The Coreburner was originally made for the 1995 movie "Automatic". It was used by the Mercenaries, and didn't have the scope or shoulder-stock. In the movie, the large tube under the barrel was a grenade launcher that could fire different types of grenades. The rifle had an led camcorder monitor on top, and one of the rifles had a camera in it for a scene showing the image on the monitor as it was aimed around a corner.

:That's interesting, because IMFDB's own [[User:Phoenixent|Steve Karnes]] built the Coreburner while he was the gunsmith at Ellis Mercantile, and I don't remember him saying it was made for ''[[Automatic]]''. I haven't seen ''[[Automatic]]'', so I can't comment if it's the same gun (I'll take your word for it), but if the Coreburner was used in that film, it's likely that it was used on both movies during filming in 1995, but ''[[Escape from L.A.]]'' was in post-production for a longer period, and released later. -[[User:MT2008|MT2008]] 09:37, 12 March 2011 (MSK) | :That's interesting, because IMFDB's own [[User:Phoenixent|Steve Karnes]] built the Coreburner while he was the gunsmith at Ellis Mercantile, and I don't remember him saying it was made for ''[[Automatic]]''.

Underway
I started capping this from my DVD but the source really is utterly shit. I can't believe they get away with selling this stuff.
Going to cap from a HD source later instead, consider this a 'reservation' of sorts, I guess. --Joffeloff 15:01, 21 April 2009 (UTC)
Hmm
Not sure what prompted people to assume that this was a Kongsberg but there's nothing there to say it is one as opposed to a pre-A1 1911 that I can see. --Joffeloff 00:10, 22 April 2009 (UTC)
- Since Ellis Mercantile supplied the weapons to Escape From LA and I was the gunsmith there at that time. The .45 Pistol was a blued US Army marked 1911 that was in the holster. - Phoenixent
- Good, so can we remove that Kongsberg m/1914 already? MoviePropMaster2008 04:39, 22 April 2009 (UTC)
- I just put it here for keepings in case there was something I missed. I changed the article to say 1911 already. --Joffeloff 13:04, 22 April 2009 (UTC)

Kongsberg m/1914
Seen in the pistol holster of the Surgeon-General of Beverly Hills (Bruce Campbell). Snake later takes this pistol from him after shooting him with a small blowdart.
Galil lookalike
- Would it be possible that this is an RK-62? --AdAstra2009 02:24, 2 December 2009 (UTC)
Shotgun?
Saw the movie again today and during the motorcycle scene Snake uses what appears to be an Ithaca shotgun, I noticed it isn't on the page, seems pretty hard to miss. The henchman escorting Snake to the stadium wield double barrel shotguns as well. - Diego Wolfwood
Coreburner
The Coreburner was originally made for the 1995 movie "Automatic". It was used by the Mercenaries, and didn't have the scope or shoulder-stock. In the movie, the large tube under the barrel was a grenade launcher that could fire different types of grenades. The rifle had an led camcorder monitor on top, and one of the rifles had a camera in it for a scene showing the image on the monitor as it was aimed around a corner. Krel.
- That's interesting, because IMFDB's own Steve Karnes built the Coreburner while he was the gunsmith at Ellis Mercantile, and I don't remember him saying it was made for Automatic. I haven't seen Automatic, so I can't comment if it's the same gun (I'll take your word for it), but if the Coreburner was used in that film, it's likely that it was used on both movies during filming in 1995, but Escape from L.A. was in post-production for a longer period, and released later. But as far as we know, the Coreburner was built specifically for Escape from L.A.. -MT2008 09:37, 12 March 2011 (MSK)
