Where Does Hollywood Get The Guns?

They are making a sequel to Band Of Brothers?

The increasing difficulty in Hollywood getting modern machineguns led to a recent bill that proposed exempting major movie studios from the 922(o) post-'94 machinegun ban.

At one time studios (major ones) had their own armory, but today most guns are obtained from rental sources. Same for big stuff ... GI vehicles, tanks, artillery ...

Also in movies where there are a lot of arms ... most are non-working replicas. There are only a few working guns and the rest is just "artful" film making.

I've seen Winchester saddle rifles (1894 Western) with provenance, photos for sale at gun shows. They're fully working models used in John Wayne movies.
