What Movie(s) Inspired You To Buy A Firearm?

[printcraft]

...... Also after watching the Dirty Harry's I still want a S&W 629 but haven't bought one yet. This has been on my list for many-many years but I can't seem to find a nice old one at a good price. Another.........

Same here, Wanting the 629

The Wind and the Lion for my weakness for 97 Winchester shotguns. Red Dawn for the RPK. The Rat Patrol for my Browning belt fed. And I can't remember the name of the Clint Eastwood movie where he has the Broomhandle Mauser. This list could be several pages in length. I am a Victim of Hollywood Marketing.

The question is... Has CSI Miami inspired anyone to get a 10/22 with a hogue stock?

Terminator 2 - Colt Combat Elite (Blued/stainless 1911)

Most all Steven Segal movies make me want more 1911s.

3:10 to Yuma makes me want to get a Schofield in a bad way...

Quigley Down Under - Sharps

Ace Ventura- Pet Detective---I wanted to shoot the TV after the first 10 minutes

 

[VN Vet]

For me it would have to have been a Roy Rogers film. When we got our first TV in 1954, he and Gene Autry were the first ones I remember. I guess that is why Colt's SAA is and always will be my favorite handgun. I was five.

I blame every Arnold Schwarzenegger movie ever made for me wanting a Desert Eagle. They just looked so cool, but decided that I just had no reason to own one.

The Matrix is the reason I went and bought a DE.I think just old westerns in general made me want to get a lever action. Oh yeah, Jurassic Park with the tactical shotguns. Enemy at the Gates, now have 2 Mosins but still need a Mauser and the Nagant Revolver.

One word: HEAT. I want all of them. The shorty M16, the FAL, the HK91. I got goosebumps all over just thinking about them.

Rambo First Blood. Always wanted an M60.

 

[Revelations]

Enemy at the Gates, now have 2 Mosins but still need a Mauser and the Nagant Revolver.

Good call on Enemy at the Gates. Ive wanted a Mosin since I saw the movie and after firing a Mosin at this weekends NWI Group Shoot. Its the next on the "gotta have" gun list.

I'll admit it, Mad Max makes me want a sawed 12ga double barrel.

and Terminator 2 has me interested in a IAC 87w

 

[paddling_man]

not a movie, but the vince flynn books inspired me to buy a g19... and is continuing to inspire me to buy ammo, and suppressors and the such... i highly suggest his novels.

But they haven't inspired you to move onto a Five-Seven like Mitch?

(He moved to a Five-Seven in the books because FN sent Vince a free Five-Seven. Get this manufacturers... want your gun featured? Send him a free gun. It would work for me! Where's my darned typewriter...)


I like the Rapp books too!

The Matrix and a few James Bond movies got me wanting a Walther P99. I one upped Bond though and got the .40 instead of the 9mm.

This web site is a great find:

The care-bears movie. Would be just like shooting rats. lmao

 

[nawainwright]

I haven't seen anyone mention this one yet: Beretta's, Boondock Saints

 

[spartan933]

And I can't remember the name of the Clint Eastwood movie where he has the Broomhandle Mauser..

The film was Joe Kidd.

In particular, the film Street Kings with Keanu Reeves inspired me to buy a 1911. I now have a Kimber Tactical Pro II.

Here is a good search engine for movies and guns.

Dirty Harry inspired me to purchase a Dan Wessen 44 mag with a 8" barrel - still have it!

 

[Ryninger]

The Punisher... Always was a fun of 1911's before hand, had to get a couple after watching!
