Miami Vice (2006): Difference between revisions
The picture on the left is an OA93 while the picture on the right is someone who is most likely using a K23. The biggest noticeable difference is that the K23 has a buffer tube on the end, in the OA93, the charging handle and recoil buffer are both integrated into a flat top upper receiver eliminating the need for a buttstock or a buffer tube
:It's not a K23; otherwise, it would have a regular triangular AR front sight, which it clearly doesn't in this movie. If you read our OA-93 page, MoviePropMaster explains that many of the OA-93s seen in Hollywood films have had buffer tubes installed by the armorers because it's necessary in order to make them function reliably with blanks. -[[User:MT2008|MT2008]] 18:30, 3 December 2008 (UTC)
From what I can see, it is a K23, yes the OA-93 has been modified by armorers so that they have the ability to fire blanks, but this is not one of those conversions.
First, the gas return system uses a standard gas tube connected by a low profile gas block, which is why there is no standard front sight post. On a OA-93 there should be a return tube located above the handguard leading back to the upper receiver.
Second, the charging handle on a regular OA-93 is a side charging handle raised above the upper receiver, the charging handle on this weapon is a standard charging handle located within the upper receiver.
I'm not new to AR-15s, try consulting with others who may know more before dismissing other peoples opinions.
:First of all, I don't like your tone. There is no need for such hostility, and furthermore, the evidence you cited originally to prove it's a K23 was vague enough that I felt compelled to point out something you might not have known. Second, every K23 I have seen - either the LEO full-auto carbine or the more recent civilian pistol versions - had a regular AR front sight post. The gun in this movie does not, so unless it was specially modified, I just don't see how it's a a K23. You are right that it does have a regular AR charging handle, which the OA-93 doesn't have. Third, looking closely, I realize I failed to notice that the receiver of the gun seems to have no forward assist or brass deflector - characteristic of both the OA-93 and K23. I now suspect it may be a Rocky Mountain Arms Patriot Pistol instead.
Another weapon that Tubbs (Jamie Foxx) uses is a Heckler & Koch HK69A1 Grenade Launcher which he uses to the blow the lock off a door at the drug warehouse, and to blow a gaping hole in Yero's (John Ortiz) chest at the end of the fiim.
Ricardo Tubbs (Jamie Foxx) wields a Sig Sauer P220 Carry handgun (A compact version of the Sig Sauer P220) as his sidearm. He most notably uses it during the standoff at the trailer park.
Detective Sonny Crockett (Colin Farrell) can also be fleetingly seen in the extras DVD, carrying an ASP 2000 custom combat 9mm in an Fobus ankle holster. Colin Farrell is also seen placing the ASP in a Fobus paddle holster in a couple of training videos released online in early 2006.
A Remington 870 can be seen in the market place as Yero's man moves through the crowd with the flash drive. When Tubbs (Jamie Foxx) and Crockett (Colin Farrell) raid the drug warehouse, one of the men inside attempts to grab a Remington 870 Police Combat Magnum with Folding Stock off a table before being stopped by the two detectives.
After the raid on the trailer park, Castillo (Barry Shabaka Henley) can be seen holding an M4A1 carbine Carbine with an M68 Aimpoint scope and a Surefire M500AB tactical flashlight.
Yero's (John Ortiz) henchmen use Barret M82 sniper rifles twice in the film, first to kill two FBI Agents in a car in the beginning of the film, and just before the final firefight, but this time they are killed by Castillo's (Barry Shabaka Henley) snipers before the powerful weapons can be used to kill anyone. The impacts to the interior of the FBI car are real; they were produced with live .50 BMG fire, with actors and FX added in post-production, according to Michael Mann's DVD commentary.
During the final firefight, several of Yero's (John Ortiz) henchmen use HK91A2 assault rifles.
These cannot be HK91s if they're fired on full-auto. Well, OK, they might be HK91s converted to mil-spec G3s (like a lot of the Hollywood H&K guns), but then we should still call them G3s.
After the final firefight, while Crockett (Colin Farrell) is restraining Isabella (Li Gong) after she finds out that he's a cop, she can be seen holding a S&W Model 99. Basically a Smith and Wesson version of the Walther P99.
At one point in the film, one of Castillo's men can be seen with a Savage 10FP with a Choate Super Sniper Stock, fitted with a folding bipod.

Yero (John Ortiz) for the first time, Crockett threatens the drug runners with an M67 hand grenade which causes Yero's cronies to pull their guns out on him.
