I think that the revolver that McClane uses at the end is definitely not a Centennial Airweight. You can clearly see the external hammer. Centennial Airweights have internal hammers.
CAR-15
I'm no expert, but the "M16 Variant" looks around the length of a CAR-15. Can anybody tell if this is true?
Safety Catch
There's a few things bothering me with the Mp5k's safety catch.
One, The Terrorist lets off a burst of ammo before being sliced in half.
Two, When Simon flicks the safety off after taking it from Zeus, It sounds like he racks the bolt back and forth.
sniper scope
to add some info about it...
the scope is actually a spotting scope (and not a riflescope) of either SCT (Schmidt-Cassegrain Telescope) or MCT (Maksutov-Cassegrain Telescope) type.
the dead give-away is the black circle in the center of the ocular (blue looking) lens that you see, as well as the large diameter of the scope - much larger than a riflescope diameter.
If this were a MCT then the black circle would be more reflective (like the blue reflection you see) since it would also be a lens. Since there does not seem to be a reflection, nor does it seem to allow light to pass through, my guess is that the black circle is the mount for the correcting plate, thus making this scope a SCT.
SCT and MCT spotting scopes are made commercially by such companies as Vixen, Orion, Celestron, and Meade. The size (diameter) varies, ranging from 50mm up to 120mm and beyond. My guess is that this is a 4 inch diameter scope with a straight eyepiece.
If you magnify the images and then change the contrast, you can see a reflection in the glass window of the door right next to him. This allows you to see more detail of the scope (additional knobs), but unfortunately you cannot see the name of the manufacturer of the scope.
Although it looks intimidating in the movie, using a spotting scope on a rifle is impractical. The assistant (Spotter) to the sniper is the one that uses a spotting scope, not the sniper himself.
