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)
