1. If the movie is set in 1980 the Glock is anachronistic, if its set in the early 80s the Glock 17 might have been available. Didn't see the movie yet... Unless it specifically says year its tough to say one way or another. 2. Sig same deal. Could be a late first model 220, or if the movie is set after 84 could be time available as an early 226. 3. What is up with these movies being set in the 80s? There was nothing special about the 80s. I understand the book Killer Elite is based off of is set in the Early 80s, but why not update it to present day like the A team movie? [[User:Peejn8r|Peejn8r]] | 1.

:Apparently the events in the book take place over the course of 17 years. I haven't seen it yet, but the movie's been out since September and it out on video. Someone had to have seen it. --[[User:Funkychinaman|Funkychinaman]] 13:54, 12 January 2012 (CST) | |||

Just saw the movie
The second screenshot under Browning High Power Mark III is actually that of Clive Owen firing a H&K P7M13. The 1911 Robert Deniro uses is not a 1911, but some kind of .22 automatic (sorta like this: http://www.collectorsfirearms.com/admin/product_details.php?itemID=45088), but he does use what appears to be a Commander sized 1911 near the beginning. A character played by Aden Young (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0949237/) uses what looks like a 686 sized S&W revolver with a 2-3 inch barrel.-S&Wshooter 22:09, 23 September 2011 (CDT)
Anachronistic Weapons
Some of the weapons I saw being used in this movie, particularly the Glocks, are highly anachronistic since most of them do not belong in the time frame they are set in which is supposed to be in the early 1980s which is the time period 'The Feathermen', the novel on which this movie is loosely based, is set. --Charon68 20:19, 26 December 2011 (CST)
