			=="First generation" M4s==
			I don't think it's accurate to call them "first generation." At least in my book, the first generation of M4s would technically be the original batch of Model 777s that had A2 uppers. [[User:Spartan198\|Spartan198]] ([[User talk:Spartan198\|talk]]) 05:14, 16 October 2021 (EDT)

	:On the unknown rifle please look at the Browning BLR Rifle at this link http://www.chuckhawks.com/lever_action.htm The rifle looks like the BLR with an UZI magazine put in place of the standard Mag. Thank you.		:On the unknown rifle please look at the Browning BLR Rifle at this link http://www.chuckhawks.com/lever_action.htm The rifle looks like the BLR with an UZI magazine put in place of the standard Mag. Thank you.

			The "Garbage Planet" bit is actually a major theme from the original book that [[Blade Runner]] was based on, ''Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep'', which is the concept of "Kipple." "Kipple" is ''"unwanted or useless objects that tend to reproduce itself"'' and which ''"drives out nonkipple."'' Some characters in that novel like to talk about how the Earth isn't going to die from the radioactive fallout from WWIII, but from Kipple. Kipple isn't explicitly shown much in [[Blade Runner]], except for the trash bags that Pris tries to sleep in and the general run-down nature of most everything in the film. It looks like they turned the "Kipple" up to eleven in this film. I suppose the original ideacame from PKD's more drug-addled days when he was too paranoid/intoxicated to clean his residence. --[[User:Mazryonh\|Mazryonh]] ([[User talk:Mazryonh\|talk]]) 16:06, 1 September 2014 (EDT)
