I noticed that the gun placed down while he's in the shower is a "mystery Para" when it resembles the other Paras used. The only argument against it being the P18 is it's wider bore, but in a lot of shots, the bore looks like that of a .45. Is is possible they switched between P14s and P18s or something? ~[[User:yournamehere|Yournamehere]] | I noticed that the gun placed down while he's in the shower is a "mystery Para" when it resembles the other Paras used.

:That's a good point, and actually a thought I had myself. The difference between 9mm and .45 ACP 1911s is usually pretty obvious, and it does look to me like the Paras that 47 uses are actually P14s and not P18s in some of my screencaps. I'm really not sure. It is possible that they used both types of weapons in the film. -[[User:MT2008|MT2008]] | |||

looks more like a usp tactical minus threaded barrel
- If it doesn't have a threaded barrel, it can't possibly be a Tactical. It's probably a regular USP fitted with adjustable sights. It's very common in Hollywood for armorers to take stock models and then convert them to other variants as necessary. Saves them the trouble of having to buy a whole other gun when the only difference is something like the barrel.
Whew!
Done. -MT2008 22:28, 1 February 2009 (UTC)
- I'm glad you noticed the same errors I did. Like with the MP5s, I watched that part and was like "Miss a step." I'll add armorers input after I do Windtalkers. Back to school tommorow so it might take some time. - Gunmaster45

Makarov
Is It just me or does muzzle of Makarov in picture of Udre Belicoff holding the PM look like a .22?
the mak does look like it has the bore of a .22 --FIVETWOSEVEN 22:52, 26 January 2010 (UTC)
Unknown M1911
It might be an AMT Hardballer.-GunnutHk
- The Hardballer is most distinctive for having a much longer slide than a standard 1911. This gun doesn't. -MT2008
- Well technically the Hardballer Longslide does but a standard Harballer is 5", which is what the guns in the game were (except in Blood Money they could be upgraded with long slides). But the next two screencaps are definately not a Hardballer. The top one could be though. - Gunmaster45
- I dont know, but is the grip a little wide? Double stack maybe? The Winchester

- You know, I may be wrong, but I think the first image may still be his P-18. Look at the images of the P-18s above and you cans see they have irregularly large muzzle diameters, so maybe it still is a P-18. - Gunmaster45

The opening scene of the movie
Aside from the scene of a young 47 given his guns, most of the "training" segments were from Dark Angel. You can clearly see the bar codes on the necks instead of on the back of the head like 47.
Assassins Meeting Weapons
Some forgotten details... Charly Driver
Para-Ordnance Nite-Tac
Beretta 92FS with SGS Comp.
Beretta Competition Compensator on Taurus
I just wanna watch the special features!
I wanna see this "armorer" clown sound stupid as hell. It has to be a riot, or painful... BTW is he aiming with the WRONG eye in the 1911 screen? or is this some super secret technique that the masses don't know about? --Furious Oyster
It's called being left eye dominant. Just like right, and left hand dominance, there is also eye dominance. No idea how common it is to be a lefty, though from what I've gathered the great Nathan Fillion is one. As am I. [1] --Crazycrankle 18:26, 20 January 2010 (UTC)
I am left eye dominate, right handed as well... But I learned to use my right eye when shooting. Eye patches are sexy. LOL. Never seen anyone actually shoot that way before. --Furious Oyster
is any one sure this guy is a real armorer he seems like the stupidest guy to ever have picked up a gun
Honestly, I've seen stupider. I once knew a guy that thought a Beretta 92 was a Glock. And on the previous topic, I'm a left eye, right hand as well. Acora 08:13, 8 March 2010 (UTC)
- I admit that I haven't watched this special feature (my version of the DVD didn't have it, which is why John had to upload the screencaps), but why is Mr. Maratier "stupid"? He's an armorer, not a filmmaker. I doubt his involvement in the production of the special feature extended beyond his interview, and showing off the guns he sent out to the production. The addition of footage showing targets being hit by live rounds (which Maratier himself obviously did not fire) may have been a decision on the part of the director or editor, which was done without his consent or knowledge. In which case, they are the ones who are stupid, not him.
- As for his flinching, he's firing blank ammunition. Blanks are always loaded with far more powder than live rounds so that they will produce a far larger flash, which cinematographers prefer because it looks "cool" on camera. However, the downside is that it's easier to involuntarily flinch due to the light and noise, which is why you see so many actors firing "eyes closed" in movies or TV shows. Just because Maratier is an armorer doesn't mean he's immune from doing the same thing - just look at the muzzle flash of the Blaser R93 and the CAR-15 that he's firing. Can any of us say that we would never do the same thing if we were firing blanks?
- I realize that the finished feature, as we (the viewers) see it, looks kinda dumb, but we shouldn't jump to conclusions about who is at fault. For all we know, Mr. Maratier himself has seen it by this point, and is pissed off at the editors for making him look stupid without talking to him first. -MT2008 19:04, 10 March 2010 (UTC)
P18.9 varient
The P18.9 shown in the ID image is not the same gun shown in the screenshots.
I noticed no beaver-tail grip, different hammer & trigger, and slide-grips.
Anyone explain if this is just a varient, or personalised modification?
- The one that MPM photographed (for the ID image) is a newer production model, while the ones used in the movie are older models. Para Ordnance has changed the way it manufactures its 1911s on several occasions. -MT2008 14:11, 11 March 2010 (UTC)
