3000 Miles to Graceland: Difference between revisions
This page needs lots of work. It's nice we have screencaps for it now, but gun page links do NOT go in the heading, and stand-alone gun pictures are needed. Formatting is a bit too sloppy for IMFDB standards. -MT2008
Thomas Murphy (Kevin Costner) carries a pair of M1911s which he wields akimbo during the Casino heist. At one point in the movie, he looses these guns after being aressted, and later recieves a replacement from his friend Jack (Howie Long).
During one scene of the Casino Heist, a Las Vagas Police Officer attacks the Murphy and Michael's group with a SIG P226 which breifly changes to an M1911.
Gus (David Arquette) uses a Smith & Wesson Model 29 during the Casino heist. He tries to reload the weapon during the firefight, but seems to give up and uses his assault rifle instead.
Franklin (Bokeem Woodbine) uses a Beretta M93R during the Casino heist. The weapon appears to be converted to full auto, and Franklin fires it with no concern of innocent bystanders.
Just before the warehouse shoot out, Jack (Howie Long) is seen loading a Smith & Wesson Model 686. Michael (Kurt Russell) catches Jack off guard and disarms him. He holds the weapon to Jack and Murphy (Kevin Costner) until SWAT shows up and he drops the weapon.
When the group retreats to the elevator, a Las Vegas Police Officer orders the group to stop and then attacks them with a SIG P226. He shoots Franklin (Bokeem Woodbine) several times before Murphy (Kevin Costner) disarms him and shoots him in the head.
Murphy's (Kevin Costner) main weapon during the Casino heist is the italian Franchi SPAS 12 shotgun. He drops the weapon after killing several security guards and running out of ammunition.
Just before the final shoot out in the warehouse, Murphy (Kevin Costner) is given a short barreled Mossberg 500 with rear and foreward pistol grips. He uses the weapon to shoot Michael (Kurt Russell) after SWAT shows up, and breifly uses it to shoot at the SWAT team members.
Hamilton (Ice-T) uses a pair of FN P90s wielded akimbo during the warehouse shoot out. In one of the more cool looking (and kind of stupid) scenes, Hamilton rides a zip line upside down, spraying both FN P90s at the SWAT officers. He is quickly gunned down, of course, for exposing himself as such an easy target.
Some of the Casino security (or undercover LVPD) are armed with Ruger Mini-14s during the closing scenes of the Casino Heist. Two of the officers exchange fire with Murphy and Michael's group as the retreat to their get a way helicopter.
Hanson (Christian Slater) and Michael (Kurt Russell) use Colt XM177 during the the casino heist. Michael never fires his weapon at any of the security guards, instead shooting the glass above a group of persuing guards.
Michael then passes his gun to Murphy (Kevin Costner) as the group makes their escape to the helicopter.
All of them are fake XM177 rifles which seem to have been built from other AR variants. The one used by Michael has a regular XM177-style receiver, but the ones used by the other characters have both A2-style receivers and Model 715-style receivers. They're probably other AR carbine variants with chopped barrels and fake XM177 flash hiders fitted. -MT2008
During the final shoot out in the warehouse, Jack (Howie Long) uses a FN Minimi against several SWAT officers. After Jack is gunned down while trying to save Murphy (Kevin Costner), Murphy picks up the FN Minimi and uses it for his last stand.
It is a Single Action Army with the front sight philed off for faster draw. The guy playing this sheriff is a quickdraw shooter, and removing the front sights is a pro technique if you can quick draw for real. Gun has a nickel finish. - Gunmaster45
