Trouble Man (1972)

Trouble Man is a 1972 Blaxploitation film directed by Ivan Dixon starring Robert Hooks, Paul Winfield, and Ralph Waite. The film would be otherwise forgettable if not for its soundtrack by R&B/soul legend Marvin Gaye, who incorporated tracks from the soundtrack into his live performances for the rest of his career.

The following guns were used in the film Trouble Man (1972):
