I hope I can get some help identifying the rest of these guns. --redram355 (talk) 18:47, 18 March 2013 (EDT)

Hit-Girl chambering the Glock

I thought you couldn't manually chamber a round on a Double-Action-Only pistol. - User: 2wingo

You can't manually cock the hammer on a DAO pistol, chambering a round is different and is the act of pulling back the slide to pick up a round from the magazine and insert it in the chamber. This is a necessity for any automatic pistol to fire, be it a DAO, SAO or DA/SA. You can't just insert the magazine into the grip of a pistol and fire it, you need to put a round in the chamber first. --commando552 (talk) 19:32, 18 March 2013 (EDT)

Thanks. I'm still a little fuzzy on the meaning of "double" and "single" action in regards to semiautomatics. - User: 2wingo

To simplify it, in order for a gun to fire a round the gun's hammer hits the back of the firing pin, which then hits the rear of a cartridge setting it off. In a single action gun, the hammer can only be released by the trigger, so must be in the rear position to fire. Generally when you pull back the slide of a SA pistol the hammer will be cocked, but if you uncock it after this point you will have to manually pull back the hammer before you can fire again. With a double action pistol when you pull the trigger it cocks the hammer and then releases it. As a DA trigger is doing a lot more work than a SA, it is heavier requiring more force to pull. With a DA/SA pistol (what most 9mm "military" pistol are these days) they are capable of both, meaning that you can have the hammer uncocked and fire the first round with a DA trigger pull, and subsequent rounds with SA. This is putting it simply though and ignoring mechanisms like striker fired pistols and pre-set triggers, if you want to understand it I suggest you read about it. --commando552 (talk) 20:02, 18 March 2013 (EDT)

Blazer R93 LRS1?

While they are training in the trailer a display case holding Bid Daddy'd costume is visible with what appears to be a Blaser sniper rifle. However going by the change in angle of the front of the stock and the "V" where between the back of the cheek rest and the stock, it appears to be an LRS1 rather than an LRS2:

However the above gun is not real, but rather an Airsoft one made by Kind Arms. In fact I can't find any reference to a non airsoft LRS1, does anyone know if it exists? Or maybe it isn't a Blaser at all and is something else. --commando552 (talk) 06:07, 19 March 2013 (EDT)

Hit Girl's SIG-Sauer

The armorer of the film describes Hit Girl's SIG-Sauer as a Sig-Sauer P232 not a P230, but the Sig used in the film does look similar to a SIG-Sauer P230. I'am not really sure if it's a SIG-Sauer P230 or P232.
