Incomplete Tag
To clarify, I added the "Incomplete" tag due to the M16/M203 combo being listed, but not having screenshots. That should be all that's needed to complete the page.--PistolJunkie 23:54, 9 February 2011 (UTC)

Unknown Pistol (Possibly Beretta or Taurus?)
There's one scene where Frank Lucas prepares to confront Detective Trupo by loading and pocketing what appears to be either a Beretta or Taurus automatic, but the shots are too blurry/not at the right angles to tell for sure. Since both the Beretta 92F and Taurus PT92 were first produced in 1983 and the film takes place around 13 years earlier, either of these guns would be anachronisms. One could argue it was an older Pre-F Beretta 92, but even the earliest model, the original Beretta 92, was first produced between 1975 and 1976 in limited numbers, still around 3 or 4 years before the time period of the film.
