You are shooting the next summer blockbuster. What gun does your hero carry and why? What does the head bad guy have? How about the goons? Explain your decisions.

[arinvolvo]

The good guy has a steyr...because they need some screen time....a little advertisement neve hurts.

The main bag guy carries a desert eagle, because they look evil.

The goons carry HiPoints...because I dont want my good guy actually getting shot.:neener:

[Nightcrawler]

Berettas and Desert Eagles have ruled the screen for so long for a reason. They're big, they show up well on camera, and have distinctive, cool looking appearaces.

I like both pistols, so both might make it in there, though deployed more realistically (I'm assuming it's more challenging to rapid-fire a .50AE than it is to do so with a 9x19mm).

In any case, what the villain carries depends on what kind of scoundrel he is.

-The loud, crude, boisterous American type: Desert Eagle, chrome or Gold. Large revolver, or some other overlarge hand cannon.

-The snooty, well read, pompus Euro-villain: HK P7, PPK, or some other small european piece. Preferably either stainless or nickeled with Gold accents; nothing more powerful than 9mm.

-The faceless, suit-wearing goons of the bad guy organization: Some kind of ubiquous 9mm pistol, like the Glock 17. Maybe a .40.

-M.I.B.s: Enhanced, suit wearing baddies with special abilities (maybe they're cyborgs, or are super-strong/skilled for some other reason, ala Agents in The Matrix). These guys can pack a larger, more noticable pistol, and fire it as if it had no recoil. They're enhanced, after all. Desert Eagle, racegun of some sort, etc.

-The Tac Guys: Security Guys of the Bad Guy Organization. They wear black BDUs, body armor, tac vests, maybe balaclavas and/or kevlar helmets, etc. (In other words, Mall Ninjas.) They carry 9mm SMGs with 9mm pistols as backup. Some will have AR-15s and Benelli shotguns. MP5s are good SMGs for them to have.

-The Terrorists: less refined, more crude, less well trained. Uzis, AK-47s, MAC-10s.

-The Renegade Government Agent: Disaffected US government type. Carries a Sig.

[Nightcrawler]

My hero, based on me, of course, but better looking, more skilled, etc., would have similar tastes. A CZ-97, a .41 Mag revolver, and a FAL. :evil:

[client32]

Easy. They will carry whatever the highest bidding gun company wants them to carry. As arinvolvo stated, a little advertisement never hurts.

[slh02]

I always find it proper for the hero to have a beretta 92 and the villain to have a chrome Hk p7. Guess its the result of being an 80's child. :D

[cool45auto]

Hero: Two 93R's! (deja vu :scrutiny: ) The cool factor would be unbelievable

BG: HyPoint 9mm :D (Don't want them to have a real gun :evil: )

[gbelleh]

I'd like to see a movie where the Hero is a vigilante clown and conceals 2 MP5Ks inside a pair of oversized clown pants. He could also have special guns hidden in his big red shoes, and a gun on his lapel shaped like a flower.

The antagonist would be the bearded lady. She would have a never ending supply of Derringers, pepper boxes and other assorted mouse guns concealed in her beard. (NY reloads all day long)!!!

[blades67]

The good guys and the bad guys get to use the same weapons, but the good guys win because it's a movie.:rolleyes:

[sig970]

Simply, Isn't Beretta the firearm of choice in Hollywood?

[Phyphor]

Due to the relative ease of blank-adapting it, yes.

Plus, it's pretty reliable at feeding crimped blanks, (after all, it's not too dramatic to have an actor dive forward trying to clear a FTF in each hand. :D )

[Mike Irwin]

He doesn't carry a gun.

He carries a walkie talkie.

It's a movie directed by Speilblurg...

[gbelleh]

He doesn't carry a gun. He carries a walkie talkie. It's a movie directed by Speilblurg...

Reminds me of that South Park episode where they show a clip of the beach scene from Saving Private Ryan where Speilburg had all the guns replaced with walkie talkies! :D :D

[seeker_two]

HERO: S&W Model 29 x2 in double-shoulder rigs. Winchester 92 in .44Mag. .44SPL Derringers in each sleeve. Silver bullets loaded in all. Sticks of TNT lit w/ cigar in his mouth. Silver-coated tomahawk & Bowie knife.

MAIN VILLIAN: Magic spells & poor dialogue.

HENCHMAN: Vampires w/ Glocks.

LOCATION: The Gates of Hell (or Los Angeles--no diff...:D )
