I remember after they kill the old guy, Alonso puts a derringer in his hand and puts two rounds in the guy's vest, one of which breaks through the vest and wounds him. Could you get a shot of that MT? - [[User:Gunmaster45|Gunmaster45]] 05:20, 3 December 2008 (UTC) | I remember after they kill the old guy, Alonso puts a derringer in his hand and puts two rounds in the guy's vest, one of which breaks through the vest and wounds him.

Yeah I was just thinking the same. Gangsta-style is indeed holding a firearm sideways, but since he wasn't using any kind of technique (Macedonian shooting?), it's safe to assume he was shooting like that for either the gangsta-style or for practical reasons(in this case, brass deflection).[[User:Xarex|Xarex]] 23:49, 4 December 2010 (UTC) | :Yeah I was just thinking the same.

I always assumed it was a double purpose thing. It makes him look more like a thug and less like a cop, and it also stops brass from smacking him in the face. I've used a similar technique when shooting two at a time, although I was holding the left gun "Half Homie", at about a 45 degree angle.

Screen shot
I remember after they kill the old guy, Alonso puts a derringer in his hand and puts two rounds in the guy's vest, one of which breaks through the vest and wounds him. Could you get a shot of that MT? - Gunmaster45 05:20, 3 December 2008 (UTC)
- How's it look now that I chopped off the widescreen bars? - Gunmaster45 05:23, 3 December 2008 (UTC)
- Much better! I will see about getting a shot of the "stingers" used by Roger (and used by Alonzo to shoot the other guy in his vest). -MT2008 18:13, 3 December 2008 (UTC)
Smith & Wesson 4506 "gangsta" style?

Missing gun
In the scene where Jake attempts to disarm and arrest Alonso, he takes his twin 4506s, a two-tone Glock 17 "from his back pocket" and another gun from an ankle holster. Does anyone know what that gun was? If so, please add it to the article. Thanks Thewolfchild (talk) 23:10, 23 March 2017 (EDT)
