Where to begin?

  • Clint Eastwood's Remington 1858 New Army .44 in Pale Rider
  • Robert Duvall's 1847 Walker Colt in Lonesome Dove
  • Matt Damon's 1874 Sharps carbine in True Grit
  • Danny Glover's 1860 Henry rifle in Silverado
  • Arnold Schwarzenegger's .45 Longslide with laser sighting in Terminator
  • Michael Biehn's Ithaca 37 12-gauge in Terminator
  • Val Kilmer's Colt Single Action Army and Colt Lightning in Tombstone
  • Barry Pepper's Springfield 1903A4 in Saving Private Ryan

okay, okay, I'll give someone else a turn.

Pretty cool! A broomhandle, commander 1911 hammered,smle jungle carbine snouted, scoped thing. Does it amaze anyone else that in the future with all of the futuristic stuff like transporters and Tri-corders that they still use bullets?

The custom-made sniper rifle used by Edward Fox in Day of the Jackal. Remember? It was camouflaged in/as a metal crutch. Brilliant. Bought the DVD recently, one of my favorite films.

The home defense sawed-off SBS 12-gauge used by Sean Connery in The Untouchables. "... bringin' a knife, to a gunfight..."

+1 on Swagger's rifle from "Shooter".

I would also say that the vulcan that is mounted in the helicopter on "the matrix" would make the list.

Weirding Module from Dune.

Okay that might be cheating, but I am pretty sure I might be the quitzakhaterack. Okay, nerd off.

I do not really have one that stands out, but this thread makes me recall "The Way of the Gun," which I love, but to be fair my dad and his friends did not- but they (all cops) said it was the most realistic gun fighting they had ever seen in a movie. Supposedly all the shooting was choreographed by a US Navy SEAL.

In a couple of weeks I might get to shoot the MG 42 that was in Sons of Guns, a few weeks back.
We might have a locals get together at the club/range that I belong to.
I'm hoping that we can get the ok from the club officers to cut lose with some F/A firearms.

I am beginning to think that this thread could potentially exceed the TFF Family Album in number of posts and views.

The Lee Enfield Mk. I used throughout Breaker Morant.

"We tried them.. and we EXECUTED them .. by Rule .303." (Harry 'Breakhorse' Morant, referring to his unit's treatment of Boer guerillas, as ordered by the British command.)
