Talk:Bad Boys
Additional Images (Moved from Main Page)

- Not sure it's worth mentioning but the gun on the left in this photo: http://www.imfdb.org/images/9/9a/Bad_boys_bug17_image1-1-.jpg is actually a Wildey of some sort. Not sure which one. Brandtbl 06:14, 2 June 2008 (UTC)
Typo
Just for the record, as the article on "Bad Boys" is locked: There's a typo regarding the caliber of the SIG P230: It's spelled "9mm kurz" rather than "9mm Kurtz" ("kurz" meaning short in German).

LAR Grizzly Win Mag?
I'm beginning to think that isn't a real LAR Grizzly Win Mag, as I just saw another movie screenshot of the weapon, and it doesn't have the squared trigger guard, instead, it has a round one. Here is the link to that site where someone has noticed this. [[1]]
Style choices
This was mentioned briefly in the article but I was hoping to elaborate on it. Why is it that virtually every weapon in this film has a stainless, chrome, or nickle finish? I like these types of finishes as much as the next guy (especially on the second and third generation Smith & Wesson Auto pistols) but this seems like overkill to me. If anyone agrees or disagrees with my assessment I would like to hear.

- This is a Retarded action movie and it's directed by Michael Bay. There is nothing wrong with that though.-Oliveira 12:21, 20 June 2009 (UTC)
Re: Style choices
Those finishes are commonly seen used buy police departments that are located in coastal cities and of course the bad guys have to have bling, bling guns. Gunner313
- Why the hell would cops have nickel and chrome finishes on their guns?--Oliveira 17:17, 14 October 2009 (UTC)
- Because it looks Metal (as in Sabaton, Metallica or Iron Maiden, not ACTUAL metal like steel), even though no policeman in his right mind would use such a flashy (unstealthy) finish-S&Wshooter 20:48, 14 October 2009 (UTC)
- They probably use them in coastal cities because, due to the salty air and water, something more corrosion resistant is necessary. -Anonymous
Try thinking this: "Undercover narcotics detectives". Pulling out a standard police issue weapon might raise questions. --Crazycrankle 06:18, 15 November 2009 (UTC)
And since when do cops need Stealth? FBI I could agree but regular patrol cops ... I don't think so.
- They are UNDERCOVER narcotics officers. Duh! They have a wide latitude for carry pieces. Also I agree with the theory of favoring stainless finishes in areas surrounded by Sea water. MoviePropMaster2008 01:31, 2 August 2010 (UTC)
Desert Eagle Mk I .357 = Mk XIX .50 AE
Judging by the Clerk's Deagle's bore diameter, safety button shape and the height of the fluting at the back, I would say that it is a Desert Eagle Mk XIX, that as it has an un-fluted barrel, is chambered in .50 AE.

Lowrey's Gun cabinet
In one of the scenes, Julie is seen retrieving a Walther PPK/S from Lowrey's gun cabinet. There are three other guns below the shelf the PPK/S and the Glock 19 are on:
On the right is a SIG-Sauer P226, in the center is a Smith & Wesson 639, and I'm not sure what the gun on the right of the SIG is. Looks like a Smith & Wesson. Any thoughts? -Gunman69 03:42, 19 April 2010 (UTC)
- The gun on the right is the nickel SIG P225 that he uses at the end of the film to shoot Fouchet. -MT2008 03:43, 19 April 2010 (UTC)
- Yeah, I'd say you're right on the money. Then I guess it wasn't a continuity error at the end. Thanks. -Gunman69 03:53, 19 April 2010 (UTC)
OA-93
Is it really an OA-93 with that buffer tube? Excalibur01
- It's an OA-93 for sure, but what's strange is that the one used in the film doesn't seem to have a buffer tube, even though the gun that the armorer shows off does. -MT2008 19:43, 3 May 2010 (UTC)
I think that special feature was filmed after Bad Boys had been released. I remember watching it and I'm pretty sure they mentioned The Rock or something that made it seem like it was filmed after Bad Boys. --cool-breeze 16:38, 4 July 2011 (CDT)
Burnett / Lawrence's compact S&W
Given these images, the last especially, this pistol clearly has a two-tone alloy frame and stainless slide. It also seems to lack the frame bulge of the 6900 pistols, making me think this is actually an early 3913 rather than a 6906. StanTheMan (talk) 17:37, 25 January 2015 (EST)
- It has the double stack step, it is just harder to see as the alloy frame has more of a matte finish. It is easiest to see in the middle shot with the slide locked back, and in the last one you can tell there is the step by the shape of the frame inside the trigger guard which is in shadow and darker, so I'm pretty sure that it is a 6906. It never occurred to me before, but the 6906 breaks the format for the S&W 3rd gen model numbers. Normally a fourth digit of "6" means it has a stainless steel frame but all guns in the 6900s series were alloy framed so technically the correct model would have been 6905. --commando552 (talk) 18:15, 25 January 2015 (EST)
- I just looked at them again, and yeah, now I can tell the frame step, but damn it's not easy to see. But its definitely there in the second and last caps here, so thanks for the correction. Good point about the 6906 - The 6900s are all alloy framed so technically the 06 is indeed not adhering to the standard model number scheme (It should be 6903, actually - stainless slide, alloy frame - 6905 would be all blued carbon steel). But it is what it is I guess. StanTheMan (talk) 20:07, 25 January 2015 (EST)
- Quite right, it would be the 5903. Unless I get a book out or look it up I always tend to get the finish/material numbers mixed up as they just jump around seemingly all over the place. --commando552 (talk) 20:33, 25 January 2015 (EST)
