Anyway, that comment was made some time back, though I didn't think much of it at the time. I guess I was kinda hoping it was still an actual LAR pistol - Not to take away from the Detonics but the LAR Grizzly is slightly neat-looking yet obscure piece and thus fit in RoboCop pretty well I thought.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't the p226 a double action pistol with no external safety? And isn't it almost SOP for cops to have a round chambered at all times. So if Murphy spins the gun on his finger like it's a revolver, wouldn't there be a risk of him pulling the trigger by accident? [[User:Excalibur01|Excalibur01]] 00:24, 27 January 2011 (UTC) | |||

Grenade
Clarence use a time-grenade to kill that OCP worker in his aparment (remember that he was with a lot of coke and a couple of girls), Clarence first shot the guy repeatedly with his supressed Dester Eagle, anyone know what tipe of grenade was????, that kind of bomb really exists?????
I was listening to the audio commentary and they were talking about the grenade and one of the guys was talking about it being built on some old Japanese grenades, he also mentioned that he moved house and forgot about a box of the grenades that were deactivated that had the LAPD bomb squad out when the new owner of the house found them. --cool-breeze 22:52, 9 January 2011 (UTC)
Bullet holes
I just watched this again and i noticed that near the end when Clarence is shooting at Lewis he hits her windshield with one shot yet it makes 5 or six holes in it. Any ideas?
Robocop's auto-9 also seems to do this when he shoots a windshield, but at least his firearm shoots in bursts so at least there is a bit of an excuse
Was he using a shotgun at that point (been awhile since I saw this)? If so it'd be the effect of the buckshot.
No, at this point of the film he was using his desert eagle
- The Desert Eagle impact (And yes, he was shooting a Deagle) is a mistake in the film. I noticed it a long time ago. Though I have to note that I can't really recall ever seeing the Auto-9 shoot at a windshield in the movie though. StanTheMan 21:30, 19 July 2010 (UTC)
The LAR Grizzly
From the Main Page - -possible correction needed- Based on the pictures showing none of the thickness increases used to reinforce the basic 1911 slide design that the Grizzy has I suggest it's just a extended barrel "normal" 1911 type pistol. A Detonics Scoremaster possibly.
I think the fellow makes a point - The images all show a 1911-looking pistol that doesn't have the thickened slide and squared-off trigger guard of a LAR Grizzly. Some additional pics might be needed but perhaps this is one that should be investigated/corrected. StanTheMan 00:19, 31 August 2010 (UTC)
- I think it's a Detonics Scoremaster too. The custom MAC-10 that Emil uses was also used in Miami Vice. The Detonics Scoremaster was pretty frequent in Miami Vice also.--Predator20 00:52, 31 August 2010 (UTC)
Ah, good point, Pred. The two look awfully similar and as the custom MAC was used from MV it makes sense I suppose. I wasn't sure if more pics were needed, but it's kinda obvious with the first RC pic (rounded trigger guard) and last RC pic (Standard thickness slide). Kinda neat that some Miami Vice guns were re-used in RoboCop.
Anyway, that comment was made some time back, though I didn't think much of it at the time. I guess I was kinda hoping it was still an actual LAR pistol - Not to take away from the Detonics but the LAR Grizzly is slightly neat-looking yet obscure piece and thus fit in RoboCop pretty well I thought.

Twirling the Sig P226
