Assassin Posted October 29, 2020 Share Posted October 29, 2020 I forgot about The Mummy, there is a plethora of cool guns in the first two Mummy movies, 97's, Webley's, Colts, Mausers, 1911's, 1887 Win, machine guns, many misc. others, some that were fabricated from modern guns. It appeared they made a point to show close ups of many of the guns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crazy Gun Barney, SASS #2428 Posted October 29, 2020 Share Posted October 29, 2020 I could swear that I read somewhere that the cut off 87 from Mummy 2 was the same gun as Arnold used in T2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alpo Posted October 29, 2020 Share Posted October 29, 2020 Sorry Barney. You have been misinformed. Arnold used three shotguns as The Terminator. One with a regular lever, one with a big loop lever so he could flip it, and a rubber one for the action scenes. Here they are. Left to right, regular, rubber, big loop. As you can see, the two real ones have had the trigger guard cut away so he can get his big fat finger in there easier. This is a scene of Rick shooting his sawed-off 87. If you blow the picture up, and lighten it a little bit, you can see that his shotgun has a trigger guard. Here is a picture of sweet thing shooting it, and it is even easier to see the trigger guard against her lily white hand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Go West Posted October 30, 2020 Share Posted October 30, 2020 I noted the Winchester '73 in your last post, but I failed to tell about my favorite part. That was the scene about the shoot off between Jimmy Stewart and the evil brother. Bad brother says he didn't shoot through the hole in a necklace piece and Jimmy does it again after a postage stamp is stuck over the hole. Wyatt Earp eyeballs the hole in the stamp and declares Jimmy the winner of the 1 in 1000 Winchester. Makes me want to watch it again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which would explain why that one had a K on it. If it's the only one, there's no need to personalize it. If there are two you need to mark them S and K to tell them apart. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Man_from_U.N.C.L.E._gun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alpo Posted October 30, 2020 Share Posted October 30, 2020 25 minutes ago, Go West said: Jimmy does it again after a postage stamp is stuck over the hole I like that scene better in SUPPORT YOUR LOCAL SHERIFF. They are in the general store, arguing over Jim Garner's qualifications for sheriff, and he walks over to the hardware bin. He picks up a washer with about a half inch hole, tosses it up in the air, draws his gun, shoots, holsters his gun and catches the washer. He explains that that was just a display of marksmanship. Mayor Harry Morgan says he did not appear to have hit the washer. He said he shot through the hole. Harry puts a piece of tape over the hole and asked if he would mind trying that again. Jim said that he had already shot one hole in the roof, and Harry said not to worry about that. So he flips it up in the air, draws his gun, shoots, holsters the gun, and catches the washer, which he hands to Harry, who then stares with astonishment at the bullet hole through the tape.

Crazy Gun Barney, SASS #2428 Posted October 30, 2020 Share Posted October 30, 2020 And the Desert Eagle of Smith in The Matrix.... I thought Smith used the Desert Eagle to better effect and in a more menacing way, but that girl swinging around the mansion is more fun to look at....

I have one and they are real boat anchors, heavy but firing a puny cartridge packed with all of 11 grains of black powder. The cases can be made from a cut down .44 Russian, that’s how short they are. Seamus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
