Which film is responsible for the most gun sales? Hard to argue Enemy At The Gates didn't elevate the garbage rod to sniper rifle in you could buy for only a couple hundred bucks.

when enemy at the gates came out, the mosin nagant was a $45 rifle at the gun show.
God I miss the 2000s. Literally walked into a shop on my 18th and bought a nugget for 80 bucks.
I bought two at a gunshow when I was like 19.
I asked if I could get a couple bucks off if I bought more than one at a time and the dealer looked at the cardboard sign that said "75$ EACH!!!", looked back at me like he was trying to decide if I was making a joke, and said in his most sarcastic voice "Yeah, yell you what sport, I'll knock off five bucks each."
I felt kinda bad for haggling over garbage rods so I bought two $40 spam cans and didn't even try to bargain with him, lol.
oct 97 fayetteville nc gunshow. when it was based.
I bought 2 mosins, 2 GNATZEE MOUSERS, and a NIB mossberg 500, all with ammo, for $325 the 7.62x54r was ironically the most expensive. its before the flood of ammo in 2000 or 01.
The first two rifles I ever bought were a Finnish nugget and an essentially brand new chink SKS with no import markings. Paid $60 for the nugget and $200 for the SKS. This would have been around 04/05.
I got mine in 2010 with a box of steel case Wolf ammo for $80.00 tax incl on labor day.
Easy, Die Hard. So much 80s action movie gun kino
It's any given John Wick movie and it's not even close. It's basically the dinner bell of the gun world for normies and consoomers.
imagine a world where normies buy good guns, and /k/ sits here coping over their shitty PSA build lel
One of the most iconic John Wick guns is a Kimber 1911.
That movie didn't do shit for the mosins reputation at all.
The mosin became popular and known because it was literally the cheapest thing you could get that would still allow you to smite just about any land-bound creature with a heartbeat.
The fact that some or them were capable of paper plate accuracy at 200 meters didn't really matter because everyone was realistically just blasting trash.
This, mosins became bubba's "sniper" because room temp iq normies think any bolt action rifle with a scope is a "sniper rifle"
Every single spaghetti western
Films other than John Wick don't popularize guns as they used to.
It's video games now.
I'll never forgive EA for Battlefield 1. Not because it's a shitty game that completely fucks over World War 1 history but it completely fucked over the supply of World War 1 era surplus.
>but it completely fucked over the supply of World War 1 era surplus
It's not like everyone wants or can afford a shooting Huot
What did john wick popularize? I guess it made more people aware of Taran tactical as a brand, but I dont see any P30s or Taran guns around, Im not convinced it generated significant sales.
My wife bought me a Benelli M4 because she watched john wick lol
>wife
Man did you get fucking lucky, you better treat her right you lucky bastard.
>wife secretly buys a $2,000 gift
>husband not furious about frivolous spending
big if true
Yep...I wanted a Russian 1895 winchester for a decent price. Well fuck me I guess.
2200000 roubles+ tickets to Moscow and paperwork spendings.
Or a quick trip to Ukraine and UPS shipping
>It's video games now.
Yeah. I personally always wondered how many Mark 23s Metal Gear Solid sold. Or Single Action Army's.
it sold me 2 MK23s
RDR2 made me want to get a lever action.
I only bought a .22lr one but regardless, i wanted that action and .22lr means i can use that action a lot without costing a lot
I blame Ian and BF1 almost entirely for ruining surp, and classic firearms in general. We should have gatekept harder.
dude has his elevation set to full power lol
By the screenplay nigga doesn't know how to shoot and adjust the sights. Which is weird for a commissar, even though there must be no commissars in the army at this point of war. The movie itself is pretty goofy, just like most of the Eastern Front movies that came after german Stalingrad.
The Terminator 2 ending scene sold a LOT of pump shotguns.
For the movie that's cast the longest shadow over gun sales/culture it'd be hard to argue against Death Wish.
dirty harry single handedly saved the S&W model 29 and the 44 mag from the dustbin of history. the model was getting cut the next year for lack of sales.
Same with Automag - they were already closed from lack of sales due to unreliability, then the movie refloated dud companies for years trying to sell off parts guns.
Either Dirty Harry, or perhaps old westerns. It's no exaggeration to say that the reason why classic old colts sell for 5 & 6 figures at auction is because of picrel.
Ah yes the Wildey magnum
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wildey
When he kills The Giggler in part 3 is still one of the most satisfying gun kills in any movie, period.

Nobody mentioned Dirty Harry yet, it helped to sell alot of Smith & Wesson Model 29s
holy shit nagger you're blind
Probably Jurassic Park for Spas-12.
Are you on crack? Nevermind the fact that the SPAS-12 is a relatively rare gun with low production numbers in general, Jurassic Park came out in 1993, and the year after the SPAS was import banned under the Clinton AWB.
>actual movie
>supposed to have scenes of shooting raptors
>SPAS-12 is so unreliable that it can't cycle blanks
>turn the jamming into a plot point
That's actually the reason why you don't actually see any SPAS-12 action in Jurassic Park.
>he doesn't realize that very reliable guns will struggle with blanks as well
Or do you not understand how blanks work and why that'd make a gun, with has a specific mechanism with a cause/effect relationship, have trouble functioning properly.
Miami Vice sold S&W 645s, because it was Crocketts gun. Also that series sold alot of Ferrari Testerossas
Bren Ten*
>not Bren Ten
The first season used the Bren Ten, but had to switch because 10mm blanks were virtually handmade.
Stargate for p90s
>film
dumb boomoid naggers
Yep. I can't imagine how many Dracos and M&P15s have been sold because of COD MW1-3.
don't forget a certain game that now clogs the search engine results of a stupid amount of firearms both modern and historical
LA riots
Summer of Floyd
die hard or lethal weapon did beretta sales.
little of anime and mostly hipsters bought c75s
cowboy bebop alone did jerichos
lots of boomers bought single actions due to westerns
me i bought a SXS with 30 in barrels because of 50s cartoons of one over the mantle. it used to be a musket but times changed.
>Mad Max: sawed off shotguns and scopes magnums
> Dirty Harry: .44 magnum
>Jurassic Park: SPAS
>Stargate SG1: P90s, Berettas, MP5s
>Day of the Dead: Uzi
>le garbage rod
A meme created by TFB in like 2016, tourist
have a nice day
Anything with a Desert Eagle.
Admit it, you wanted to be Josh Hartnett dropping skinnies in 2001
John Wick, especially when that creepo homosexual Taran from TaranTactical started simping guns to the production/Keanu
I know we're on /k/, but it really annoyed me in the new movie where every time someone handed Wick a gun, they would spend 30 seconds explaining all the features like they're trying to sell it to him. If they're going to shill, don't make it so blatant.
