==Roland's Double Rifle==
I still say Nick broke and/or disabled the firing pin on Roland's shotgun [[User:The_Winchester|Winn]]
:The whole movie is stupid like that i mean why the hell would Vince Vaughn break Roland's shotgun?[[User:Oliveira|Oliveira]] 16:10, 6 May 2009 (UTC)
::cos he was an activist
:I agree with you but for the sake of accuracy it wasn't a shotgun. It was a double barreled rifle. Designed for hunting large dangerous game such as Elephant, Cape Buffalo and Hippos.--[[User:Jcordell|Jcordell]] 02:13, 26 May 2009 (UTC)
::You would be wrong, because after Roland's gun fails to go BANG, he pulls out the empty shells and mutters, "Bastard." because he knows Nick pulled the bullets. When Nick is on the helicopter leaving the island, he lets the bullets roll from his hand onto the floor.
:I concur it is a double barreled rifle along the lines of a Holland and Holland, Purdey, Rigby, or Searcy. IMFDB entry claims it is a Searcy, anyone have any evidence to back this up? I can't see how anyone can tell which specific maker of double rifles made a specific rifle unless they have it in their hands, being as these are made to order with any accessories, sights, trigger guards, etc you want, so all normal identification features are thrown out the window. Is there some director's commentary that states it is a Seacry? I can considering changing it to 'indeterminant double rifle'
:Everything about the way he mishandled that double ticked me off. You don't leave your five thousand dollar pet lying around for some other idiot to blow his own face off with (Ever seen adults look down the barrels of a shotgun or rifle like a bloody cartoon character? I have.) or muck about with your rounds. Why was he only carrying two bullets? I know that .600 Nitro Express is hard on the bank statement - ten round wallets of 900gr .600 Nitro Express retailing for nearly $300 US - but who's seen a real hunter lugging all thirteen-to-fifteen pounds of a double around without a leather belt lined with cartridges 'round his shoulder or waist? (Said rounds tend to be slightly green with verdigris; you don't do much practising with your .600 Nitro Express when you aren't hunting.) He never breaches his gun to check that she's still loaded, a rather compulsive habit of big game hunters - the whole point of carrying that beast through the bush is that when something along the lines of an elephant or a buffalo or what have you takes exception to your predatory designs and charge, you have two extremely large rounds in rapid succession to dissuade such behavior with. Merry idiots who leave their rifles laying about camp rather than close at hand and never inspect their weapons are the sort who tend to wind up on the wrong end of a dangerous game animal. Such as, in this case, a Tyrannosaur. [[User:Atypicaloracle|Atypicaloracle]] 15:27, 17 June 2010 (UTC)

:- That's fine and good, but keep in mind this guy is still an actor, not a professional hunter, and that this is a fictional movie. Pointing out certain inaccuracies is one thing, but raggin' the hell out of the film/actor/etc because the guy didn't portray a big-game hunter with '''100%''' accuracy in a fictional piece of media is just a bit too negative, honestly. There's certainly no need to harp on about it on the movie's main page, and especially not when it comes off as insulting as it does.

:''I'm asking all members to stop with the sarcastic comments in the screencap descriptions: Too many members feel it's funny to be extremely sarcastic about actor's shooting stance, their blinking, their pistol grips. Only if it's so over the top as for the average person to notice, then don't keep on harping on it. Most actors are given only a bare amount of time to train, if at all. Many times the editor picks the worst take for pistol grip, but best take for other reasons like acting. Also much of the blame falls on the director. Some directors don't want to be bothered trying to train the actors and don't allow us armorers to even give them more training than the minimum safety training. People in the industry check out this website, and some think we're a bunch of obnoxious kids. I am not happy when people in 'the biz' look at the site and scoff at the snarky remarks. Some of them are the actual actors being insulted. We can always put in criticism, but IMFDB members going forward going to criticize a film, should try to do so in a scholarly manner or not at all.

== Tranq rifles ==

Note: The optical sight on the Lindstradt rifle is infact a '''Bushnell HOLO-sight'''. And it is mounted the right way.

Note: The tranquilizer rifles used by the hunters(Dieter Stark) are actually called '''Dan-Inject JM Standard'''. It is a real life tranquilizer gun used on animals.

The LAR Grizzly rifle used in the round up scene, was mocked up as the original heavy, Swedish "Lindstradt" air rifle, w/two CO2-tanks. Read Michael Crichtons novel ''The Lost World'' and it will all make sense. [[User:Quint]] 13:28, August 12. 2016.

==Guard==
The security guard in the last pic looks alot like Robert Patrick-[[User:S&Wshooter|S&Wshooter]] 02:35, 14 August 2009 (UTC)
:I disagree;he just looks just like a generic caucasian male to me --[[User:AdAstra2009|AdAstra2009]] 20:16, 3 November 2009 (UTC)
:But he does sorta look like Robert Patrick-[[User:S&Wshooter|S&Wshooter]] 21:58, 4 November 2009 (UTC)

== SIG Sauer P226 ==

[[Image:JP2-1911.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Guards aim their M1911A1 pistols at Ian and Sarah in his Pontiac LeMans Convertible.]]

I think this is a SIG Sauer P226, rather than a 1911 as labeled on the page.

And no, I don't think that looks like Robert Patrick either :P

- No way, barrel end and trigger guard are rounded just like a 1911. [[User:StanTheMan|StanTheMan]] 23:43, 19 April 2010 (UTC)

== Hunters ==

Where did Peter Ludlow get all the hunters to extract the dinosaurs from the island. I mean some of these have military grade weapons (One has an AKMS). I think there is something suspicious going on here.

They were mostly merecenaries. Personal weapons.

They were hired by InGen, a huge biotech corporation with billions of dollars. --[[User:BurtReynoldsMoustache|BurtReynoldsMoustache]] 00:22, 12 April 2011 (CDT)

== Spas 12 flashlight issue. ==

Now, about the Spas 12 seen in this movie. How is this Surefire clamp attached? I mean, the clamp looks like it`s attached to the heat sheild through a cut-out in the forearm. Or is the attachement fixed to the forearm itself?-[[User:Truckface|Truckface]]
: Usually it's done on the forend on shotguns but here I think you're right, looks to be at the heat-shield/receiver. It could be some kind of 'ring mount', sorta like this here - [[Talk:Mossberg_500_series_shotgun#What_is_this.3F|Discussion link]] [[User:StanTheMan|StanTheMan]] ([[User talk:StanTheMan|talk]]) 13:04, 1 July 2014 (EDT)
If using a streamlight ring mount, one would still have to cut a hole in the forearm, or at least shave the "lip" on the end of the distingtive SPAS 12 forearm somewhat. In this case, it looks like a clamp through a slit in the forearm.
Another issue would be that the pressure switch cable have to stretch enough, when the pump action is used. And the gen. 1 Surefire 660(pre 6P) is very short. I would like to see this solution off screen.-[[User:Truckface|Truckface]]
::It could be possible they are using the SPAS-12 in semi-auto only. -[[User:1morey]] August 8, 2016 8:09 PM (EST)
Mystery solved: By looking at pictures of the rubber stunt prop, the clamp holding the flashlight is attached to an upside-down picatinny rail. The small kind, usually found on top of hunting rifles, but here fixed to the forearm lip. So the flashlight is indeed attached to the forearm. [[User:Quint]] August 11, 2016

==Recently added==
Aside from cylinder release, a number of other revolver makes/models look very similar to the Mk III Trooper, so unless you can confirm it has the Colt-style cylinder release I don't think that can be a definitive ID. Also might wanna just stick to one 'rifles' section; there's not that many to really necessitate splitting them into specific 'Assault', 'Sniper' and vanilla categories - That said, for the record, the HK91 isn't really considered an 'assault rifle' (in several senses). [[User:StanTheMan|StanTheMan]] ([[User talk:StanTheMan|talk]]) 02:18, 9 August 2016 (EDT)
:Gotcha. I had gone with the Colt Trooper because the base of the grip is pretty wide, but I did not rule out any of the S&W revolvers. Will edit changes. -[[User:1morey]] August 9, 2016 8:56 AM (EST)

=Ajay's Rifle=

Ajay's rifle seems to be the Model 70 African Super Grade in .458 win mag. That's the only model with the slanted fore-end cap, 2 crossbolts, and barrel mounted sling swivel. Post 64 model. Possibly 1970s era. -[[User:Jamie]]

: I'd be inclined to wait 'til the full release, but ultimately the fact it's on a partial release is irrelevant - The 'Now Showing' template is still technically correct, while the 'unreleased' template is now technically incorrect. Plus it'd have be to be changed at some point anyway, so may as well do it now.

==Marine Uniform Authenticity==

I noticed in some of the screenshots that the Marines were wearing desert MARPAT uniforms with woodland camo Interceptor vests. I was under the impression the USMC stopped using woodland-patterned vests at about the same time as they stopped using the 6-color DCU uniforms?

[[User:Orca1 9904|Orca1 9904]] ([[User talk:Orca1 9904|talk]]) 21:13, 4 January 2015 (EST)
:The USMC used woodland-patterned vests all the way through to the Second Battle of Fallujah in November 2004, and you can see them in many of the photos taken of the battle. The coyote brown variant of the Interceptor wasn't produced until after the invasion of Afghanistan (and the Interceptor started mass production in 1999 in only woodland camo) so it is accurate for the Marines to be wearing a mix of coyote-brown and woodland vests during the rough time frame between 2003 and 2005. --[[User:Markit|Markit]] ([[User talk:Markit|talk]]) 23:56, 5 January 2015 (EST)

== Kyle's sidearm ==

In a picture from an article about Bradley Cooper's experience with sniper rifles during preproduction, Cooper appears to be carrying a 1911 of some sort. It could possibly be a Springfield TRP like Chris Kyle said that he carried in his first deployment. In his later deployments Kyle carried a Sig p220 to replace the Springfield that was damaged by shrapnel.
[[File:2474B82F00000578-2908712-image-m-35_1421185125685.jpg]]
It
:Can't tell by this picture, but having seen the movie, I can say that he uses a SIG 226, same as the rest of the SEALs. (And it's definitely a 226 and not a 220; I saw the wider grip/frame.) Kyle's sidearm is, unfortunately, one of the movie's gun-related inaccuracies. But I suppose it's a forgivable inaccuracy compared to ''[[Lone Survivor]]'' depicting the SEALs using Berettas - which was entirely due to a product placement deal. -[[User:MT2008|MT2008]] ([[User talk:MT2008|talk]]) 00:24, 15 January 2015 (EST)

In this picture, as well as a scene from his first deployment, where he is discussing the identity of the butcher, there is a beavertail and grip angle that is uncharacteristic of a Sig. Also, in said scene, the stainless steel muzzle can be seen below the hip holster that Cooper is wearing, also uncharacteristic of a Sig. However, these traits are charactetistic of a TRP.

Would it be alright to update the page's header template from upcoming to now showing to reflect the Christmas debut, or wait for the full release in January? [[User:Orca1 9904|Orca1 9904]] ([[User talk:Orca1 9904|talk]]) 18:03, 25 December 2014 (EST)
: I'd be inclined to wait 'til the full release, but ultimately the fact it's on a partial release is irrelevant - The 'Now Showing' template is still technically correct, while the 'unreleased' template is now technically incorrect. Plus it'd have be to be changed at some point anyway, so may as well do it now. It still otherwise notes it's unavailable for capping outside of official images and trailers/clips, which I think is the central point.

==Marine Uniform Authenticity==

I noticed in some of the screenshots that the Marines were wearing desert MARPAT uniforms with woodland camo Interceptor vests. I was under the impression the USMC stopped using woodland-patterned vests at about the same time as they stopped using the 6-color DCU uniforms?

:The USMC used woodland-patterned vests all the way through to the Second Battle of Fallujah in November 2004, and you can see them in many of the photos taken of the battle. The coyote brown variant of the Interceptor wasn't produced until after the invasion of Afghanistan (and the Interceptor started mass production in 1999 in only woodland camo) so it is accurate for the Marines to be wearing a mix of coyote-brown and woodland vests during the rough time frame between 2003 and 2005. --[[User:Markit|Markit]] ([[User talk:Markit|talk]]) 23:56, 5 January 2015 (EST)

==M14s look like M1As==

== Kyle's sidearm ==

In a picture from an article about Bradley Cooper's experience with sniper rifles during preproduction, Cooper appears to be carrying a 1911 of some sort. It could possibly be a Springfield TRP like Chris Kyle said that he carried in his first deployment. In his later deployments Kyle carried a Sig p220 to replace the Springfield that was damaged by shrapnel.
