Talk:Payback

I thought you were getting better on extreme amounts of screencaps

Hey MPM, Gunmaster did a good job with the page. Most of the screencaps have quite good amount of commentary on the gun handling.-Oliveira 21:24, 16 June 2009 (UTC)

Yeah, I apoligize for the large amount of screencaps but I couldn't pass up the commentary. - Gunmaster45

Model 27 vs. Model 29

Smith & Wesson Model 27 Snub nosed revolver with 3.5" barrel - .357 magnum.Note the shorter cylinder and the very visible forcing cone.Also note the tapered barrel

Smith & Wesson Model 29 with 4" barrel.Note the larger cylinder and the heavy bull barrel.

S&W Model 28 Highway Patrolman with 4" bl.Note the dull blue finish

The pawn shop owner hands Porter a Smith & Wesson Model 29 from off the rack. His lack of gun safety is pretty obvious as he hands him the gun with the hammer cocked and his finger on the trigger.Edit: Note the brighter blue finish, the heavier barrel and the large cylinder that fills the frame.

Smith & Wesson Model 28 topstrap

Smith & Wesson Model 27 topstrap. Note the checkering.

Notice the difference between the cylinders. The forcing cone is very visible on the Model 27. The cylinder is shorter on the Model 27 and the barrel has a distinct taper on the 27. It does appear that Gibson is using a Model 27 when he is shooting up into the Asian gang's vehicle but it's a Model 29 at the beginning of the movie.Now it could be argued that he's using a Model 28 since the 28 does have the plain top strap like the Model 29. But the Modell 28 is just a plain jane version of the Model 27 with a matte blue finish. All the other previously described features still apply.The revolver used by Porter (at least in the beginning) has a bright blue glossy finish. Another mark of the earlier Model 29 revolver. --Jcordell 20:11, 1 August 2009 (UTC)

Model 27 vs. model 28

You're right. These two revolvers are pratical identical except for finish and the mark "Highway Patrolman" on the right side of the M28. But I think that the movie gun is an M27. - User:Charly Driver!Charly Driver

I belive that it's a Model 27/28 that Gibson is using when he's shooting up into the carload of Asian gangbangers. The cylinders looks shorter and the barrel appears to have a distinctive taper. But it's a Model 29 that he buys from the pawnshop at the beginning of the movie. --Jcordell 18:22, 4 August 2009 (UTC)

I agree with the M29 (I built the first version of the complete page I had chosen this revolver), I was talking of the gun scene of the Chinese gunfight. - User:Charly Driver!Charly Driver
