			== Jones gun ==

			It's difficult to see but Jones gun has a "ring" hammer. The article says the gun he is using is a Colt Mk IV Series 70.

	:::Definitely not. The ''Red October'' is a Typhoon-class nuclear sub, and the first of those were commissioned by the USSR in the early-1980s. Then there's the scene at the end where an SH-60B Seahawk is used in ASW activities - the Seahawk design also dates from the late-70s/early-80s (the first were brought into service around '84-'85, so if this movie is set in 1984, their use may be a tad bit anachronistic, though not much). Not to mention that the cars, computers, phones, and other stuff seen in this film are definitely from the 80s. -[[User:MT2008\|MT2008]]		:::Definitely not.

			:::Another clue as to the timeframe of the movie is a line the ''Red October'''s doctor, Lt. Yevgeniy Petrov ([[Tim Curry]]) made when he and the other officers are eating; "where did he learn how to cook, Afghanistan?".

	::::Shit. I think there is another Tom Clancy Cold War book that was turned into a movie that was set during the 1960s.
