Where can I buy a gun like these? Money is not an issue
>>65209838>gun so shit the guy had 2 of them and killed 0 enemies before dyingwhy would you want one?
>>65209843Because it looks cool. Guns are used as deterrent not to shoot actual people retard
>>65209838Those were literally custom-built for that particular scene and were presumably destroyed/disassembled after filming concluded (it wouldn’t really be legal to resell them on the civilian market).
>>65209838They were custom made from the ground up by the armorer, they're a unique pair.>>65209848I would assume that they went back into the possession of the movie armory company.
>>65209888Doesnt mean they arent for sale
>>65209838>They brought down the apartheid just so we couldn't have thisThis world is run by pure evil.
I think it’s based on the Maneville gun, good luck with that. There’s also an open source one in .22lr.
>>65209890They could be for sale, but not to the general public, Australian law is extremely strict on semi automatic and especially fully automatic weapons, and have fun trying to get them exported out of Australia somehow.>>65209915It has a visual similarity, but they're not based on those.
>>65209838>Where can I buy a gun like these? Money is not an issueThe armorer's name is John Bowring/Bowering. He's Australian, and still quite active in film projects. IMDB has his contact and agent information on the Pro side of things. If money is genuinely no object, you could get an FFL, incorporate as an armoring company, set up a movie project, hire him on to help you duplicate the pieces, and fly him out to the States to do it. If you were willing to keep working as as a film armorer and could break into the business (they're pretty flighty after the recent unpleasantness involving a Baldwin), then you could keep the guns as working stock. I know an old namefag regular over on /tg/ who does movie armory work specifically to keep his post-86 machine guns. If that sounds like too much work, then you could try to open a gun store and make your own as "prototypes". Bowring seemed willing to talk shop in the couple of interviews I've seen, he used some kind of rate-limited cam mechanism and electric triggers with comparatively simple machined drums for the magazines. You might be able to get more clues talking to him, he definitely has that air of old, autistic Gen X-er who desperately wants to share his hobbies with someone new as long as they're willing to listen and put in some work.
>As an inside joke, Bowring named the guns "Andy" (serial no. A1169 - Leet Leetspeak for Andy) and "Larry" (serial no. L2779 - Leet Leetspeak for Larry) after the Wachowskis,That is literally nothing like the leetspeak I remember.
>>65211747Wait, were they actually functional guns? I was always under the impression that they were just props with a propane system or something to generate the muzzle flashes.
>>65211790Making a prop gun practically requires you to make a gun. It’s mechanical and has to cycle and stuff even if it’s just propane.
>>65211790Dude

Building an ACTUAL gun like that (live or blank), would probably be totally doable (compare to the Striker-12 and Pancor Jackhammer), but that would be yet more complicated and take a lot more development, much more time and money, so that's very unlikely to be done on a movie production.
>>65211901>It wasn't an actual 12-Gauge blank gun, rather it used propane and some electrical igniter for the flashes, IIRC, but they still wanted to depict the big cylinder cycling, and timed to the flashes, so you need to build and run that one way or another.OK, that's what I thought. Somebody else was talking it being illegal to resell them and the other post I replied to made it sound like an actual gun mechanism, which surprised me since I remembered the same thing about them just being props, albeit pretty fancy ones.
>>65211901>pancor jackhammerapparently im bitchmade because i cant understand how anyone can look at that thing and think "wow that looks and awesome to carry and shoot"
>>65211986I think it's mechanically interesting, but I never found it a compelling weapon, detachable revolver cylinders like that is just ridiculously bulky and heavy, the Striker-12 (the auto-eject ones), are just more elegant by far, and those things still leave lots to be desired.
>>65211986>>65212073Limp wrist faggots. Get out of /k/
>>65211747He's a very talented guy just reading through this.https://www.matrixfans.net/interview-with-john-bowring-armorer-from-the-matrix-reloaded-2003/I think there was another Australian guy in /tg/ who was a Cat-D class gun owner I vaguely remember speaking to the armourer guy (whose name escapes me) loaning his guns to John for scans and copies as they were uncommon and he had contacts with military armourers still in the army.
>>65212085I'm not saying the Pancor isn't cool, I'm just saying that its practical concept leaves a lot to be desired, which is probably why it never got any contracts from anyone and and all that survives is two and a half prototypes.
>>65211790>>65211826>>65211883>>65211901Mouse's shotguns were not propane-guns, they used 12 gauge blanks (12 gauge is low pressure so you have a fuckload of leeway in regards to safety)They were electrically driven, pretty simple if you think about it. No need for recoil/gas operation.
>>65212138I stand corrected, I'm impressed that he built those brand new from the ground up.
>>65212286It's a lot easier than you think to build a gun if you have access to a CNC machine, are working with shotgun shells, and don't need to care about ergonomics or reloading.While very cool, they would suck ass if used as actual firearms.
>>65209843Mouse was a lover, not a fighter. >>65212138to add, the cylinders on top aren't scopes, they're the electric motors for the drums. Really cool shit
>>65212312>loverMore like a coomer
