Talk:The Evil That Men Do

Revolvers

The revolver in the first two caps actually looks like a Smith & Wesson Model 15, since the ejector rod is unshrouded. Is the revolver in the third cap supposed to be the same one? --Funkychinaman 09:46, 1 August 2012 (CDT)

Smith & Wesson Model 15 .38 Special

It is supposed to be the same revolver but of course there could be a continuity error. The second revolver appeares in the scene of the car chase and until the end of the movie. When I created the page I had a brief thought that these revolvers have different front sights but I was so unsure that put them as one. Greg-Z 10:00, 1 August 2012 (CDT)

Well, here are really two revolvers. As it seems to me, both have shrouded (?) ejector rod, both have adjustable rear sights but the different front sight: it is more rounded on the first revolver. The second one can be identified as Model 19 (BTW, the man who added this movie on Bronson's page long before my work at the page identified this revolver as Model 29), and I cannot say anything about the first because I don't know S&W with round front sight and adjustable rear sight.

Sawn off shotgun

Browning BPS? The BPS page doesn't have production dates, so I can't be sure it was around when the movie was made, but then again, it was designed by John Pedersen, who died in 1951. --Funkychinaman 11:09, 1 August 2012 (CDT)

Browning BPS was my first idea too, but it has the ejection port at the bottom, while the movie shotgun - at the left side. Greg-Z 11:19, 1 August 2012 (CDT)

Oh weird. There can't be that many shotguns that eject to the left. --Funkychinaman 11:22, 1 August 2012 (CDT)

I tried but my googling found nothing. Can it be some custom version for left-handed users? Greg-Z 11:35, 1 August 2012 (CDT)

I was thinking that too, but would it be worth it? For example, you can get a custom left-handed bolt action rifle, but that's because no one makes a production left-handed bolt action rifle. If you're looking for a left handed shotgun, you could always get a production BPS or an Ithaca 37. Why pay extra just for a lefty ejection port? --Funkychinaman 11:43, 1 August 2012 (CDT)

I googled again and now I was lucky: Remington Model 870 Express Left-Hand! Greg-Z 12:04, 1 August 2012 (CDT)

Well then. Nice catch. --Funkychinaman 12:06, 1 August 2012 (CDT)
