Cobra (1986)

Cobra is a 1986 action film starring Sylvester Stallone as Lieutenant Marion "Cobra" Cobretti, a Los Angeles police detective who is assigned to protect a witness from a cult gang of murderers on the streets of Los Angeles. The film was directed by George Pan Cosmatos, who was just coming off directing Stallone in the blockbuster sequel Rambo: First Blood Part II. While opening at number one at the box office, the film ultimately proved to be a critical and financial disappointment. Sylvester Stallone adapted the screenplay from the Paula Gosling novel Fair Game (which was adapted again into a 1995 action film starring William Baldwin and Cindy Crawford).

+==Jatimatic SMG==
+The [[Jatimatic SMG]] is used by Cobra in the movie. In several scenes the Jatimatic is seen fitted with an early model Laser Products Corp. (today known as Surefire) laser sight - most likely a LPC Model 7.
+The Jatimatic is a Finnish 9mm submachine gun developed in the late 1970s and early 1980s by Jali Timari, making its debut in 1983, manufactured (initially) by Tampereen Asepaja Oy (TAO) and later by Oy Golden Gun Ltd (as the GG-95 PDW, re-introduced unsuccessfully in 1995). '''''Cobra''''' marked one of the few prominent appearances of the weapon in media.

-== Colt Gold Cup National Match ==
+==Over/Under Shotgun==
-Stallone carries a handgun that looks like a Gold Cup:
+An [[12_Gauge_Double_Barreled_Shotgun#Over_and_Under_Shotgun_.28O.2FU.29|Over/Under Shotgun]] is used by one of the gang members.

-[[Image:Cobragoldcup.jpg|thumb|none|300px|]]
-However, the magazine (loaded with Glaser Safety Slugs, BTW) and the barrel don't look like they belong to a .45 ACP pistol. Maybe it is a 9 mm or .38 super auto handgun but, if memory serves, the Gold Cup was not offered in these calibers. The "Elite IX" and the "Super Elite" were offered in these calibers, but they had stainless steel frames (maybe it is a custom pistol?)
