Talk:A Good Day to Die Hard
Actually, in the second trailer, it seems that John McClane Jr.(Jai Courtney) is using the SA58 Para Tactical Carbine, and not the FN SCAR-H CQC, like his father does.
P228R?
I will admit that I am not the best at IDing guns, but the supposed P228R looks much more like a P226R based on the length of the slide and the overall size.--One shot is all it takes. (talk) 00:48, 5 January 2013 (EST)
Cole Hauser mix-up...
Since I saw the first teaser for this film, and after having visited this page, something has been chewing me from the inside out with the character Collins. Then I realized; unless Cole Hauser's had some extensive plastic surgery done to his face, he hasn't appeared in any of the trailers yet.
I don't know who made the initial identification based-on who-knows-what, but that guy is actually a guy named Radivoje Bukvic. (IMDB link: http://www.imdb.com/name/nm1366568/ ). None of the trailers give the character above any name, so I imagine how someone would have identified him as Collins, since he appears to be the top henchman of the main villain based on the trailers. That character is actually a a character named 'Alik', played by Bukvic.
I know what you're thinking, Radivoje Bukvic's imfdb page has an image of this guy:
But that's not him. This guy is:
The first guy is someone totally different, someone who I couldn't identify even from Taken's IMDB credentials.
I'm obviously going to correct said errors, but what bug's me the most is, hasn't anyone else noticed that the guy in the trailers is not Cole Hauser? --Warejaws (talk) 16:10, 22 January 2013 (EST)
- This has been bugging me as well. I certainly agree the guy in the trailers doesn't look like Hauser, and I haven't spotted him in any of the media related to the film.--Leigh Burne (talk) 03:42, 23 January 2013 (EST)
- Yeah, it's a bit surprising, since he's supposed to be the main villain's right hand, and he hasn't appeared in any AGDTDH media. Maybe he's one of those menacing, Bane type of bad guys who work in the background shadows, pulling all kinds of Jedi mind tricks on the good guys?... --Warejaws (talk) 06:22, 23 January 2013 (EST)
Why right-handed?
Anyone want to speculate why John McClane is firing most of the guns (except the shotguns) right-handed? I believe in all the other movies he fired everything left-handed and it doesn't look like he's been wounded on the left side. --Ben41 (talk) 20:05, 22 January 2013 (EST)
- The only explanation I could think of is that maybe there was an issue with hot brass flying into him? Looking at his page, he's mainly used pistols, where this is not an issue, the M4 in Tears of the Sun, which has a brass deflector to prevent such things, and the MP5/HK94 in two Die Hards. Not being a lefty, this has never come up for me. --Funkychinaman (talk) 23:19, 22 January 2013 (EST)
- With most rifles with a conventional layout it wouldn't be a problem firing them left handed. However it probably is if you shoot them from the hip like in most movies, as the ejection port is relatively further back, so the cases have a much greater chance of hitting you (if not in the face then definitely in the chest or your other arm). If its a gun with a reciprocating charging handle it would also be cycling very close to the actor if fired left handed from the hip. --commando552 (talk) 07:38, 23 January 2013 (EST)
In the new GI Joe movie, he is seen firing a SCAR-L left handed with no problems. Maybe it's just the situation he's in. The SCAR series, you can change the charging handle to the other side. Excalibur01 (talk) 08:35, 23 January 2013 (EST)
additional guns not mentioned so far
New user, first post, so I'm not going to try editing the main page yet, but thought I would throw a couple things in here for others to work on after seeing the movie last night.
1. Rooftop snipers at the courthouse appear to have large caliber sniper rifles, probably .50 BMG It can be seen around :32 in this trailer: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oW9uT2wQFC0
2. I'm pretty sure I spotted the CQC version of the Steyer AUG A3 seen here: http://www.steyrauga3cqc.com/ The front sling attachment is very distinctive. I also saw grenade launchers on some of them. They were so loaded up with accessories it was hard to identify some of the guns at first! I don't think the standard A3 has the rails to hold everything they had on there... --Mikesmith (talk) 16:26, 20 February 2013 (EST)
