Talk:Soldiers of Fortune

I just watched this movie and thought I'd start this page up seeing as it has a lot of guns in it. Feel free to add to it!

Dear God this was a bad movie. That monstrosity that Ving Rhames carries made me cringe every time I saw it, possibly the worst attempt at making a gun "tacticool" (including Slater's very obviously airsoft MP5K with silencer, ANPEQ, and scope, because screw you, that's a sensible weapon for a lone Delta operator to have behind enemy lines) I have ever seen. Why in God's name it has an AR carrying handle mounted midway along the barrel shroud, Christ only knows. And what looks like about three different handguards, stacked.

Also, at one point James Cromwell's character fires multiple shots with what looks like a Browning BAR .338 Safari, since he's meant to be the ultimate big game hunter, yet despite the BAR being, very obviously, semi-auto, he racks the bolt every single shot he makes. Cringe. - Phalanx

It's supposed to be an MP5K, but there's a bolt where it's not supposed to be. It's seen firing, so not a replica.

Given the size and shape of the magazine, maybe a vismodded PPS-43? I know they vismodded PPS-43s into MP5s in the past. --Funkychinaman (talk) 16:19, 14 January 2013 (EST)

Could it be a slightly modified Blow Crazy blank fire only gun?

Blow Crazy - 9mm P.A.K. blanks

It doesn't have that ribbed part behind the forward grip, but the proportions and those metal lugs (don't know what they are) on the side of the receiver seem to be a match. Another possible indicator is the fact that the suppressor is in front of the cocking tube position rather than the barrel, as on the Blow Crazy the barrel is incorrectly mounted in the cocking tube position. However, as in the first screenshot the suppressor is in the correct position and there is no sign of the muzzle at the end of the cocking tube, so am guessing this is an Airsoft replica. --commando552 (talk) 20:05, 14 January 2013 (EST)

It can be switched between a genuine MP5, Blow Crazy blank firing gun and MP5 airsoft replica, depending on the scene. Andrey Karchikyan (talk) 2:20, 21 August 2013 (MSK)

BAR Safari?

CZ-75B? --Funkychinaman (talk) 16:21, 14 January 2013 (EST)

The UZI type on the left.

The MP5K-type SMG on the left.

Just realised another thing about that faux-tacticool monstrosity that Ving Rhames wields, the shrouded barrel on which the M16 carry handle is affixed is actually NOT the barrel at all. If you look at the shot where the barrel's shown clearly, you can see the PKM's actual barrel below it, and the fact that the top barrel isn't connected to the receiver of the gun at all, and is misaligned anyway. That just makes it even worse. WHY GIVE IT TWO BARRELS? Why not just put the shroud over the barrel itself, if you wanted to vismod it?
