Are we not going to include the essentially vital movie poster of the gun aiming a SCAR incorrectly with his eye right on the rear sight and not even aiming?

I saw the film the other day, and we're mostly on spot with the guns used. Stan Hurley (Michael Keaton) uses a Beretta 92FS as his sidearm for the film.

I am remembering watching this and remembered the range scene where the guy, in his emotions, threw all range safety out of the way but I'm wondering...in the 18 months since the death of his girlfriend, could he not find a class that would actually teach him tactical skills or he couldn't at least set up at a more private range to shoot more than one targets than this scene where he was fucking with other's targets?

Even in the novel 'American Assassin', Rapp didn't attend formal tactical shooting training, he simply visited a range and started shooting: it was only training with Hurley in 'selection' that he honed his skills and was taught properly. I agree it was ridiculous for him to throw safety out the window, and shooting the other targets, not a good idea. Also, noticed that the guy shooting on his left has a snub nosed, nickel revolver which I can't clearly ID. The shooter on his left has a SIG-Sauer, I think its a P226R.--[[User:Bauer2121|Bauer2121]] ([[User talk:Bauer2121|talk]]) 17:32, 14 December 2017 (EST) | |||

Trailer Release
So the trailer was released only two days ago, and already I can see a lot of firearms featured in. AK variants are used by the terrorists on the beach, Mitch Rapp (Dylan O'Brien) trains with a stainless steel Colt Government, a Bushmaster ACR, a Glock (either a 17 or a 19) with a weaponlight, a Glock he racks the slide of, and an unidentified pistol that could be a SIG P320 based on the slide serrations. Stan Hurley (Michael Keaton) loads and holds a Beretta and an unidentified pistol. --Bauer2121 (talk) 19:18, 21 April 2017 (EDT)
