  1. My M4 setup with various optics. Needs a G&P KAC RIS to replace the CA one and a folding rear BUIS. Otherwise its done. My photography is ###### at best:

  2. Nice handsome pete, is the A2 handguard on the middle a real one or star?

     

    I believe its a Star, no trade marks on it. Ris was on the side but don't have a LLM01 unit (a replica would be nice) so got the drill out and bunged it on the bottom. This is a team mates rifle, he's not to keen on the vertical grip since I put it on .

     

    Nice how did you make that M249 though?? sorry for silly question

     

    Originally a CA249 mk1, then bunged a A&K para stock on it & CA para barrel. No apology necessary ;)

  3. Farrel uses a Sig 552 as a primary throughout the film. Its the female member of the team who wields a G36c ;)

     

    TBH though, every movie often has several models of the same weapon. Rubber guns for stunts to prevent injury/damage to the actors/weapons, airsoft for posing and wielding (often lighter, and safer- no chance of ND's by untrained actors-) and blank firers for the scenes where firing is required (unless ofcourse they use CGI). For example, the church shootout in Once upon a time in Mexico was done with rubber guns because the blank firers hadn't arrived in time so the effects were put in with CGI later.

     

    With that said, what might be airsoft/fake in one scene maybe a real/blank firer in the other.

     

    I've probably stated the obvious here & will be falmed to death :P

     

    Cheers.

  4. Someone mentioned it to me a while ago. They reckoned it was just really good CGI. Especially in 'that scene' its surely too close to use blanks, although you cant really see the angles. Still pretty dangerous. So I watched the shooting scenes over and over a few times. Theres just some odd things about it, especially in the club scene, mainly erratic shell ejection and quite low recoil even for blanks. Of course all this could be ###### and and it could just be put down to a poorly tuned extractor and a very well trained actor...

     

    Ye thats a fair point, unless its just a PFC with extra bright caps. The link below points out with a face shot he actually misses (intentional?). Your point about the actor being very well trained is a good point, I think the 6 months on the the range meant he perfected it to a rather awesome standard. That said, alot of movies are now done using CGI for firearm effects, sometimes to a standard where its very hard to tell the difference, I just thought being a Mann film he'd avoid it.

     

    Bit of a rant I know, just like my films is all. cheers :D

  5. Also. The USP in Collateral was airsoft.

     

    You sure of that? Not saying you're wrong but it being a Michael Mann film (a director who loves his firearms) and the fact Cruise trained with live ammo, to get his skills up to top notch, be bit of a let down to find out it was your bog standard KWA USP :P.

     

     

     

  6. Good old Krylon. Thought I'd used all my old paint up but still had a wee bit left. Barely managed to do this. Was worried I'd do one side just about and run out of OD before i finished the other but scraped through :P

  7. What rail covers? Nice gun!

     

    Rail covers are G&G and came standard with the rifle. Cheers.

     

     

    Awesome work Pete, but is the magazine inserted upside?

     

    It looks kinda like two taped together.

     

    Cheers Souske. Ye, G&G make the small 10 round style mags as 50 rnd standard caps. The 20 round style mags are 500 round hicaps (which you don't want for a sniper rifle) but I liked the look so i taped the pair together and kept one black in case i preferred it that way :P Cheers.
