[Shooter 2.5]

As promised, movie guns and I might as well add television firearms. From Quigley, Down Under to Romeo and Juliet[!]. Who had the most recognizable firearm in the media? Who bought a gun just because it was in a movie? Which gun outshined the stars?

"The Jackal" with Bruce Willis:

[Joe Brower]

I never knew what that pistol was called; it looks kinda like a modern HK to me.

CB was one of a kind, and Spike was one of the best characters in anime. Also, Yoko Kanno's music (with "The Seatbelts") was very rich and diverse; I bought the whole OST on CDs.

[Little Ray]

I like the FN-90s they use in StarGate.

[Lurker]

The Martini-Henry rifle from the movie "Zulu".

And the M1 Garand from just about every WWII movie ever made.

[Atlas Sneezed]

Unsuppressed version of the AUG was used by the late Alexander Godunov (long blond hair guy) as a villain in Die Hard.

[WakeUpAndVote]

I stand corrected.

[beltfed308]

It’s a suppressed Steyr AUG in .223 but I don’t know if it starred in any movie.

In the first Die Hard they had an Aug in a minor role. :>)

[Inyo-Mono]

Kinda funny, but that's a Winchester Model '94 pictured on the movie poster from Winchester '73. Hollywood did stuff like that all the time in Westerns.

Exactamundo!

[ExSoldier]

In the first Die Hard they had an Aug in a minor role.

That was the one where the ballet star who played a terrorist (Alexander Gudonov?) used one to stitch a part of an internal A/C duct to kill Officer McClane for the death of his brother earlier. Of course he fired just short of McClane's position. Right?

[beltfed308]

Of course he fired just short of McClane's position. Right?

You win a kewpie doll!

Fregards

[SoDak]

Thank you. The Winchester ‘73 was the first thing that came to mind for me. Or, well, any Winchester.

[Weya]

I’m gonna say “Aliens” (with Sigourney Weaver...YUMM!).

Though I think the undermount is a grenade launcher.

One of my favorite exchanges from Zulu:
Colour Sergeant Bourne: It’s a miracle.
Lieutenant John Chard: If it’s a miracle, Colour Sergeant, it’s a short chamber Boxer Henry point 45 caliber miracle.
Colour Sergeant Bourne: And a bayonet, sir, with some guts behind.

[Weya]

From "Alien Vs Predator: Requiem"

[Lurker]

I will watch that movie absolutely any time it's on.

It's one of my all time favorites.

[Weya]

One more: My personal carry and from "Assault on Precinct 13" (2005)

[Tennessee_Bob]

Got it on DVD over here. I’ve already sat at watched it once with the baby. I’m bringing her up right. :)

I remember the lesson I learned from my dad the first time it was on television. “Son, this is what disciplined fire power can do in the face of a numerically superior enemy. Remember this.”

Found out recently why it was so important to him. He went through a couple human charges in Korea as a BAR Gunner.

[Doomonyou]

Say Cheese!

[Future Snake Eater]

Yeah, it's the rifle used by the Colonial Marines in "Aliens" and all other associated stories. The undermount is a grenade launcher in the movies/stories, but in reality it's a SPAS 12 shotgun (I just looked it up).

Another "Aliens" WWII weapons:

The M56A2 Smart Gun--a converted German WWII MG42.
