Talk:Arrow

Isn't Deadshot just a Batman villain? Why is he in a Green Arrow series?

He was originally a Batman villain, but since then he has expanded and has appeared all across the DCU. He is probably best known now for the Suicide Squad and Secret Six comics, which are stand alone and are not tied to any other comic in particular, just a bunch of villains/anti-heroes doing their own morally ambiguous thing. More of a head-scratcher is the fact that they decided to make Huntress Arrows first love interest. As far as I can remember this has never happened in the comics, and its not like their is a shortage of women that Green Arrow has hooked up with that they could have chosen from. --commando552 (talk) 15:20, 11 December 2012 (EST)

Maybe they just didn't read their source material. I'm pretty sure Arrow dates Black Canary.

Batman villain "Firefly" has a flamethrower in an upcoming episode. --Btgr (talk) 01:23, 4 January 2013 (EST)

Slade used 1911's akimbo in the latest episode customized a bit, someone else would have to confirm the make I can never tell--Iceman (talk) 14:20, 23 March 2013 (EDT)

Rotary grenade launcher

I don't think that grenade launcher is a Milkor. The Milkor reloads by twisting the chambers to the side, wheras this gun clearly "breaks" with the chambers and barrels pivoting down. Also there appears to be too much receiver behind the chambers and the stock attaches diferently. It appears to be a Deftech but the chambers are too long, anyone have any other ideas? My guess is that maybe it's Penn Arms L-6 with the plastic shroud removed from the front of the cylinder. --commando552 (talk) 17:22, 31 January 2013 (EST)

I'll wait for others to comment for further change. I think that it's parts of a Milkor with another GL. Ominae (talk) 18:30, 31 January 2013 (EST)

Looks to me like a DefTech 37mm rotary launcher mocked up to look like a Milkor. Kinda like the way that the "M249" is a Daewoo K3 with M249 PIP accessories. -MT2008 (talk) 15:32, 1 February 2013 (EST)

Not 100% as it is a judgement thing, but I think the chambers are too short for it to be a Deftech. I have only ever seen Deftechs with long chambers (8 inch I think) whereas I think the chambers on this are shorter (6 inches?) ones like you can get on Penn Arms or Sage Control launchers. Does anyone know who originally invented this launcher, as basically the same launcher is marketed by several different companies with slight variations. --commando552 (talk) 18:51, 1 February 2013 (EST)

If you look at the launchers used in The Incredible Hulk the chambers are considerable longer than the ones seen here. However this could be a RAP4 launcher which, though it is externally similar to a Milkor, it is in fact a paintball launcher. --Charon68 (talk) 22:27, 1 February 2013 (EST)

If you read the description for that grenade launcher you will see that it is actually a single shot grenade launcher which has been mocked up with fake chambers. If you look at the last screenshot with Blonsky firing it you can clearly see the external hammer, along with the rear of the actual chamber which is well behind the cylinder. --commando552 (talk) 07:00, 2 February 2013 (EST)

I found this link though. Although it may mean nothing. Ominae (talk) 18:44, 5 February 2013 (EST)

On the top of the Milkor there is a tube, which is effectively an axis which the two halves of the launcher pivot around. When you reload it everything forward of the rear plate of the cylinder rotates out to the side, sort of like a typical revolver but where the hinge is at the top and the barrel moves with the cylinder. I think you are seeing the image you linked to wrong if you still think it is the one in the show. In the first Arrow image where you see it being loaded, the cylinder have pivoted downwards from the rear of the launcher like on a top break revolver. --commando552 (talk) 19:33, 5 February 2013 (EST)
