I can't seem to find an image of this model anywhere online except for a Get Smart fansite. At least two gun were used in the film. --Funkychinaman (talk) 03:31, 26 January 2013 (EST)
T26 Tanker Garand Rifle
The rifle seen in the Mike Force assault is a T26 Tanker Garand Rifle. I have seen them in the inventory with the flash hider removed and two holes drilled in the bottom of the trigger housing to mount a dummy magazine. It was the armories way of having a weapon look like an M14 at that time. --phoenixent 17:37, 10 August 2010 (UTC)
- Well, sure looks like a BM-59 to me, but you know what you're talking about so I'll bow to your knowledge on that one. - Nyles
- Actually I have heard of something like that when it came to the movie adaptation if "A Rumor of War" by Phillip Caputo. If I remember correctly due to the controversial nature of the movie the producers were unable to acquire the M-14s they needed for the movie so some M-1 Garands (possibly the "Tanker" version were used in their place. It is noticeable in scenes where they are loading their weapons that they are not real M-14s but modified M-1s (of some sort). --Charon68 21:54, 10 August 2010 (UTC)
Unknown Pistol
Sorry but that is not a Makarov> Am not sure what it is but not that. --Charon68 01:31, 27 September 2010 (UTC)
I don't think it's a Colt 1903 Hammerless either - due to the grips extending all the way up the frame to the slide. My first thought was a MAB Model D but there are features which would seem to rule that out as well (position of safety catch, depth of frame in front of trigger guard). IKD
- I think that the unknown pistol in the green berets movie is a Browning Hi-Power because of the frame and slide of the pistol reminds me of a Browning Hi-Power. BNat93
Another weapon on the board is a semi-automatic pistol (probably SACM M1935A).
