Super 8
| ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Super 8 is a 2011 science fiction film written and directed by J.J. Abrams (Mission: Impossible III) and produced by Steven Spielberg. Set in 1979, the film focuses on a group of kids who while making a homemade movie inadvertently film a massive train crash and discover that the contents on the train may not be from this world.
The following weapons were used in the film Super 8:
M16A1
The M16A1 is seen in the hands of the US military personnel. Deputy Jackson Lamb (Kyle Chandler) takes one and uses it while escaping from the custody of the MPs.
Browning M2HB
Browning M2HBs are seen mounted on the Army's armored vehicles.
M2A1-7 Flamethrower
An M2A1-7 Flamethrower is used by a USAF airman to initiate "Operation Walking Distance".
Smith & Wesson Model 10HB
A Smith & Wesson Model 10HB is held by Dr. Woodward (Glynn Turman) after the train crash. Sheriff Pruitt (Brett Rice) carries one, and it is found on the ground at the site of his disappearance.
Colt M1911A1
Though he never draws it and it is seen only briefly, Deputy Sheriff Jackson Lamb (Kyle Chandler) seems carry an M1911A1 as his duty sidearm. A US policeman in 1979 would have been more likely to carry a revolver of some sort than an automatic as his sidearm. However, there were exceptions to this rule, such as the Indian State Police which switched to the Smith & Wesson Model 39 in 1967.
