'Reign of Fire' is another good example of UK survival at it's best.
There is something odd about that film,because it featured L1A1 SLRs,stens,mp40s,Thompson smgs and of course Van Zan's Remington R Riot shotgun-but no SA80S-considering the fact that the first part of the film was set,just before the start of the apocalypse-in 2002.
L1A1s have been banned,for cillivian use and ownership, since 1989,and I know that the UK,doesn't have many left in any of the armed forces arsenal-so why is it that there are many in Reign of Fire????Reason why,not so many left,I think:because they sold them off to Africa.(This includes those taken from private ownership in 1988 and 1989-after the SLR ban.)
Quinns rifle looks like a Remington 700 or Winchester Model 70-that he could have taken,from any gun shop-on his travels.
Of course there is always the Birmingham Proof House and the Enfield Pattern-Room,which holds one of the best collections of firearms in the world.There might have been be live-firing models,still in there.
Has anyone in the UK seen the inside of those two places-they are huge? Also guess what,some of the once-legal handguns(That one belonged to civillian owners.) are in there-for research and development puposes-talk about theft or what?
The GCN members,would rather be chased and finally eaten by zombies-rather than fight with knives,swords and guns."No,that should be banned."
