MP5K briefcase

Someone please point me to an outside source which claims that the briefcase version must be fired horizontally. Thanks so much. I haven't heard that before and have fired the device myself vertically. I thought that shooting it horizontally would ensure a stovepipe. MPM2008

That's what HKPRO says: Difficult to fire accurately, the briefcase can easily put bullet holes into the calf of the firer, should he decide to fire the K on full auto while holding the case normally. Can you picture it? (http://hkpro.com/mp5k.htm) I have no idea how true it is, as I've never seen nor handled the briefcase MP5K. However, I can imagine that if you fire it vertically and you're letting it loosely dangle at your side (the way Til Schweiger is doing in the movie), the recoil would make it difficult to control and you could, maybe, shoot your own legs. -MT2008

Interesting. I've only fired it with blanks. And I held it with two hands, right hand on top, left hand holding the bottom of the case and it was fine. I think that risk only happens if you hold it buy the carry handle and let it 'dangle', certainly the 'push back' of the constant fire would push the briefcase backwards.

Widescreen

I fixed the images, one less page with widescreen bars. - Gunmaster45

Browning HP

"You can see that it is a P35 from the brown grips, the Mark III has black ones and you can tell that it is not the original one since its hammer is the same as the Mark III's"

What does that mean? The P35 is the original one, the first model. I know they started making those spur hammers after the war, but I'm not sure exactly when. It could be a Mark II.

Yeah, what does that mean? The early ones more commonly called the P35 had the internal extractor, you can buy new Hi-Powers that are basically the same as the Mark III models but blued and wood grips. The spur hammers have been around forever. The P35 is just another name for the Hi-Power. -Predator20 00:40, 15 October 2009 (UTC)

IMI Desert Eagle Mark VII

How do we know it is the .357 variant?

Maybe the number of rounds fired before reloading or maybe the muzzle diameter? -Predator20 00:32, 15 October 2009 (UTC)

Muzzle diameter, in this case. Also, the .357 Desert Eagles were by far the most common ones seen in American action movies in the 1990s, so when in doubt, it's always a safe bet. -MT2008 21:10, 13 January 2010 (UTC)

DVD vs. Blu Ray

I just picked up this movie on Blu Ray. I haven't finished watching it yet (or screencapping), but I thought I'd post this image to illustrate the quality difference. Compare the two images (focus especially on how detailed the bad guy's SIG P226 appears in the top image versus the bottom image when you expand to full-size):

Looks pretty good, eh? -MT2008 21:10, 13 January 2010 (UTC)

Blu Ray time starts now. -MT2008 00:20, 19 January 2010 (UTC)

Ethnic Groups

If this movie is about Triads, how come half the members aren't even Asian? This is very very unrealistic! (Mind you I am Asian myself.)
