G36E?

Wouldn't the G36 in the film be a normal G36 and not the G36E seeing as the G36's used in the film have the Dual sights and not just the lower sight.

Well, the carry handle with the dual sights can be purchased and put on a G36E if need be. My understanding is that the only difference between a regular G36 and the 'E' models is that Bundeswehr get the dual sights for free, whereas other customers would have to pay extra for it.

That being said, I have this movie on DVD, and the receiver of the gun shown in a close-up at the beginning clearly just says, "G36". I think Kurt Wimmer says on the DVD commentary that the German government loaned weapons to the production (which is why you see so many G36s, MP5s, Walther MPKs, H&K G3s, etc. - all weapons that German military and police use).

-ahhh I see ,thanks for clearing that up. Still may be normal G36 since you said the German Gov't loaned them weapons.

Don't quote me on that because I might be wrong and I might have mis-interpreted the DVD commentary. But the fact that the receiver of one of the movie guns just says "G36" (instead of "G36E") is suspicious because I'm pretty sure all "E" guns are marked as such.

the AK47

the picture of the ak47 looks more like an AKM to me. The size of the front site and the size of the gas block are what made me think. I don't want to make any changes without asking anybody else first though

Yup, AKM.

Wow, nice catch there - that front sight is an AKM's. bunni 20:50, 24 March 2008 (UTC)

M16A2 to Beretta AR70

I think the guy who wrote about the M16 to the AR70 is mistaken. If you watch closely, Preston fights the first Sweeper and takes his M16 before dumping it and going to the next guy who was clearly holding an AR70. He then smacks the gun and it turns his way. There is no continuity error there.

No, I'm afraid I'm not. The gun he takes from the Sweeper and holds on the other is an AR70, but it is an M16A2 in a single close-up. -MT2008 04:05, 27 November 2008 (UTC)

H&K UMP

During the raid on the nethers (the one after brandt confronts preston during a sparring session) I think one of the Sweepers is using a H&K UMP but I'm not sure, the big hints to me are the front & rear sights and that you can see through the long vent lines in the foregrip.

Nope, those are all the Walther MPKs, which have already been repped on this page. -MT2008 04:12, 29 December 2008 (UTC)

Armored Sweepers

I'm curious, anyone know the type of body armor that is used by the Armored Sweeper teams in the film? -User:AdAstra2009

It's some kind of riot control vest. I'm gonna go out on a limb and say it's probably something made in Germany and used by LE agencies there. -MT2008

So I'm guessing since it's riot control it probably won't stop bullets, shame it looks effective and intimidating with the neck protection, thanks BTW -User:AdAstra2009

I think I saw the same body armor in the German movie Baader Meinhof Complex, The (Der Baader Meinhof Komplex)

Uzi or MPi 69

I took this screencap thinking it was an Uzi but if you look at the top there is no charging handle and the top is also too flat to be an Uzi, I thought it might be a rubber cast of an uzi but I looked at the scene again and you see it firing so it's not some rubber prop. I think it's a Steyr MPi 69 but the trigger guard looks a bit off, Any other ideas? --AdAstra2009 22:37, 21 May 2009 (UTC)

I think it is indeed an MPi-69 or -81 (depends on the type of cocking handle, which is not visible). -MT2008 18:06, 9 June 2009 (UTC)
