Irresponsible filmmaking?
I must admit I have not seen this film, but it is a very disturbing subject matter for filmmaking, even if the plot is 'fiction'. As a film goer and GUN OWNER (as well as armorer) 'fictional' stories such as this create 'myths' that eventually the general public accept as truth. In the context of the 'fictional plot' they can use ANY weapon they like, but in the real world, I shudder when I see 'assault weapons' in the hands of "re-imagined" Columbine Killers. The weapons actually used by the real world killers is known (Mossberg shotgun, Hi point Carbine, AB-10 pistols, etc) but I get uneasy when filmmakers present such a delicate subject matter with literary license. Misinformation can easily lead to more anti gun hysteria. Just my opinion of course, MoviePropMaster2008 (talk)
Unidentified shotgun
Alex also uses a shotgun of some kind but I don't know what it is because I'm not really a gun nut. Anybody want to watch the film and put it up? I must warn you though, it's a much slower film than what you're probably used to.

- The YouTube videos I watched don't show it very clearly, but it looks like a Mossberg 500 Cruiser. -MT2008 14:03, 23 April 2010 (UTC)
Need ID
Unidentified Rifle
Throughout the film, Alex carries an unidentified rifle.
- Fairly sure it is a Bushmaster, I think the Bushmaster Carbon 15 R21:--commando552 (talk) 18:33, 2 March 2013 (EST)
Colt Model 1903 Hammerless
Looks more like a Remington Model 51, but not shure. --Thejoker (talk) 16:23, 3 March 2013 (EST)
