Talk:Killing Them Softly

Cogan's Mossberg 500 "Cruiser" accessories

The foregrip looks to be a Surefire 323 series and the tri-rail mounted in front of it may be LASERLYTE ADP-TRIR-140. I can't tell if the tri-rail adapter is actually fastened down, in the detail below it appears to be canted off center.

D.K. Green, the General Manager of LaserLyte, confirmed on 10/2/12 that that is indeed a LaserLyte ADP-TRIR-140 tri-rail adapter. bunni (talk) 13:47, 2 October 2012 (EDT)

I think that this same Mossberg was also used by Jim Caviezel in Person of Interest. -MT2008 (talk) 10:02, 27 October 2012 (EDT)

Coogan's automatic

The automatic Coogan uses in the back of the car at the traffic lights looked like a Browning High Power to me, probably a Mk. III due to the fixed sights it seemed to have. --cool-breeze (talk) 21:05, 2 October 2012 (EDT)

It looked like more of a M1911 to me. I also saw a him with a Colt Detective Special.

I also think he was using a 1911 in the trailerBristow8411 (talk) 00:25, 3 October 2012 (EDT)

i think it was a Colt Commander--Dillinger (talk) 02:41, 3 October 2012 (EDT)

Seeing it in the cinema I can almost guarentee it's a Browning, the slide profile and the front matches that of a Browning. --cool-breeze (talk) 05:36, 3 October 2012 (EDT)

Can someone ID the type of ammo used ? It doesn't look like a 9mm or .45 shell, maybe an older ammunition - Sebastian2A (talk) 08:16, 4 April 2013 (EDT)

Sawed off shotgun

What would of happened if a shotgun that's sawed off so much were to be fired in real life? Excalibur01 (talk) 12:13, 30 November 2012 (EST) Saw the film yesterday. It sure looked like a 1911 to me. What's odd, though, is the bottlenecked cartridges the pistol ejected. Maybe .30 Luger? The Browning Hi Power has been chambered in that caliber, and even a limited run of Colt Commanders in the 1970's. But was that a real pistol firing real ammo with a lot of editing (which is apparent in the scene)? Can't imagine a prop gun chambered for an odd caliber when 9mm blanks are usually what is used.

Some other guns in the movie to look out for when it's on DVD

1. One of the guys who kidnapped Ray Liotta had a heavy-barrel six-shot revolver of some type. The other two revolvers seen are both five-shooters. The one that the robber in the beginning used had a rounded wooden grip and no back sights, and the one that Brad Pitt carries has an extremely small frame and cylinder. 2. That's definately an M1911 that Brad Pitt fires in the back of the car. I think digital effects made the bullet casings, they looked fake-ish, at least to me. 3. Sam Shepard's character used what I believe to be a Glock the first time that he and Kenny beat up Marky. The police at the shopping mall also use Glocks, and you get a pretty nice close up of one in that scene. 4. I found it a huge shame that they didn't fire that ultra-sawed-off shotgun in the film, mostly because I'd love to know exactly what would happen if someone did. Any ideas, anyone? Like, would a shotgun that cut down even work?--Sparticus (talk) 21:24, 2 December 2012 (EST)

Your Opinion on the Film

Once again me bothering you with that question, thanks for answer.--Dillinger (talk) 22:18, 2 December 2012 (EST)

The sawed off shotgun in the movie was an exact representation of the shotgun described in the novel, right down to the tips of the green shotgun shells protruding from the barrels. It's been a long time since I read Cogan's Trade,but some things juststick with you. Greatly enjoyed the movie, by the way.

Several people seems to have a problem witht the economic references.--Dillinger (talk) 23:17, 4 December 2012 (EST)
