Unidentified

By the way, the letterbox is intentional, as the film switches aspect ratios to show which time period is being shown. Also, there are other bolt-action rifles throughout the film, but I just took the shots that showed them clearly. --ZaneTheDudeMan (talk) 23:50, 15 January 2015 (EST)

First cap looks like it might be a FN Model 1910, second looks like a Mauser 1914 Pocket Pistol, the rifles all seem like full-length Mauser Gewehr 98s; the last cap - EDIT - Well I thought it was a straight bolt handle at first but it looks angled down just a bit rather than dead straight. It's definitely not a Kar98k since it doesn't have the curved bolt nor recess in the frame. StanTheMan (talk) 00:02, 16 January 2015 (EST)

Also, the PP listed on the page is actually a PPK. StanTheMan (talk) 00:05, 16 January 2015 (EST)

The PPK is also of post war(at least 1960s) manufacture,as shown by the rounded nose of the slde and the rear sight not being integral with the slide.--Tecolote (talk) 22:41, 16 January 2015 (EST)

Ahem, just took a look at the Gew98 page (been a while since I last looked at that one) - The rifle in the last cap might just be one of the post-WWI re-issues like this one -

Post WW1 Weimar reissue Scharfschutzengewehr98 - 7.92x57mm Mauser. Note tangent-leaf rear sight, indicative of Reichswehr service.

If I may add my two cents here. The first one looks more like a Savage 1907 by the trigger guard and grips. The second one is definitely a Mauser 1914 Pocket Pistol, that front sight gives it away. The rifles in the third one look to be older Mauser type rifles, maybe Mauser 1871/74's. PaperCake 01:17, 16 January 2015 (EST)

The Savage and FN both look like they have near-identical trigger guards, don't see how you can distinguish between them with that shot. As for the grips, they are fairly clear on the right side, and they look like they have the screw midway up the grip and the oval FN logo at the top of the grip, just like the FN 1910 in this image, hence why I went with that (plus the mag floorplate looks right, as well) - StanTheMan (talk) 14:10, 16 January 2015 (EST)

FN Model 1910 .380 ACP

The Colt is not a New Service as it doesn't have the sharknose front sight of that model but has the half moon sight and short ejector rod know of an Official Police, a period correct one, too.--Tecolote (talk) 22:41, 16 January 2015 (EST)

Good catch, thanks! --ZaneTheDudeMan (talk) 23:33, 16 January 2015 (EST)

Film Summary

Hi there. Great job so far. Can you please put in a brief spoiler free Summary of the film, to put the screencaps and characters in some sort of context. :D Thanks. The page isn't technically finished until all those little details are done :D Thanks again. MoviePropMaster2008 (talk) 01:52, 17 January 2015 (EST)

Thumbnail size

The thumbnail size for handguns is preferrably 300 px, not 350 (only long pistols). Second, 600 px thumbnails are used only for "widescreen" screencaps, while "full screen" screenshots are 500 px (according to IMFDB Style Guide). Thx. --Pandolfini (talk) 09:47, 29 March 2017 (EDT)
