Talk:Resident Evil: Apocalypse

Nemesis' Minigun.

There is no way the Minigun itself would weigh 60-80 pounds with cut down barrels and some aluminum casing added onto it. A real steel Dillon or GE model is about 57 pounds, and the Titanium model is about 45. So 60-80 pounds would be pretty heavy for a Minigun.

We have the armorer here on site and we are going by what he has said. Frankly having picked up a stripped down Minigun before 60 to 80 pounds is about right.Rockwolf66 15:59, 12 October 2009 (UTC)

It may have been 60-80 pounds, but that isn't "light" for a Minigun, given that GE and Dillon, you know, the guys who make the weapon, claim it's about 60 pounds at the most, minus ammo. Now if you're including the weight of the chute and the ammo, maybe it weighs about that much, but it should be clarified that the entire system weighed 60-80 pounds versus the gun itself which probably weighed about 50.

Also, who deleted the info I posted about the way the gun was setup in the movie and supposed fire rate of the weapon? Was there any reason for that? I thought it was interesting that the movie was edited so that the weapon appears to have a very consistent fire rate of 4400 RPM. It's not something you would notice unless you were going scene by scene and looking for it, which suggests to me it was deliberate, rather than coincidental.

I did as the "ammo counter" was not hooked up to the feed system at all. basically it was a little LED counter rigged to run backwards from 5,000 or whatever number the director decided on. Thus that LED ran at whatever speed the director though looked cool. while it was attached to the weapon it had nothing to do with the rate of fire of that particular minigun. --Rockwolf66 17:02, 14 October 2009 (UTC)

I explicitly stated that that wasn't the true fire rate. I still thought it was interesting to note the level of detail that went into the film's post production regarding the weapon. And I was more talking about the HUD than the ammo counter. It's all good.

Why didn't they give Jill the classic Samurai Edge(custom Beretta 92FS) as her handgun? The STARS all have this gun I don't see why the armorer couldn't get one :(

Making a Samurai Edge in real life would be very expensive. Custom sights, a Brigadier slide, custom trademarks, a completely unique grip set, an extended slidestop; all of this would add up very quickly.--PistolJunkie 18:19, 9 December 2009 (UTC)

Hey if people can do it on a youtube video then the armorer should have no trouble

Video? This is relevant to my interests. Can you provide a link?--PistolJunkie 08:00, 12 December 2009 (UTC)
