The Abyss
Nice, but where's the trigger? This article or section is incomplete. You can help IMFDB by expanding it. |
The following firearms were used in the movie The Abyss:
MAC-10
A MAC-10 with a detachable barrel extension and no stock is used by the Navy SEALs.
SIG-Sauer P226
Lt. Hiram Coffey (Michael Biehn) carries a SIG-Sauer P226 9mm, the standard issue pistol for the U.S. Navy SEALs.
- I would need to see screencaps to be sure, but I remember the gun being a P220. The P226 may be used by the SEALs in real life, but the prop weapon used in the movie could have still been a P220.
- The only good shots of the gun itself are pretty dark, so it is hard to tell the diameter of the barrel; but, the rounds they show during the scene when Ed Harris tries to subdue Michael Biehn are clearly 9mm FMJ's.
- The diameter of the bore isn't necessary to tell if it's a P226 or not; in fact, it would be irrelevant because the earliest P220s were also 9mm. I would need to see if it has the double-stack creases on the sides of the frame. That's how you can tell a P226 apart from a P220. -MT2008
Just Watched it, after Coffey ([Biehn]) imprisons the crew there are clear shots of the pistol. It is definitely double stack, so it's a 226.
M16A2
Or maybe M16A1 with A2 handguard. It is seen wielded by the Bethnic Explorer's Armed QM at the scene when the underwater alien palace rises from the sea.
Not utilized this way in the real world, putting the distinctive A2 handguards on the older rifle was a method used by Movie/TV armorers to simulate A2 rifles when M16A1s were the only ones available.
- I was watching it earlier n it was clearly a M16A2. The Winchester
