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)

.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)
