You still need a rear iron sight on that last pic
You know it
-
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:

Ye found it to be a great little holster, never had my 226 mags slip out. Sadly it won't fit my .45 USP mags so im selling it (if anyones interested).

Where it goes on all para/mk 1 models (front wired), in the forgrip under the barrel. (Push on the barrel release, slide out the barrel bung the battery in, slie barrel back on).
Cheers.

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

The British Collection:

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
Cheers.

Dang, well thanks for the reply. So a 7.2 lipo would be alright in a stock CA v2 box?

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

I asked it else where with no reply so it might be a case that no one knows the answer but wondered if this style battery would fit (since its shorter than regualr small battery)?

If someone could let me know I'd be very greatful. cheers.

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 .

Those pictures are cheesier than a squaddies bellend after a month on exercise.

Nice agent Hunk. My loadout is an old lbv. Love the old school weapon too. Nice, simple and effective.

TheKurodaVagrant: Is that H Harness Eagle industries? I got my ei harness a couple of months ago but need pouches for it. Tis a real nice rig but a bit bulky for my slim frame. Nice loadout too.

-
Awesome loadout.
-
Ye nice review, makes a change not only from cheapsofts but also the choice of pistol is rather unique. Certainly made me want one. Good job.
-
Ye Axel, awesome. AM a huge fan of the US Woodland look, especially when its basic and simple like yours. No RAS or molle in sight hehe
-
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
-
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 Cheers.

Did this in about an hour this afternoon. cheers.

Sig 226 doesnt have a safety. It has a decocker but no safety catch. cheers.

Love it, very Baby Face/Dillinger-esque. Shame they don't make extended magazines.
