The A-Team made me want a Mini-14, but when I got one I learned why no one ever got shot on that show.

Tons of influence, but I will also usually do some reading to back up my purchases.
For example I wanted an AR for the longest time after SWAT and Earthquake, but Cooper told me they were poodle shooters so I had to wait for Bill Clinton to ban them before I bought my SP1. Han Gruber's P7? Sexy, but I read up on it and liked it even more and today it is my CCW. Big miscue? The pre-ban Mini-14 I bought for a premium and sold down the road. |

Yeah, the way Muldoon died in the movie pissed me off. Especially since in the novel he kicked ass and survived, IIRC Posted Via AR15.Com Mobile |

M16/AR15 from the original S.W.A.T. t.v. show.
I had a toy M16 when I was about 6 and have loved the platform ever since. And, the 1911 from Magnum P.I.––of course. |

 I bought this after watching Enemy at The Gates  I bought this solely because of Army of Darkness  And I built this after longing for one from a combination of Dawn of The Dead and Platoon.  |

Cant say that it has.

I started jonesing for an AR after a movie, but I don't remember which one. Guy was wearing a suit, pulled it out of his trunk or something and went to town while being all careful not to get dirty. Was a cool contradiction of sorts.
I don't know why that stuck with me. Wish I could remember what show that was. Glock, not a sissy pistol. /US Marshals
Kinda me too. But my parents always had Glocks, and it sorta set me down the path. |

The original 2009/2340's had Swiss frames, not German. |
