<random> @@@ Justin Hammer (Sam Rockwell): This is the FN-2000 from Belgium. They do make something better than waffles. -- Iron Man 2 @@@ Justin Hammer (Sam Rockwell): This is an M134 seven-sixty-two minigun. Six individual barrels. The Torso Taker, Powder Maker. Our boys in uniform call it 'Uncle Gazpacho' or 'Puff the Magic Dragon'. -- Iron Man 2 @@@ Ash (Bruce Campbell): Alright you Primitive Screwheads, listen up! You see this? This... is my boomstick! The twelve-gauge double-barreled Remington. S-Mart's top of the line. You can find this in the sporting goods department. That's right, this sweet baby was made in Grand Rapids, Michigan. Retails for about a hundred and nine, ninety five. It's got a walnut stock, cobalt blue steel, and a hair trigger. That's right. Shop smart. Shop S-Mart. You got that? --Army of Darkness @@@ Officer Jack Traven (Keanu Reeves): Pop quiz, a*****e! You got a hair trigger pointed at your head, what do you do? What do you do? --Speed @@@ Tank (Marcus Chong): So what do you need? Besides a miracle.
Neo (Keanu Reeves): Guns. Lots of guns. --The Matrix @@@ Anthony "Swoff" Swofford (Jake Gyllenhaal): The M16A2 service rifle is a lightweight air-cooled, gas-operated, magazine-fed shoulder weapon. It fires a 5.56mm ball projectile at a muzzle velocity of 2,800 feet per second. This is my rifle. Repeat after me! --Jarhead @@@ Captain Mike Steele (Jason Isaacs): Anyone comes through this door, you give 'em two in the chest and one in the head, got it? --Black Hawk Down @@@ Art Ridzik (James Belushi): Captain Danko, you are now the proud owner of the most powerful handgun in the world.
Ivan Danko (Arnold Schwarzenegger): Soviet Podbyrin nine-point-two millimeter is world's most powerful handgun.
Art Ridzik : Come on, everybody knows the Magnum forty-four is the big boy on the block. Why do you think Dirty Harry uses it?
Ivan Danko : Who is Dirty Harry? --Red Heat
@@@ Vincent Vega (John Travolta): Why the f*** didn't you tell us somebody was in the bathroom? Slipped your mind? Did you forget that somebody was in there with a g**damn hand cannon? --Pulp Fiction @@@ Jules Winfield (Samuel L. Jackson): Did you see the size of that gun he fired at us? It was bigger than him! --Pulp Fiction @@@ Ash (Bruce Campbell): Good, bad, I'm the guy with the gun. --Army of Darkness @@@ Deputy US Marshal Sam Gerard (Tommy Lee Jones): I noticed on the boat you finally went with the Glock.
DSS Agent John Royce (Robert Downey Jr.): Yeah, Glock .40, just like yours. --U.S. Marshals @@@ Burt Gummer (Michael Gross): I am completely out of ammo! That's never happened to me before! --Tremors 2: Aftershocks @@@ Burt Gummer (Michael Gross): What do you think, max firepower or this?
Heather Gummer (Reba McEntire): I'd go for penetration. The .458, shootin' solids, less ammo to carry. -- Tremors @@@ Burt Gummer (Michael Gross): Grizzly single-shot, fifty caliber BMG based on a World War One anti-tank cartridge.
Earl Bassett (Fred Ward): Anti-tank?
Burt Gummer: Had the bullets custom-cast from solid bronze. --Tremors 2: Aftershocks @@@ Burt Gummer (Michael Gross): Heather's not coming back.
Earl Bassett (Fred Ward): No?
Burt Gummer: Called me and told me to send her the HK91. Tremors 2: Aftershocks @@@ Earl Bassett (Fred Ward): Shotguns? We're not hunting rabbits down here, Burt!
Burt Gummer (Michael Gross): Not shotguns, double rifles! Elephant guns! Westley-Richards .480, 375 H and H mag. Knock-down power up the ying-yang, treat them well! But hold them good and tight to your shoulder or it'll break your collarbone! --Tremors 2: Aftershocks @@@ Tony Montana (Al Pacino): Say hello to my little friend! --Scarface @@@ Jericho Cane (Arnold Schwarzenegger): Between your faith and my Glock nine millimeter, I take my Glock. --End of Days @@@ Jericho Cane (Arnold Schwarzenegger): You take the gun. Line up the sight with your target. Beware of the recoil. Here's the magazine, put it in, load, only pull the trigger when you're ready. --End of Days @@@ The Terminator (Arnold Schwarzenegger): Twelve gauge autoloader.
Pawn Shop Clerk (Dick Miller): That's Italian. It can go pump, or auto. --The Terminator @@@ The Terminator (Arnold Schwarzenegger): The .45 Long Slide, with laser sighting.
Pawn Shop Clerk (Dick Miller): These are brand new; we just got them in. That's a good gun. Just touch the trigger, the beam comes on and you put the red dot where you want the bullet to go. You can't miss. Anything else?
The Terminator: Phased-plasma rifle in the forty watt range.
Pawn Shop Clerk: Hey, just what you see, pal. --The Terminator @@@ The Terminator (Arnold Schwarzenegger): The Uzi nine millimeter.
Pawn Shop Clerk (Dick Miller): You know your weapons, buddy! Any of these is ideal for home defense. So...which will it be?
The Terminator: All.
Pawn Shop Clerk: I may close early today. --The Terminator @@@ Billy Clanton (Thomas Haden Church): Why, it's the drunk piano player. You're so drunk, you can't hit nothin'. In fact, you're probably seeing double.
Doc Holliday (Val Kilmer): I have two guns, one for each of ya. --Tombstone @@@ Wyatt Earp (Kurt Russell): Give Doc the shotgun. They'll be less apt to get nervy if he's on the Street Howitzer. --Tombstone @@@ Capt. Miller (Tom Hanks): Keep the sand out of your weapons! Keep those actions clear! I'll see you on the beach! --Saving Private Ryan @@@ Ordell Robbie (Samuel L. Jackson): AK-47! When you absolutely positively have to kill every motherf***er in the room, accept no substitutes! --Jackie Brown @@@ Dog (Frank Harper): What the f**k is that?
Mickey (Ronnie Fox): It's me Bren Gun.
Dog: Couldn't you have thought of something more practical? --Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels @@@ Gunnery Sergeant Hartman (R. Lee Ermey): The deadliest weapon in the world is a Marine and his rifle. --Full Metal Jacket @@@ Private James T. "Joker" Davis (Matthew Modine): Are those... live rounds?
Private Leonard "Gomer Pyle" Lawrence (Vincent D'Onofrio): Seven-six-two millimeter. Full. Metal. Jacket. --Full Metal Jacket @@@ Jules Winfield (Samuel L. Jackson): We should have shotguns for this kind of deal. --Pulp Fiction @@@ Gunnery Sergeant Thomas Highway (Clint Eastwood): This is the AK-47 assault rifle, the preferred weapon of your enemy, and it makes a very distinctive sound when fired at you, so remember it. --Heartbreak Ridge @@@ Dwight (Clive Owen): (narrating) Where to fight counts for a lot...
Manute (Michael Clarke Duncan): Cute trick, McCarthy... but it will do you no good...
Dwight: But there's nothing like having your friends show up... With lotsa guns... --Sin City @@@ Sergeant Hodges (Matt Gerald): What is this?
Robert (Josh Hutcherson): A rifle.
Sergeant Hodges: That's right, motard. A Marine and his rifle, is the baddest s***-kicking weapon in the world! --Red Dawn (2012) @@@ John Hartigan (Bruce Willis): (narrating) He's a decent shot. He's got skill, but he's in too much of a hurry. Throwing away bullets like they were candy. He doesn't know how to take his time. Aim careful and look the devil in the eye. -- Sin City @@@ Yuri Orlov (Nicolas Cage): Since the end of the Cold War, the Kalashnikov has become the Russian people's greatest export. After that comes vodka, caviar, and suicidal novelists. One thing is for sure: no one was lining up to buy their cars. --Lord of War @@@ Hicks (Michael Biehn): I like to keep this handy (pumps shotgun)...for close encounters. --Aliens @@@ Dominic (Rupert Graves): What do you think will happen?
Finch (Stephen Rea): What usually happens when people without guns stand up to people with guns. --V for Vendetta @@@ Creedy (Tim Pigott-Smith): Bollocks. Whatchya gonna do, huh? We've swept this place. You've got nothing. Nothing but your bloody knives and your fancy karate gimmicks. We have guns.
V (Hugo Weaving): No, what you have are bullets, and the hope that when your guns are empty I'm no longer standing, because if I am you'll all be dead before you've reloaded. --V for Vendetta @@@ William Munny (Clint Eastwood): I see you still have that Spencer rifle.
Ned Logan (Morgan Freeman): Yeah... And I can still knock the eye off a bird flyin' too. --Unforgiven @@@ Agent Al D’Andrea (Dylan McDermott): You knew the gun was empty, right? I mean, you knew from the weight of the gun, that the chamber was empty, am I right?
Agent Frank Horrigan (Clint Eastwood): Well, there could have been one bullet. --In the Line of Fire @@@ Joe/The Man With No Name (Clint Eastwood): When a man with a .45 meets a man with a rifle, you said, the man with a pistol's a dead man. Let's see if that's true. Go ahead, load up and shoot. --A Fistful of Dollars @@@ Frank Castle (Thomas Jane): Your 1911 Colts, you've done something to them.
Frank Castle Sr. (Roy Scheider): Yeah, I bored the chambers, customized the triggers, and added some compensators. They used to be pretty good; now they're nail drivers. --The Punisher (2004) @@@ Insp. Harry Callahan (Clint Eastwood): I know what you're thinking. "Did he fire six shots or only five?" Well, to tell you the truth, in all this excitement, I kind of lost track myself. But being as this is a .44 Magnum, the most powerful handgun in the world, and would blow your head clean off, you've got to ask yourself one question; "Do I feel lucky?" Well, do ya, punk? --Dirty Harry @@@ Superintendent Pang (Philip Chan): Give a guy a gun, he thinks he's Superman. Give him two and he thinks he's God! --Hard Boiled @@@ Ah Jong (Chow Yun-Fat): Easy to pick up, hard to put down. --The Killer @@@ Deputy US Marshal Sam Gerard (Tommy Lee Jones): Got a backup weapon?
Special Agent John Royce (Robert Downey Jr.): Never had the need.
Gerard: Get one. Keep it in your suit unless I tell you to take it out. Get yourself a Glock and lose that nickel-plated sissy pistol. --U.S. Marshals @@@ Shane (Alan Ladd): A gun is a tool, Marion; no better or worse than the man who uses it. --Shane @@@ Little Bill Daggett (Gene Hackman): Well, sir, you are a cowardly son of a bitch! You just shot an unarmed man!
William Munny (Clint Eastwood): Well, he should have armed himself if he's going to decorate his saloon with my friend. --Unforgiven @@@ Lucky Ned Pepper (Robert Duvall): What's your intention? Do you think one on four is a dogfall?
Rooster Cogburn (John Wayne): I mean to kill you in one minute, Ned. Or see you hanged in Fort Smith at Judge Parker's convenience. Which'll it be?
Lucky Ned Pepper: I call that bold talk for a one-eyed fat man!
Rooster Cogburn: Fill your hand, you son of a bitch! --True Grit (1969) @@@ Goudy (Alfred Ryder): Now is it not true that you sprang up on old man Wharton and his two sons with a deadly, six-shot revolver in your hand?
Rooster Cogburn (John Wayne): I always try to be ready.
Goudy: Was this revolver loaded and cocked?
Rooster Cogburn: Well, a gun that's unloaded and cocked ain't good for nothin'. -- True Grit (1969) @@@ Alexa "Lex" Woods (Sanaa Lathan): Seven seasons on the ice, and I've never seen a gun save someone's life.
Adele Rousseau (Agathe De La Boulaye): I don't plan on using it.
Alexa "Lex" Woods: Then why bring it?
Adele Rousseau: Same principle as a condom. I'd rather have one and not need it, than need one and not have it. --Alien vs. Predator @@@ Josey Wales (Clint Eastwood): Are you gonna pull those pistols or whistle Dixie? --The Outlaw Josey Wales @@@ Insp. Harry Callahan (Clint Eastwood): Well, we're not just gonna let you walk out of here. Crook: Who's "we", sucka? Insp. Harry Callahan: Smith and Wesson... and me. --Sudden Impact @@@ Korean Thug Kim (Walter Wong): What the f*** is this? We said a machine gun!
Tom Ludlow (Keanu Reeves): It is a machine gun.
Korean Boss Kim (Ken Choi): The kind you can carry!
Tom Ludlow: Couldn't get any of those. This baby's got character. Korean War vintage. Maybe even mowed down one of your grandpapa-sans when he was charging the wire at Inchon. -- Street Kings @@@ Valentin Zukovsky (Robbie Coltrane): Walther PPK, Seven-Point-Six-Five-Millimeter. Only three men I know use such a gun... and I believe I've killed two of them.
James Bond (Pierce Brosnan): Lucky me, then. -- GoldenEye @@@ Insp. Harry Callahan (Clint Eastwood): Not bad.
Horace King (Albert Popwell): Not bad, my ass! You've got to strain the remains for the fingerprints!
Insp. Harry Callahan: Well, this is the .44 Magnum Auto Mag and it holds a 300 grain cartridge. And, if properly used, it can remove the fingerprints. -- Sudden Impact @@@ Casey (Thomas Jane): [to himself] There's a .45 in the fridge and you grab a f**king frying pan. I must have some really bad karma. -- Thursday @@@ Gillom Rogers (Ron Howard): Mr. Books, my grouping of shots was tighter than yours. How is it you've killed so many men?
John Bernard Books (John Wayne): First thing is, that target wasn't shooting back at you. Second, most men at that last second will flinch; I won't. --The Shootist @@@ Marlboro Man (Don Johnson): Forty-four Mag Desert Eagle. Eight in the clip, one in the pipe. That's nice, man. -- Harley Davidson and the Marlboro Man @@@ Marlboro Man (Don Johnson): Guns are made to be shot, Harley, not thrown. -- Harley Davidson and the Marlboro Man @@@ Marlboro Man (Don Johnson): Squeeze the trigger, Harley, don't yank it. It's not your d***! -- Harley Davidson and the Marlboro Man @@@ Marlboro Man (Don Johnson): Hey, Harley, why don't you throw that shotgun? Maybe you'll hit something! -- Harley Davidson and the Marlboro Man @@@ Guard (Jordan Lund): You're about the deadest shot I've ever seen. Where'd you learn to do that?
Marlboro Man (Don Johnson): Read a book, it came with the gun. -- Harley Davidson and the Marlboro Man @@@ Yuri Orlov (Nicolas Cage): There are over five hundred and fifty million firearms in worldwide circulation. That's one firearm for every twelve people on the planet. The only question is: How do we arm the other eleven? --Lord of War @@@ Yuri Orlov (Nicolas Cage): Of all the weapons in the vast Soviet arsenal, nothing was more profitable than Avtomat Kalashnikova model of 1947. More commonly known as the AK-47, or Kalashnikov. It's the world's most popular assault rifle. A weapon all fighters love. An elegantly simple 9-pound amalgamation of forged steel and plywood. It doesn't break, jam, or overheat. It'll shoot whether it's covered in mud or filled with sand. It's so easy, even a child can use it; and they do. --Lord of War @@@ Elliott Marston (Alan Rickman): Ah, the legendary Sharps.
Matthew Quigley (Tom Selleck): You know your weapons. It's a lever-action breech loader. Usual barrel length is thirty inches. This one has an extra four. It's converted to use a special forty-five caliber, hundred and ten grain metal cartridge, with a five-hundred forty grain paper patch bullet. It's fitted with double set triggers, and a Vernier sight. It's marked up to twelve-hundred yards. This one shoots a mite further.
Elliot Marston: An experimental weapon with experimental ammunition.
Matthew Quigley: You could call it that.
Elliot Marston: Let's experiment. -- Quigley Down Under @@@ Matthew Quigley (Tom Selleck): You've got one shot left in that shooter. Make the most of it. -- Quigley Down Under @@@ Casper (Andrew Friedman): What's with all the guns?
Thomas Gabriel (Timothy Olyphant): Operational prudence. Think of them as hardware to your software. --Live Free or Die Hard @@@ Sean Archer (John Travolta): Castor, your time's up.
Castor Troy (Nicolas Cage): (laughs) Well, you better hit me, Sean, 'cause you only got one bullet left.
Sean Archer: So do you.
Castor Troy: Wow! We've got something in common. We both know our guns. --Face/Off @@@ The Caller (Kiefer Sutherland): (chambers rifle) Now doesn't that just torque your jaws? I love that. You know like in the movies just as the good guy is about to kill the bad guy, he cocks his gun. Now why didn't he have it cocked? Because that sound is scary. It's cool, isn't it? --Phone Booth @@@ Bob (Gabriel Byrne): Rule Number One...Never chamber the first round. -- Point of No Return @@@ Turk (Robert De Niro): Most people respect the badge. Everyone respects the gun. -- Righteous Kill @@@ Al Capone (Robert De Niro): I grew up in a tough neighborhood, and we used to say that you can get further with a kind word and a gun then just a kind word. -- The Untouchables (1987) @@@ Roger Murtaugh (Danny Glover): That's some serious sh** you carry.
Martin Riggs (Mel Gibson): Be my guest. (unloads and then hands over the Beretta)
Roger Murtaugh: Nine millimeter Beretta. Takes fifteen in the mag, one up the pipe, wide ejection port, no feed jams. -- Lethal Weapon @@@ Martin Riggs (Mel Gibson): What'd you got in there?
Roger Murtaugh (Danny Glover): Four-inch Smith.
Martin Riggs: Six-shooter, huh? Lot of old timers carry those. -- Lethal Weapon @@@ Martin Riggs (Mel Gibson): When I was nineteen, I did a guy in Laos from a thousand yards out. A rifle shot in high wind. Maybe eight or even ten guys in the world could have made that shot. It was the only thing I was ever good at. --Lethal Weapon @@@ Martin Riggs (Mel Gibson): Now that's a real badge, I'm a real cop, and this is a real f***ing gun! -- Lethal Weapon @@@ Insp. Harry Callahan (Clint Eastwood): I just work for the city, Briggs.
Lt. Briggs (Hal Holbrook): So do I. Longer than you. And I never had to take my gun of its holster once. I'm proud of that.
Insp. Harry Callahan: Well, you're a good man, Lieutenant. A good man always knows his limitations. --Magnum Force @@@ Officer Sweet (Tim Matheson): What kind of a load you carry in that .44?
Insp. Harry Callahan (Clint Eastwood): It's a light special. This size gun it gives you better control and less recoil than a .357 with wadcutters. --Magnum Force @@@ Officer Nick Styles (Denzel Washington): You've got an Ithaca thirty-seven twelve gauge sawed-off shotgun with a five pound slide. By the time it takes you to pump it one time, I'll have three bullets in your chest, maybe one in your head and I'll be on my way back to the station eatin' donuts and doing paperwork. Now I love donuts, but I hate the paperwork. --Ricochet @@@ Officer Nick Styles (Denzel Washington): I guess a Beretta in the butt beats a Butterfly in the boot, huh?--Ricochet @@@ Clarence Boddicker (Kurtwood Smith): Ooooo! Guns! Guns! Guns! --RoboCop @@@ Captain Mike Steele (Jason Isaacs): Delta or no Delta, that's a hot weapon. You know better than that. Safety should be on at all times on base.
SFC Norm "Hoot" Gibson (Eric Bana): (raises trigger finger and imitates pulling a trigger) Well, this is my safety, sir. --Black Hawk Down @@@ Marlboro Man (Don Johnson): You know that gun costs about two bucks every time you fire it? That's two bucks a bullet!
Harley Davidson (Mickey Rourke): Well, how many did I hit?
Marlboro Man (Don Johnson): You spent twelve bucks and didn't hit a g**damn thing! --Harley Davidson and the Marlboro Man @@@ Wyatt Earp (Kurt Russell): Go ahead. Skin it. Skin that smoke wagon and see what happens. --Tombstone @@@ LAPD Helicopter Pilot (Chuck Tamburro): That's a damn Minigun! --Terminator 2: Judgment Day @@@ Sheriff Tod Shaw (Sterling Hayden): Don't play God just because you've got a gun.
John Baron (Frank Sinatra): But you see, Sheriff, that's the way it is. When you've got a gun you are a sort of god. If you had a gun, I'd be the chump and you'd be the god. The gun gives you the power of life and death. --Suddenly @@@ Cody (Danny McBride): It's a pretty cool sidearm you got there. What is it?
Four Leaf Tayback (Nick Nolte): I don't know what it's called. I just know the sound it makes when it takes a man's life. --Tropic Thunder @@@ Charlie Simms (Chris O'Donnell): Where did you get the gun, Colonel?
Lt. Col. Frank Slade (Al Pacino): Piece or weapon, Charlie, never a gun. --Scent of a Woman @@@ Jimmy Malone (Sean Connery): You, carry a badge?
Wallace (Charles Martin Smith): Yes?
Malone: Carry a gun. -- The Untouchables (1987) @@@ Jimmy Malone (Sean Connery): Oh what's the matter? Can't you talk with a gun in your mouth? --The Untouchables (1987) @@@ Jimmy Malone (Sean Connery): Ain't that just like a w**? Brings a knife to a gunfight! --The Untouchables (1987) @@@ Bones Darley (John Goodman): (picks up Colt Python) You've got the bastards of bastards. A three-fifty-seven, for guaranteed head removal. That's... that's a sweetie. (picks up an M1911A1) You got your standard size forty-five supersize. That's a f***in' Hungryman right there! (picks up Desert Eagle) And you got the king of mayhem. Half cannon, sword of justice. Take this f***er to the Holy Land start your own crusade. Any one of these is bound to make you feel better about what's bothering you. -- Death Sentence @@@ Bones Darley (John Goodman): Go with God....and a bag full of guns. -- Death Sentence @@@ Det. Matthew Sykes (James Caan): What in the hell's this?
Range Master: Four-five-four Casull. We're talking twice the impact energy of a .44 Magnum Hot Load.
Sykes: Only holds five.
Range Master: Shells are too big for six in the cylinder. Hell, Matt, you only need one!
Sykes: No...two. -- Alien Nation @@@ Blondie (Clint Eastwood): Every gun makes its own tune. --The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly @@@ Blondie (Clint Eastwood): Six, the perfect number.
Angel Eyes (Lee Van Cleef): I thought three was the perfect number.
Blondie: I've got six more bullets in my gun. --The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly @@@ Blondie (Clint Eastwood): You see, in this world, there's two kinds of people, my friend. Those with loaded guns...and those who dig. --The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly @@@ Gunnery Sgt. Thomas Beckett (Tom Berenger): Their idea of combat is tearing up the countryside with heavy artillery and millions of rounds. We'll wait days, for one shot, one kill. -- Sniper @@@ Thomas Beckett (Tom Berenger): Your weapon, Miller! It's your life! You knew that, and you saved it. -- Sniper @@@ Pete Clemenza (Richard S. Castellano): Leave the gun. Take the cannoli. --The Godfather @@@ Pete Clemenza (Richard S. Castellano): This is as cold as they come. Impossible to trace, so you don't worry about prints, Mike. I put a special tape on the trigger and the butt. Here, try it. -- The Godfather @@@ Pete Clemenza (Richard S. Castellano): Here, try it. What's the matter, trigger too tight?
Michael Corleone (Al Pacino): (Fires the S&W 36) Madonna! My ears!
Pete Clemenza: I left it loud on purpose. Yeah, I left it noisy. That way it scares any pain-in-the-ass innocent bystanders away. -- The Godfather @@@ Pete Clemenza (Richard S. Castellano): All right, you shot them both, now what do you do?
Michael Corleone (Al Pacino): Sit down and finish my dinner.
Pete Clemenza: Come on, kid, don't fool around. Just let your hand drop to your side and the gun slip out. Everyone will still think you've got it. -- The Godfather @@@ Sonny Corleone (James Caan): What do you think, this is the Army where you shoot 'em a mile away? You've gotta get up close like this, Badabing! You blow their brains all over your nice Ivy League suit! --The Godfather @@@ Sonny Corleone (James Caan): I want somebody good, and I mean, very good to plant that gun. I don't want my brother comin' out of that toilet with just his d*** in his hands, all right? -- The Godfather @@@ Easy Andy (Steven Prince): You interested in an automatic? It's a Colt twenty-five automatic. It's a nice little gun. It's a beautiful little gun. Holds six shots in the clip, one in the chamber, if you're dumb enough to put a round in the chamber. -- Taxi Driver @@@ Easy Andy (Steven Prince): The Magnum, they use that in Africa for killin' elephants. -- Taxi Driver @@@ Easy Andy (Steven Prince): That .38, that's a fine gun. Some of these guns, they're like toys. That .38, you go out and hammer nails with it all day, come back and it will cut dead center on target every time. It's got a really nice action to it, and a heck of a wallup to it. -- Taxi Driver @@@ Travis Bickle (Robert De Niro): You got a .44 Magnum?
Easy Andy (Steven Prince): It's a real expensive weapon.
Travis Bickle: That's all right. I got money.
Easy Andy: It's a real monster. Stop a car at a hundred yards. Put a round right through the engine block. -- Taxi Driver @@@ Mac (Bill Duke): I know one thing, Major. I drew down and fired straight at it. Capped off two hundred rounds in the minigun, full pack...nothing, on this earth could have lived. Not at that range. -- Predator @@@ Nicholas Parsons (Bruce Greenwood): Are you going to do something?
Travis Lehman (Tommy Lee Jones): What are you looking at me for? She's the one with the gun! --Double Jeopardy @@@ DS Andy Wainwright (Paddy Considine): You do know there are more guns in the country than there are in the city?
DC Andy Cartwright (Rafe Spall): Everybody and their mums is packing 'round here.
Sgt. Nicholas Angel (Simon Pegg): Like who?
DS Andy Wainwright: Farmers.
Sgt. Nicholas Angel: Who else?
DC Andy Cartwright: Farmers' mums. -- Hot Fuzz @@@ Casey Ryback (Steven Seagal): "I'm going to give this assault rifle, it's an MP5. There's a selector switch on it, one is fully automatic and one is semi-automatic. The definition of semi-automatic is for when you depress the trigger, one round will go off. That's what I wanna give you, I want you to spend one round at a time!" -- Under Siege @@@ Casey Ryback (Steven Seagal): "This is a .45, okay? Dynamic tension, left hand, right hand, palms pressed together, okay? Cover your ass, twelve, three, six, nine, wherever you look, always. Never look in a direction where the gun ain't pointed." -- Under Siege 2: Dark Territory @@@ Brad Whitaker (Joe Don Baker): "You've had your eight, now I'll have my eighty! Sorry to say your popgun is no match for the latest body armor!" -- The Living Daylights @@@ Beatrix Kiddo (Uma Thurman): You pretty good with that shotgun?
Karen Kim (Helen Kim): Not that I have to be at this range, but I'm a f***ing surgeon with this shotgun! -- Kill Bill Vol. 2 @@@ SFC Norm "Hoot" Gibson (Eric Bana): Nice, man! Very smooth!
MSGT Gary Gordon (Nikolaj Coster-Waldau): Single shot through the engine block! -- Black Hawk Down @@@ Sgt. Joe Gavilan (Harrison Ford): You got a live gun here, you're gonna get yourself shot!
Det. K.C. Calden (Josh Hartnett): What are you talkin' about? It's a standard issue Beretta, fifteen shots, I counted! Sgt. Joe Gavilan: And one in the spout! -- Hollywood Homicide @@@ Chance Boudreaux (Jean Claude Van Damme): You still got the thirty-aught-six? The one I give you for your birthday? Uncle Douvee (Wilford Brimley): No, a gator ate it. But, uh, I still got your shotgun. -- Hard Target @@@ Officer Harris (Ray Baker): I did two tours in Vietnam, and there are two things you never forget: how many days you were in, and the sound of a Chinese-made AK-47 machine gun. -- 44 Minutes: The North Hollywood Shootout @@@ Officer Harris (Ray Baker): Those two guys were packin' AK's, and I had a 9 millimeter Beretta. I was in the wrong place with the wrong gun! -- 44 Minutes: The North Hollywood Shootout @@@ Officer Donnie Anderson (Ron Livingston): Guys, we're looking at multiple suspects, assault rifles, and body armor. Do not deploy the MP5's, leave 'em in the trunk. We're going to go .223's only! -- 44 Minutes: The North Hollywood Shootout @@@ Det. Gina Calabrese (Elizabeth Rodriguez): What will happen is, what will happen is, I will put a round at 2700 feet per second into the medulla at the base of your brain. And you'll be dead from the neck down before your body knows it. Your finger won't even twitch, only you get dead. So tell me, Sport, do you believe that? -- Miami Vice (2006) @@@ Frank Costello (Jack Nicholson): When I was your age, they used to say, "you become cops or criminals". What I'm saying to you is this, when you're facing a loaded gun, what's the difference? -- The Departed @@@ Lt. Col. Nathan Jessup (Jack Nicholson): Son, we live in a world that has walls, and those walls have to be guarded by men with guns. Who's going to do it, you? -- A Few Good Men @@@ FBI Director Womack (John Spencer): Well, earlier today you wanted a gun. Now you're getting a gun and a wetsuit. -- The Rock @@@ Dr. Stanley Goodspeed (Nicolas Cage): Well, there's a problem, sir, he's got a gun!
Special Agent Ernest Paxton (William Forsythe): What do you have, a f***in' water pistol? -- The Rock @@@ Alley Agent (Robert Thomas): Hey, honey, this is a real big f**king gun!
Mitch Henessey (Samuel L. Jackson): This ain't no ham on rye, Pal!

Sgt. Kirkland: One fifty-eight grain jacketed semi-wadcutter man stoppers.
Officer Tackleberry: Sensible weapon. -- Police Academy 2: Their First Assignment @@@ Officer Tackleberry (David Graf): I use a factory accurised Detonics .45 Scoremaster. It's got the extended barrel for the silencer, short hammerfall, and I load it with 230 grain full patch rounds. It's primarily for stopping power.
Sgt. Kirkland (Colleen Camp): On the other hand, if you want penetration, a .357 round will crack the engine block of a truck.
Officer Tackleberry: I can see where that would be useful. -- Police Academy 2: Their First Assignment @@@ Spurgeon (Jim Zubiena): You checked out a Charter Arms .44 Special Bulldog?

Leave this round in the chamber, Colonel. -- Courage Under Fire @@@ Julia: Why are you giving me a gun?

Platoon is a 1986 Vietnam War film written and directed by Oliver Stone, who based his screenplay upon his own experiences as a combat infantryman in both the 1st Cavalry Division and the 25th Infantry Division. The film follows a rifle platoon in Bravo Company, 22nd Infantry Regiment, 25th Infantry Division, primarily through the eyes of Private Chris Taylor (Charlie Sheen), a young idealistic soldier on his first tour of duty in 1967. Throughout the film, Taylor experiences the conflict between two competing senior NCOs - the brave and compassionate Staff Sergeant Elias (Willem Dafoe) and hardened, ruthless Staff Sergeant Robert Barnes (Tom Berenger). The film is notable for its realistic depiction of soldiers fighting the war (up until then, the war had been depicted in a more surrealistic and stylized fashion in such films as Apocalypse Now and The Deer Hunter) and for being the first movie for which the actors were put through a "boot camp" (organized by technical adviser and Vietnam veteran Dale Dye) to gain experience on proper weapons handling and the day-to-day existence of a soldier fighting in Vietnam. It was filmed in the Philippines on the island of Luzon: local Vietnamese refugees played extras, and like Apocalypse Now, the production received assistance from and was loaned equipment by the Philippine military.

Released to widespread critical acclaim, the film was nominated for eight Academy Awards and received four, including the awards for Best Picture and Best Director. While the Vietnam War had been portrayed or referenced in several films prior, the success of Platoon helped usher in a new era of more serious and realistic depictions of the conflict. Among the films of this era would include Full Metal Jacket and Hamburger Hill (both released in 1987), Platoon Leader and BAT*21 (both released in 1988) as well as The Iron Triangle and The Siege of Firebase Gloria (both released in 1989). Platoon was also the first in Stone's unofficial "trilogy" of Vietnam War-themed films which included 1989's Born on the Fourth of July and 1993's Heaven & Earth. In 2019, the film was selected for preservation in the United States National Film Registry by the Library of Congress as being "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant".


The following weapons were used in the film Main Page:


Rifles / Carbines

M16

Specialist Crawford (Chris Pedersen) is briefly seen using what appears to be an original M16. The rifle has an A1 flash hider, but lacks a forward assist. It could also be an AR-15/SP1 rifle, but since he is not seen firing it, it is unknown.

M16A1

U.S. Army soldiers of the 1st Platoon, Bravo Company, 25th Infantry Division "Tropic Lightning" carry M16A1s, are most commonly seen in the hands of Private Chris Taylor (Charlie Sheen), Gator Lerner (Johnny Depp), Big Harold (Forest Whitaker), Manny (Corkey Ford), Francis (Corey Glover) and Sergeant Red O'Neill (John C. McGinley).

Colt Model 653P

Staff Sergeant Elias (Willem Dafoe), Staff Sergeant Robert Barnes (Tom Berenger), and Lieutenant Wolfe (Mark Moses) are armed with Colt Model 653P carbines, noted by their rounded forward assist buttons and 14.5" barrels, as the 653Ps were 653 export models sent to the Philippines. It is anachronistic to see these carbines in the movie, as they were not used during the Vietnam war, however they were probably likely meant to stand in for the XM177E1 or XM177E2 Carbines and because filming took place in the Philippines, the Colt 653P carbines were what was available for filming.

Norinco Type 56

The Norinco Type 56 is the weapon of choice of the NVA soldiers, many of which feature "pig-sticker" under folder bayonets. They are noted as Chinese Type 56 rifles based on their hooded front sights. Only the milled receiver variant of this rifle was actually used during the war. Towards the end of the film, both SSG Robert Barnes (Tom Berenger) and PVT Chris Taylor (Charlie Sheen) are seen using these rifles, picked up from dead Vietnamese soldiers.

Handguns

M1911A1

The M1911A1 is the standard sidearm for all of the NCOs and Officers in the film. It is most prominently seen used by SSG Elias (Willem Dafoe) when he does tunnel rat duty and SSG Barnes (Tom Berenger) when he uses it to threaten a little girl in the village to get her father to talk. Historically the M1911 was also carried by private soldiers in the field as a backup weapon - Though this was technically a breach of the military rules of the times very few serious attempts were ever made to prevent the practice.
