I would like to know where you got your information from.

Some BTS stuff from random Joe's. http://transformers-3-movie-trailer.blogspot.com/ Shows Epps with a MagPul'd M4 and Glock, and someone with a modified AT4. Though I'm not sure where he's getting his. --Crazycrankle 19:52, 20 July 2010 (UTC)

i also want to say if the guns are wrong just change it or tell me what they are without any hassle ok? moviemaster1993

You need to realize that these IMFDB members are correct in questioning the legitimacy of any info which is not in the public realm (at least to their knowledge). If you are accessing a pre-release copy or in your case, the production's facebook photo gallery, then IMFDB protocols require that you disclose in the actual page where ANY pre-release info or images came from. They are not hassling you and you need to dial back your attitude a bit. MoviePropMaster2008 20:33, 20 July 2010 (UTC)

i don't mean now i mean everytime i attempted to add or change anything on a page the amount of hassle that is given by users is not that friendly i was just trying to prevent it from happening again i understand about image/news protocol don't worry lol i would do a smiley face but the colon is a space lol

They've been doing filming a big battle scene here in chicago and from what i saw, most of the strike team guys have M4s. -Winchester

Anyone know why Epps has orange stripes on his pants? -24guns

It looks like a set of work coveralls. I'm guessing he needed to blend in, or he said 'Fuck it, I ain't dealing with the fucking robots anymore'. --Crazycrankle 04:31, 21 July 2010 (UTC)

Lennox's ACR

I'm not sure if anyone else noticed this, but I am pretty sure that the ACR that Major Lennox (Josh Duhamel) has an extended upper rail, which is odd since the rail is directly integrated into the upper receiver. Now I haven't handled an ACR myself, but from what images I have seen of them, the rail would be shorter than the one shown in the stills. Is it just me? Or am I actually right on this?--1SAZ 05:35, 21 July 2010 (UTC)

The ACR is meant to be a very modular system like the AR-15 design. It has many barrel lengths and rail lengths, so this is a longer variant. And since this is supposed to be the military variant, then it's made by Remington, but we really can't tell since the only different between the Remington and the Bushmaster ACR is that the Remington fires full auto for the military and the Bushmaster is the exact same weapon but semi auto Excalibur01 05:59, 21 July 2010 (UTC)

I did know that Remington and Bushmaster produce the ACR, but I still haven't found an example of a lengthened rail upper. If someone did know where to find an example of such, I'd love to see it. Till then, I'll keep looking.--1SAZ 06:06, 21 July 2010 (UTC)

You won't find an example of an extended forend out there. They were made just for the show. -Phoenixent

Well the Entry carbine is the only one so far with the side rails, but it is possible these are unreleased longer type rail forends. Also the fore end is NOT integrated with the rest of the receiver. Excalibur01 06:53, 21 July 2010 (UTC)

I had the very first production one in my hands and they were made at a non-weapons related shop. The prototype was designed by the shows gunsmith. Also the ACR's have 14.5 inch barrels with an oversize muzzle extension. -Phoenixent

Epps' Pistol

If you look at Sgt. Epps' tac-vest, he has a full size Glock pistol in a holster. - Gunmaster45

That's what I put down, but it's a bit hard to tell which variant. Also, I don't know why I am doing all the hard work of getting the format and spelling and terms right for this page. It feel like I'm cleaning up someone's spill Excalibur01 06:21, 21 July 2010 (UTC)

Lennox is Soap

For some reason, Lennox's new hair style is reminding me of Soap MacTavish in Modern Warfare 2 Excalibur01 06:29, 21 July 2010 (UTC)

I'm not buying it. It doesn't look anything like Soap's 'hawk. The Wierd It 07:56, 21 July 2010 (UTC)

Ok, he has nothing on Soap's hawk. Excalibur01 14:01, 21 July 2010 (UTC)

Magpul products galore

Pmags both in 5.56 and 7.62, the ACR, and the Angled Foregrip are the things I've spotted from Magpul so far. How much am I going to bet the foregrip on Epps' M4 and their rifle slings are made by Magpul as well? Excalibur01 06:48, 21 July 2010 (UTC)

I agree with you, there is some serious Magpul product placement in this movie. But my quick identification on Epps' foregrip is Tango Down model. I forget the exact one. Also, you forgot to note the CTR stock and the MIAD on Epps' rifle, as well as the BUIS on pretty much all the rifles. But is Magpul product placement really a bad thing? --1SAZ 06:57, 21 July 2010 (UTC)

I did mention the CTR stock in another section. Also no, I LOVE Magpul products. This is awesome! Excalibur01 07:08, 21 July 2010 (UTC)

I'm glad we can agree on that. Magpul is just brilliant for quality and appearance (which in movies, always matters). I must say, from what I'm seeing so far, I'm going to like this movie just a bit more than the first two. Definitely more than the second, since it will have weapons that aren't too sci-fi. Of course, there's nothing wrong with sci-fi guns, but I like to see realistic weapons in the hands of the guys that are supposed to be playing military officers. And the "M4"s in Transformers 2 just looked a little weird. Cool, but weird. --1SAZ 07:16, 21 July 2010 (UTC)

I'm kinda hoping for a cameo by Travis Haley and/or Chris Costa. Why? Just because. --Crazycrankle 07:45, 21 July 2010 (UTC)

Would be awesome though. I can see the Magpul commercials now "Magpul. The offical gear to combat giant robots." Excalibur01 07:52, 21 July 2010 (UTC)
