There seems to be the full length version of the film with extended scenes on netflix as of right now if anyone cares to get that. This page kind of needs a revamp. --[[User:AdAstra2009|AdAstra2009]] ([[User talk:AdAstra2009|talk]]) 19:38, 4 November 2015 (EST)

Hmmm. IMFDB won't allow us to type in the actual CORRECT TITLE for this movie, which is "xXx".  Because it won't allow a lower case letter to start a title.  But the actual official title (per IMDB and the movie poster) is "xXx" (lower case x, Upper case X and then a lower case x).  I hate it when software doesn't allow us the ability do to things 'out of the box'.... :(  [[User:MoviePropMaster2008|MoviePropMaster2008]] 02:52, 19 September 2011 (CDT)

I think this might need Bunni's attention, actually.

I think this might need Bunni's attention, actually. DISPLAYTITLE, according to the mediawiki documentation I've hunted down, shouldn't need a special template (and you can get rid of that page), it needs a server-side option called $wgAllowDisplayTitle to be set.

FNC, not HK-33

The rifle that Vin Diesel uses during the raid on the fortress is not actually a HK-33, but a FNC that is equipped with a Beta-C mag and telescopic sight. More details can be found on the weapon in this link: Long Mountain Outfitter's page on XXX

Screencaps

I just did some screencaps for xXx to fill the page out a little better. I'll add them to the site tommorow. -GM45

What do you guys think of the improved xXx page?


Steyr TMP

It's great now (you have such a good eye for shots of the guns). Only thing is, maybe a few more shots of Yelena with the MP9? -MT2008

Unfortunantly it's not a MP-9 but a Steyr TMP with the detachable stock that Steyr offered and an aftermarket scope mount installed. Not in the photos that the stock in the screencaps has no pivots and the barrel is nearly identical to the one shown in TMP photos. Rockwolf66

It's a Brugger & Thorbet MP9. Why did you change you DUMB@$$!!!
Hey, chill. He might actually be right. Personally, I can't really tell if the stock is fixed (in which case, the gun is probably a TMP with an aftermarket stock added) or an MP-9 with a folding stock. Unless you can give a more substantiated explanation for why the gun is an MP-9 (specific details you see identifying it as such), then you have no right to call Rockwolf a "dumbass". -MT2008 01:30, 28 February 2009 (UTC)

Don't worry about it MT. Rockwolf66

I for one think you are 100% right. The top doesn't have picattiny rails, and the C-more sight is mounted customly. The stock is likely an aftermarket add on, or another custom job. The dude who cursed you out doesn't even know how to write the gun's name or spell, so ignore him. Brugger and Thorbet? "Changr"? And he's missing an "it" after "changr". - Gunmaster45
Thorbet is what they call Sorbet in San Francisco...... MPM2008
It's a TMP modified to take a folding stock. They DID have folding stocks available for the TMP and also the others are right, a close look at the body of the weapon indicates it is a TMP. It lacks the changes made in the B&T gun design Just putting my 2 cents in MoviePropMaster2008
Sorry, it was a typo.
...and I also apologize for my profane launge.
I should of read the talk page first. Plus here's a little info about me: I'm 13 about to turn 14 and live in Indiana. So how can I create my own user acount?

I can't help but laugh my ass of to the statement above this one. He first apologizes for a typo then for his profane "launge" hahahahahahahaha

CZ-83

The CZ-83 is a .380 ACP or .32 ACP, not a 9x19mm.

The "serrated blade" under the barrel isn't actually a blade, if you look at the second screenshot, it's rounded. But if it's not a blade, what is it? And what's that strange ring on the end of the barrel?

The blading is likely just in use like a barrel weight, to make the front end heavier, and the ring on the end is a muzzle break. - Gunmaster45

Damn this movie loves C-more sights

Wonder i they were paid to advertise or just thought they looked cool?

This movie only? C-More sights are very common in movies generally (far more common than they are in the real world). It probably has little to do with advertising; more because they're inexpensive and look very high-tech. Check out Air Force One, Soldier, Live Free or Die Hard, Terminator Salvation, etc. for starters. -MT2008 16:58, 26 January 2011 (UTC)

Air pistol is not a crosman 2240, but a Webley & Scott Tempest or Hurricane

In the scene at the restaurant, Xander is shot with a dart from a Tempest or Hurricane, not from a 2240. The tempest is a spring powered air pistol, the 2240 is CO2 powered. You can see the difference between the rear sights and at the front. A Crosman 2240 has a round tube under the barrel, the tempest hasnt.

MP5 with M203?

Is there even any point to that on an smg? Is it just me, or does that sound tactically retarded? Lurker McNasty 10:11, 16 October 2011 (CDT)
