Talk:Kong: Skull Island

1911

I don't think that's a 1911 sam jackson is using in that screenshot, looks more like a colt 1903 hammer --Toadvine (talk) 00:32, 25 July 2016 (EDT)

I think it looks like a Colt 1902 Model. [[1]]--Bad Boy (talk) 00:37, 25 July 2016 (EDT)

Yeah I think you're right--Toadvine (talk) 01:37, 25 July 2016 (EDT)

M16

Granted it's a blurry shot, but it looks to have the three-prong flash hider which would make it more likely an M16/SP1. StanTheMan (talk) 01:51, 25 July 2016 (EDT)

Yeah, I saw one in the BTS footage too, but I think there was also a birdcage.--Quarax (talk) 02:37, 25 July 2016 (EDT)

To be fair the SP1 can have (and is indeed seen) with A1-style flash-hiders as well as 3 prong. We really need a shot of the receiver to positively confirm. StanTheMan (talk) 16:21, 25 July 2016 (EDT)

The rifle in the second cap definitely has a forward assist, so that is an A1 (or perhaps an XM16E1, though that's less likely). The other one still has the 3-prong, making me think it's still an SP1. It could be an XM16E1 or even an A1 with the older flash hider fitted but both are very unlikely (the latter very much so). That said I think the two should be listed separately for the time being. StanTheMan (talk) 15:10, 18 August 2016 (EDT)

Can someone remind me when 30 round mags were introduced? Did they come out before or after the M203 was put into service? Excalibur01 (talk) 10:18, 9 March 2017 (EST)

.50

I call bullshit on Kong surviving barrages from a .50 cal, I get godzilla, he has scales and those are magnified what 100 times from like a gator, but Kong is just a huge ape, he has no protection, I hope they do something like Helos and planes can't fly on the island due to magnetic fields or some other cop out,so that Kong goes against only the main characters, that would be realistic,but a whole carrier a 60-70's era military would kill Kong in a few seconds.

Well, to be fair, the shot shows no indications that Kong is the one they are firing the .50 cal at. The trailer showed a giant spider like creature, and I do not doubt we'll see some of Skull Island's more notorious creatures. -User:1morey August 18, 2016 4:20 PM (EST)

We saw how the original Kong got killed from machine gun bullets from bi-planes and those were smaller caliber than the .50 Excalibur01 (talk) 17:08, 18 August 2016 (EDT)

Granted, this Kong is MUCH bigger than Peter Jackson's Kong, about Godzilla size. Mr. Wolf (talk) 01:39, 19 August 2016 (EDT)

Cross your fingers for a Godzilla vs King Kong made by Legendary Pictures crossed with Pacific Rim Excalibur01 (talk) 14:54, 19 August 2016 (EDT)

Well, they already have Godzilla 2 (With Rodan, Ghidorah, and Mothra scheduled for 2018) and Godzilla vs. Kong for 2020. I think Pacific Rim should be its own thing, didn't really care for it. -User:1morey August 20, 2016 8:37 AM (EST)

Please help ID

Please help ID this flare gun. --Ben41 (talk) 01:58, 8 March 2017 (EST)

It looks like a Type 10 japanese one--Death Shadow20 (talk) 08:48, 8 March 2017 (EST)

I really doubt that a Hollywood prop company could get their hands on a fairly rare Type 10 Japanese flare gun, and while this looks close to it, it isn't. The finish is too dark and too nice looking for a fairly rare flare gun, combo that with the evident lanyard loop, different grip angle and much larger trigger guard, it looks to be an Orion Flare Gun that's being made to look like a period flare gun by being painted black.- PaperCake 13:54, 8 March 2017 (EST)

Yeah, that curved grip definitely makes me think Orion.--H3nry8adger1982 (talk) 19:52, 8 March 2017 (EST)H3nry8adger1982
