:I'm really not sure that we should have separate entries for "AR-15 A2" and "M16A2". Since this is a movie (and since props get reused between scenes, typically), it seems likely that the AR-15s in the gun store are the same M16A2s used by the SWAT officers later. It wouldn't make sense for the armorer to bring two different types of guns that look identical to the set, just for the sake of accuracy (when the audience can't tell the difference). -[[User:MT2008|MT2008]] 01:00, 2 June 2010 (UTC) | :I'm really not sure that we should have separate entries for "AR-15 A2" and "M16A2".

All throughout the 90s Californians could by ANY pre-ban AR-15 as long as it was not banned by the Roberti-Roos AW ban of 1989. This was BEFORE the 1999 ban, which was ONE of the reasons why Gov.

Revision as of 02:30, 2 June 2010
Is it just me or does the muzzle of McGregor's revolver look too big to be a .357 Magnum? (Ballistics Expert2)
In the film, the AR-15 the 20" heavy barrel, but real his gun look like use 16" barrel and in fact may be a Bushmaster Dissipator
Shotgun Comment
(Moved from main page)
Seems the M37 with stock and the M870 below are very similiar seen in this angle, so may be they are both the same type/same one used? - note by teslashark
- If you take a close look at the film image under 870, you'll notice the pump grip matches that of a standard 870, and not an Ithaca. StanTheMan 03:12, 17 April 2010 (UTC)
AR-15s
Did anyone else notice that the AR-15 rifles acquired from the gun shop had bayonet lugs? The NHS happened in 1997, three years into the "assault weapons" ban, which banned the sale of new firearms with, amongst other things, bayonet lugs. And this was California of all places.
