Revision as of 19:44, 13 February 2015
Mauser?!
In the middle of screencapping the trailer and I can't quite identify this, looks like a heavily dressed up Mauser, but I can't be sure, any suggestions?
--RedRobinAlpha (talk) 15:19, 13 February 2015 (GMT)
- When I saw the trailer, I assumed it was the famous U.N.C.L.E carbine, based on the P38. (You know, Megatron.) --Funkychinaman (talk) 10:31, 13 February 2015 (EST)
- And please crop the black bars from all screencaps and reupload. Thanks. --Funkychinaman (talk) 10:32, 13 February 2015 (EST)
Yeah, it seems obvious now, lol, thanks for the help, and I've gone ahead and altered the screencaps --RedRobinAlpha (talk) 15:51, 13 February 2015 (GMT)
- OK, a few things. I don't think it's a sure thing that the movie carbine is built around the P38. Looking closely at the pistol it looks nothing like a P38, but more like a Mauser as you originally stated. Notice how Illya appears to be bracing his hand on something well forward of the trigger, which to me looks like the box magazine of a Mauser. There is some discussion at Man from Uncle Gun Facebook page as to the identity of the base weapon, and one poster notes that it's probably not a P38 as there is no safety catch on the slide. This poster also says he is trying to contact Guy Ritchie's "people" to confirm what pistol was used for the carbine...we'll see if he gets a response.
- Also the Walther is an MPK, the barrel is too short to be an MPL. Illya appears to be using a Makarov, a standard version in the car at the beginning of the trailer, and a suppressed version on the movie poster. Looking at some behind the scenes photos that were taken when this was being filmed, I believe the guns on the patrol boat are FN MAGS.
- Since I found out this movie was in the works I've been trying to find out what firearms would be used. Unfortunately, most unofficial photos that I found of the production are so blurry positive identification is impossible. The only guns that I'm 100% sure about, which don't appear in the trailer, are Sterling smg's, used by UNCLE commandos. I also saw some kind of battle rifles held by some extras, either FAL or G3; and what appears to be a SIG P210 used by a henchman, but again, the photo quality was too poor to be sure.

- I'll leave the Uncle custom as it is for now until we get a better look at it, but I'll change the MPL to a K as I've had a closer look and I agree. I haven't seen the low quality pictures you have, care to share them? I also noticed what looked like a Makarov on the seat of the car but it was a very brief glimpse and didn't really think it was enough to properly identify it, but if you feel comfortable adding it then feel free too.

- Here's some of the photo's I've found:
- This looks like a SIG P210
- Guy on extreme left and Guy in center appear to have FAL or G3 battle rifles. You will probably have to zoom into photo to see these.
- This appears to be FN MAG mounted on patrol boat. Again, you will have to zoom on photo.
- You can see from the quality of the photos why positive IDs are impossible. There are photos of the UNCLE commandos with Sterlings at a site named LaneyBoggs2001.tumbler.com, but I don't have time to find them now. I agree with about the M1 Garand. There is also an M2 .50 cal mounted on the M41 tank.--Phillb36 (talk) 14:44, 13 February 2015 (EST)
