::Thanks [[User:Slon95|Slon95]], I agree on the Ruger Mini-14, the muzzle, front sights, magazine and vent holes seem to match. I'm identifying it as such for now. About the MagTech, it could be, I simply cannot say for sure, but I do know they are used in Uruguay by civilians, although I can't say if they have ever been adopted by police.--[[User:Ssantusky|Ssantusky]] ([[User talk:Ssantusky|talk]]) 11:05, 7 July 2020 (EDT) | ::Thanks [[User:Slon95|Slon95]], I agree on the Ruger Mini-14, the muzzle, front sights, magazine and vent holes seem to match.

Revision as of 16:27, 7 July 2020
One Rifle ID
I can say with confidence the cop in the back has a Vetterli Model 1869/70. Pretty interesting weapon for 1960s Uruguay. Guess he came late to the handing out of weapons at the station and got stuck with the antique black powder bolt-action. --PyramidHead (talk) 11:32, 6 July 2020 (EDT)
- Added! Many thanks, PyramidHead! --Ssantusky (talk) 19:31, 6 July 2020 (EDT)
- I think they just used what "was at hand". Taurus and MAC-10 are also not suitable for the 60s, for that matter. --Slon95 (talk) 12:18, 7 July 2020 (EDT)
- Indeed, I will point out the anachronisms on those weapons.--Ssantusky (talk) 12:26, 7 July 2020 (EDT)
- The kneeing police officer in the second picture aims a 1909 Argentine Mauser rifle (note the auxiliary bayonet lug mounted beneath the muzzle). I'm not sure, but the rifles in the first and third picture look like Argentine M1909/26 Cavalry Carbines.--HighPhigh (talk) 01:58, 7 July 2020 (EDT)
- Thanks HighPhigh, I was going to ID some of these as Mauser Modelo Argentino 1909 models (the only one I was somewhat sure about), but I wasn't too sure myself about the rest in general, and wanted some opinions first (I'm not very well versed when it comes to old cavalry rifles).--Ssantusky (talk) 05:50, 7 July 2020 (EDT)
Shotguns
Could some shotgun connoisseur please take a look at the shotgun screenshots? I think I identified most of them correctly but I still have some doubts because of some details (grip, receiver, muzzle, fore-end, tube magazines). I think some of them could be perhaps Bataan 71 or Rexio 12/70 Argentine shotguns, but it's hard to notice because of the darkness in the scenes. Below are some photos for comparison.--Ssantusky (talk) 10:29, 7 July 2020 (EDT)
- Although this is generally badly visible, the shotgun in Weapons 8 seems to have a notch in the forend. Could this be Magtech? The rifle in Weapons 9 looks like one of the derivatives of the Ruger Mini-14. --Slon95 (talk) 10:48, 7 July 2020 (EDT)
- Thanks Slon95, I agree on the Ruger Mini-14, the muzzle, front sights, magazine and vent holes seem to match. I'm identifying it as such for now. About the MagTech, it could be, I simply cannot say for sure, but I do know they are used in Uruguay by civilians, although I can't say if they have ever been adopted by police.--Ssantusky (talk) 11:05, 7 July 2020 (EDT)
