because sometimes it's just cheaper to have a prop gun than having to pay an armorer
why the frick couldn't they just use an airsoft glock beats the frick out of me though
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 >Inb4 why do you know this kys wigger
t. know your enemy
Sir, this is /k/, not PrepHole
And the Sopranos is widely considered one of the best if not THE best shows to ever grace the airwaves, by nearly every critic and reviewer, both mainstream and indie. Go cry somewhere else
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.
That would explain a lot given that scene is just shit in general >vito appears out of nowhere with a prop gun when every other gun in the show was "real" >close up on gun shot, then suddenly scene goes to jackie jr falling into a pile of snow with blood already covering it >vito takes half an hour to get his fat ass into a car
>then suddenly scene goes to jackie jr falling into a pile of snow
I swear it was a pile of trash bags, because I distinctly remember finding that way more funny than it was supposed to be.
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."
>comes to weapons?
The more things you learn, the more you'll see it's bad at everything. It's jut the things you know that you can notice and recognize as bad. Movies are common denominator product.
>Why is the movie/tv industry so bad when it comes to weapons?
They are dumb about every topic.
You only notice it when it comes to a topic you are well versed in.

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.

have a nice day with a Jericho, israelite.
what the frick sort of fantasy are you babbling about? is this bait?
the only time the show gets brought up here is to laugh at OPs pic.
Sopranos was cool like 10 years ago, but most people find it pretty cringe in hindsight

Uhhhh
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?

because they paid for actual armorers and special effects specialists who knew what they were doing not the moron b***h working on Rust.
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
because they don't randomly mix live ammo with the fakes and casually take the guns to shoot with for funsies

>When they try to get it right you get Alec Baldwin killing some broad on the set of "Rust".
They were doing anything but guns right on the set of Rust buddy.
iirc this scene was rushed because they got tired of Jackie Jr's actor or something like that
That would explain a lot given that scene is just shit in general
>vito appears out of nowhere with a prop gun when every other gun in the show was "real"
>close up on gun shot, then suddenly scene goes to jackie jr falling into a pile of snow with blood already covering it

>then suddenly scene goes to jackie jr falling into a pile of snow
I swear it was a pile of trash bags, because I distinctly remember finding that way more funny than it was supposed to be.
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.
Was there onset drama? Was Jackie Jr's actor as shitty as Jackie Jr?
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.
Same prop used
Where do you think you are
Someone in the chain not listening to their advisors.
because the guns don't matter most of the times

You only notice it when it comes to a topic you are well versed in.
did you just paraphrase Elon Musk's tweet of Michael Crichton, or did you come up with that all by yourself? either way, I'm impressed
Because no-one gives a shit about your autistic hyper fixation. You are just a sub-human moron

Sure there's more, but those are all in the top ten.
What the frick are you talking about, OP? Looks pretty realistic to me. Not every blocky handgun is a Glock.

I'd guess the guy reloaded at the scene of the crime. He wasn't in a hurry
He absolutely WAS in a hurry though, given that he took the valuables and scarpered in a panic.
