I don't like it. I always pictured revolvers as big powerful weapons in .38, .357, or .44. A 9mm wheelgun, while effective I'm sure, just seems sorta wimpy to me. [[User:ShootingLiberal|ShootingLiberal]] 20:53, 2 September 2010 (UTC) | |||

Well, that's what I thought but I think it actually uses a different type of 9mm. I'm not sure but I'll post the link to the world.guns page (they have a lot of info about it)http://world.guns.ru/handguns/hg199-e.htm --[[User:ColonelTomb|ColonelTomb]] 20:01, 4 September 2010 (UTC) | |||

I'm not sure why the Chinese police don't just use Tokarevs. A 9mm revolver seems a bit dumb. Hughjefender | |||

:Not necessarily. Kane and Lynch could just be loading all their mags with 12 rounds. I mean, you can't really identify an movie or game gun by its capacity, what with people not knowing things and game balance issues.

Well, I suppose that's true. However, the ingame gun seems to pack quite a bit of punch, as in mostly achieving 1-shot-kills if you aim for the center of mass, whereas some of the other pistols (i.e. the N77) take 2 or 3 center of mass shots to take someone down. --[[User:ColonelTomb|ColonelTomb]] 16:14, 25 September 2010 (UTC) | |||

:I also think it '''IS''' a 96FS and it should be changed to that. Remember that it is called "Doretta" which could also refer to the 96FS not just the 92FS.

== Possible origin of the word "Nianshi" == | |||
In Chinese, "Nianshi" isn't an actual word. No combination of characters pronounced "nian" and "shi" form actual words (and you would need to stretch it to make it somehow fit a company name). However, there is one case where two characters pronounced "nian" and "shi" appear next to each other in a firearm name. Using the Type 79 submachine gun as an example, one form of its Chinese name is "Year 1979 Type Submachine Gun", written as "1979年式冲锋枪", with the pinyin being "1979 '''nián shì''' chōng fēng qiāng". "年式" itself still isn't a word (literally meaning "Year Type"), but you can see how that might have influenced the "Nianshi" name in-game . --[[User:Wuzh|Wuzh]] ([[User talk:Wuzh|talk]]) 14:06, 2 February 2019 (EST) | |||

Latest revision as of 20:20, 2 February 2019
First game was unshiny at all, why would they make another one.
It was a financial success. Poeple liked the story and the characters but the gameplay was bad ...
AFAIR, game had 6.5 - 7.5 scores on major review sites. And plot was overfilled with cliches. AK74 was the only good thing about the game.
As much as I like to say otherwise, Kane & Lynch was pretty flawed game. I'm still looking forward the sequel, fingers crossed. --AlkoTanko 13:47, 25 January 2010 (UTC)
Hey, who the hell took my picture of the track pants wearing loser out? BeardedHoplite 20:19, 11 June 2010 (UTC)
Mystery pistol
Would someone mind identifying this? I think it is the Beretta. BeardedHoplite 19:00, 29 July 2010 (UTC)
Definitely a Beretta.
Kane & Lynch
For those who've played this game. Which one is Kane, and which is Lynch?
I'm confused about this new movie Adaptation with Bruce Willis as Kane and
can't help think he should be playing Lynch. Michael Biehn should play Kane.
Lynch is the balding fellow with shotgun, other one is Kane (who looks like he has grown some hair since first game, odd).
Clearly, the case he stole from Retomoto was filled with Rogaine.
In the screenshot of Lynch holding a hostage, i have my doubts that the gun is a beretta, does anybody have any suggestions what it is? BeardedHoplite 01:17, 6 May 2010 (UTC)
It's a Norinco model 77B, you can tell on account of the unusual shaped trigger guard, which doubles as a one handed slide-cycling mechanism, you depress the front of the trigger guard and it causes the slide to cycle back. Doesn't exactly seem useful under stress, it would take a lot of force from just your trigger finger to manipulate the thing, even if you could reach it without adjusting your grip, but whaddya gonna do. --Toadvine 23:37, 6 May 2010 (UTC)
whos decision was it to cast jamie foxx as lynch?
The unknown SMG is a Steyr MPi 69 or 81
Beta Access
Hey, I will have a beta of Dog Days tomorrow. I will confirm most of the weapons
Could someone identify the shotgun in the limited edition picture BeardedHoplite 04:48, 11 July 2010 (UTC)
Looks like some sort of 870 to me/ ShootingLiberal
I could've swore the tan framed handgun in the game was one of those Smith and Wesson M&P's in .45, not a Springfield XD. --Toadvine 18:26, 11 July 2010 (UTC)
Thoughts of the game
You get used to the very grainy film style and the shaky camera angle. It does annoy the hell out of you, but there is something about these characters and what resembles a plot that hooks you. Excalibur01 01:55, 19 August 2010 (UTC)
I agree man, the story is damn short but the plot is a frantic one that doesn't let up over it's short lenght. BeardedHoplite 01:57, 20 August 2010 (UTC)
