Latest revision as of 18:49, 9 December 2020
Equalizer
Does anyone know what compensators/shrouds were used on the weapon?. Also its possible the exact Colt Model 653 was also used in the movie Mission Terminate but with the front barrel shroud.
- The compensator looks the same that is used on mocked up M16. I guess they are made of some metal scrap. Greg-Z (talk) 02:23, 3 June 2017 (EDT)
Hayward's revolver
I have a strong suspiction that Hayward's revolver is not Colt Python but rather Philippine produced Armscor M210 (AKA Armscor Special Edition), based on Colt Diamondback: [1], [2], [3]. The shape of the front sight of the screen gun exactly matches the Armscor revolver. Can anybody confirm or decline this guess? Greg-Z (talk) 13:09, 30 May 2017 (EDT)
- The front sight is complitely differ from Python, and this movie was filmed in Philippines, but the screen gun (just for me) has slightly differ front sight from Armscor samples: the armscor revolver has large front sight, that smoothly passing to the picatinny rail, while the screen gun has front sight, that stepped turns to picatinny rail (maybe, it's just optical illusion).
