Can't the P22 be a Walther PK380, which would be in .380? I can't tell, does the slide say P22? --Funkychinaman (talk) 19:36, 12 June 2013 (EDT)

Maybe, but isn't the PK380 newer than the P22? I mean, esthetically as well? Here, looks a little different as well: [[1]] --Warejaws (talk) 19:43, 12 June 2013 (EDT)

I think you're right. The PK380 doesn't have that step in the slide behind the Walther banner. --Funkychinaman (talk) 20:01, 12 June 2013 (EDT)

Definitely a P22. If nothing else, the P22 has the "old" style frame (except with a MIL-STD-1913 rail) with the hooked trigger guard whereas the PK380 uses the "new" style. Even the newer version of the P22 sticks with the old style frame design, but uses a newer PPQ style slide (in Germany it is called the P22Q). --commando552 (talk) 20:05, 12 June 2013 (EDT)

Has anyone seen this movie yet? I want to know about the scene with the Red Jacket gun Excalibur01 (talk) 22:57, 12 June 2013 (EDT)

I've seen it, I made the page. What Red Jacket gun?? --Warejaws (talk) 06:51, 13 June 2013 (EDT)

In an episode of Sons of Guns, Red Jacket made a custom gun for this movie. It was an M-11 with an ACOG on it. Excalibur01 (talk) 08:11, 13 June 2013 (EDT)

I remember no such thing, and I'm pretty scrupulous when I screencap. But if you wanna look it up yourself, this film is on Netflix. That's where I screencapped this from. Be warned, though; this film is no masterpiece... --Warejaws (talk) 08:20, 13 June 2013 (EDT)

The guy in the background is supposed to have the custom M-11 Excalibur01 (talk) 13:45, 13 June 2013 (EDT)

A kidnapper holds his MP5A3 in the beginning of the film.

You mean that dead guy? --Warejaws (talk) 16:42, 13 June 2013 (EDT)

Oops. I mean that other guy Excalibur01 (talk) 17:02, 13 June 2013 (EDT)

Oh, okay. I don't recall there ever was a clear shot of it. You can see the ACOG in the above picture, but that's about it. I'll watch the scene again later to see if you can see it properly. Don't get your hopes up, though. --Warejaws (talk) 17:06, 13 June 2013 (EDT)

I just watched the Sons of Guns episode than it was featured on, and the modifications to it are a side charging handle, sight rail with an ACOG in this case, and a side folding H&K MP5 PDW stock. The scene that was being filmed on that episode is the one on top of the roller coaster, and it looked like even when the guy with the gun walked towards the camera he kind of held it behind his leg. They implied that it was going to be used in firing scenes that weren't shot that day, but that may have been BS (like a lot else on that program). There was also a scene filmed where Kris from Red Jacket played an extra with an AKS-47 (which appeared to be an Airsoft replica) guarding the roller coaster, but it may not have made the final cut of the film if it didn't show up when you were capping it. --commando552 (talk) 18:29, 13 June 2013 (EDT)

The gun was sure as hell not used in any firing scenes, lol. And there certainly wasn't a guy with an AKS-47 on the rollercoaster. Only these two dudes, hanging alone. The footage might have been shot, but it must've end up on the cutting floor. Don't know if it would have made the film any better, though. This was pretty painful to watch. Schweiger and Rourke are only in it for a few scenes (and for the money, obviously), and Morgan can't carry this film on his shoulders. Plus, it's a pretty confusing plot that tries to be the next "Tarantino" -flick. --Warejaws (talk) 19:11, 13 June 2013 (EDT)
