Well a couple things to add in addition to what Jackbel mentioned. It says Cal .45 on the slide, so that would make it a model P, if it is a Star at all. In addition the dev company's name is Rock*star* games, so they probably used the last half "Star" as a generic name and/ or a nod to themselves.-[[User:Ranger01|Ranger01]] 22:09, 28 January 2011 (UTC) | Well a couple things to add in addition to what Jackbel mentioned.

::Ah! I didn't even think of that. However, you can just see the Star emblem behind the word "STAR" on the slide in that picture. [[User:MiPod|MiPod]] 00:04, 29 January 2011 (UTC) | |||

Facial Expressions
I've got to say, the facial expressions I've seen for this game are amazingly realistic. I hear you have to do a lot of interrogations and that facial emotions are a big part. --FirearmsNewbie 05:18, 17 December 2010 (UTC)
Star Model B
As seen in this screenshot, the weapon that the protagonist uses is a Star Model B, not a Colt M1911. Presumably the weapon designers got access to a movie armory, and subsequently mapped the trademarks off a Star (preferred by movie armorers due to its reliability when cycling 9mm blanks) rather than a Colt.

- "preferred by movie armorers due to its reliability when cycling 9mm blanks rather than a Colt." That might have been the case.. in the 70s. Since the mid 80s a better .45 acp blank was developed for use with pistols such as the 1911, prior to this .45 acp blanks were made from cut down .30-06 cases that had hard rifle primers. Other than Pulp Fiction which is old now anyways, do you ever see a Star Model B in a new film? It is cool that they went with the Star rather than the standard Colt 1911. --Predator20 21:54, 28 January 2011 (UTC)
- It doesn't have an external extractor, so I think that the game designers chose the name Star for the in-game gun so that they wouldn't have to pay Colt for naming rights, but I don't think that they are aware of the Star Model B. But thats just what I think --Jackbel 21:58, 28 January 2011 (UTC)
