I just noticed that this film has several similarities to the 1971 [[Charlton Heston]] film ''[[Omega Man, The|The Omega Man]]'', particularly the overall plot (a lone survivor trying to survive in a world overrun with zombie-esque monsters), and the name of the main protagonist.

It's intentional actually. I Am Legend is a novel written by Richard Matheson, and there is quite a few films based on it including this movie, The Omega Man, The Last Man on Earth, and I Am Omega.--[[User:Alienqueen11|Alienqueen11]] 00:12, 13 May 2010 (UTC) | |||

More info on the "Law Enforcement Carbine"
Propstore of London also has this picture of the M4gery he carries:
You can clearly see it says "Law Enforcement Carbine" on the receiver. I went to Colt's web site, looked up this model, found http://www.colt.com/law/lecarbine.asp, and voila!

Just got done revamping the page, and I apologize for the long delay. How does it look?--Alienqueen11 03:51, 25 May 2009 (UTC)
- Looks good. Spartan198 04:59, 25 May 2009 (UTC) Spartan198

Neville's ACOG
Wasn't the TA31F model designed and calibrated specifically for the M16A4 rifle? Or am I incorrect? Spartan198 11:39, 25 May 2009 (UTC) Spartan198

MASZ BIRIS
Neville used the receiver of a MASZ BIRIS - Battlefield Inoculation Remote Initiation System, to remotely detonate the placed charges. The Version used in the Movie is a little bit different from the actual version (note the aircraft style flip switch instead of a LCD).
