::SO far it looks like they are going more for the aesthetic of the 1995 movie, where there were no Seburo guns. Closest thing in that is the CZN-M22, which has a much more realistic look than Seburo guns tend to have. --[[User:Commando552|commando552]] ([[User talk:Commando552|talk]]) 03:59, 17 November 2016 (EST)

I really didn't like the "Skinny Man's" Uzi in this movie since in the original 1995 movie, it was drawn as an unmodified Uzi. The attention to weapon details on any of the anime series were really good, even brass checking weapons.

Revision as of 16:33, 17 November 2016
Name
I think for this movie, we should just call the Major just "The Major" since behind the scene and on IMDB, they've eliminated the Japanese name of the character. Excalibur01 (talk) 17:45, 15 November 2016 (EST)
Mamoru Oshii does refer to her as "Motoko" in this video, but earlier they use a nameplate that just says "The Major", so I dunno. I just did what we usually do with superhero names.--Quarax (talk) 23:20, 15 November 2016 (EST)
That pistol that johansson racks in the trailer, is it some kinda glock mockup?--AnActualAK47 (talk) 13:52, 15 November 2016 (EST)
Yep. There's a few more fictional guns based on real firearms too.--Quarax (talk) 15:43, 15 November 2016 (EST)
Please help ID
Please help ID these weapons. --Ben41 (talk) 16:56, 15 November 2016 (EST)
This one's hard to ID. Maybe they're TDI Vectors, but the barrels look a little high (that could just be the angle, though).--Quarax (talk) 23:22, 15 November 2016 (EST)
Batou's shotgun is a Crye Precision Six12, and the gun in the orange shell in the last cap is another Mini Uzi. I only know this as there are some photos of various props floating around from the press event in Tokyo:Error creating thumbnail: File missing
It also looks like the pistol used by the guy in the mask is the "Hanka Pistol" listed above. I don't think this is a real gun though, if nothing else the way the stock is attached (which his a real stock for a Glock made by FAB Defence) means it couldn't accept a magazine. Or maybe it is soemthing real like a GLock that is totally hidden inside a shell. --commando552 (talk) 17:21, 15 November 2016 (EST)
Weapon Designs
Is anyone else sort of disappointed with the weapons shown so far? I know this is just a trailer, but the utter lack of anything resembling a Seburo firearm (like the M5) is just offputting for a GiTS movie. The weapon mockups we've seen so far just seem sort of lazy, like the extra blocky Tavor and the see through Glock. I do like the inclusion of the Crye Six12 though, I've always thought that was a pretty cyberpunk looking gun. --Aidoru (talk) 01:11, 17 November 2016 (EST)
IMO, unless the armorers/weapon manufacturers can get to make a working one done, that's kinda moot. Ominae (talk) 01:59, 17 November 2016 (EST)
