Nice clean set up! :cool:

[WhoKnowsWho]

Very nice!

Now if only we could shoot both just as well in the movies...

[Skunkabilly]

You need 4! HONG KONG RELOAD! REEEHAWWW!!!! :D

Umm....you gonna switch out the grip screws so they match? ;)

Whoknowswho, I can shoot Hong Kong style ;)

[Amish]

You could fit 10 mags in that case. That would be more John Wooish.

[boofus]

Once I tried to John Woo with a Springfield XD-40 and a USP45 and I almost shot my USP with the XD. :banghead:

In the movies the guns never recoil that bad :neener:

[Min]

That's not a John Woo set-up, that's an "Equilibrium" set-up.

[tlhelmer]

Please explain John woo!?

[Skunkabilly]

*Chow Yun Fat gives a nod of approval*

Gong sounds.

TLHelmer, John Woo is a Hong Kong action flick director infamous for the Beretta in each hand. I think he moved to the US, and some of his American movies are Faceoff and Replacement Killers.

[twolf]

john Woo has done films like Face-Off, MI2, Replacement Killers. One of the signature trade marks of John Woo is the double guns from behind the back.

With my dopey brother at the helm of the video camera.

nah Min, those puppies have to be heavily compensated 93's with a full auto feature in place of the 3-rd burst to be Equilibrium..... And lets not forget the self-righting clips...

[Skunkabilly]

If you guys are gonna "Woo" you'll need a pair of easily-visible firearms with class, like a matched pair of .45's:

Now I just gotta get that leaping sideways through the air while firing with both hands trick down. Maybe the local indoor range will let me borrow their training bay for this? :scrutiny:

[Skunkabilly]

Dammit DSK, I STILL haven't seen the new rollmark Colts in person at ANY gunstore :banghead:

Are these things photoshop concoctions and everyone's playing some trick on me? Wheres my tinfoil hat smilie

[dsk]

You need to get out of enemy territory first. I read where Arnold Swarsawhatever is think of running for governor of CA. Either he'll give in to the REAL terminator (Diane Fienstein) or he'll do us all a favor and wipe out the whole legislature with a mini-gun.

[Skunkabilly]

DSK, AFAIK they are approved in CA, but I just haven't seen 'em on the shelves. :(

[tlhelmer]

Thanks guys.

Skunk,

I didnt know you had a vertec as well.

How does it compare to the original?

[cool45auto]

Zekeluvs1911: Sweeeet!! I've got my eye on a 92FS in a local pawn shop so I can pull a Chow Yun Fat myself!

Skunk: That Vertec sure does look good next to Nina! You named it yet?

[another48hrs]

ZekeLuvs1911 where are the white doves? :D

[faustulus]

Replacement Killers

Actually that was an Antoine Fuqua film. Woo produced it but didn't direct.
His American films include, Hard Target an awful Jean Claude Van Dammn flick; Broken Arrow, a passable movie with Christian Slater and John Travolta; Face/Off, again with Travolta but not about hockey; Mission Impossible 2 and Windtalkers.
Needless to say his reputation did not stem from these films. He made his name in Hong Kong directing some of the greatest choreographed action scenes ever. One viewing of "The Killer," "Hard Boiled," "A Better Tomorrow Parts I and II," and "A Bullet in the Head" and you will never look at American action scenes the same again. Most of these are avaliable on video in America.

[ZekeLuvs1911]

White Doves are sitting in a cage ready to go!

Skunk,
I left the grip screws in place because I made one of the pistols a lefty mag release and how would I tell with a glance? ;)

[Skunkabilly]

Just picked it up at 6:20 last night. I never owned a 92FS, but compared to the Elite II, it has no personality. More of a 'bidness' gun. All work and no play.

Skunk: That Vertec sure does look good next to Nina! You named it yet?

Nope, no name yet.

ZekeLuvs1911 where are the white doves?

And the bad guys with the white disco suits?

DO NOT GET THE DUBBED VERSIONS!!! If you rent it, get the original Cantonese subtitled version. The remakes SUCK. Hard Boiled has to be the longest action sequence ever.

Just make sure you have the correct one in each hand when you start your John Woo sideways leap. Otherwise once each 15-rounder becomes empty you might fumble getting the mags out, and hit the floor before you can finish your sideways airborne reload drill. Ouch!

dsk, the airborne reload drill is Old Skool. New Berettas have tungsten weighed baseplates that when they land, the mags face up. You toss it into the room like a flashbang, then hose like a mofo, then do cartwheels and land on the mags to reload. Also known as the Equilibrium Reload.

Or there is the trusty Hong Kong Reload. Like a New York Reload x2.

[Amish]

Face Off is one of the best action movie in history. It's what got me into guns.

[ZekeLuvs1911]

Amish,
You need to rent and watch "The Killer" and "Hard Boiled" with Chow Yun Fat in it. It has some of the most intense shootouts in it that puts any American Action movie to shame!

[firestar]

NICE 92s! I don't think I have ever seen a ugly Beretta. They have class and style that some can't seem to understand.

Those 1911s look like crude and ungainly next to the Berettas. I never noticed how ugly 1911s were until I saw them in the same thread as the Beretta.:what:

[faustulus]

reloads, John Woo don't need no stinking reloads. except when the good guy and the bad guy end the sequence with their guns pointed at each other. ;)

[Skunkabilly]

except when the good guy and the bad guy end the sequence with their guns pointed at each other.

That's a common problem. On Beretta forums, about once every two months, someone says they just got their first Beretta but their slides aren't locking open. Problem is the thumb riding on the slide stop.

Hong Kong doesn't require pistols to have loaded chamber indicators :D

[another48hrs]

Oh I forgot to say, those are some sweet 92s and great setup Zeke.

"reloads, John Woo don't need no stinking reloads. "

I wonder which has more ammo Chow Yung Fat's Tokarevs in the tea house scene in Hard Boiled or Bruce Willis' 1911s in Last Man Standing? :confused:

[twolf]

Rambo: First Blood Part 2

I like Sly but he shoots somewhere in the neighborhood of 3 million rounds in this movie and never reloads. Then to let you know how pissed he is, he picks up a 30 mm chain gun off of a Hughie and shoots up his own base. He must have had lots of adrenalin, those things weigh about 700 pounds unloaded and talk about luck, whereas the normal ones are electrically primed due to firing rate, this one wasn't and had a trigger to boot.

The only other Sly sequel I'm waiting for is Rocky Part 50, Rocky fights Social Security!

:evil:

[TrapperReady]

Nice pair of backup guns you've got there.

What do you carry as your primaries?;)
