Harry's Game was a novel before it was produced as a mini-series on British television in 1982. It's interesting to note that Billy used the Armalite AR-18 throughout the novel instead of the Type 56.That includes the beginning whne he murders the British goverment minister. The novel was written in the mid seventies by Gerald Seymour and at that time the AR-18 had become associated with the IRA. Much like the Thompson Submachine Gun was in the twenties.Jcordell

Yep.

Additional guns

I added the line items for the other guns you mentioned so that there would be the minimum requirement to get a 'table of contents of guns' on the page. This helps the formatting as well as give the page some space for the poster. MoviePropMaster2008 05:20, 8 May 2009 (UTC)
