My question is why would a beat cop have an automatic weapon in his patrol vehicle? I have heard and seen (even here in Canada) cops with Colt LE carbines in their vehicle which is semi-auto only but this? --[[User:Charon68|Charon68]] ([[User talk:Charon68|talk]]) 08:39, 28 January 2017 (EST) | My question is why would a beat cop have an automatic weapon in his patrol vehicle?

:I haven't seen the film, but is the gun actually shown being fired in automatic? If not, bear in mind that Colt make the LE6933 which is a semi-only variant of the 933 for LE use. Generally speaking the majority of Colt rifles have a LE/civillian version that is semi-only, we just list them as the military variant (e.g. Model 933, M4A1, M16A4) as there is no way to tell the difference most of the time, they more often than not are intended to portray the military variant, and in a lot of cases the guns will actually be a civilian variant fitted with a full auto lower from a different gun making them indistinguishable from a real full0auto variant. --[[User:Commando552|commando552]] ([[User talk:Commando552|talk]]) 10:30, 28 January 2017 (EST) | :I haven't seen the film, but is the gun actually shown being fired in automatic?

::Definitely full-auto. At one point the officer who fires the weapon refers to it as "the machinegun" before grabbing it and going rock and roll with the thing. --[[User:Charon68|Charon68]] ([[User talk:Charon68|talk]]) 19:55, 29 January 2017 (EST) | |||

ARs
I haven't seen this yet so am only going by the screenshots, but all of the "LE Carbines" appear to actually have M4 length barrels. Also, I think that the carbines carried by the FBI SWAT might actually be HK416s. --commando552 (talk) 06:10, 14 January 2017 (EST)
Colt 933
My question is why would a beat cop have an automatic weapon in his patrol vehicle? I have heard and seen (even here in Canada) cops with Colt LE carbines in their vehicle which is semi-auto only but this? --Charon68 (talk) 08:39, 28 January 2017 (EST)
- I haven't seen the film, but is the gun actually shown being fired in automatic? If not, bear in mind that Colt make the LE6933 which is a semi-only variant of the 933 for LE use. Generally speaking the majority of Colt rifles have a LE/civillian version that is semi-only, we just list them as the military variant (e.g. Model 933, M4A1, M16A4) as there is no way to tell the difference most of the time, they more often than not are intended to portray the military variant, and in a lot of cases the guns will actually be a civilian variant fitted with a full auto lower from a different gun making them indistinguishable from a real full0auto variant. --commando552 (talk) 10:30, 28 January 2017 (EST)
