Anyone seen this flick? It's new on rental and pretty interesting if you have an interest in firearms.
Basically, the writer says it's an updated version of one of the "Rio" Westerns. I did not find the plot very believable, but the firearms made up for it.
If you rent it on DVD, be sure to watch "Armed and Dangerous" in the Special Features area. The movie's gun guy talks about what was used.
Tactical guys in the flick had H&K 9mm assault carbines "with a cool factor of 10" as he pointed out, all tricked out with everything.
They also used a new model Colt in .223, AND the hero gets to use something called a SiG 552, also in .223.
Each major actor got his own handgun. There is one really nice 9mm SiG, 2 Para Ordnances, Berettas, an old Thompson submachine gun, etc.
For the shootouts, the actors used full-load blanks and the stunt guys playing the tactical team used, I think they said, "electric guns" at a range of about 10 feet. Stunt guys had to have armor, goggles, shields, all kinds of protection due to the close ranget but it was pretty interesting.
