Talk:Salt (2010)

The gun she gets from home is a Sig Sauer P232, not a P230.

Does anyone else think the rifle at the end of the pages is a Sig 552 variant?96.32.133.162 20:14, 15 December 2009 (UTC)

I think it is. The way the mags are all clipped together looks similar to some pics I have seen of SIG weapons. If I remember there are some sort of built in notches on the mags to facilitate that.--Charon68 23:35, 15 December 2009 (UTC)

I also think it is, because of the gas valve in front and the form of the Breechblock housing. I had once SIG550 by myself when I was in the Swiss army. We usually clipped up to 3 mags together. The gun stays still quit handy. But they stopped it because to many mags where last in combat exercises. But in the situation like in salt I could make sense to clip 4 mags. One (of many) unanswered question how brought the SIG552 to the bunker at the first place;)

maybe a SG553? from wiki: 'Further factory options for the SG 553 rifle series are an integrated receiver Picatinny rail and an adjustable butt stock'

The two center M4 pictures, the one with backwards EOTech and the guy going down stairs are actually Colt M933 "Commandos". -64.7.107.34

Does the guy with the Colt and EOTech have a crane stock? --ThePotShot 21:50, 19 December 2009 (UTC)

4 magazines clamped together sounds very heavy Excalibur01 21:50, 21 May 2010 (UTC)

No kidding. If she needs that much ammo, she'd be better off with a SAW or other light machine gun. Orca1 9904 23:27, 11 July 2010 (UTC)

Except that the 552 is - even with all the magazines clamped together - still more handy than a SAW. And quicker to reload. --85.3.115.83 08:33, 12 July 2010 (UTC)

The shotgun isn't a Winchester 1300, it looks more like a Mossberg 590, but it has no bayonet lug and some kind of door breaching muzzle brake. It also has some white marking on the receiver, so it might be a non gun or some kind of fake, or even an off brand shotgun like an Armscor. --Yournamehere 23:17, 11 July 2010 (UTC)

That backwards EOTech has to be one of the stupidest yet funniest mistakes I've ever seen... Spartan198 08:03, 12 July 2010 (UTC)

The shot gun is what Mossberg calls their 500 "Homeland" defender. You can tell by the etching on the right hand side of the gun...thats their homeland symbol. this one is a pistol grip model with door breacher made as part of the barrel.--Spades of Columbia 15:00, 16 July 2010 (UTC)

The movie seems to mee to be Naked Weapon meets Laura Croft Tomb Raider meets Bourne Children are traind as spies/assainins for birth (taking the Naked Weapon idea it is most extreme point, raising them from birth rather than kidnapping), her going down the elevator shaft reminded me of the Laura Croft movies, and her escape from her house and other stuff reminds me of the Bourne Series. Any comments? ---Mandolin 21:11, 5 August 2010 (UTC)

During the face off scene under the White House, why did she clipped 4 mags together when all she did was used 2? It seemed like a waste of time Excalibur01 02:37, 6 August 2010 (UTC)

She didn't know how much ammo she would need, so she took a lot. Makes sense to me. I Though most of the gunplay was good, right up to the point that the evi.l guy kills every body with the MP5K one-handed. That and she charges the room with a pistol when she has 2 mags left in the Sig 552 --Mandolin 12:56, 6 August 2010 (UTC)

UMP & MP5K-PDW

Neither of them look like what they're listed as, they both look like MP or SP-10's. --Crazycrankle 22:03, 21 August 2010 (UTC)

To me they both look like UMP...the guy looks to have a UMP-9 and the girl looks like she has a UMP-45. But the line of sight looks too long to be a MP5-PDW.--Spades of Columbia 22:18, 21 August 2010 (UTC)

The sights are right for a UMP but MP/SP-10's have the same ones, and the whole front end is not from a UMP. And the woman's magazine looks a bit too short for a UMP-45. --Crazycrankle 22:25, 21 August 2010 (UTC)

Definatly looks like a MP/SP-10.--FIVETWOSEVEN 04:36, 30 August 2010 (UTC)

I did indeed mean The Golden Closet (and changed the link).

Is this the first appearance of a striker fired Smith and Wesson M&P series pistol on screen?

President's Codename

I just rewatched this movie and noticed that the president's codename in the movie is Geronimo. Anybody else find this humorous, as this was Bin Laden's codename during Operation Neptune Spear. --SmithandWesson36 22:07, 11 September 2012

On a serious note it's kinda ironic you discovered that today.Mr.Ice (talk) 22:17, 11 September 2012 (EDT)

Yeah, I didn't mean anything by that, it was just Salt was played on TV today and I just happened to notice. I didn't mean any disrespect. --SmithandWesson36 22:31, 11 September 2012 (EDT)

Oh I known I just wanted to point out the irony. No harm done.Mr.Ice (talk) 23:05, 11 September 2012 (EDT)

Geronimo wasn't Bin Laden's code name during Neptune Spear. His actual code name was "Jackpot" I think. The reason people believe it to be "Geronimo" is that the operation was organised into different stages with each stage having an alphabetically sequential code word, with the 7th stage being killing Bin Laden. Some of the people in the ops room got the wrong end of the stick about how the people on the ground used the term "Geronimo", which is how this got reported as his code name. This caused a bit of an uproar among Native Americans until the DOD explained the actual use of "Geronimo". --commando552 (talk) 04:04, 12 September 2012 (EDT)
