Talk:The American

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe he pulls a compact Beretta from a woman's purse in one fo the trailers. -- K 98.118.59.244 22:22, 22 August 2010 (UTC)

Yeah, it did look like a Beretta Jetfire or something similiar. --Ruzhyo 05:03, 27 August 2010 (UTC)

It was his Hooker's girlfriend. The movie was moving slow so I didn't get a good look at it but he finds it in her purse. Also, for a uber-gunsmith am I the only one who finds it pathetic the best he can come up with is a Mini-14 for something "with the functionality of a sub-gun and the accuracy of an assault rifle [sic]?" It doesn't spoil anything for those who feel like wasting their money but the parameters she gives if I can remember correctly are:

- Target is at 150 to 175 yards - "Silenced" to which for Clooney's part he suggests suppressed - Rapid fire - Able to fit in a vanity bag. Clooney amends it to a briefcase.

If I was the uber-gunsmith I would probably come up with something a little better. And because he has the barrel shipped to him he might as well just dish out for a nice supressor from AAC as opposed to running around town collecting parts.

And you'd have left an easy to follow paper trail, not exactly something an assassin wants. Buying a suppressor is something entirely different to buying a gun. speaking about the Ruger, it's a weapon that wouldn't leave a distinct paper trail, as opposed to more fanciful weapons fitting that description.

Might be my eyes playing tricks on me but it looked to me like he had a PPK/S in Sweden and a PPK in the Italian scenes. I would not even consider this a huge continuity gaffe - perhaps he ditched one in transit.
