20 year old Spartan?

So in the context of this film (which I have not seen), a gun is 20 years old, thus it's considered surprising that it fires? WTF? A gun is not like a perishable fruit or something like that. Also the Spartan was made by Baikal for Remington, thus it can't be 20 years old. 20 years ago, there was still a Soviet Union and Baikal is a Russian manufacturer. I just found this statement funny... MoviePropMaster2008

I wouldn't go and shoot a gun that had been sitting around unfired and without maintenance for a couple years.-S&Wshooter 04:00, 27 May 2009 (UTC)

There are tons of weapons throughout households in the United States, which are oiled, put away in a safe for years that are just fine. What maintenance do you need? It's not like it's a CAR you drove 100K miles. I sure wouldn't hesitate to use a gun that was 20 years old if it looked okay. Like I said before, it's not like guns are perishable items like fruit. And yes, I own hundreds of guns that I have not fired in at least 20 years. There is nothing wrong with them.  :) MoviePropMaster2008 09:30, 27 May 2009 (UTC)
