Talk:(Smallville) - Custom SMG

I really do not think that this gun actually has anything to do with the Feather AT9. It has a long magazine well built into the lower (not welded on after the fact, it is an original stamped part integral to the rest of the receiver) so this is not from an AT9, and although superficially similar (a cylinder) the upper is different as the charging handle is of a different design and it is on the wrong side of the gun (I believe that the stock image is mirrored for some reason). My guess is that they are scratch builds like the those other Felcan SMGs that are in Timecop and a load of other stuff. --commando552 (talk) 19:53, 16 January 2015 (EST)

Not only that, but these guns were not in Smallville first. I saw one of them in an episode of M.A.N.T.I.S. that aired in 1994, along with those other custom machine pistols. This is why I think we should discourage the practice of naming weapons after the movie they were in, unless there is a good reason to do so (the "Timecop Beretta" is a rare exception). -MT2008 (talk) 22:39, 16 January 2015 (EST)

Eh, if so we'd need to think of another naming convention for fictional weapons. Evil Tim (talk) 22:41, 16 January 2015 (EST)

I'm not opposed to it when we know for sure that the weapon was built for a particular movie, but this is a case where we don't know and we are just guessing. -MT2008 (talk) 22:47, 16 January 2015 (EST)
