::- The finish on stainless guns can be dulled out to where it isn't that shiny, and therefore, not that noticeable. Chrome on the other hand, is '''always''' very shiny. And I agree that using a shiny weapon would be somewhat counteractive, especially during a nighttime operation.

At the start of the movie, terrorists fire a DShK machine gun at a helicopter, and a soldier is seen using an FN FAL (Or L1A1) in news footage in the news room. I have this movie on DVD but have been too busy to add these caps. Eventually I'll get to it. - Gunmaster45
- no worries I just want to know what was mounted on the WWII era APC the Lebonese were useing you know the one that was blown up with a stinger. Rockwolf66 06:58, 1 July 2009 (UTC)
- It was a dual mounted M1919 Browning. I won't upload the image though because I fucked up and started adding images when MPM already had them handy. I'll let him upload them instead. - Gunmaster45
The 'Inox' Beretta 92SB
- According to background info posted on the Beretta 92 page (Specifically, on the Beretta 92FS Inox section, which I've partially repeated below), there is no such thing as an Beretta 92SB Inox. So I've edited that part to state it is simply a chrome-plated 92SB. StanTheMan 22:57, 21 May 2010 (UTC)
- The Beretta 92FS Inox was first introduced in 1990, and was the very first pistol that Beretta ever offered with the stainless Inoxidizable finish. None of Beretta's earlier 92-series pistols, including the original 92F or the 92SB, were ever offered with the Inox finish.
- The caption mentions the operator/actor would not be using a "flashy" chrome-plated gun. In actuality, stainless steel firearms were favored by SEALs because they wouldn't rust. SEAL Team Six (DevGroup) in particular used Smith & Wesson Model 66 revolvers chambered in .357 Magnum for C/T purposes.
- - The finish on stainless guns can be dulled out to where it isn't that shiny, and therefore, not that noticeable. Chrome on the other hand, is always very shiny. And I agree that using a shiny weapon would be somewhat counteractive, especially during a nighttime operation. StanTheMan 05:32, 26 June 2010 (UTC)
Random
I took these caps for random trivia and ID purposes.
So, enjoy :) - Gunmaster45
