I agree with GM45 completely. The K98 Sniper doesn't belong on this page. [[User:MoviePropMaster2008|MoviePropMaster2008]] 06:17, 7 May 2009 (UTC)

That second picture is actually a "Bicycle troops" rifle - the only one with the turndown bolt and lange rear sight. The Karabiner 98b was modeled almost exactly after it. Reference: http://books.google.com/books?id=KlReVu0HziIC&pg=PA188&dq=weimar+98+rifle

==Gewehr 1898's in film==
I was just wondering, is it easier to get, say, a Turkish model of the Mauser then the actual German? Seems that way with some films.

*Somewhat. Unaltered G98s are relatively expensive today, or in very poor condition and less often available. Many of them were destroyed due to disarmament provisions after WWI, or converted, or kept in store, or sold to other countries. The Ottoman Empire had already received generous amounts of G98s (including more or less the entire 1916 Mauser Oberndorf am Neckar factory production run) as wartime ally, and was supplied with even more after the war as Germany turned towards shorter Karabiner rifles and got rid of most of the old stuff. Non-German Army Mausers are abundant, mostly in at least average condition, and very very inexpensive compared to the real (historically accurate) deal.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe he pulls a compact Beretta from a woman's purse in one fo the trailers. -- K [[Special:Contributions/98.118.59.244|98.118.59.244]] 22:22, 22 August 2010 (UTC)

Yeah, it did look like a Beretta Jetfire or something similiar. --[[User:Ruzhyo|Ruzhyo]] 05:03, 27 August 2010 (UTC)

It was his Hooker's girlfriend. The movie was moving slow so I didn't get a good look at it but he finds it in her purse. Also, for a uber-gunsmith am I the only one who finds it pathetic the best he can come up with is a Mini-14 for something "with the functionality of a sub-gun and the accuracy of an assault rifle [sic]?" It doesn't spoil anything for those who feel like wasting their money but the parameters she gives if I can remember correctly are:

- Target is at 150 to 175 yards
- "Silenced" to which for Clooney's part he suggests suppressed
- Rapid fire
- Able to fit in a vanity bag. Clooney amends it to a briefcase.

If I was the uber-gunsmith I would probably come up with something a little better. And because he has the barrel shipped to him he might as well just dish out for a nice supressor from AAC as opposed to running around town collecting parts.

*I agree. When I first saw that he got a Mini-14 I thought it was some kind of lame joke. Why choose such a high-velocity caliber like .223, then potentially having to use poor medium-range performance subsonic ammo (furthermore .223 ammo is not available for non-military/non-LE users in Italy, and would therefore be much harder and costlier to obtain illegally) when there would quite likely be much better options? A Mini-14 is nice for the A-Team or Uncle Joe in Kansas, but for a silent sniper? C'mon! I'ld call the whole sale a giant rip-off... [[User:Ungesehen|Ungesehen]] 19:38, 3 January 2011 (UTC)

And you'd have left an easy to follow paper trail, not exactly something an assassin wants. Buying a suppressor is something entirely different to buying a gun. speaking about the Ruger, it's a weapon that wouldn't leave a distinct paper trail, as opposed to more fanciful weapons fitting that description.

*****

Might be my eyes playing tricks on me but it looked to me like he had a PPK/S in Sweden and a PPK in the Italian scenes. I would not even consider this a huge continuity gaffe - perhaps he ditched one in transit.

*(Spoiler alert) As I thought the film was sort of a remake of 'The Mechanic' or of something involving a hitman in the 70's, a Bond superspy in the 60's or a cowboy in the 50s I was way ahead of the final plot twist until the bit near the end when the schoolbus drives up. I thought at last the well dressed hitwoman's requirements of her weapon that she required would fall into the plot-the silenced rapid fire rifle that fits in a handbag and costs $9.99 (with a free set of steak knives if you buy before midnight) would make sense as a weapon of choice to hit a schoolbus full of screaming rugrats (rather than just George). Following film cliches, that would give Clooney the chance to 'atone' for the opening bit by him stopping her. Alas, the film didn't go there.[[User:Foofbun|Foofbun]] 08:22, 31 December 2010 (UTC)

== Walther P88 Compact (Umarex Replica) ==

The security guard at the grocery store carries a [[Walther P88|Walther P88 Compact]] which is actually an Umarex 8mm Blank firing only replica of the Walther P88C. Lola ([[Franka Potente]]) later picks up the same pistol and wields it.
