Talk:District B13

SG-550 is actually a SG-551?

I haven't actually seen this movie myself (so I can't study multiple screenshots) but when I happened upon this page, I could not help to notice that it seems the SG-550 is actually an SG-551.

I am not too experienced with the SG-55x series, but I noticed what appear to be 4 differences:

(1) handguard in screenshot has a 3 openings on the top side rather than 5 on the SG550, (2) the lower part of the handguard towards the magazine seems to be sloped downwards towards the trigger, rather than straight like on the SG550, (3) the lower forward part of the handguard (just above the flashlight) seems to have some sort of a rail-like dent, just like on the SG551, and (4) the external part of the barrel seems to be quite short, just like on the SG551.

Please let me know what you think and I will gladly make a revision, --PeeWee055 03:29, 7 October 2011 (CDT)

It is a SG 551. :) - Mr. Wolf 12:06, 7 October 2011 (CDT)

Thanks a lot for the quick confirmation. As you may have seen, I revised the page plus the references on the respective gun pages. --PeeWee055 07:53, 8 October 2011 (CDT)

Title Wrong?

Is the title of this page wrong, as IMDB lists it as "District 13", and B13 is short for the original French title "Banlieue 13". "District B13" seems like it is redundant. Every poster and DVD I can find either calls it "District 13", or "B13/Banlieue 13". --commando552 20:02, 8 December 2011 (CST)

I agree, it's silly, but IMDB lists it as "District B13" That's also technically the American title, if you look at the release info. If you really wanted, I guess you can argue for the International English title, "13th District." And this poster does say "District B13." --Funkychinaman 20:23, 8 December 2011 (CST)

For me IMDB has the title as District 13. Maybe it is trying to be a clever bastard by knowing where I am and giving me the English title. Have swapped the current poster for the US release one as per the rules. Sequel makes it more confusing, as it drops the B for the US version. --commando552 20:44, 8 December 2011 (CST)

You SHOULD mention you're a Brit in your user page. (then I can make bad teeth jokes, just kidding) That helps us figure things out like "why does Your google or IMDB show different things. They divert to the respective servers in your region of the world. you won't see stuff that Americans see. We see differences here all the time that are regional. You aren't the first Englishman to wonder why the hell we have stuff listed the way we do, since their "Amazon" or "IMDB" pages show something different. Sometimes you gotta trust us when we state that some items are listed a certain way in America :D MoviePropMaster2008 01:59, 21 January 2012 (CST)

La France M16K??

On the page under Skorpian, the photo of the AR15 'pistol/smg' the henchman is holding MIGHT be a La France M16K. The barrel length in the shot looks good, and the original M16K uses the CAR-15 receiver. There's a 5.56 version and a .45 machine gun version. From the wikipedia page, "The M16K is a so-called "K" weapon ("K" standing for the German word Kurz meaning short.) The La France M16K, was basically a standard military M16 rifle, chambered for the standard issue 5.56 mm cartridge with an 8 3/8 inch (213 mm) barrel. The standard barrel length is 20 inches (508 mm)." What you think?
