I'm pretty sure that this thing isn't a Goncz:[[File:TickerSMG 1.JPG|thumb|500px|none|]]The receiver is the wrong shape, the grip/magazine is vertical, and the barrel shroud is different. I think that it might be a Cobra semi-automatic carbine / submachine gun, a Rhodesian design from the 70s originally designed for farmers to protect their property:[[File:Cobra LDP.jpg|thumb|400px|none|Cobra semi-automatic carbine - 9x19mm]]This might seem like a weird gun to appear, but if the comment above about this scene being stock footage from ''Sweepers'' is correct then this makes perfect sense.

The screenshot shows an M3A1, but the picture is an M3. Do we have a picture of an M3A1? --Funkychinaman 02:03, 25 March 2010 (UTC)
Stock footage
If I recall correctly, isn't there an awful lot of stock footage in this movie? IMDB says that the entire FBI shootout from the beginning is actually taken from the Dolph Lundgren movie Sweepers. I'm pretty sure there's a lot of other stuff in this movie that's also stock footage. -MT2008 19:19, 26 March 2010 (UTC)
Remington/Franchi
I'm pretty sure that the Remington with folding stock that is carried by the SFPD officer is actually a Franchi PA8?
Claridge Hi-Tec/Goncz GA?
I'm pretty sure that this thing isn't a Goncz:
