The LAPD's Pflager Katsumata Series-D Blaster.

Special issue to Blade Runners for retirement ceremonies.

The most powerful handgun in the world, the Podbyrin 9.2mm from Red Heat.

Actually a modified Desert Eagle Mk I made to look somewhat like an overgrown Walther P38.

What I hate is when someone gets shot in a movie and they go flying backwards. Uhmm.. ever hear of physics?

Jim Watson · July 25, 2018, 02:57 PM

I wonder, did the writer know that a "9mm Makarov" is really 9.2mm?
After all, magnumizing a standard caliber is common in the real gun business.

It does make a nice earth-shattering kaboom.

Movie was IIRC named Sabata, weapon a banjo with with a rifle built in.

It’s been fiction longer than reality:

In a few years/ decade the naval railgun will be a global reality:

It would be a pretty big coincidence otherwise. Although it would be a push to get the Mak past .44 Magnum territory (directly compared in the film). Sort of like working with a ".380 magnum". I think you'd have nothing of the Mak left except bore size.

Somebody did note that "Podbyrin" is not a Russian name. It's just a made-up word meant to sound Eastern European exotic.

Roy Rogers' SAA that never needed reloading.
"...don't think that's possible in the real world..." Nope, but anything is possible in movies and TV.

aarondhgraham · July 26, 2018, 03:29 PM

I've always wondered if this was ever done in real life,,,
Or was it a complete Hollyweird creation.

My grandfather had an old Mauser that was cut down like that,,,
But he only did it because the barrel was bent.

That was the loudest fieryarm I ever fired.

I'm pretty sure it was a Hollywood creation. That was the period when it seemed like every TV western hero (or anti-hero) had to have some kind of trademark weapon. Bat Materson had the Buntline Special (which actually was an historical firearm). The Rifleman had the bog-loop Winchester with the screw in the trigger guard so it fired as the loop closed. Then Chuck Conners starred in "Branded," in which he carried his former cavalry officer's sabre, which had been broken when he was kicked out of the Army, resharpened into a knife with a cavalry hilt. The Lone Ranger had his silver bullets. Lash LaRue had his whip. Some other cowboy hero wore two guns, butts forward (Wild Bill Elliott?). Shotgun Slade didn't carry a six gun. (You might be able to guess what he did carry.) Johnny Ringo carried a version of the LeMat revolver. Johnny Yuma carried a sawed-off shotgun.

And Steve McQueen had the Mare's Leg. It was actually chambered in .44-40, so the cartridges in the cartridge belt didn't fit it but they were there to look more impressive. I was a kid at the time, I didn't know any better.

"He was looking for a Hawken gun, .50 caliber or better."

The ones that never miss, never jam and never needs to be reloaded.

natman · July 27, 2018, 10:04 AM

Phased plasma rifle in the 40 watt range.

Sean Connery's Webley Fosbery semiauto revolver in Zardoz. The blanks used don't generate enough recoil to cock it, so he fires it single action. Still looks very cool.

Johnny Ringo's Le Mat revolver.

Well, not exactly, but Winchester did make the 1892 Trapper carbine with a 12" barrel. But it had a regular carbine butt stock on it. Fun to shoot, but LOUD!

I wasn't aware of that version,,,
IMFDB did say that his Mares Leg was an 1892,,,
I wonder if his gun might have been one of those with a cut-down stock?

Not sure if it was in the movie, but it was in the game DOOM. Ladies and gents I present the BFG.

The Chem-Rail from Elysium was badass.

**4V50 Gary** · July 30, 2018, 07:44 PM

Griz - I actually held that Minigun that Arnauld used in that flick. It was something like 75 lbs. Got to hold the AK used in the original Red Dawn ("Wolverines!").

Oh, yeah, the guy who directed that movie is nuts about guns. His weapons (real and alien) in District 9 were great too.
