Thank Michael Mann. Guy does great research. David Mamet (The Unit, Spartan, Ronin, House of Games, etc.) is another one who does the right thing.
If we could just get the Foley artists (sound guys who do footsteps, breaking necks, etc.) to not add the sound of a revolver being cocked when an actor rips a glock or sig out of their holsters.
Crocket carried a Bren 10!
I remember one episode where there was a sniper who not only
had an authentic rifle it was also a left hander. In another the
troops in some banana republic were carrying AK 74s (which I assume were doctored up 47s) when none that I know of
were on the civilian market.

Hmmm accurate depictions of firearms. Perhaps having G Gordon Liddy on the show was useful in more ways than one
John Milius is another one who generally gets things right. Wikipedia (another way of saying "YMMV" - in spades ;>) currently suggests that he's the president of PETA - if true, I guess he's just another Hollywood whack job who happens to know a little something about firearms...
