Tombstone I ended up with a stainless .45 Vaquero. I had to wait a few years ans I was only about 1 when I saw the movie in the theater. Everytime I watch Bullet (from your signature) I want a chopped down '97!

Saw "Crank - High Voltage" over the weekend. Jason Statham has a fine two-tone XD.

Crank: High Voltage - imfdb :. guns in movies :. movie guns :. the internet movie firearms database

Also, his primary gun throughout the first movie was an XD9.

And do I spot a Serbu Super Shorty in there, too? Yes, I think I do!

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.

Don't forget this C96 Mauser...

James Bond, Goldeneye. I bought my first pistol, a .380 crapper Lorcin that would not even function properly through an entire magazine! lol.

I even had the shoulder holster (still have it)! I pawned the Lorcin off to a guy under the title of 'crapper', but he still bought it.

[MacMan]

Desperado, with Antonio Banderas . Bought me Ruger p95

 

[Apokalypsi]

Every time I watch Lord of War, it just continues to solidify my desire for an AK47.

 

[INRanger]

Way of the gun for my first 1911. Blood diamond/Collateral for my first H&K USP and Hollywood in general for my fascination with the Uzi.

 

[Indy317]

For years I had wanted an AR-15, but just never went all the way to buy one. Then I was watching Hollow Man and I saw the ARs the military guys were carrying. At that moment, I decided I would go ahead and get one. It was a nice rifle, a 20" barrel Bushmaster. I got it at Pops back when they had good prices. I think I did the layaway thing, but I don't remember. I ended up selling it years ago because I needed the money and I broke even on the price I sold it for.

 

[Indy317]

Don't forget the M41-A pulse rifle.

 

[kedie]

"The Longest Day" got me interested in the history and weapons of WWII. Also, John Wayne as Col. Ben Vandervoort of the 505th PIR, inspired me to join the Army.

 

[Revelations]

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.

I did buy a M1 Grand based on the movie the "Big Red One" with Lee Marvin that I watched as a kid.

 

[stormryder]

Resident Evil movies, to name one movie that drove my obssesion.

Got a side question, what were the rifles used in Space: Above and Beyond?
I know the pistols were modified Glocks w/scopes and flash hiders.

 

[Volunteer]

I can't remember which of the old Sean Connery Bond movies it was but it prompted my purchase of a Walther PPKS. In fact, the serial # started with 007. Hated shooting that gun and dumped it within a couple of years. Never been motivated to buy another gun based on a movie since.

 

[IndyGunworks]

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.

 

[bowhunter_1978]

I believe it was Die Hard 2, I couldn't wait to get my hands on one of those "porcelain" Glock 7's that wouldn't show up through airport security!!
