Revision as of 19:06, 9 December 2008
The weapons used in this movie are:
Adler-Jager AP-74
- Used by all SWAT members, in particular, the characters of Peter (Ken Foree) and Roger (Scott H. Reiniger) but eventually discarded after raiding the gun store. In one shot, when Peter is unloading his weapon after shooting the zombie kids, we can see the tiny .22lr magazine. The Adler-Jager AP-74 is an inexpensive .22 AR15 clone (that was actually pretty close to an SP1 and much better looking than the .22 M16 clone made by Armscor). The guns were pretty much 'mime' fired, with only the sound effect and blood squibs to indicate that the rifle was fired.
The Armorers for the movie was an East Coast outfit called "The Plastics Factory", however other information on them are unavailable.
