I Love Weapons

[Kemaiku]

Not the only one who noticed that then. I don't even mess with the pellet gun triggers, but then if it has the room I have the annoying/odd habit of slipping my finger behind the trigger at times.

Very interesting site. I particularly like the Star Wars entry. I did not realize so many historical weapons were used as templates.

That was something fairly brilliant that Lucas and art director John Barry came up with on Star Wars: real weapons with some sci-fi camouflage would have more on-screen "presence" as weapons than something made from scratch. And really SF weapons before that -- as nifty and streamlined a design as the TOS phaser was -- look like props.

IMFDB is a fun site; I even started a page on there though I don't visit it much.

(Jack Hardness kept switching "his" gun).

Freud would have a field day with this thread.

Sometimes an AK-47 is just an AK-47.

nice trigger discipline. NOT.

When you're posing for a mean-looking picture, you go for it.

Yup, to hell with where the bullets end up, it looks cool!

Weren' t no bullets in it, and I didn't PULL the trigger.
Do you pick this much when you see pictures of actors handling guns posing for posters?

Been handling guns since 1978, don't worry about me.

Interesting point as many of the films I watch have heavily modified firearms, and while researching them I've found that most of the ones I have posters or films of, the guns were custom built from scratch never to fire live ammunition and use specialised blanks.

Also taking a closer look at the one beside me the guns have been photoshoped in, and most likely are in every poster.

Sorry, what was your point again?
