Talk:Sheriff's Star (Zvezda sherifa)
The revolver appears to be a visually modified Nagant, similar movie props can be seen in some other Soviet movies of late 1980s. Suppressed PM has an obviously fake suppressor, and the usage of PMs was only due to the lack of handguns, more appropriate for US police. Greg-Z (talk) 13:58, 30 August 2015 (EDT)
- No, the fact of the matter is that this is not the Nagant. It's some S&W revolver (it seems, top-break), may S&W Double Action. --Slon95 (talk) 21:01, 30 August 2015 (UTC+2)
- The inferior quality of screenshots (VHS, I guess?) doesn't allow to solve this question. But as for me, the revolver may be not a Nagant but it's not a top break. Anyway, I don't insist. I'll try to get this film in better quality. Greg-Z (talk) 15:26, 30 August 2015 (EDT)
- Is this is the same revolver? Greg-Z (talk) 15:29, 30 August 2015 (EDT)
- No, it's shooting a TV screen (even doubt that this film even possible to find at least on DVD).
It's a different revolver. Thank you about the discovery, by the way - I completely forgot about it. --Slon95 (talk) 21:36, 30 August 2015 (UTC+2)
Here is a screenshot of my copy of the movie. The revolver is definitely not top-break. Greg-Z (talk) 16:44, 30 August 2015 (EDT)
The idea about the revolver as visually modified Nagant seems very credible for me but I'm not sure if it's the same movie prop that in Sposob ubiystva. In Zvezda sherifa the revolver seems to lack "vent rib". Or I'm wrong? Greg-Z (talk) 14:34, 3 December 2015 (EST)
- "Vent rib" it is seen here:
- Angeli's revolver looks as real snubnose S&W (likely replica, non-firing or gas-firing):

- OK, I agree. Thanks! Greg-Z (talk) 15:29, 3 December 2015 (EST)
- I (finally!) reborn this article at the normal and the final version. Also, sorry that I'm earlier so often updating it page without much sense, since it was one of my first articles (while I have not had any experience in their correct spelling), and it originally had a lot of errors and inaccuracies - which I at last corrected. Anyway, I think it was worth it. --Slon95 (talk) 17:11, 5 February 2016 (EST)
- A good work! Thanks for identifying of the "dressed" Nagant as the same gun used in Novye priklyucheniya yanki.... It was allways a mystery for me. If we could identify the equally "dressed" machine gun in this movie, then a page can be created. Greg-Z (talk) 04:14, 6 February 2016 (EST)
- About machine gun in Novye priklyucheniya yanki... - it's a belt feed system, equepid with the bipod, and has a fake Kushukh (I don't know, how this word translate to English). I'm not sure, but, it's maybe some German WW2 machine gun. Pyramid Silent (talk) 08:37, 6 February 2016 (EST)
