Jack ([[George Clooney]]) spends much of the film customizing and sighting a [[Ruger Mini-14]] with a hand-made suppressor he manufactures from various car parts. He also makes a custom case for it. He refers to the gun as a Ruger M14, which is a slight goof since the M14 is a completely different gun. Mathilde ([[Thekla Reuten]]), the customer, also asks the gun's muzzle velocity, to which Jack states "about 360 miles an hour". This is a goof since muzzle velocities are measured in feet, or meters, per second. Ir wouldn't be that bad if his statement didn't translate into 528 feet per second; not even near the muzzle velocity of a real .223 round.
