	I think we got of subject. He originally stated that the gun is said to 20+ years old, when the gun was manufactured by a Soviet factory when America and the Communists in Russia were not exactly on friendly terms, so unless it is meant to be an American made gun (and the movie makers didn't really care who made it), the shotgun should'nt be there. - [[User:Kilgore\|Kilgore]] 21:55, 14 September 2010 (UTC)		I think we got of subject.

	So in the context of this film (which I have not seen), a gun is 20 years old, thus it's considered surprising that it fires? WTF? A gun is not like a perishable fruit or something like that. Also the Spartan was made by Baikal for Remington, thus it can't be 20 years old. 20 years ago, there was still a Soviet Union and Baikal is a Russian manufacturer. I just found this statement funny...
