Well, G36s are pretty common for British police, and Royal Ordnance did own H&K for a period of time, so I would imagine there would be no shortage of G36s in the UK. I believe the British even considered using G36 to replace SA-80 at one time before H&K come up with SA-80A2. But yeah, the regular British Army should be using SA-80s. | Well, G36s are pretty common for British police, and Royal Ordnance did own H&K for a period of time, so I would imagine there would be no shortage of G36s in the UK.

Looks like it's actually a [[Winchester Model 1866 "Yellow Boy"]] instead of a [[Winchester Model 1877]]. So I've changed it. --[[User:Jcordell|Jcordell]] 00:38, 23 September 2010 (UTC) | |||

I'll try to rent and screencap this eventually. -GM
It seems strange that the army uses G36Cs in this movie, as they are in Britain, and the rifle of the British Army is the SA-80. Any thoughts on this? -Dannysaysnoo

Winchester Model 1866
Looks like it's actually a Winchester Model 1866 "Yellow Boy" instead of a Winchester Model 1877. So I've changed it. --Jcordell 00:38, 23 September 2010 (UTC)
