Unidentified Weapons
A thug threatens McKenna with a pistol before being subdued.
- Looks like an NAA Guardian to me. (Gunmaster45, not signed in.)
Yes, that is a NAA Guardian. Seecamps do not have sights.
McKenna's 1911
Is it me or does it look like the 1911 McKenna is using is the engraved one that is used in Supernatural and Machette? --cool-breeze 01:34, 4 December 2010 (UTC)
It's similiar, but both of the ones you mentioned are heavily engraved, especially De Niro's. The pistol from this film just has a phrase on either side of the slide. mmarlon brando
hitmen in movies
in this version it look like there assanations are the run in and shoot the place to pieces. is the original he tried to make it look like an an accident first
well they only show three hits . the one in the pool , which is totaly ninja , the one where the gas station blows, an accident and then the all out brawl in the street , and being that they killed his mentor and father, i would hit em hard also . and being that they are aware of the hitmans presence , the sneek atack isnt an option. simmons 8492

This movie... was not crap. humanzie3
The Barrett
Ben Foster is the one firing it right.simmons 8492
Yup, he decimates a cinder block in short order. mmarlon brando
Ooopsie! Watch close the slo-mo on the case ejection in the movie - right near the frame grab used. Crimped closed case necks. BLANKS. No cinder blocks were actually shot in the making of this movie. :)
Couch Gun
For those who've seen the movie, at one point a character draws a pistol from the inside of a couch. Anyone catch what it was? It was lightning fast, but I'm thinking Glock 19. Hopefully someone can confirm. mmarlon brando

Magic 1911?
I just saw this movie again today, and I'm almost positive it turns from an Auto Ordinance 1911 when shot by Harry at his van to a Springfield armory 1911 when we see the close up at the end of the movie. --AlexoftheYear 06:00, 1 February 2011 (UTC)
- After seeing the movie, the gun is a beautiful all chrome 1911A1, however, it does not have all the fancy scroll work engraving on it. The handgun is smooth finish with a Latin phrase on one side and the English translation "Victory Loves Preparation" on the other.

Scope on FN F2000
Contrary to what recent revisions would imply, there is nothing to suggest that the Leupold Mark 4 CQ/T would ever function properly if mounted backwards. The FN F2000 uses a universal top rail, and it was clearly a glaring mistake on the part of the Armorer or prop department, and not mounted on backwards to "fit this particular FN."
SIG P226R, not P226
I think that the SIG is actually a P226R, not a non railed P226. I say that because in a few of the screenshots, it looks like there is a rail present. --Bauer2121 (talk) 13:07, 24 June 2016 (EDT)

There are a couple of good side on one where not only is no no sign of the rail slots, but the bottom of the frame is also at an angle to the barrel which is not the case with railed versions.
