Line 1: |
| − | I worked on the movie. As far as I know no live firing weapons were used - everything that looks like a real gun is either airsoft, deactivated, or a complete fantasy. Most of the "Fantasy Rifles" were foam mouldings (which used plastic pudding pots, with attached lids, to simulated the capped ends of a scope!). The hero guns had tubing for CO2, which was pulsed through by an FX guy with a fire extinguisher piped up to the gun. The flashes are CGI.

| − | The handguns were airsoft with the trivial modification required to dry fire; you can see the little white blasts of gas, which was entirely appropriate to the director's ideas that everything was steam-powered.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | The enormous emplaced gun used by Pertwee's character had pneumatically-actuated shell ejection from a rotating belt of faux shells, the column of steam being created by a wallpaper stripper.

| − | And how did you miss El Jesus's shotgun! Made of two chunks of aluminium scaffold pole for barrels, and again with tubing for CO2 (note the moment where he and Jane's character go back to back). Ridiculously, shown firing repeatedly, even though it had the mechanism to show the double barrels being reloaded.
