      Where do you even get something that looks like that, jfc, you'd have to go out of your fricking way for that to look like that and you know why? Media firms are owned by the mob, they make money thanks to sanctions which they're basically exploiting and then pump and dump the stock market to launder it back to China. Yes, launder it BACK to China, that's how they do business.

        It's a flashpowder gun, they're designed to be a super cheap simple option for giving to extras so they can have something gun-like in their hand that makes a flash. They're never supposed to be in focus like that, they're for guys in the background

    It's not really. Only The Sopranos has truly god awful gun depictions but all you frickers excuse it cause "funny Italian guys say racist and misogynistic things" ecks dee!

    For all the (justified) complaining you guys do about /misc/, everyone here considers this the best written show cause a bunch of overweight and or ugly white guys freely utter the word ni**er and plenty other racist / homophobic slurs

        Blacks worship the Sopranos though. Constantly referencing it in song lyrics and even a couple "big name" Black folk in the rap industry sampled the theme for their beats

    When they try to get it right you get Alec Baldwin killing some broad on the set of "Rust". People with skills are not hired. They hire nepobabies.

      I don't understand how someone dies on that set but on a set like Saving Private Ryan or Hacksaw Ridge no one dies? Despite your opinions on those movies you gotta admire the use of practical effects all throughout. How did one of those re created WW2 weapons not have the same oversights? How did one of the hundreds of squib packs they use not severely injure/kill an actor/crew member? That's just with those smaller technicalities then of course there's plenty of stuntmen near/essentially in actual explosions (minus shrapnel of course). Then there's people being cooked alive by flamethrowers and all that. I just don't get how no major accidents occurred compared to a one on one incident such as with Baldwin or Brandon Lee

        Because Spielberg presumably paid for real armorers probably from the same talented pool him and Lucas used on Star Wars and Indiana Jones, not some armorers daughter who never did a film job all on her own

        Practically every single movie and television production up until around 2010 went through Stembridge Gun Rentals if they needed guns. They were professionals with an absolutely staggering collection and track record going all the way back to the early days of Hollywood. Most of the interesting and historically significant ones got auctioned off to private collectors when they closed their doors and the rest wound up with smaller companies.

        and it's easier to do it all in one take instead of shooting a separate closeup with a better looking prop, so you get this shot.

    Isn't this that scene from Breaking Bad where that fat turd (I can't remember his name, and I hate lowlife criminals) gets flushed? The one that stole his mom's RV? Watching him plop onto the pavement gave me primal joy, acted or not.

    guns are devices used to advance the plot, not the focus of the show themselves. No one gives a shit if a character points a Glock 19 Gen 5 MOS or a P320 AXG Legion, the point is he's holding a gun

      That's the exact sentiment you would expect from New England nogunz-minded writers and directors. Thank god their train of though aged so horridly and we can all point back at it and laugh. Incredibly missed opportunities to showcase modern pistols and get megabucks from a manufacturer to do so. Ethics and morality be damned, there's ad money to be made!

    That's a common film Easter egg prop gun, its included movies as a joke, but otherwise its because when you watch actual first person or third person footage of guns they don't actually look that interesting when compared to film guns where they tone up the explosions

      This is correct, it's been in numerous films and television shows in both a black and a silvery/nickel finish. It's the "Lady Remington" non-descript pocket pistol.
      Picrel was pulled on Christian Bail in the movie Shaft.
      Tina Fey shot Wayne Brady with one in 30 Rock.
      John gets shot with one in New Amsterdam.
      Gretchen shoots several guards with one in Prison Break.
      That little gangbanger Tomas shoots a rival dealer with one in Breaking Bad.
      Rabbi carries and uses one throughout My Mother, the Spy.

        To add, "Non Descript Pocket Pistol" is the actual name of this model. It's produced by ISS, Independent Studio Services, as part of their "Non Guns" line of faux firearms for film production. While most of their "arms" are replicas of real weapons, many only bare a passing resemblance. Some haven't been modeled after anything in particular, including the "Non Descript Pocket Pistol" aka "Lady Remington."

    They aren't. They are probably better with guns than 99% of other technical areas. I assume you just have no real skills, so you have never had to sit through a movie being far far worse about another area of knowledge you have. Like I could name a half dozen movies with pretty accurate usage or representation of firearms. I can name zero with an accurate look t IT.

    They suck at most things. You just happen to know a lot about guns and notice how bad those are depicted by the entertainment industry.

    Of all the "specialist" things I'm somewhat good at there is more of a nonsense in the entertainment industry than actual correct pieces. This sentiment is echoed by most of my peers ranging from engineers of all kinds and shapes all the way to medics and lawyers.
