Guns on Film: Can You Answer These 12 Movie Gun Trivia Questions?
Guns on Film: Can You Answer These 12 Movie Gun Trivia Questions?
Let's have a little fun. As is the case for many, the guns I grew up hunting with represent my first real world experience with firearms. But from an even earlier age, my interest in guns was definitely peaked by those I saw in movies. Whether it was to find out what kind of gun a hero or villain carried, or just a desire to know how the gun I saw on the screen really worked, movies provided that spark that made me want to find out more. In a way, guns made me a movie nut, and vice versa. I mean, how can you blame me with toys like this beckoning from the aisles of Kiddie City...yeah, I definitely had this one.
If you can relate, or just want to remember some awesome movie moments, click through this gallery of trivia questions. On the first slide for each movie, I pose a question about a film character that met his demise in front of a muzzle. The question might be about the movie, the guns in the movie, or both. Click to the next slide to see if you're right and learn some fun movie gun facts along the way.
Every film in here is at least a decade old, so there shouldn't be any spoilers for anyone. And if you haven't seen the flicks in this gallery...you should probably turn in your man card anyway. Have fun! --DM

M60
That's an M60
It's actually an M60E3...but I didn't ask a question about that one :)
Definitely an M60.
Oh. You answer all the idents in a single thread. So save 'em up and post 'em all at once.
The gun in the photo for 12 is a tompson
M60
It took two
AKMSU Carbines ended Denzel's at the red light.
Colt Single Action
Mr. Orange full mag from his Smith & Wesson
It took both an 870 and an M79 Grenade Launcher, plus a healthy dose of molten metal
Karabiner 98k fired by Steamboat Willie
6 Rounds from a Custom Springfield 1911A1
6 Rounds from a Custom Springfield 1911A1
Norinco Type 56
Marvin shot with a .45 and Bonus: 9mm oozie
A Smith & Wesson Model 10
Clarence is holding a cut-down Remington 1100. RoboCop's "Auto 9" is actually a Beretta 93R machine pistol.
Both, Riggs 9mm Beretta and Roger Murtaugh with his S&W Model 19
Traded his Beretta in on a Sig. Last movie was another Beretta
Scary Hairy!! A couple for thought though,, the bloody scene in 3000 Miles to Graceland, lessseee 3200 bullets and 45 guns?? Great Post though!! E
M60
Is it just me, or do a lot of Hollywood actors seem to shoot left handed in the movies?
"Yep, it was the same soldier the squad captured earlier in the film and forced to dig graves after medic Irwin Wade (Giovanni Ribisi) was killed. They released him at the urging of the cowardly (that's my opinion, and I'm sticking to it) Cpl. Timothy Upham (Jeremy Davies)."
Well too bad, cause I disagree. War is hell, but once captured the German is a POW. We howled like banshees when the Germans executed American POW's for no other reason than Hitler was pissed. For the American squad to have executed Steamboat Willie would have placed us down in the mud so to speak, with the Germans. The problem was that they were an advance autonomous operating unit and did not have a nearby base to transfer the prisoner to. I'll give you it was a tough call, but we're supposed to be better.
Oh yeah, if you look at the picture of Steamboat Willie when he shot Cap'n Miller you will see his eyes are closed.
M60E3 special forces version. 7.62NATO
I always figured that the grenade from the 'ol Bloop Tube continues to spin while locked in T 1000's chest. Much like what can happen with a pistol round fired into ice.
If I remember correctly it was 3. Probably one of the few movies where Busey really hit a role.
PA009: A surprising number of actors are left handed or ambidextrous. Must be that whole right-brain artistic thing.
JohnR: I don't consider Upham cowardly because he pushed the squad to let the captured German soldier go. That's the only thing that redeems his character. I was referring to when he froze on the stairs with the ammo belts and didn't intervene when his fellow soldier was slowly killed with bayonet within earshot. Then he screws up his courage to shoot an unarmed man, essentially in cold blood, way to late to make a difference to anyone but himself. Soured me on that character.
HammerGun: Interesting...I never thought of the grenade continuing to spin in his chest, but the T-1000 being made of liquid metal, that does make sense. Nice one.
The best shot of all time? US sniper put one through the scope of a german sniper. Which above movie?
Saving Private Ryan. After Caparzo is shot, Jackson takes the shot on a German sniper.
That shot was also used in Enemy at the Gate and Sniper...along with all of its sequels.
That's the m60 mashine gun. It has been replaced by the 240B
An M60, and fired one handed. How badass is that? :D
That would be a the Sly Stalone, chambered in Awesome Caliber. While lethal to Indo-Chinese Commies, Commies in Afganistan, and Sheriffs in helicopters spitting lead from Remington 700s, it is not known to be harmful to red blooded Americans.
the answer to Question 2 is "Busey didn't go down, his teeth shielded him."
Seriously, read the script, its all there.
I think this whole quiz is bogus, Sonny Crocket AKA Sonny Burnett and his veritable catalog of S&W's and Armani suits was not featured.
Nor were any characters or scenes from Michael Mann's seminal work "Heat".
Oh well, when the robots come (and they will) I'll have old glory life insurance and a grenade launcher so I'm set.
M60 shot with one arm, that takes some strength!
