Revision as of 00:42, 18 June 2010
I still say Nick broke and/or disabled the firing pin on Roland's shotgun Winn
- The whole movie is stupid like that i mean why the hell would Vince Vaughn break Roland's shotgun?Oliveira 16:10, 6 May 2009 (UTC)
cos he was an activist
I agree with you but for the sake of accuracy it wasn't a shotgun. It was a double barreled rifle. Designed for hunting large dangerous game such as Elephant, Cape Buffalo and Hippos.--Jcordell 02:13, 26 May 2009 (UTC)
- You would be wrong, because after Roland's gun fails to go BANG, he pulls out the empty shells and mutters, "Bastard." because he knows Nick pulled the bullet heads. When Nick is on the helicopter leaving the island, he lets the bullet heads roll from his hand onto the floor.
I concur it is a double barreled rifle along the lines of a Holland and Holland, Purdey, Rigby, or Searcy. IMFDB entry claims it is a Searcy, anyone have any evidence to back this up? I can't see how anyone can tell which specific maker of double rifles made a specific rifle unless they have it in their hands, being as these are made to order with any accessories, sights, trigger guards, etc you want, so all normal identification features are thrown out the window. Is there some director's commentary that states it is a Seacry? I can considering changing it to 'indeterminant double rifle'
- Everything about the way he mishandled that double ticked me off. You don't leave your five thousand dollar pet lying around for some other idiot to blow his own face off with (Ever seen adults look down the barrels of a shotgun or rifle like a bloody cartoon character? I have.) or muck about with your rounds. Why was he only carrying two bullets? I know that .600 Nitro Express is hard on the bank statement - ten round wallets of 900gr .600 Nitro Express retailing for nearly $300 US - but who's seen a real hunter lugging all thirteen-to-fifteen pounds of a double around without a leather belt lined with cartridges 'round his shoulder or waist? (Said rounds tend to be slightly green with verdigris; you don't do much practising with your .600 Nitro Express when you aren't hunting.) He never breaches his gun to check that she's still loaded, a rather compulsive habit of big game hunters - the whole point of carrying that beast through the bush is that when something along the lines of an elephant or a buffalo or what have you takes exception to your predatory designs and charge, you have two extremely large rounds in rapid succession to dissuade such behavior with. Merry idiots who leave their rifles laying about camp rather than close at hand and never inspect their weapons are the sort who tend to wind up on the wrong end of a dangerous game animal.

- The rules page also has a pretty good section addressing this as well. Noting that the scene/actor wasn't done well is one thing, but there's no need to hammer on the damn guy by comparing him to a real 'professional hunter' because the actor just isn't one. Or at least, there's no need to post it in such a condescending manner on the movie's main page. StanTheMan 00:28, 18 June 2010 (UTC)
Tranq rifles
Note: The optical sight on the Lindstradt rifle is infact a Bushnell HOLO-sight. And it is mounted the right way.
Note: The tranquilizer rifles used by the hunters(Dieter Stark) are actually called Dan-Inject JM Standard. It is a real life tranquilizer gun used on animals.
Guard
The security guard in the last pic looks alot like Robert Patrick-S&Wshooter 02:35, 14 August 2009 (UTC)
- I disagree;he just looks just like a generic caucasian male to me --AdAstra2009 20:16, 3 November 2009 (UTC)
- But he does sorta look like Robert Patrick-S&Wshooter 21:58, 4 November 2009 (UTC)
SIG Sauer P226
I think this is a SIG Sauer P226, rather than a 1911 as labeled on the page.
And no, I don't think that looks like Robert Patrick either :P
- No way, barrel end and trigger guard are rounded just like a 1911. StanTheMan 23:43, 19 April 2010 (UTC)
