A former technical adviser and gun fight choreographer—who has asked not to be named—says that firearm companies can forge kinships with certain films. “Lone Survivor” (2013), which narrates a SEAL counter-insurgency mission in Afghanistan, allegedly received $250,000 from Beretta for a product placement deal. He states that they replaced all existent handguns with their own .45s model; in reality, the SEALs would have carried Sig Sauer p226 and Kimber 1911s.

interesting [hmmm]
 
"The Glock 17 and the Beretta 92fs models appear most often on-screen, but maintain comparatively low production volumes: either fans do not rush to buy them, or they deliberately produce fewer models in order to seem rare and desirable."

Huh? Really? [laugh][rofl]

Look man, I'm only buying one of those Glocks that I can cock (to sound all hard and BA) right before I'm about to waste a sucka!!!!

One of things i notice is cocking back when you know the gun would have a round in the chamber or worse is when you hear the cock back noise without the action
 
lol obviously they pay to have stuff in movies especially lone survivor I haven't read it in forever but doesn't he have a 308 rifle in the book not a 556?

Despite the fact that he is a convicted felon who has served time in Massachusetts, Mark Wahlberg has handled Berettas, Glocks and SIGs in his various films. My wife just purchased a Glock 19, only because she cannot handle my Ruger GP100. We make purchases based upon real needs, not Hollywood BS.
