Talk:On Wings of Eagles

Unidentified guns

There’s a good deal of unidentified guns in this movie, but especially below shotgun and flare gun keep bugging me. Anybody got a clue? Thanks in advance, PeeWee055 (talk) 15:30, 13 August 2014 (EDT)

Winchester Model 1912? Greg-Z (talk) 15:37, 13 August 2014 (EDT)

Hey, that is quick! Winchester Model 1912 does seem okay, will change on the page. Thanks, PeeWee055 (talk) 15:52, 13 August 2014 (EDT)

Arabic writing

This question has nothing to do with guns really, but I was curious if the Arabic writing frequently seen in this movie (see below) means anything? The movie was shot in Mexico so I am not too confident, for all I know they could just have copied random words. Much appreciated if anybody could shed some light on this, PeeWee055 (talk) 15:44, 13 August 2014 (EDT)

Well, if it's set in Iran, it should be Farsi. And seriously, Richard Crenna plays Ross Perot? --Funkychinaman (talk) 16:16, 13 August 2014 (EDT)

It's been, literally, decades since I read the book but, if I remember correctly, the only weapons the team ever used were some Walther PPKs which had the serial numbers removed and were never actually used. Again, if I remember correctly, the rescuers never fired a single shot during the operation.--Charon68 (talk) 19:20, 13 August 2014 (EDT)
