Questionable Guns

Im wondering how in the hell you could identify some of these holstered guns. The Colt Python I could see. But the Beretta? The Smith & Wesson 4506? The Bersa Thunder 380? How are these being identified? It is beyond me how someone could make such assumptions (unless you contacted the film's armorer), so please explain! -Gunman69 05:52, 26 July 2009 (UTC)

The Beretta and S&W 4506 I'm confident on based on what I can see about their size, grip shape, ect. The Bersa .380 I'm iffy about, but something in my head said it was a Bersa, so I went with it. - Gunmaster45

"nickel plated sissy gun"

I think it's funny that he refers the .45 Taurus as a sissy gun. That gun is a beast, man. A true .45 manstopper. Just not quite as tactical as a Glock, but that certainly doesn't make it a sissy gun. The movie armorer should have picked a different gun to be the sissy gun.

Like a nickel plated .32 w/ pearl grips or something-S&Wshooter 23:27, 5 December 2009 (UTC)

I suspect that by calling it a 'sissy pistol' he meant Royce was compensating for something, but I agree, all the same. --MattyDienhoff 00:04, 6 December 2009 (UTC)

he could be calling the gun "sissy" not the round

I had assumed he called it sissy because its flashy and unprofessional.

true you don't see many silver finishes with law enforcement weapons

With the exception of Smith & Wesson semi-autos. Seem to be plenty of them carried by law enforcement personnel with stainless steel finishes. Orca1 9904 04:17, 31 December 2009 (UTC)

More reasonable ways for Gerard to pull off his end-of-movie trick?

The current (12/30/09) edit for this article is quite derisive of Gerard's method of rendering Royce's Glock harmless, saying that "Royce must be pretty amateur since he failed to notice the difference in the weight of his Glock after 15 rounds of .40 Smith & Wesson disappeared." Can anyone here think of other, more plausible ways Gerard could have used without giving obvious signs that something was off with Royce's gun before he tried pulling the trigger?

-Replacing the magazine with one loaded with blanks, making for a rather funny moment as Royce fires a shot to no effect and checks the magazine to find only blanks?

-Sabotaging the mechanism of Royce's gun so that it would jam, misfire, or otherwise refuse to function completely?

-Replacing the magazine with a weighted but empty magazine that exactly duplicates the fully-loaded weight but obviously can't fire?

Well you have to keep in mind that Gerard had to do this while engaged in conversation with Royce who was sitting right next to him, plus I doubt a Marshal would carry around a 'dummy' magazine in the field. Plus you seem to be forgetting the fact that this is a MOVIE, a work of FICTION. Orca1 9904 04:15, 31 December 2009 (UTC)

He could have popped the first round of the mag out and reloaded it backwards (as in loaded the rond into the magazine facing the wrong way), preventing the gun from firing whilst not altering the weight and jamming the gun --Captain Snikt 05:10, 30 January 2010 (UTC)

Royce's Bulletproof Vest

During the Swamp Search, it looks as though Royce has taken off his Jacket, Shirt and Tie revealing a Black T-Shirt and Bulletproof Vest. It's an Obvious plot hole since Royce SHOULD have been wearing it at the end of the movie.
