Who keeps on misidentifying the photo of my gun as a Remington 700P. That's Remington's NEW version of this gun, but the photograph is of my 700PSS, and it's marked like that on the receiver. Since most of the armorers I know of picked up their guns when this sniper rifle was first offered, chances are that they are all 700PSS rifles, not the new 700P.

What caliber is the Desert Eagle?
I'm pretty sure it's .44 magnum, but it could be .50 ae
- Most likely .44. This movie was filmed in Canada and had a Canadian armorer. MoviePropMaster explained to us that Canadian armorers mostly use the .44 Magnum version of the Desert Eagle, whereas American armorers only use the .357 and .50 models. -MT2008
- That info was told to my face by Mike Papac and Syd Stembridge, so I trust it is true, since I myself would not know what most of the other armorers would be using, but Mike is a pretty big name in the biz (and a really nice guy) MoviePropMaster2008 02:22, 21 June 2009 (UTC)
Remington 700PSS
Who keeps on misidentifying the photo of my gun as a Remington 700P. That's Remington's NEW version of this gun, but the photograph is of my 700PSS, and it's marked like that on the receiver. Since most of the armorers I know of picked up their guns when this sniper rifle was first offered, chances are that they are all 700PSS rifles, not the new 700P.

Page Change
After watching the movie last night, I observed that Bobby's Mossberg briefly changes to the 870 used by the Mercer's earlier in the film. The magazine end cap and lack of safety on top of the receiver tipped me off. I moved the screens and modified the descriptions accordingly. GLOCK10mm (talk) 16:05, 14 August 2013 (EDT)

If this is the only image of the Mark 23, how can we ID this as a Mark 23? The barrel is offscreen, as far as I know, everything else would be identical to a USP. --Funkychinaman (talk) 14:43, 31 October 2013 (EDT)
