Talk:The Transporter: Difference between revisions
The picture is pretty blurry, but I'm pretty sure that the Cougar turns into a non-gun when he's pointing it at Frank Martin.

==Singlepoint OEG==
It's weird seeing one in a movie made in 2002. Sure, the Aimpoint CompM2 was still pretty new then, but it's hard not to think of OEGs as difficult-to-use antiques. They're pretty much useless for long-aiming but they work well enough for quick acquisition (an ocular effect called 'phoria' makes the red dot move around after a little while. it's what happens when the binocular effect is broken and the eyes are basically looking at two different objects) and they don't need batteries. That weird little clear bit on the front gathers light to illuminate the dot. They're also the weird looking sights on Star Wars blasters.

==Not Model 29s==
The revolvers used by the bank robbers at the beginning of the movie are not S&W model 29. The profile of the frame, the front sight and (in the pic where it can be seen) the cylinder release latch look more like a Colt King Cobra. However, if I remember well the movie, the guns lacked the heavy, full underlug barrel of the King Cobra. My guess is that these are blank guns.
:Or Colt Trooper Mk III revolvers. Also sign your posts, four of these ~. [[User:Black Irish Paddy|Black Irish Paddy]] ([[User talk:Black Irish Paddy|talk]]) 17:38, 15 November 2020 (EST) [[File:Colt-Trooper-Mk-III-Nickel.jpg|thumb|none|500px|]] [[File:ColtTrooperMKIII.jpg|thumb|none|500px|]]
- It was previously listed as a 'Smith & Wesson 500', which is, uh, incorrect. It's clear this gun is nowhere near big enough to be a 500. Was it even released when this film was made? Either way, definitely not a 500. Another comment previously posted on the Main page (reposted below) states so as well. As for what the gun actually is, I'd probably go with a Python snub myself.

I don't think that's a Model 500. From the picture (going by the hammer and the curved part of the frame where the hammer is) it looks more like a chrome Python. Maybe a snubby S&W 686.
definitely a ruger super red hawk Alaskan in 44 mag.
I'm not sure it's a Ruger Super Redhawk Alaskan. Those didn't come out until 2005. This film came out 3 years too early for that. --500Magnum.
I agree, this is an M16A2. The carry handle doesn't have the knobs, which would indicate it's detachable, like on the A4. -MT2008 14:36, 29 November 2009 (UTC)
Then how can you tell if it's an M16A3? Excalibur01
Well it 'could' be an M16A3 in a foreign movie armory. I know that Colt sold the same variants they sold to the Military, to foreign countries. But we tend to refer to all M16A2s on films shot in the U.S. as M16A2s, since they are pretty much all full auto conversions of semi auto guns or military guns purchased from Colt via Police/LEO sales or Title II mfg (note: I asked CW if they had any 3 round burst guns, and it seems that no one has 3-round burst guns in Hollywood), so even receivers that are MARKED M16A2 "Property of U.S. Govt" are converted to fire full auto burst. I tend to offer the option of an A3 if the film was armored outside of the U.S. But a film within the U.S. will have a converted gun no matter what and I have never seen an A3 marked gun in the U.S. movie industry (but of course I haven't seen every gun in the U.S. movie arsenal but it's a pretty good rule of thumb so far).

Nickel-Plated Mini Uzi
Could this be the same prop from Kiss of the Dragon?
The Transporter was released only a year after, and both movies starred Ric Young.
Custom Guns such as the Two-Tone SP89 from Speed has also appeared in other movies.
Beretta Cougar
The picture is pretty blurry, but I'm pretty sure that the Cougar turns into a non-gun when he's pointing it at Frank Martin.
