Removed this from the page and put it here. The only way this would work is if they converted the rifle to .22lr. The rifle also has what looks like a Mini-14 flash hider.- Ithaqua

And why is that pray tell? RedJedRevoler

I suppose he's saying the .22 would be the only gun she could handle the recoil of attached to her leg (as opposed to the big Minigun she's packing at the end? ;)...). And it isn't an actual flash hider at all, it is a custom built design so the gun barrel can withstand the shock of being walked on. The whole leg-gun concept is pretty dumb and not at all tactically sound, but this movie was supposed to mock the stupidity of old grindhouse movies. At one point she launches herself over a wall by firing the M203 directly under her, which would have in reality just blown her up. - Gunmaster45

Yeah that's what i figured, just making sure, I hate open-ended answers like that.

What I'm saying is that since Wray removed the buffer tube so that the rifle could fit on her, the gun would have made the rifle unable to fire. Because the buffer tube houses the buffer spring and buffer. When the rifle is fired the bolt carrier group moves backward into the buffer tube causing the buffer to compressing the spring. Which in turn recoils pushing the buffer and bolt carrier group forward and pushing a round from the magazine into the barrel. The way a .22lr bolt carrier group works is that the spring is part of the bolt carrier group so you don't need a buffer tube. - Ithaqua

Ohh right, duhh, unless we're are supposed to believe he can modify an M4 to have the features of the Oly Arms pistols right?

I didn't know about the Oly Arms buffer tube-less pistol. - Ithaqua

This "pistol" http://www.imfdb.org/index.php/Olympic_Arms_OA-93_Pistol, buffer tube it on top of the gun, instead of protruding from the rear. -RedJedRevolver

Thanks for the info, I wonder if that is a gas piston gun or direct impingement driven. -Ithaqua

Check their website, In don't specialize with AR's, I just know about guns I have or want to have.
