Let's talk guns .. . . .


If you go to the IMFDB you will see a long list of the firearms used in this movie. That list pretty accurate . . . except for continuity.

Example: The gun Sloan gives Wesley at the beginning, to shoot the wings off the flies, was clearly a Beretta 92 and Wesley left the premises with it after being shown the wingless flies.

When he awakens the next morning and questions his recollections of the night before, the gun that falls out of his pants in the bathroom (and quickly secreted into the toilet tank without a Baggie, no less) is a Browning Hi Power.

When he later retrieved it from the toilet water tank (still sans a waterproof jacket) it was a Beretta 92 again.

Like I said, all the firearms listed were used but the armorer and editor did a horrible job with continuity! The last shoot out scene, I will agree, was a little difficult to keep track of all the guns as Wesley was snatching and grabbing all the weapons off his victims as he charged down the aisle of the loom room.

But to have 2 or 3 different handguns showing up as what is being carried by a character every 3-4 steps is lazy attention to detail.

How about the fact that one single .45ACP (not the fastest bullet in the arms race) had the energy to go through 8 or 9 people.

We KNOW that can't be true, because a .51AE in Deadpool couldn't even go through 3 people! :-)

Just a typical Hollywood movie: the gun handling was awful.

I know this probably not serious... But, just in case: neither is Deadpool an accurate source.

No, it wasn't.

But no bullet is going to go through that many people, and remain on its trajectory. Things like skull and sinew are going to impede it.

Even WWII handgun can go through several people easily, as evidenced on Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade.
