Discussion
M16A2
The pistol grip on the M16 appears to be lacking the finger notch which is on the A2 but not on the A1. It is difficult to be certain from the picture. This could be an A1 with A2-style handguards. Does anyone know for certain?
- That's not an M16A2. The upper seems to have no forward assist, so that means it's an M16A1 upper. The lower is an SP1-style lower. It's just like this gun:

Full auto P99s

Modified Beretta 92FS
Additionally, are the compensators attached to Selene's Beretta 92FS are real world compensator or were the designed specifically for the film? 29 June 2009 (UTC)
dose Selene had two Beretta 92FS, two P99s, and a USP conpact on her at all times?
- I don't think so. It's been awhile since I've seen the movie, but IIRC, she carried the Berettas for the first part of the movie, then switched to the Walthers once they started using the silver nitrate rounds.

Would it be possible to convert a Beretta 92FS to fire 3 round burst rather than full auto?

- I agree. You can just about make out the unfolded forward grip at the top, along with the long slanted compensator. --commando552 11:49, 8 October 2011 (CDT)
To me, the back end looks too short to be a PM-63. I want to say Arsenal Shipka. Spartan198 (talk) 20:07, 14 February 2016 (EST)
