Talk:30 Minutes or Less (2011)

Controversy

Being that this was based loosely on a true story (which ended VERY BADLY) is causing a lot of folks to think this film is in bad taste. Yeah, I know it is a different story (and a 'comedy') but I don't think enough people realize how horrified the public was at the fate of the original guy (who had the bomb strapped to his NECK while the cops sat around). Ugh. MoviePropMaster2008 16:06, 1 May 2011 (CDT)

Oh, they made a comedy about THAT?! Wow. That IS in pretty poor taste. --Funkychinaman 16:50, 1 May 2011 (CDT)

The important part is that they strapped to Mark Zuckerberg. --Swordfish941 18:14, 1 May 2011 (CDT)

I think I remember this case....didn't America's Most Wanted dedicate an episode to this one 2 or 3 years back? --HashiriyaR32 19:39, 1 May 2011 (CDT)

Wired did a nice article on it a few months ago. Link --Funkychinaman 20:51, 1 May 2011 (CDT)

I think this looks pretty good. BeardedHoplite 19:31, 1 May 2011 (CDT)

Airsoft guns

I just finished capping this film, and I was just wondering: do cheap airsoft guns have working hammers? I know the nice Japanese ones do, but I'm talking about the cheap clear plastic kind that are bought in department stores. --Funkychinaman 10:55, 14 April 2012 (CDT)

I've got a pretty crummy gas M1911 that has one, and since even cap guns tend to have working hammers I wouldn't think it's much of a premium feature. Evil Tim 11:10, 14 April 2012 (CDT)

A hammer on a cap gun can be actually used to ignite the cap though. And I had plenty without. A hammer on a spring or gas powered gun would just be a perk. Oh well, I just thought it was weird. --Funkychinaman 11:24, 14 April 2012 (CDT)

I think the idea on the cheap ones is that you could stick caps under the hammer and multitask. Evil Tim 11:32, 14 April 2012 (CDT)

I got a few cheap airsoft guns and the hammer does come down on some of them. It depends on the exact cheapness of the gun Bristow8411 16:16, 15 April 2012 (CDT)

I watched a few online reviews on the M4505, and it looks like it does. It's only cosmetic, however. --Funkychinaman 17:42, 15 April 2012 (CDT)

Spare caps

I don't want to use this one, it's got a weird reflection or whatever on the right side of the screen. --Funkychinaman 13:35, 14 April 2012 (CDT)
