexo]] 08:09, 30 December 2011 (CST)

::Yep. The original story, "The Final Problem", was also set in 1891. --[[User:Masterius|Masterius]] 07:55, 15 January 2012 (CST)

== shotgun ==

one of the men on the train looked like the had a shotgun?

Correct. One of the soldiers had a Winchester 1887. Hard to tell if it was 10 gauge or 12. --[[User:Bad Boy|Bad Boy]] 23:36, 24 December 2011 (CST)

I actually thought that was a Martini-Henry, which would make sense for British soldiers of the time to be using. I guess it could be a (rather rare) Greener Prison Shotgun, which would look similar, in which case it would be 14 gauge. [[User:Jimmoy|Jimmoy]] 08:13, 1 January 2012 (CST)

I've seen images of the Greener shotgun and it looks nothing like an 1887. [[User:Excalibur01|Excalibur01]] 11:51, 1 January 2012 (CST)

Sorry for the imprecise wording, I meant similar to a Martini-Henry. I could very well be wrong about it being that, I didn't get a particularly good look at it and I suppose the 1887 being in the previous film lends some credence to that idea. [[User:Jimmoy|Jimmoy]] 15:17, 1 January 2012 (CST)

I just bought the movie and the shotgun was a Winchester 1887. [[User:Balin21|Balin21]] 10:40 14 June 2012 (CST)

== The Forest Scene ==

Is it just me, or was that the best action scene in a movie in the last five years? I can't be the only one who thinks this. It was intense, well shot, and surprisingly innovative in the way it moved the camera and used high-speed film. It was completely awesome. I'd also like to figure out what make of cannon that was that the bad guys (and Watson, earlier) were using. -Cutter9792 (1/1/2012)

No it wasn't. In fact, the slow mo ramping up effect is very dated and a bit annoying after 300 did it. There are plenty of movies that have far superior action scenes [[User:Excalibur01|Excalibur01]] 22:33, 1 January 2012 (CST)

== Single shot pistol ==

During the scene on the train I am quite sure that I saw a small single shot pistol, used to dispatch one of the maxim gun crew. Anybody get a look at that?

It looked like a Colt .41 RF derringer. I suspect if it was then it was one of the modern replicas in .22 short.

I think it was the C sharps pepperbox like the one in the first movie--[[User:Coltmth|Coltmth]] 20:06, 20 January 2012 (CST)

== Interesting Observation ==

There are double anachronisms in both films:

Sherlock Holmes 1: Suppressed Nagant Model 1895

Sherlock Holmes 2: Selective Mauser Model 1896

And judging by the pattern, Sherlock Holmes 3 gonna have "*adjective/adjectival participle starting with "S"* *Designer/Manufacturer* Model 1897".

--[[User:Masterius|Masterius]] 08:28, 15 January 2012 (CST)

* I believe the suggestion in both films is that they're not meant to be the "Nagant 1895" or the "Mauser C96", but rather new weapons of a design that would only later be commercialized. The Nagant could be explained away as a modification to a contemporary revolver by Holmes himself, while it's quite clearly suggested that Moriarty's been manufacturing some highly advanced weapons for the war he plans on starting. After his death, the designs were probably confiscated and later used as the basis for the weapons as we know them today, like the apparent Villar-Perosa and the Mauser.[[User:Chitoryu12|Chitoryu12]] 07:13, 18 April 2012 (CDT)

::That's what I interpreted it as as well - all the anachronistic guns seen were just advanced prototypes made by Moriarty, in an alternative history "this-is-where-they-first-came-from" kind of way.--[[User:Leigh Burne|Leigh Burne]] 05:25, 18 April 2012 (CDT)

== Suppressor ==

Were sound suppressors even concieved back in the 1890's ? [[User:EoghanG93|EoghanG93]] 11:58, 14 June 2012 (CDT)

Hiram Maxim marketed the first commercial silencer about 1902. Don't know how long he worked on the device though. I remember an episode of "Gunsmoke" where a killer was using a silencer he had invented on his rifle, so it has been done before in media. --[[User:Krel|Krel]] 21:58, 14 June 2012 (CDT)

It was done to show that Moriarty is better than Holmes. as you see in the first film Holmes is "in the process of inventing a device which muffles the sound of a gunshot". Moriarty succeeds where Sherlock Failed.

== Moran's sniper rifle ==

Moran's rifle looks nothing like Martini-Henry. In fact, it looks nothing like any rifle I've seen. Maybe it's a complete prop?

==Hand grenades==
I have a feeling these are just custom props. They seems much too nice to be military issue grenades. Look similar to No.2 Mk.1/2 Grenades from WW1 --[[User:Sidewinder Forge|Sidewinder Forge]] ([[User talk:Sidewinder Forge|talk]]) 13:39, 27 October 2012 (EDT).

=="Lawgiver"==
The "Lawgiver" is the standard pistol carried by the Judges in the film, including Dredd ([[Karl Urban]]) and Cassandra Anderson ([[Olivia Thirlby]]). It can fire in several different modes, with the gun visibly changing shape (such as the barrel extending). Firing models appear to be built around a Glock pistol with a full-size grip, such as a [[Glock 17]] or [[Glock 19]].

==Cool page==
Just a reminder. How about some descriptions in the screencaps? Just don't forget them. Nothing is more irritating than a screencap with NO explanation as to who is doing what with what gun.. :D Just a reminder. [[User:MoviePropMaster2008|MoviePropMaster2008]]
:Will add them today, just wanted to get the core of the page up last night. They won't be particularly insightful, as this is all from the trailer so will be generic shit like "Dredd fires his pistol" but is better than nothing I suppose. --[[User:Commando552|commando552]] 04:25, 22 June 2012 (CDT)

==Lawgiver==

I believe the lawgiver in this movie might be a Vektor CP1. I was looking at one of the screencaps, and i noticed the tell-tale handle of the CP1. Since it was made in south africa, not a stretch, but we'll have to wait and see. [[User:spartanlord91|spartanlord91]]

Looking at this production pic its a Glock variant. Think it should go on the main page? --[[User:Sidewinder Forge|Sidewinder Forge]] 08:59, 22 June 2012 (CDT)

[[File:Dredd2012 Lawgiver.jpg]]

:Thanks for the pic. A Glock of some sort was my guess from the general grip shape in the picture where he is launching the rocket, but that confirms it. However I wouldn't put it on the main page as that looks like it isn't an officially released picture but rather a possibly unauthorised picture that someone has randomly taken on set. As to what specific variant it is, the grip makes it either a 17 or 19 (assuming it is a 9mm). --[[User:Commando552|commando552]] 11:04, 22 June 2012 (CDT)

== Judge Dredd ==

Can you please also not forget to make a reference to [[Judge Dredd]]? Until I saw your entry in IMFDB, I was not aware of this new 2012 installment and it would be nice to know how it fits in with the earlier movie. Watched [[Judge Dredd]] on video (!) ages ago and it will take a lot to beat Sylvester "I am the Leuw" Stallone, --[[User:PeeWee055|PeeWee055]] 05:08, 22 June 2012 (CDT)

From what I've read the film-makers are doing all they can to distance themselves and this film from the Stallone one. The first film was supposedly pretty much considered the worst thing ever by fans of 2000AD. Critics also largely hated it, and it was considered a commercial failure. So I guess this is more of a "reboot". [[User:Jimmoy|Jimmoy]] 05:58, 22 June 2012 (CDT)

== Fictionalised Minigun ==
In the trailer you see a brief close up of what I think is supposed to be one of the balcony miniguns. You're looking down along the side of the barrel cluster at the delinker/motor area - this does appear to be at least modeled on a real minigun.
