Oh and did anybody notice the Halo sniper rifle in the first scene inside D9 when they were exiting the truck? One of the guys in the background had a huge green sniper rifle. Some dude in the back of the theater yelled out taht there was the halo sniper gun. I thought it looked like a green mech20 (forget the real name).

And I was thinking the white rifles might be british sa80's with a large plastic cover of some kind on them. Only reason I say that is because off the top of my head the brits and the israelis are the only ones I can think of that have their magazine behind the pistol grip, although I'm sure there are more, just cant think of any right now.

i cant remember the name but its a South african anti-material rifle, 20mm iirc. gotta find my janes.

NTW-20. kept wanting to call it a gepard but thats hungarian

the white bullpups are vektor cr-21s. basically a bullpup version of their R4 galil clone

NTW-20!, I don't know why I was thinking its a mech20. Anyway are you sure its the cr-21? my bad memory doesn't remember the rifle being so curved, although it has the same layout

well i was calling it a tavor in theatre but thats def not right. i think the black rubber parts on it are whats throwing us off. reasonably good pics on the imdb gun page

btw fred, you forgot the austrians, belgians, and the french. we seem to be one of the few countries that cant see the advantages of the bullpup layout

Awesome find never even seen that before but yeh its cool. I wish they had a better shot of the Cr21, I'm sure that you are right but the picture they are showing is a bad quality one.



and yes it is a Mech20 or better known by it's non slang name the Mechem NTW-20

THAT SITE IS PIMP. you can search for movies by weapon

You guys would know this, who made those cheap-shit looking WWII submachine guns with the skinny clip that stuck out perpendicular to the rest of the gun. When I was a kid I used to think they were cool on TV.

[derf]

the grease gun?
