Talk:Truckers (Dalnoboyshchiki)

Some Comments

First, the screenshots have wrong aspect ratio, looking flattened. Second, Fort-12 is most likely a less-than-lethal Fort-12P or Fort-12T in 9mm P.A. caliber. Third, I cannot identify the revolver but it doesn't look like S&W Model 17. I guess that it's also some less-that-lethal gun which are widely used in modern Russian movies due to their cheapness and availability. Greg-Z (talk) 15:33, 10 September 2014 (EDT)

Original AKs never had black furniture. I guess that these are Saiga-M or -MK semi auto carbines. Greg-Z (talk) 13:24, 5 October 2014 (EDT)

This is can be Chinese Type 56? FARID (talk) 21:55, 6 October 2014 (EDT)

I don't think that Russian moviemakers would use Chinese AKs when there is a lot of domestic AKs and AK-style rifles available. Greg-Z (talk) 14:32, 6 October 2014 (EDT)

Why did you identify the gun fired by Kolyan as Fort-12? Actually it is Browning BDA9. Look at your own screenshot, the gun on them has clearly longer barrel and lacks all of Fort-12 features. Yes, the Fort-12 is based on CZ-75 which was, in turn, made after Browning Hi-Power, but still... sorry, I couldn't help but to fix it. By the way, I wanted to start a page for Truckers too, but now that you created it, I am truly grateful. SilverFox (talk) 22:19, 19 January 2015 (UTC)

It's not a Browning BDA as BDA has sloped forend of the frame while the screen pistol has a straight one. Greg-Z (talk) 03:45, 6 February 2015 (EST)

I experimented with some aspect ratios, and it appears that 4:3 is the proper aspect ratio, being that this is a standard def TV series. See the three that I have corrected. Please corrected and reupload the existing caps. Please see instructions on resizing caps and aspect ration here. This page will be in WIP until this is done. Thanks. --Funkychinaman (talk) 15:40, 19 January 2015 (EST)

4:3 appears to be too stretched vertically. Greg-Z (talk) 16:23, 19 January 2015 (EST)

I'll admit it looks weird with the first one, but the other two look okay. (What aspect ratio is SD TV in Russia supposed to be in?) --Funkychinaman (talk) 16:27, 19 January 2015 (EST)

The correct aspect ratio is 1.33:1. But this one seems to have correct ratio (the muzzle of the pistol is round), and it is 1.4:1 (484x346 px). I guess that it's a common problem: while DVD is seen correct on TV set, the screenshots are stretched. Greg-Z (talk) 16:46, 19 January 2015 (EST)
