Keller’s carbine
Are we really sure that the SBR used by Dean Keller (Ben McKenzie) is a TTI build? As far as I can tell, it’s just a standard BCM CQB-9 (likely in .300 Blackout, since BCM only offered the 9” URGs in this caliber). I say this because throughout the film, you can clearly see the BCM markings on the receiver - including the second screenshot on the page. Taran’s ARs use lots of BCM components, but they aren’t going to come with BCM receiver markings (because TTI guns typically use Vltor receivers like the MUR design).
On another note, this page doesn’t account for the other BCM rifles seen in the movie. Some of the cops use BCM RECCE-14 carbines (fitted with KMR-A13 KeyMod forearms); Keller is seen using one that is fitted with an ACOG briefly. When I saw the movie, I remember finding it odd that the SWAT officers carry those retro 16” carbines with A2-style fixed carry handle receivers and no rails or optics (as we document in the page), while the regular uniformed cops get state-of-the-art new BCM rifles with modern optics and modular rails. -MT2008 (talk) 14:23, 5 July 2020 (EDT)
