Talk:Weaponology

My God, most of the scenes for the MP7A1 & AS50 are from Future Weapons clearly showing Richard Machowicz.At some places they didn't even spare the background music.-SB2296

• Seems to happen on all of these types of show (especially HC or DC shows). Ultimate Weapons has the same clips, and the same lack of analysis of weapons.

Gatling gun in need of correction.

I don't know how the Gatling Gun is portrayed in the program, but it is by no means a "fully automatic" weapon. It could be referred to as the first rapid firing breech loader, but it is only manually powered.

L86 LSW

I believe both the L86 and L85 (A1) have appeared in this. Episode Rapid Fire. They discuss modern LMGs and mention the L86 say how at the time of production, it wasn't known how good/bad it the "Bren Gun MkII" would be. Say how the 'squad automatic rifle/support gunner' is a feature that is 'being seen more often'. L85 also mentioned and fired. The L85 has appeared in another episode (One would presume on (assault-) rifles, but I can't remember which one.

Cobray Flare Launcher

For the "Frags, Pineapples and RPGs," the Cobray flare launcher is in Dave Stieghan's hands while he talks about the M203 . Notably, he covers the trigger and receiver with his hand for most of the sequence. Only until he has to show the trigger does he move his hand, and the Cobray's cocking handle is just visible(@~14:20 on my video). This was the most obvious shot I saw, plus it was kinda funny how he was trying to hide that it was not a real M203. He holds what looks like an empty shell of some kind. Is that what a 37mm flare shell looks like, or is that just some machined piece of metal?

I can't identify whether the re-enactors have the real or fake. I assume the archival footage is real. Korium9
