:: At least one model of bow is a compact one that can fold up tightly. When Hawkeye needs to use it, he thrusts forward and the arms snap into place. I think that was a special prop due to the difficulties in getting a stringed bow to fold up and snap out like that, and they switch to a slightly modified composite bow after.

The HK45 control lever has a positive stop and returns to the “fire” position after decocking.
:::::By using the modular approach to the internal components first pioneered by HK on the USP, the control lever function of the HK45 can be switched from the left to the right side of the pistol to accommodate left-handed shooters (additional parts required). Left and right mounted control levers provide safety and/or decocking functions as required and can be fitted to the pistol simply by changing parts.

== Mercenaries? (spoilers) ==
Iron Man, Captain America, Thor, The Hulk, Nick Fury all present and accounted for? Excellent, let the best comic book film since Iron Man commence. What a movie this was. Joss Whedon must have finally been able to prove that he is a fantastic film maker (I never doubted this as I loved Buffy and Firefly.) If you were to write a checklist of everything you need to make a great ensemble comic book hero film then you should take a notepad with you to write down a few extra things that you will not have thought of.
Right now the page describes the people accompanying Hawkeye when he attacks the heli-carrier as mercenaries, but this isn't the case is it? Unless I missed something they are brainwashed SHIELD agents aren't they? --[[User:Commando552|commando552]] 05:38, 16 May 2012 (CDT)
For starters it manages to introduce each different member of The Avengers team in their own special way best suited to each character, as usual we see Tony Stark drinking, Steve Rogers is still trying to come to terms with being a man out of time, Bruce Banner is off the grid and Thor, well Thor is just being Thor with his hammer and everything. What makes this film work for me is how well these characters interplay with each other, Tony Stark and Bruce Banner seem like a bromance made in heaven, and their scenes together are the highlight of the film for me. It's fun to see Steve Rogers slowly coming to terms with the fact that in 2012 things are not as black and white as they were in 1945. He still seems to believe in the patriotism that existed in his day and age and is all for kicking Loki's ass. Thor is a central part of the story as there is a lot with him and his brother, Loki. On to Loki, I was initially sceptical as to how Loki would be as a villain, however my scepticism has been diminished. Loki is the perfect character to bring all of these heroes together, he plays each of them perfectly and his plan is not as convoluted as some comic book villains plans are, so it's not too complex to follow. Bruce Banner is the real stand out for me personally, Mark Ruffalo slips into the role of Banner with very little effort, he plays Banner as more of a human than I have seen before, his constant warnings of "the other guy" throughout show that he is really trying to take control and not change, however there is a wonderful scene between Stark and Banner where Stark explains how Banner should accept the Hulk as a part of him and pushes Banner to change.
This was my thought also, I think it should be changed. --[[User:Sidewinder Forge|Sidewinder Forge]] 08:47, 16 May 2012 (CDT)
The final half hour of the film is a total thrill ride, I have yet to mention Jeremy Renner as Hawkeye, he puts in a fantastic performance and I am really looking forward to his eventual spin off film (we all know it will happen at some point) and there are some moments that throw the book out of the window as it takes common film conceptions and tips them on their head, the scene between Loki and The Hulk in Stark Towers is a prime example of this. Whedon's dialogue is top notch, he seems to have managed to capture the essence of each character from their previous films, it's hard not to see that Whedon must be a huge comic book fan. His direction is brilliant, there are some stunning camera moves which really manage to put you right in the middle of the action with the camera literally swooping around the final battle sequence in one point. The score by Alan Silverstri really throws home the heroic nature of the characters, Silverstri's previous work has been era defining (he did the scores to both the Back To The Future trilogy and to Predator and Predator 2) and I don't doubt that his work on The Avengers will become a well remembered score along with his previous work.
Chances are at least some of them are mercenaries '''*SPOILER*''' it is referenced in the movie when Loki is talking to Hawkeye in the cave before they go to germany that Hawkeye was able to get so many people to join Loki because of the amount of enemies SHIELD had. This implies that the people helping Loki outside of Hawkeye and Erik Selvig are not members of SHIELD. [[User:Dover500|Dover500]] 09:18, 16 May 2012 (CDT)
I can see some similarities between the final battle sequence in this and in the last Transformers film, however where Transformers Dark Of The Moon seemed to not really have as much of an impact and really felt like it went out with a whimper at the end the final battle, The Avengers is non-stop and it doesn't get complacent and boring, it manages to keep throwing all these different obstacles that must be faced off by The Avengers. It also gives a nice conclusion which ties up the end of the film nicely and leaves it wide open for a sequel.
:I don't remember that line, but I would imagine that other SHIELD personnel must have been turned as I doubt things like the Quinjet are off the shelf and would have to have come from a shield base somewhere presumably with some personnel. Regardless, I don't think they should be referred to as mercenaries as that is purely an assumption. I think it would be simpler (and less spoilery) just to refer to them as "Hawkeye's team". If you have seen the film you will know what that means, and if you haven't it gives nothing away. --[[User:Commando552|commando552]] 09:54, 16 May 2012 (CDT)

It's also great to see Agent Coulson get more character development, he is by far my favourite non-major character from the previous Marvel films. The way he plays with each character is fantastic and he really comes across as the one person who believes in The Avengers even when they don't believe in themselves.

== Gun Handling Audio ==
I was watching The Avengers with commentary the other day, but had the subtitles turned on so I could follow the dialog. In the scene where Black Widow draws on banner, the subtitles and audio indicate "gun cocking". Since the Glock 19 has an internal striker, there really isn't anything for Johannsen to draw back with her thumbs.

Yes, it does. Said safety can also be moved to the other side of the weapon for left-handed shooting, as appears to be the case here. Quoting from HK USA: "An improved USP-style control lever, a combination safety and decocking lever, is frame mounted on the HK45 and is quickly accessible. The HK45 control lever has a positive stop and returns to the “fire” position after decocking.
By using the modular approach to the internal components first pioneered by HK on the USP, the control lever function of the HK45 can be switched from the left to the right side of the pistol to accommodate left-handed shooters (additional parts required).
