Not a Norinco Type 84S

Fixed. Not sure how that slipped by me. I really need to stop editing after 1 in the morning. So what's the verdict; replicas or no?--PistolJunkie 02:51, 30 October 2010 (UTC)

Where does Inui keep his spare MG42 barrel?

I think at least some mention should be made as to the fact that Inui keeps his alternate MG42 barrel on the top of his ammunition backpack. It's most easily seen when the PSF contact he meets in the abandoned hotel places the alternate barrel on top of his ammunition backpack, but in other scenes it's difficult to pick out amongst the black colour of Inui's Protect Gear. The original creator should post up a screenshot of that particular scene so as to show the the location of the spare MG42 barrel. I am, however, surprised that the spare barrel (or the MG42 itself) wasn't damaged at the time when the PSF "mimes with machine guns" open up on Inui after catching him unawares on a staircase.

This series could use a modern reincarnation, if only to reassert itself as the original creator of the Protect Gear which Killzone so obviously cribbed. --Mazryonh 18:37, 2 September 2011 (CDT)

I made mention of the fact that the backpack houses a spare barrel (as well as showed Inui changing the barrel out), but there's no reason to add another screenshot showing the exact location of said barrel when there are already 11 images for the MG42 (and you can already see it in the eighth image). As for a "modern incarnation", Jin-Roh is only 11 years old, and people who don't already realize that Killzone ripped of Oshii's design would just respond by saying that the new movie was copying Killzone.--PistolJunkie 22:19, 2 September 2011 (CDT)

Actually, that screenshot only has one end of the barrel visible. I recommended the "suiting up" moment because it's one of the few moments that both ends of the spare barrel are visible, especially against the white walls of that room (otherwise at least one end just blends in against the dark background of Inui's armour or the hotel's darker walls. Still, perhaps a sentence added to the caption of the eighth screenshot to the tune of "the rear end of the spare MG42 barrel can be seen on Inui's backpack here" would suffice.

Still, another live-action entry in the Kerberos Saga would be nice, though again it should probably not be directed by Oshii (otherwise he adds some really strange stuff), which turns off most viewers (as evidenced in this video review of Stray Dog). I'd like to see another "special forces flick" where the special forces are police rather than military, although of course the Capital Police don't really arrest people so much as eradicate the terrorists with extreme force. Even so, the Kerberos Saga deserves another chance at the fame Ghost in the Shell achieved. It could be cool--to the tune of "1200 rounds a minute" cool.--Mazryonh 15:27, 5 September 2011 (CDT)
