	The revolvers used by the bank robbers at the beginning of the movie are not S&W model 29. The profile of the frame, the front sight and (in the pic where it can be seen) the cylinder release latch look more like a Colt King Cobra. However, if I remember well the movie, the guns lacked the heavy, full underlug barrel of the King Cobra. My guess is that these are blank guns.

	It's weird seeing one in a movie made in 2002. Sure, the Aimpoint CompM2 was still pretty new then, but it's hard not to think of OEGs as difficult-to-use antiques. They're pretty much useless for long-aiming but they work well enough for quick acquisition (an ocular effect called 'phoria' makes the red dot move around after a little while. it's what happens when the binocular effect is broken and the eyes are basically looking at two different objects) and they don't need batteries. That weird little clear bit on the front gathers light to illuminate the dot. They're also the weird looking sights on Star Wars blasters.

	- It was previously listed as a 'Smith & Wesson 500', which is, uh, incorrect. It's clear this gun is '''nowhere''' near big enough to be a '''500'''. Was it even released when this film was made? Either way, definitely not a 500. Another comment previously posted on the Main page (reposted below) states so as well. As for what the gun actually is, I'd probably go with a Python snub myself.
