Talk:Shaun of the Dead

I'll try to rent and screencap this eventually. -GM

It seems strange that the army uses G36Cs in this movie, as they are in Britain, and the rifle of the British Army is the SA-80. Any thoughts on this? -Dannysaysnoo

Well, G36s are pretty common for British police, and Royal Ordnance did own H&K for a period of time, so I would imagine there would be no shortage of G36s in the UK. I believe the British even considered using G36 to replace SA-80 at one time before H&K come up with SA-80A2. But yeah, the regular British Army should be using SA-80s.

You can't always rationalize things like this in films. In all likeliness the G36 was chosen just because it was A> What was available and or B> because it looks cool --AdAstra2009 19:44, 31 December 2009 (UTC)

Winchester Model 1866

Looks like it's actually a Winchester Model 1866 "Yellow Boy" instead of a Winchester Model 1873. So I've changed it. --Jcordell 00:38, 23 September 2010 (UTC)

I don't know..... the 1866 rifle has a securing brace on the handguard. the 1873 rifle dosn't have that, nor does the one in the movie..--TravisTee 16:56, 18 October 2011 (CDT)

Look at the reciever. It doesn't have that step where it meets with the rifle stock. It's also missing the hatch or panel that the 1873 has. Can't explain the lack of the support band. But I believe it's an 1866. --Jcordell 10:15, 19 October 2011 (CDT)
