Talk:Armsel Striker and variants

Additional Variants

SWD/Cobray Street Sweeper modified with M203 Handguard and M1919 Barrel Jacket as used in the film Total Recall.

SWD/Cobray Street Sweeper - 12 Gauge

Patent rights to produce and sell the Striker in the United States was purchased from Armsel by Grant W. Stapleton of Sentinel Arms Corporation in the early eighties; who then upgraded the shotgun to commercial U.S. standards. The Streetsweeper was a cheap knock-off copy of the earlier South African Stryker, which experienced mechanical and catastrophic failures when fired with U.S. shotgun loads.

Now able to buy ... that's funny

I thought the original BAN on rotary shotguns was based on the design, not by name. However, the original BAN by Bill Clinton was by name, so I suppose that Sentinel Arm's newest offerings are legal to buy and sell. Don't quote me on that, but I know the original guns were declared Destructive Devices by good old Bill. :( MoviePropMaster2008 20:18, 16 June 2009 (UTC)

So wait, is Sentinel Arms manufacturing new Strikers for LEO/Class III sales? -MT2008 20:35, 16 June 2009 (UTC)

So... Semi-auto shotguns with tubular magazines are legal to buy w\o special license, but the one with drum mag goes under Class 3 permit? It shoots the same ammunition, it kills the same. Can someone explain the logic?

Because it looks evil. Also there is no such thing as a class III permit. Just class III licensed dealers (According to federal law THEY have to be licensed to sell, you don't have to be to buy). Anyone who can pass a federal background check can buy a Class III weapon, if they can afford to buy and register it.-Ranger01 04:21, 23 March 2010 (UTC)

Not true. Many states require state approval for any transfer of a Title II firearm, so you do NEED a Class III permit in some places. Only in states with minimal gun regulations, does the purchase and ownership default to purely Federal requirements. 75.36.154.130 04:53, 25 September 2010 (UTC)

We must verify what shotgun was what

I am not sure we have correctly identified the proper shotguns for the sections. We must revisit these entries and try to verify if they are either Armsel or SWD/Cobray guns. Also is there proof than ANY Sentinel guns have made it into movies? MoviePropMaster2008 19:44, 24 October 2009 (UTC)

Formatting and organization

I'm just about done with formatting and organization.I just have to organize the films by date. Some of the film may be removed when I can confirm that the weapon in question is or is not in the film. Rockwolf66 14:59, 24 September 2010 (UTC)
