I've watched a few movies in the last month, and I'd there's a few guns from them I'm not sure about. Sorry if this is too vague, but I don't have a way to get a screengrab on the first two. I can get them for Terminator if needed though.

1: If anyone's seen the B-Movie APEX, one of the soldiers, Sheppard, shoots one of the Sterilization Units with a Ruger Mini-14 Muzzelite, then a pistol, before killing it with what looks to be a Mossberg 500 Bullpup.

I thought his pistol was a Luger, but it looks more like some sort of .22 sports pistol. Anyone know what it is?

2: In Total Recall, the bad guys use what look like Uzis with additions to the front. They also sport TEC-9s, but the guns have the magazine in the pistol grip rather than where it is on the TEC. What is this gun called, and can anyone identify Richter's gun? I thought it was a MAC, but it looks too small.

3: In Terminator, Arnie uses an AMT Hardballer with a laser sight mounted to the top. Can anyone identify the laser and/or mount used, and anywhere that might sell them?

Thanks for looking.
 
2: Total recall, a cobray m-11 with some sort of part in the front to make it look from the future
3: terminator, Why?
 
They are movie guns. They have guys that sit around thinking this crap up to make it look cool. By the way, seen the new Glock 7.
 
Now that 1911 handgun with the laser installed in Terminator makes me laugh all the time. It 's like one big maglight hanging in front of the muzzle. What powers it? Two pieces of AA size batteries? :evil:

If you''ve seen the last installment of Blade starring Wesley Snipes, there are promotional posters of him carrying a handgun with several attachments. Even saw a solitaire maglight attached to his pistol (what is a flashlight powered by a single AAA size battery doing in a gun with a laser?). He has one bad ass sword, modified ingrams and whatever high tech pistols but to install a tiny flashlight in front makes me really laugh my hats off.:banghead:

That classic Die Hard movie by Bruce Willis is pathetic with the script on the Glock. Well, anyways movies are just there to entertain us. Darn and how well they did.
 
3: terminator, Why?

A friend of mine is looking at the brand new Western Arms Airsoft replica of the Hardballer, and I promised him I'd ask. He's a fan of Terminator and Resident Evil (which had pretty much the same gun/mount as the "Killer 7"), and I thought if anyone knew, it would be the experts here.

Yeah, the USP Matches he used in Blade 2 and Trinity. Always thought the original MAC he used looked the best.
 
That mega laser on the AMT was the old Laser Products laser. That was old school hi-tech. Laser Products went on to become Surefire if I recall correctly.
 
Cool. Do you know anything about the mount the pistol used?

We think that we can fit a newer laser into a tube for the same effect, but we're looking for the mount the Hardballer used.
