Well thanks a lot George, last thread was easy -huh? This thread really re-enforces I may need to actually rent or go to the movies...I hear they are in color now I see the drive-ins are gone,does that mean the balconies are too?

19. Dirty Harry, model 29.

 

[buttrap]

Man I really need to dig in the VCR pile now. Seems to me 20 would be a K-98 in "the longest day'.
19- is Clint in his Dirty Harry .44 classic.
14- Gatling Gun...looks like a 45-70 possably
15- is just a guess but the Smith top break army model.
12- ahhh Faces?
8- thats Paul Newman in "Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid".
6- "The Outlaw Josey Wales"....M-96 mauser pistol.

"Die Hard" A HK P7 (not sure what variation; appeared to have nickel plating)

8. “I said I don’t have much use for them. I never said I don’t know how to use them.†Who is he, and what is he talking about?

Tom Selleck in "Quigley Down Under", referring to handguns.

19. Do you feel lucky, Punk? Was it 5 shots or 6?

"I know what you're thinking. Did he fire six shots or only five?" Clint Eastwood in "Dirty Harry". His gun was, of course, a 6 1/2" Smith & Wesson Model 29 .44 Magnum (although some accounts say the actual gun was a Model 57 in .41 Magnum).

11) a P7 variant in nickel or HC

[Nightcrawler]

1. The M41A Pulse Rifle used in the movie ALIENS is constructed from parts of what 3 other firearms?

An M1A1 Thompson and a Remington 870 Shotgun!

3. The shotgun used to exterminate the dogs in the movie Equilibrium, is really a what?

Walther WA2000!

4. During The Lobby Scene of The Matrix, Neo is firing two machine pistols at the same time while running; we see the brass from these guns landing at his feet. What is wrong with this? (2 main issues here)

He's firing Vz-61 Skorpion machine pistols for a lot longer than their 20 round magazines would permit, and .223 brass falls at his feet.

10. Truck Driver Jack Burton has bad taste in hair styles and guns… what kind of gun does he carry and what happened to his truck?

God, I haven't seen Big Trouble in Little China in forever. He used a TEC-9 and managed to bring the roof down on his head. His truck was stolen by Chinese triads/cults, but he got it back.

18. Laurence Fishburn uses a Glock 18 in what movie?

The Matrix Reloaded.

20. A clicker was used to signal friend or foe. Unfortunately it sounded just like something else. What was it and in what movie was it in?

Airborne troops in The Longest Day found out it sounds remarkably similar to the working of the bolt of a Mauser KAR98K.

Gene Hackman’s flick THE PACKAGE… What rifle does "The Package" use?

"This is Austrian, right?" RIGHT! 'Cause it's a Steyr AUG!


EDIT!!

16. Mr Saturday Night Fever while riding a train, breaks out a gun to shoot at a helicopter in what movie? What kind of gun is that?

That was Broken Arrow, but I'll be damned if I can remember what gun. He wasn't still using the folding-stock Ruger AC556F, was he?

11. What handgun does Hans Gruber use?

As was said, it was a nickeled HK P7.

 

[Moparmike]

Answered by a youngin with a penchant for war movies...

20.

The object was a childrens toy called the "Cricket", because it made a similar noise (although not portrayed in the movie well) as a cricket. Unfortunately for one character, the sound of a Mauser's bolt being cycled is deadly similar in "The Longest Day."

Dangit Nightcrawler. You beat me to it! I didnt even look at your post...Who's to say you didnt edit yours after you saw mine....

10) A (I hesitate to utter the words) tech nine....I like when he dove in a dark hole with a boot knife in his mouth....don't what he was gonna hit...but you knew what part of his anatomy was gonna get sliced!
11) P7
12) don't know that one
13) one that shot alot of bullet's? Unknown

4. In addition to the spent brass from the machine pistols being rifle casings, the casings simply fell to the floor rather than being ejected a few feet, as autoloaders do.

 

[Kevlarman]

That clicker dealie in The Longest Day was a hoot!

"But I heard two clicks!" *dies*

 

[hso]

In Big Trouble In Little China Jack Burton had a large 44 mag stainless (or nickel) S&W with a scope on it before the truck was stolen. ("I feel..kinda......invincible!! uttered before knocking self out with debris from shooting up ceiling with Tec-9 )

Drwaing a blank on this one...
