Favorite firearm(s) from movies, tv shows, etc.?

[38-45 Special]

Although firearms are often portrayed as the proverbial "Zeus's Thunderbolt" in movies, tv shows, etc., one can't deny that the weapons that the heroes (and villains) in these movies and tv shows use often exemplify their characters. Which character's signature weapon(s) from any movie and/or tv show is your favorite? I'm speaking in terms of firearms from movies and such that are based on REAL firearms, not ones from sci-fi films and stuff of that nature such as plasma rays, or the Proton Pack from Ghostbusters or anything like that.

For me, my all time favorite movie firearms would be Snake Plissken's Model 629s from Escape from L.A. (Gotta love that Bangkok rules scene too).

Favorite firearm from a tv show has to be Sonny Crockett's Bren Ten from Miami Vice. Pretty interesting history about the gun as well, for anyone who cares enough to read up on it.

[Phrog Driver]

MM1 Jake Holman's (Steve McQueen) BAR in The Sand Pebbles. TV? SGT Saunders' (Vic Morrow) Thompson in COMBAT!

 

[AZAndy]

Chuck Connor's 1892 Winchester in The Rifleman. It's the reason I have a Rossi '92 today, though it took me forty years to realize I was incomplete without it. Mine's a .357, not a 44-40 like his, but I'm not him anyway. Heck, I don't even play baseball.

Trivia tidbit: Mr. Connors was one of very few people who played for both the NBA (Celtics) and MLB (Cubs). Too bad neither let him use his rifle.

 

[Dibbs]

Marshal Dillon's SAA. With the jigged bone grips. I don't think he ever fired more than three shots from it, at one time, in the whole series.

 

[Poper]

Han Solo's Star Wars bar scene handgun.

I gotta get me one of those!

 

[magyars4]

I like em all, so long as they're the ones that never run out of ammo!

 

[AlexanderA]

Dolores' sniper rifle from the just-ended Westworld season 4. The sighting system included a small drone that could be released, fly to the target, and send back firing coordinates. The gun could then hit targets that were not directly visible.

From the finest piece of Sci-Fi cinema to every grace a silver screen.

M41A pulse rifle: I wanna introduce you to a very personal friend of mine. This is an M41A pulse rifle. Ten millimeter with over-and-under thirty millimeter pump action grenade launcher. -Corporal Hicks

Did you mean "Ol' Painless" the GM M134 Minigun carried by Sergeant Blain Cooper? I don't believe there was a M249 Saw in the original Predator.
