The machine gun that Hob uses is not a Browning M1919, but a Browning M2 with a ported casing for better cooling. So it looks a little bit like a M1919. It can be clearly identified by the big .50 caliber rounds in the belt. The M1919 uses the .30-06 Springfield which is much smaller cartridge. --Hob 00:45, 6 April 2009 (UTC)
Gun Store - Rocket Launcher
What happened to the bit on that unidentified rocket launcher used to blowup Robocop's Police Car when he responded to the Gun Store Robbery?
I think it is something worth discussing.
If I remember correctly, It appeared to be in a Dark Green, not 'Army' Green. It has a rather obvious Red Warhead in the Tube, and It was held with two hands on both grips.
Pauza 'Cobra Cannon'
(Moved from Main Page)
- Something happened with those shots there. Plus, I've always assumed the Pauza to be a upgraded Cobra Assault Cannon, given that we see it fire explosive rounds (albeit less powerful than the Barrett version's) when RoboCop confronts Cain/RoboCop 2. That's just me, though... --Clutch 04:13, 24 March 2009 (UTC)
- I think that's just the movie exaggerating their power. I dunno if it's supposed to be the Cobra Assault Cannon or not. Maybe it's mentioned in the movie's script. But I would think that if it were supposed to be a Cobra, it wouldn't be seen in a display case with "Pauza Specialties" written over it, which is an obvious advertising plug for the manufacturer. -MT2008
- -- This has been discussed and stated on the RoboCop Archive. An excerpt of the script of a deleted scene confirms that the Pauza that RoboCop uses at the end of the movie is meant to represent a Cobra Assault Cannon. Why the Pauza is used instead of the Barrett M82 shown in the previous film is not entirely known. As for the the gun being in the 'Pauza Specialties' case at the gun store at the beginning of the film, you're right - sheer product plugging. StanTheMan
M16A2
If the weapons were fired on full Auto, then they were not A2.s The M16A2 and A4 have three fire positions: Safe, Semi and Burst. the M16A1 and A3's however have Safe, Semi and Full Auto. Judging by the heat sheild on this weapon, it was an A3. Also, all M16's have the same flash suppressors on them, from the original to the A4.
- From the M16A2 section "In contrast to the real world M16A2 rifle adopted by the U.S. Military in the early 1980s, most of the A2s seen in movies are A2 'kits' built on A1 full auto lower receivers (or converted A2 style receivers)." --Predator20 02:30, 8 September 2010 (UTC)
- To add to Pred's comment -
In the real world, the fully automatic version of the M16A2 is known as the M16A3, however, because nearly all movie "M16A2s" fire full automatic, it is not IMFDB policy to designate these rifles as "M16A3s" when identifying them in movies, since in nearly all cases they are intended to pass for M16A2s.
