	Saw the movie again today and during the motorcycle scene Snake uses what appears to be an Ithaca shotgun, I noticed it isn't on the page, seems pretty hard to miss. The henchman escorting Snake to the stadium wield double barrel shotguns as well. - [[User:Diego Wolfwood\|Diego Wolfwood]]		Saw the movie again today and during the motorcycle scene Snake uses what appears to be an Ithaca shotgun, I noticed it isn't on the page, seems pretty hard to miss.

			Yes, I was watching it on TV the other day and saw what looked like an nickel-plated Ithaca 37 with a sawn-off barrel, i dont have the movie but i think it would be good to add.

	Interesting information. I didn't know that both movies were filmed around the same time period. I saw "Automatic" on cable. I remember it being pretty good for a made-for-video movie. The Coreburner gets a lot of use in the film, and there are several of them. I don't remember if they showed more than one firing at the same time. It was pretty elaborate what they did with the rifles. They put an aftermarket camcorder monitor on top of the rile, which functioned as the site, and the controls. As I said there is at least one scene showing the aiming the rifle around corners, with the image displayed on the monitor. In another scene they use the monitor to select the type of grenade the rifle was to fire. I'd say that the Corrburner was one of the stars of "Automatic". Krel, March 25, 2011.

			::The Coreburner used in Automatic was from Stembridge Gun Rentals and was based upon the Patriot Pistol. It never worked right in full auto so the propmaster brought the gun to Ellis and we used it as a guide. The shop made all new prosthetic parts for the LaFrance M16K while I changed the M16K to work with those new parts and machined new forend and buffer tubes. This was all done in one day due to the Patriot not working as promised. That is why there are two Coreburners and they are different systems and dimensions. --[[User:Phoenixent\|phoenixent]] 19:18, 6 February 2012 (CST)
