Talk:Batman: Arkham City

Is it just me, or is the rail handguard on the AR-15-thing copied from the Diplomats in The Expendables? It's out of scale, but that's just because they threw a G36 carry handle on the top. Anyway, Cash has a "hero" high-detail version, I'll get a cap when I'm home from work. Evil Tim 20:39, 21 October 2011 (CDT)

On another note, Two Face's pistol looks like it shares quite a few elements with the Bul Cherokee. --K 12:32, 22 October 2011 (CDT)

Too me it looks like a hybrid of a 2nd Gen Glock 17 (overall shape), a CZ 97 (trigger, exposed hammer, beaver-tail, and thumb-safety), and a STI Edge (slide serrations). - Mr. Wolf 04:36, 23 October 2011 (CDT)

Anti-Personnel Proximity Mines

Towards the end of the game, Tyger private military contractors deploy proximity mines which may kill the player with shrapnel if he ventures too close. They shout, "Priming Explosive!" whenever a new one is added to a location where Batman has already been sighted. I know that these aren't truly considered firearms, but perhaps someone could add a section on them?

I don't think they're based on any real mine, I admit I haven't looked closely but they seemed to just be a disc with a flashing light on them. Evil Tim 02:13, 28 October 2011 (CDT)

Can someone at least post a close-up screenshot? We can call it the "unknown proximity mine" if it truly seems to be a fictional 'disc', instead of based on any real piece of hardware. Note that if you use the zoom function on Batman's cowl, you can capture a good picture of the device without actually getting close enough to detonate it in-game. --Katangais 02:40, 28 October 2011 (CDT)

We don't call it unknown if we know it's not real, and fictional weapons have to pass a "reasonably believable" test. I'll have another look sometime, though I've finished the game now so I'm not sure anyone will have them. Unless they're the same as the Riddler mines. Evil Tim 04:08, 28 October 2011 (CDT)

Just took a look, by the way, and although I can't get a screenshot (My printscreen button has a malfunction) it's definitely much more detailed than a flashing disc. Can't say I recognize exactly what the mine is, though. --Katangais 15:14, 29 October 2011 (CDT)

I'm still not sure, but I have now examined several close-ups of the proximity mines, and I think they may be TS-50s, which have a very distinct exterior design. --Katangais 20:44, 29 October 2011 (CDT)

Unknown Pistol #2

Am I the only one who thinks it's a Browning Hi-Power? The Wierd It 14:51, 31 October 2011 (CDT)

I put it down as an Inglis, it has a "humped" rear sight. Evil Tim 02:32, 3 November 2011 (CDT)

Cool, I was so focused on trying to figure out what the hell Unknown Pistol #1 is that I barely glanced at Unknown Pistol #2. :) - Mr. Wolf 08:43, 3 November 2011 (CDT)
