Talk:Lupin the Third: Strange Psychokinetic Strategy

I have a gut feeling that the unknown pistol with its large and short and seemingly smoothbore barrel appears to be a flare gun. I even guess that it looks similar to Mayday Distress Signal Pistol (of Japanese origin, BTW) but I cannot say if it existed in mid-1970s. Greg-Z (talk) 15:30, 16 February 2016 (EST)

Many thanks! I also thing, that's flare gun. But, it's hardly Mayday Distress Signal Pistol, due the gun in movie has a Trigger guard. Pyramid Silent (talk) 15:49, 16 February 2016 (EST)

It seems to me, or all of the SMGs in the film just a replicas? --Slon95 (talk) 13:04, 17 February 2016 (EST)

They definitely are. Incorrect holes in PPSh barrel shroud, too long Cutts compensators of Thompsons, and other features, and generally crude outlook of these guns. Greg-Z (talk) 13:23, 17 February 2016 (EST)

BTW, the Colt-style revolver has a longer barrel than a Colt DS, maybe 3". It's possible to a genuine Colt DS with 3" barrel but maybe it's also a replica. And the rifle seems to have some strange device on the barrel, like a muzzle break. Greg-Z (talk) 13:28, 17 February 2016 (EST)

I have another question (perhaps not quite in the topic, but still). We sure with the correct ID of the picture "M1921AC Thompson w/ horizontal foregrip", which is in particular used in this article? I know that the M1921 were and with horizontal foregrips (though I'm personally did not see no one), but a this Tommy in my opinion is no different from the default M1928A1; and 30-rounds "stick" magazines, as far as I remember, there were introduced only in early 40s. --Slon95 (talk) 17:35, 17 February 2016 (EST)

I think that this question would be in place on Thompson page or even on Talk Main Page. As for me, I'm not an expert in Tommy Guns but according to Wikipedia (not the best source, I know), 20- and 30-round magazines were introduced as early as in 1919, and in 1941 they were approved as military standard.
