Talk:Looper
Prop pictures are out!
IO9 posted a photo of the props from Looper that clearly shows the "futuristic shotgun" (pretty much a zip gun fashioned from a crude wooden handle and something that looks like an AR front) and the single-action revolver (which is not a Colt SAA - I can't tell what it is, some Taurus?). http://io9.com/5929101/why-joseph-gordon+levitt-has-the-crappiest-gun-in-looper
looper levels
apperently loopers are at best entry level assassins the home made shotgun seems to reflect where they are. the guy to be whacked is already tied up it seems to use buckshot so you cannot miss apperantly there are "gat men" supervisors to the looper that use large calaber revolvers like the Magnum Research BFR that acutaly requiers skill to use unlike the scatter guns --Seekerdude (talk) 16:07, 25 September 2012 (EDT)
just saw the film, noticed some guns not listed
First off, excellent movie. Second off, just in case anyone was wondering, a few guns I noticed in the movie: Bruce Willis also used the Mateba Autorevolver, as well as an MP9-looking submachine gun breifly during a flashback. He used it to shoot at a car in a driveby. Maybe a TMP or something?
- I was able to grab a shot off of an international trailer for the film but I can't make a clear ID. bunni (talk)
Young Joe had some type of single-barrel break-action derringer looking gun when escaping from his apartment. Noooo clue what it was, dark scene with a dark gun, but the shell casing he inserted into it looked like a .22.
- I added what I believe was a shot of Joe grabbing this pistol from a French trailer but it doesn't look like the break-action derringer you're describing, were there two guns in that scene? bunni (talk)
- I *think* so, if we're thinking about the same scene. The part where he falls off of the ladder at the fire escape to his apartment. He loads up something that looks break-action (but again, small gun in a dark shot), loads it with a bullet, and then runs out the fire escape, and he fires one shot at the Beretta Gat Man. If I remember correctly, which is always a crapshoot knowing me. --Sparticus (talk) 00:41, 3 October 2012 (EDT)
- I found a publicity still of that scene. There's something in his hand. --bunni (talk) 19:07, 5 October 2012 (EDT)

- It is pretty much impossible to tell from that shot, but my best guess would be a High Standard Derringer based on the genreral size/shape and the fact that it appears to have some kind of spur between his index and middle finger. --commando552 (talk) 19:27, 5 October 2012 (EDT)

The Doctor had some sort of revolver that definately was not a BFR during the climax of the film. A python, I think? Again, it's only on screen for a second.
Old Joe had an MP5 after his P90's ran out of ammunition. You can see it when Abe is looking through a security monitor and then again when Joe bursts through a door.
- Yup, if I remember correctly it had a full stock too - but the magazine and well looked too large to be an MP5A2? I actually thought at the time that it was an HK33 variant, maybe a HK53 could be confused for an MP5? It was shown only briefly and even then through a black and white 'security cam'. Does such a thing as an HK53 with an MP5A2 stock exist, HK53A2? bunni (talk)
- Hmm, did a bit of googling, I believe it looked something like this.
One of the thugs accompanying Kid Blue at Joe's apartment has a Beretta of some sort, which seems odd considering everyone else's love for BFR's.
The final Gat Man to get killed at the club by Joe with the p90 is carrying an AR-15 pistol variant. You get a good look at it when the guy dies and the gun falls besides him.
Joe drives by a guy who has I *think* a Mossberg shotgun that he uses to kill a looter.
- I added an image from the international trailer - but I can't make it out at that angle. It appears to be pistol gripped. It also has a large rear sight 'fin' like a Mossberg. bunni (talk)
Just trying to help, hope anyone on the website finds this useful once this movie comes out on home video.
I think that when the Gat-men were prepping for their ill-fated final assault I saw one loading a Colt 1851 Navy. --Rebusdi (talk) 17:05, 12 October 2012 (EDT)
