Talk:Incident at Map Grid 36-80 (Sluchay v kvadrate 36-80)

I love how the costumes department thought a US Navy captain's rank insignia is a large "C", like he was the captain of a hockey team. Is that how they did it on Soviet/Russian ships? --Funkychinaman (talk) 13:46, 12 November 2017 (EST)

No, Soviet Navy uniform never had any insignia in such style, only shoulder marks and sleeve insignia. I have no idea what could be the source of inspiration for the US uniform in this movie - maybe it was depicted in such way to make it look maximally alien for Soviet audience.

Revolvers, judging by the grips, may be a already known FN Barracudas. Buuut this is only an assumption, of course. --Slon95 (talk) 10:36, 6 February 2018 (EST)

This movie was filmed in 1982 while the screen appearance of Barracuda is in 1990s. Hardly such good prop would not appear during 1980s in any movie, if it was available already in those years. Greg-Z (talk) 11:20, 6 February 2018 (EST)

Barracuda revolvers were first manufactured back in the 70s, so its certainly possible, but I'd have to say unlikely. I'm thinking these are probably some kind of S&W. Ultimately with just a shot of them holstered no way we can really make any definitive ID. StanTheMan (talk) 22:14, 7 February 2018 (EST)

Revolvers in holsters

As the revolvers of US pilots are controversial, here are some additional screenshots. As for me, these guns are no more that mockups. --Greg-Z (talk) 09:55, 13 October 2019 (EDT)
