Harry,
Sorry but I didn't do this web page I simply entered "Weapons used in Sucker Punch" into Google and this was the first page that came up on the results.
I haven't seen the film myself, not my kind of thing, so I can't comment on the "babes" one way or another.

Hmmm...
Sadly I look for
more in a movie than just how few clothes
the actresses wear, besides I think I may well be old enough to be there

Thanks for the info on docs same but different new gun lol, well.. hard to teach old dogs new tricks I guess..
As for Suckerpunch, yup there all hot chicks.. love them all lol, but thanks for posting the guns they use.. Personally I think, beyond the hot chic thing its a really cool movie, I love movies that go out on the edge and take a chance to do what this movie did..

Alot of 10 gauges are doubles. A friend of mine had single barrel break open 10 gauge, (I think it was a Harrington and Richardson) and pulling the trigger on that was a clavicle testing experience so unless she was mutant-huge it would be an odd weapon for a woman. Ithaca made a semi auto 10 gauge for the police and self-defense market with the evocative name of the "Mag-10 Roadblocker." Funny you should ask, In DL news, in the soon to be released "Hell Road Warriors" the First Nation scout who joins Ryan's convoy is named Donnie Goosekiller and he carries a bolt action 10 gauge. Most of the ten gauges I have run into, and I haven't run into many, are in that configuration. Bolt action, very long barrels, designed to throw a lot of lead very high and fast at migrating geese. |

Here's another weapon that doesn't exist: Krysty's H&K P7A-13 (she uses it in the early books). There's a P7M13, which is otherwise identical (13-round mag); I'm guessing this was an error on LJ's part instead of creative license. I wonder why she'd ditch a weapon with a 13-round capacity for one that holds 5 rounds, though... especially since the P7A was 9 mm.
Oh - does anyone know what pistol she's holding on the cover of Homeward Bound? It's most certainly NOT a H&K P7. |

I've often wondered myself, Kerrick. The P7 is fairly heavy itself with the 8 rnd mag, so 13 rounds would be even more so. The 640 is lighter loaded than the P7 is unloaded.
But still, 5 rounds .38 SPL snub for 13 9x19mm NATO?

I think the reason for the change is given by JB in Dark Carnival -this is the book that most of the main characters change there weapons in (I think -I'm not near my books at the mo' to check). I think the gun Krysty is holding on the cover of Homeward bound is supposed to be a Remington XP-100 Silhouette pistol. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Remington_XP-100 Just WHY she has this is anyone's guess?

Kerrick, The P7A-13 DOES exist http://www.gunfaqs.org/P7FAQ/I/5.htmHK P7 "A13" #VM0036. Arl. VM=Versuchsmodell means
Test Model. This one is
the first prototype P7 model that works. Was shipped here for US Govt
inspection/testing which is how it got away from the factory. Almost
all the
other VMs are still at the factory. HK made 33 P7A13 guns using the
same
serial numbers they had used on the A10 guns, but this is the only VM
they
made.
The link above also has a picture of it.

Wikipedia is the largest collection of lies and mis-truths on the planet. Glad to be of help though. Jim =============================== Billy Fish: He wants to know if we are gods.

Suckerpunch was alright, visually stunning but a bit like soft porn for teenagers. Good twist at the end tho.

.41 caliber? Where the hell is he going to find bullets? Does it fire .44s?

The .41 and .40 magnums are gaining in popularity....being seen as having more power than the .357, but offering more control than the .44. |

Mildred's gun is NOT like that revolver posted among the photos on the first page of this thread.
Her ZKR 551 is a target competition gun like the ones on this page:
