Talk:Cop Target

I think that the "Python" revovler could actually be a Riva Esterina Black Widow. I am guessing this based on the fact that this is filmed in Italy and by the slope of the barrel rib (it is flatter on a real Python). I can't be sure though as it isn't shown well enough to see if it has the 5 round cylinder and S&W style release so I may be wrong. Also, what the hell is up with that FAL? It isn't an L1A1 as it has a half height handguard which leaves the gas piston exposed in a way that I have never seen before (it isn't an L1A1 handguard which has been chopped in half as the vents are in the wrong place). Based on the fact that there is no muzzle device I am imclined to say that it is some sort of weird sporter variant, but I have never seen anything like this before. Alse the gas block and front sight lookreally odd and tall, but i think this may just be an illusion caused by it lacking a handguard over the top. --commando552 (talk) 06:43, 10 January 2017 (EST)

The movie was filmed in Dominican Republic so I guessed that there could be genuine Pythons. But possibly it's some other model. Maybe a Taurus? I had a guess about Taurus Model 689 but the 4" barrel version has three holes in vent rib while the screen gun has two, like Python. I'll try to look additional screenshots, maybe we can see if the revolver is 5- or 6-shot. About FALs: similar FALs without muzzle breaks are seen in hands of Dominican military in late 1950s. The L1 version was based on two holes in stock and wooden buttstock of one rifle, but now I see that I was wrong.
