== Comparison photos of 67 and 19 ==

Dillinger why do you keep taking away the photo of the Model 19? I like the comparison photos and you seem to be the only one who has an issue with it. What's the big deal? If you're going to do that at least build a page for yourself so we can exchange messages. --[[User:Jcordell|Jcordell]] 17:11, 24 July 2009 (UTC)
==Model 36 or Model 10?==

I think I was wrong about Hauk with a Model 36 (Model 36 was already listed on the page too), the front sight looks to be the rounded style seen on the early Model 10 snubs. --[[User:Predator20|Predator20]] 12:59, 24 July 2010 (UTC)

- Another sharp spot there, Pred. I'd have to concur myself. [[User:StanTheMan|StanTheMan]] 23:55, 24 July 2010 (UTC)

- Is it just me, or does the trigger guard on Hauk's gun look huge?--[[User:Max Deployment|Max Deployment]] 14:35, 6 February 2012 (CST)

==Shuriken==
Hey guys. I haven't seen this movie in a while, and I couldn't remember; does Snake use the shuriken that are laid out with his gear? Thanks. -SasquatchJim

Yes, he uses at least one on a guard outside the subway train at Duke's. [[User:Max Deployment|Max Deployment]] 14:37, 6 February 2012 (CST)

== Fun trivia fact ==

Interesting bit of movie trivia here, on the film's poster where it shows the head of the Statue of Liberty in the middle of a street in New York City, such a scene never happens in the film. However, 27 years later, the filmmakers of [[Cloverfield]] got their idea of the scene when New York is first attacked and the Statue of Liberty's head is being thrown into a building and falling into the middle of a street from the poster of Escape from New York. Pretty neat huh? --[[User:ThatoneguyJosh|ThatoneguyJosh]] 06:20, 10 March 2011 (MSK)

That apparently was J.J. Abrams idea, who was disappointed that after seeing the Statue of Liberty's head on the poster that it wasn't actually in the film. --[[User:Ben41|Ben41]] 12:30, 10 March 2011 (MSK)
:Oh yeah I forgot, that was J.J.'s idea. I read up on it again and found out it was his idea. My mistake. --[[User:ThatoneguyJosh|ThatoneguyJosh]] 03:57, 15 March 2011 (CDT)

:::Also the HEAD of the Statue of Liberty on the movie poster is WAY OUT of SCALE. It's huge!!!! Compared to the real thing. hahahahah [[User:MoviePropMaster2008|MoviePropMaster2008]] 01:14, 16 November 2011 (CST)

==Should Snake's MAC-10 get its own page?==
I would argue that this weapon is not just iconic but unique. I'd really like to see it have its own page where we could identify the parts. I have some info (and speculation) to share but I don't want to clutter the main page if it's inappropriate. [[User:Max Deployment|Max Deployment]] 14:42, 6 February 2012 (CST)
:All it is is a MAC-10 with some small embellishments; I'm not sure that would constitute as a fictional weapon.
::Not even the whole gun. All the embellishments appear to be focused on the suppressor. Take that away, and it's just a regular MAC-10. --[[User:Funkychinaman|Funkychinaman]] 16:10, 6 February 2012 (CST)

== MAC-10 bolt and ejection question ==

In the scene where Snake meets Brain, he threatens Brain by pulling back the bolt to open it, similar in fashion to the way a movie character cocks a revolver's hammer to intimidate someone. Now wouldn't doing this eject a chambered round?

==Gatling gun==
Everytime I've seen this great film I wonder how the characters inside the War Wagon fed the Gatling Gun in the turret. The turret didn't seem high enough for one of the straight magazines or drums that you usually see. I also wondered whether the producers were inspired by the armoured wagon in ''The Outlaws is Coming''.[[User:Foofbun|Foofbun]] ([[User talk:Foofbun|talk]]) 23:41, 15 December 2012 (EST)

== Wall Display of Guns ==

After Kirk Douglas' character is introduced, he takes John Wayne up to his room to discuss the heist. In his room there is a display of guns on his wall. Can anyone help in identifying them? I will get a screen shot of it and post it here later.
