Talk:Law & Order - Season 10
The more I look at this, the more I think this is gun is more than just a dressed up Skorpion. While it does have the slots on both sides for the bolt actuator, the slots are a lot wider than those seen on a Skorpion. The sights are different, but I suppose those wouldn't have been too hard to change, but the ridges on the receiver are gone as well. Did they just mate two different guns together? If so, what's the other gun? --Funkychinaman (talk) 11:08, 18 April 2013 (EDT)
- I agree it's a Scorpion. I can't swear to this but I think the bottom gun is a specially-modified prop - I remember in that scene McCoy hands it to Trope and during his testimony he disassembles it to demonstrate how he (easily) converted it to full-auto with the ordered parts and instructions he received. I don't recall if any of the pieces he strips out and shows are authentic so it could be a made-up prop just for that scene, with some outer pieces changed to allow it to be easily and quickly taken apart by the actor. I could be wrong but it's a thought. I have to say you're doing an excellent job on these pages, I really like how well you've formatted the pages and also added fairly in-depth descriptions of the show and characters/actors for each season. Nice work thus far. StanTheMan (talk) 11:32, 18 April 2013 (EDT)
- The shape and the pistol grip scream Skorpion, but everything else seems a bit off. McCoy does hand it to Trope (who had already plead guilty and was actually a witness for the prosecution) and Trope does disassemble it and show how he converted it to full auto. Apparently, it only involved filing down part of the bolt (which many characters commented on during the episode), swapping out one of the springs, and soldering (welding?) in a new guide plate. I highly doubt it in any way realistic, lest the show open itself up to the most ironic lawsuit ever. Overall, I think it was a fairly balanced episode, as Abbie Carmichael voiced a very strong defense of the 2nd Amendment. As for these pages, it's a great excuse to rewatch every episode of a great show, and capping all 456 episodes is a challenge I readily accept. Given NBC's struggles of late, I'm a bit shocked no one has at least floated the idea of bringing back Law & Order. --Funkychinaman (talk) 12:13, 18 April 2013 (EDT)
- It isn't a Skorpion, note the ar-15 type safety in the first image. It is actually a Leinad Skorpion Pistol, and cheap POS in kind of the shape of a vz. 61. Can't find a good image of it right now, but it has the AR-15 safety and the wide bolt slots. --commando552 (talk) 15:52, 18 April 2013 (EDT)
