Talk:Apocalypse Now
I added the Ma Deuce as the Patrol boats carry two in the forward turret.
- Although I say this often, eventually I'll try to grab this cheap somewhere or rent it, I remember a lot of Vietnam era weaponry in heavy use. Good movie really, but a little more bizzare than your typical war flick. - Gunmaster45
- Aw, i want to screen cap this.-Oliveira 14:16, 21 April 2009 (UTC)
- Predator20 is taking up the task under my guidance. - Gunmaster45

- I won't have to touch up this page, won't I?-Oliveira 23:39, 27 July 2009 (UTC)
- What is he doing? One gun at a time? -The Winchester
- I'm doing one set of guns at a time. It's my first page I'm putting up by myself. The M16 will probably go last, too many to choose from. GM45, I'll do the text once all the images are loaded. Or you can write them as I load them.Predator20
- Oh okay, I hadn't checked this yet. I'll wait until you're done. - Gunmaster45
The AK's
Those shots are the best ones I have. Are any of them any good to make a positive identification? Predator20
- Done. You can tell by the front sights among other things that they are Norinco Type 56s. - Gunmaster45
- How does the rest of the page look to you? - Predator20
- I'm happy with it, it looks professional and completed. After being bugged about it several times, I disciplined myself to limit 8 screencaps per gun, but the 10 you put in some sections doesn't really seem too cumbersome. Good work, your first page is complete! I'll make the Year of the Dragon page so you can get started on that. - Gunmaster45
- Thanks, I really happy with the way it turned out. Wasn't as hard as I thought it would be. I think since the scenery changes on the M16 pics it makes it not so cumbersome. The only thing that bugs me is the M16 list, there are too many of the same actor. I got some shots of Lance (Sam Bottoms) and Chief (Albert Hall) with M16's but the shots weren't good enough for the page. So I'm going to go back and see if I can get some better ones. I'll take a few of Willard's out. -Predator20~

- You missed the Original M16s though.-Oliveira 13:46, 29 July 2009 (UTC)
- Oliveira, you're more than welcome to add any gun pics that need be to added or replace some of mine with better ones. Or you can tell me what scene has the original M16's and I'll see what I can do.-Predator20
- The Hairy village scene. Kilgore mans a M16 in that one.-Oliveira 16:11, 29 July 2009 (UTC)
- Oliveira, This is the only scene I got of Kilgore with an M16.-Predator20

- That's definately an M16 (SP1), you can see it doesn't have a forward assist ("slab-side"), so this would obviously go under a different category than the M16A1. BTW, I changed the M16 pics and added and removed one image, since the shot of Willard in the jungle wasn't as good as the shot of Willard giving up his M16A1. - Gunmaster45
- I added two images. There is never any good shots of him with it though.- Predator20
- I filled in the description and added an image to save you the trouble. The reason we call them M16 (SP1)'s is because they could either be military issue M16's fitted with A1 flashhiders or civilian issue AR-15 SP1's converted to full auto, depending on what the armorer had handy. - Gunmaster45
- It looks like Kilgore's M16 has an SP1-style upper (no forward assist), but an A1 lower (there seems to be fencing around the magazine release). It's another Franken-gun. -MT2008

MGC M16
After watching the movie again, in the scene where the PBR gets attacked right after Lance pops out a purple haze, there is a close up of two MGC M16s.--Oliveira 17:18, 26 September 2009 (UTC)
- I think I know the scene you're talking about, they get shot up. Which makes sense to use replicas. I don't have a snap of them. I'll take one. I also found a better shot of Willard with his M16A1 when he meets the colonist, in my Apocalypse Now folder. -Predator20 17:44, 26 September 2009 (UTC)
