Ever wanted to know what gun was in what movie? Or videogame? What gun does Al Pacino shoot Tom Sizemore with in heat? What guns are in Rainbow Six:Vegas 2?
Find of the week for me. Git yer gun porn on!
That’s actually kind of cool. I’ve never been into guns myself but I have a friend who is really really into guns. He would like that sort of thing.
Huh. They say that Castor Troy used a Stechkin APS in the church shootout at the end of Face/Off, but in the making of documentary they said it was a Bizon. I was always pretty sure they were wrong, what with the Bizon being way bigger, but hey, who am I to correct John Woo?
Yay! The America that skewed the message of “Born of the U.S.A.” has not gone away. Hurray for willful ignorance.
What?
Hurray for reflexive and irrelevant America-bashing!
He means willful ignorance of what gun was used in Face/Off. He’s a huge Woo fanboi (and Woo is a known Springsteen fanboi).
This or this or this or this or this or this or this or this or this or this or this. I wonder how a Hotel Rwanda entry would go over.
Okay.
…
What?
I get what dashingly is getting at, but I think s/he is confusing an enthusiasm for firearms with a warmongering bloodlust. The two need not go hand-in-hand, but I’m sure most everyone knew that.
I don’t see this as any different than the people that care about what car was in a movie or what dress Dorothy wore in Wizard of Oz.
If dashingly wants to reinforce his already marginal 98 post status by making this a political issue, then that’s his problem.
Witch hunt! Witch hunt!
Please! More like a bug hunt.

Witch = helpless girl or lady.
Bug = KREEEEEE
Excellent site! Thanks for the link.
Also, I wasn’t aware that only Americans were gun enthusiasts.
I haven’t read it yet, but I really can’t wait to see how much Hard Boiled gets torn apart for its hysterical depictions of firearms.
Only Americans that don’t actually pay attention to Springsteen lyrics are gun enthusiasts. The NRA actually has a quiz about the meaning of a few Springsteen songs, and if you score too high, you’re not allowed to join. True story.
This doesn’t apply to other bands, though. A decidedly non-gun-enthusias friend of mine didn’t know what the Sabbath “Iron Man” lyrics got at, for example. Gun enthusiasts are allowed to either misinterpret Sabbath songs or not–that’s optional. It’s a tricky field, no question about it.
They don’t even try to classify that break-open derringer with the long-ass barrel that the bad guy balances on the back of his hand. I was so disappointed.
