Live by Night (2017)

Live by Night is an upcoming 2017 crime film written, directed, and co-produced by Ben Affleck. Set in the US during the time of Prohibition, the film tells the story of Joe Coughlin (Ben Affleck), a Boston gangster who also happens to be the estranged son of a Boston police captain, who starts running a bootlegging operation in Florida. The film was adapted from a novel by Dennis Lehane, the author of Mystic River and whose novel Gone Baby Gone was previously adapted into a film by Affleck. The cast includes Elle Fanning, (Brendan Gleeson), (Sienna Miller), (Zoe Saldana), and (Chris Cooper), who also co-starred in Affleck's previous film The Town, which Affleck also starred in, co-wrote, and directed.



The following weapons were used in the film Live by Night (2016):

Browning Automatic Rifle

Joe Coughlin wields and fires a customized Browning Automatic Rifle in the trailer. This gun resembles the famous sawed off BARs used by Bonnie and Clyde, and also the ones used in (Public Enemies). The major difference is that while the barrel is shortened, the one in the trailer also has a shortened stock, making it a sort of BAR "whippet gun." The gun in the trailer also differs in that it appears to have a later model sight.

Coughlin takes cover with his customized BAR. While the shortened stock and barrel would certainly make the gun more concealable and lightweight ("leightweight" being a relative term for a 16-pound firearm), controlled fire would probably be a difficulty. Also note the updated sight.
