RE:Flare Pistol in Soldier Boyz

Thanks, glad I could help. When I found that page it was annoying me as well, as it is clearly real with a very distinctive design, but any search I did for flare pistols just came up with more conventional military style flare guns. It wasn't until I realised it was probably a cheap civilian thing and searched for "cheap flare pistol" and it came up on the first page. --commando552 (talk) 13:09, 20 June 2014 (EDT)

Although I think you know,In Japan, those without qualifications would be a movie does not shoot a real gun.(No problem mounting parts of other than the Receiver and barrel.) Prop gun used in the movie of Japan --KINKI'boy (talk) 23:43, 13 July 2014 (JST)

Revolver ID

I was going to suggesting bringing in JCordell, but great minds think alike. Since it's an older revolver, maybe Nyles as well. --Funkychinaman (talk) 15:41, 24 August 2014 (EDT)

Revolver ID

Well it's more of a guess, but I like to think of it being an educated guess. I believe it's a Manurhin MR-73 with a 5" barrel.The cylinder release latch and the design of the hammer is consistent with the MR-73. However it is the model with the adjustable rear sights.The front sight is too high for the fixed sight model. It appears that the rear sight was removed - possibly the actor kept snagging the rear sight on his clothing and other things.

It is not a Korth revolver and it lacks the ventilated top rib of the Colt Python and Colt Diamondback. When the movie was made (1983) there were five ,commercial, mass-produced revolver models with full barrel length lugs. The S&W L frame .357 magnum (586/686/581/681), Colt Python, Colt Diamondback, Korth and Manurhin MR-73. The MR-73 comes closest to matching the lines of the revolver in those screencaps. Hope this helped.--Jcordell (talk) 17:52, 24 August 2014 (EDT)

Well right now I have to say that the revolver in "Contraband" looks like it could be a Smith & Wesson Model 27 with the 3.5" barrel. It's a large framed revolver and has lines similar to the S&W N frame. Note that in the one screencap it's obvious that the cylinder does not fill the frame like it would on a Model 29 (44 Magnum) and the forcing cone is longer - like a Model 27/28. I have to go with the 27. Give me time on the other two. --Jcordell (talk) 11:24, 25 August 2014 (EDT)

S&W Model 27-2 - .357 magnum with 3.5" barrel.

Looks like a Smython. The barrel of a Colt Python fitted to the frame of the Smith & Wesson Model 19. This was a very popular conversion done by a few gunsmiths in the seventies and sixties. When Smith brought out the L frame models in 1980 the popularity of the Smython faded. Google and you'll find out more info. --Jcordell (talk) 01:59, 28 August 2014 (EDT)

Smython or sometimes called a "Smolt". Python barrel and a S&W Model 19 frame.

There was also the Couger. The Python barrel fitted to the Ruger Security-Six frame. --Jcordell (talk) 02:03, 28 August 2014 (EDT)

re:Riva Esterina Black Widow

I got that date from an Italian site, but after Google translating (I speak zero Italian) it the date wasn't when it was made, but rather talking abut some journal it appeared in in 1982 (I think). I'm not quite sure what this site is or what it is talking about, but it is one of the only sites on the web that even mentions this gun. --commando552 (talk) 12:16, 28 August 2014 (EDT)

What is a "wide"! I'm going to do so too. I fixed that on the 500 from 600 here - http://www.imfdb.org/wiki/Our_Agent_Tiger_(Le_Tigre_se_parfume_%C3%A0_la_dynamite) But for me it is because the smaller picture sharpens. In the film, Naples is the opposite - it was better for to have identifiaci 600, how it wanted from me.--Pandolfini (talk) 15:06, 28 August 2014 (EDT)
