Favorite fictional movie gun

GamestopDorito · July 21, 2018, 03:36 PM

Even with the help of trained gun handlers, Hollywood gets it wrong more often than not with guns. But when it gets it right, the drama of a good movie gun can create one hell of an impression on a person. Like a little kid watching the way-too-R-rated Robocop at like age 6 with his dad.

Robocop's gun was a dressed-up Beretta 93R that popped out of a holster built into his leg.

Will never forget the scene with the cops at the range shooting their guns and Robocop walks in and blasts his gun on burst fire.

Some of the details of it were very silly (it supposedly had 50 rounds in the magazine) but I love it. Runners up are definitely that wild gun Decker had in Blade Runner that blew people through walls and the Pulse Rifle from Aliens.

How about you? What fake gun would you love to get your hands on?

1 - Bob Hoskin's (Eddie Valiant's) cartoon gun with the DumDum bullets in Who Framed Roger Rabbit
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kbRZKrvAZ7U
2 - any one of the guns in any movie that just doesn't seem to need reloading after being fired for an ungodly long time

On the other hand, I would NOT want any gun that is/was used by the forces of evil in the movies (ie - the guys that couldn't shoot straight)

M41A1 Pulse Rifle.

Not a gun exactly, but ED-209 is pretty much the ideal home defense weapon.

What makes you think they aren't?

WV_gunner · July 22, 2018, 08:37 PM

The only fictional gun I can think of from a movie is the Glock 7 from Die Hard II.

M88 · July 22, 2018, 09:37 PM

This one is easy... the circular grenade launcher Christopher Walken uses in his attack on the rebel camp near the end of the movie The Dogs of War. I don't THINK it's a real weapon, at least I can't find anything on it after digging around on Google... if anybody can help me on this, please do.

I like the look of the pistols the Tetragrammaton Clerics carried in Equilibrium.

Those are pretty cool

I like that they gave them a muzzle flash that resembled the symbol of the Tetragrammaton:

**JohnKSa** · July 23, 2018, 12:14 AM

Notice that from the back or front (not the sides) the flash pattern is in the form of the Tetragrammaton symbol. I don't think that's possible in the real world, but it's a nice touch for the movie.

I suppose the fact that I think the Beretta 92 is a good looking gun probably contributes to my affinity for the Equilibrium guns since they're obviously based on the Beretta 92 design, albeit heavily modified.

My favorite "fictional" gun is the Hamilton carried
by Paladin in the TV series of the same name. He
explains in various episodes that it is a hand-made
just for him six-shooter. But of course, it's nothing
more than a Colt Single Action Army with the
standard 7.5-inch barrel.

As the church lady might remark, "Well, isn't
that special."

Sorry to pick nits, but that was one of my favorite television westerns when I was young. The name of the show was Have Gun, Will Travel, not "Paladin."

Anytime (most of the time) you wonder about a TV or movie firearm,,,
Goto: imfdb.org

For example, the "circular grenade launcher" previously mentioned is actually a,,,
Manville 25mm Projectile Launcher.

Just tossing that out there.

I still like the old ones . A Spencer repeater with a box of a dozen loading tubes ! ! That was a potent force in those days ! 7X12 wow. Saw it only in a TV western buy that gun nut John Millius !

zxcvbob · July 23, 2018, 04:24 PM

the "Noisy Cricket" in MIB.

Jim Watson · July 23, 2018, 04:27 PM

I like the Babylon 5 PPG hand weapon. Once shot at an assailant through a window, it left him plastered against the far wall under a layer of melted glass.

I don't remember the title, but in an early BW TV movie, two factions of aliens agreed to send 5 entity teams to Earth to duke it out. Winner gets to invade Earth. Perfectly disguised as humans (Think of the savings in makeup.) each was equipped with a pair of sunglasses that would disclose enemy team members and a small hand weapon that killed. That's all, no flash, no blast, no disintegration or wound, just aim and squeeze, the target dies. Kind of like the Paratime Police Sigma ray needler. (Think of the savings in special effects.)
Spoiler: Last surviving team member on one side falls in love with a human. She leads him on until she can pick up his weapon and zap him. Closing scene is an up angle through his fallen sunglasses. She is glimmering in the enemy telltale.
