: I don't think it's a different launcher - It certainly appears to be one of those RPG-7 mockups. As for the covering, it seems to cover the spot where the actual rear sight apparatus would be. Why I'm not too sure, but I do have a theory - I understand the rear sights were part of the launcher mockup, and might have been damaged. It may have been undesirable/unnecessary to repair it so perhaps the hump was a production/set expedient to cover it up.

Revision as of 01:36, 8 January 2015
MP5K/SP89
- It's actually an MP5K, note the SEF trigger group (which can be added to SP89s, but is a pain), the paddle magazine release, the push-pin lower receiver. - Gunmaster45
- Just a note, all of the SP89s converted to auto fire in Cinema Weaponry's inventory all had the SEF lowers installed after the fact by Mike Papac, so now they can't be distinguished from the early SP89 conversions. I have the only un-upgraded SP89 conversion left :) Back to the movie, note that the paddle release is missing, heavily implying that it is a 99% converted SP89.

- I have to disagree with you, I can see paddle magazine releases in the images, and you can see the guns have push pin lower receivers. Maybe if they went the extra mile and added the fake paddle magazine releases they could be SP89s, but I think they are actual MP5Ks. - Gunmaster45

I'd have to agree with Gunmaster45. If you look in the cap below, the gun Ramada is holding looks like it has a paddle mag release. --Funkychinaman (talk) 23:30, 10 October 2012 (EDT)

What do you think the hump on the launcher is covering? Is this a different launcher? --Ben41 (talk)
- I don't think it's a different launcher - It certainly appears to be one of those RPG-7 mockups. As for the covering, it seems to cover the spot where the actual rear sight apparatus would be. Why I'm not too sure, but I do have a theory - I understand the rear sights were also mocked up as part of the launcher mockup, and might have been damaged. It may have been undesirable/unnecessary to repair it so perhaps the hump was a production/set expedient to cover it up. StanTheMan (talk) 13:00, 7 January 2015 (EST)
