Quote HistoryQuoted: China Beach is why I wanted an AR-15 when I was a kid. The Falkland war and "Congo" caused me to seek out an FAL. |

Not gonna lie, the only reason I bought my 29-2 p&r is because of Dirty Harry. Ironically enough, when the first John Wick came out I owned all the guns Keanu Reeves used in that film, but I had them before the film made them cool.

Black Hawk Down and Blood Diamond are big drivers in the carry handle carbine market.
Also, I always thought the part in Jurassic Park that showed the jammed SPAS-12 to be very fitting because the one I had was a jam-o-matic piece of shit.

Lots of folks wanted M1 Garands and M1 Carbines after Saving Private Ryan and Band of Brothers. Probably 1911’s as well, but I know people who went for the rifles directly as a result of the movie & series.

The problem with modern inox is they come with black small parts. Everything but the extractor is an easy swap, but the extra parts add up. |

Though I do intend to pick up a 92XI someday. For me the one gun I wanted from a piece of media was the CZ-75 from Gunsmith Cats. Although I don't subscribe to Rally Vincent's unhealthy facination with the earliest Short Rail version. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Walther ppk - James Bond I know right, this right here. And it's such a trash gun too, Walther should just let it die but I bet it makes them a ton of money. The gun just flat out sucks! It's a weak caliber but it's loud and recoils like a bigger gun. The sights are pure dog shit. If the hammer doesn't bite your hand the slide will, and your knuckle will probably bash on the trigger guard. What a piece of crap gun but it does look nice though. |
