Walther P99

The Bond purists are going to argue until they are blue in the face that the true James Bond gun is a Walther PPK. Although it is true that Bond carried a PPK for 33 years, the trusty sidearm was finally upgraded in Tomorrow Never Dies to the Walther P99. Director Martin Campbell displays the grittier, inexperienced side of the MI6 agent in Casino Royale from the very beginning of Bond's career. Campbell's break in 40 years of continuity of Agent 007 breathed life into this failing franchise and recreating the timeline of the world's most famous secret agent. The only noticeable connection to the previous movies is the Walther P99 carried throughout the movie on his side. When you can't trust anyone, you should have a reliable firearm, the Walther P99.


Taurus PT-99

How do you make Shakespeare enjoyable? Replace the swords with guns. Director Baz Luhrmann modernized this romantic tragedy by replacing the swords of the Montagues and Capulets with some badass firepower. Many of the characters wield the Taurus PT99 tricked out to represent each of the families. Luhrmann kept intact Shakespeare's writings by altering the names of the weapons as Sword 9mm Series S and Rapier 9mm Series R. Now if I could only understand what the hell they are talking about...


Colt Detective Special

This is the most intense, edge of your seat scene put on film. (Phoebe Cates pool scene in Fast Times at Ridgemont High is a close second but I'm saving that for a totally different list). Nick (Christopher Walken) and Mike (Robert De Niro) play Russian roulette with a Colt Detective Special - .38spl in a back room of a night club.


Auto Ordnance 1911

Vincent Vega (John Travolta) carries the chromed Auto Ordnance 1911 with pearl grips throughout the entire movie, brandishing this weapon in the famous diner scene and in the apartment where they retrieve the mysterious briefcase with the MacGuffin (Google it). Vega's most famous scene with the 1911 is the accidental shooting of Marvin (Phil LaMarr) inside of Jules' (Samuel L. Jackson) car. Just a friendly reminder to use caution when carrying a loaded weapon in a moving vehicle whilst kidnapping unsuspecting victims.


Red Ryder BB Gun

Ok, it's not technically a gun but you can "shoot your eye out" with this thing! Probably one of the best known "rifles" across any generation, the Official Red Ryder Carbine-Action Two-Hundred-Shot Range Model Air Rifle or more commonly known as the Red Ryder BB Gun can be identified by anybody that has seen one of the dozen of daily airings around thanksgiving. Sales around Christmas time still skyrocket for this air rifle! The "leg lamp" is a different story.


Springfield 1911

Overheard in an Executive's office in Hollywood

Executive: Tell me a little bit about this script.
Writer: I would love to remove Nick Cage's face and put it on Johnny Travolta
Executive: Awesome, let's do it....Wait. What are you going to do with Travolta's face?
Writer: Obviously replace Nick's face with John's.
Executive: Fantastic. I see no holes in this movie, whatsoever. How does $80 million sound for production costs?
Writer: Perfect
Executive: I only have one request. Nick Cage's character wields a golden gun, nay, TWO golden guns.
Writer: Done!

A quick way to make a run of the mill Springfield 1911 even more badass is to gold plate it, double it up, throw in Director John Woo with his distinct cinematograph style and you have an unstoppable pair of firearms.


Smith & Wesson Escort .22LR

So you're standing in front of a mirror practicing your acting skills regurgitating De Niro's infamous monologue in Taxi Driver thinking how unbelievably fierce you look. Then your mom yells at you from the basement steps, "Get a job and move out! For Christ's sake your 35!".
You are not De Niro and never will be. Move on.
Travis Bickle (Bobby D) on the other hand is not one to mess with. Bickle rigs up drawer slides on his forearm to seamlessly unsheathe his S&W Escort from his sleeve, shaves a Mohawk into his head and then shoots pimps in the stomach. What did you do today? You reached level 38 with your Blood Elf in World of Warcraft?
Enjoy being a n00b in the "gettin' laid" department.


Remington 11-87

Semi-Auto Shotgun + Suppressor = Awesomeness

DESERT EAGLE .50 CAL

The Desert Eagle has made many of appearances on the big screen, Boondock Saints, The Matrix, and Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle just to name a few. But nobody can carry this gun like Bullet Tooth Tony (Vinny Jones). Jones is scary enough by himself but give him a Desert Eagle .50 cal and you'll crap your pants just by making eye contact.


Smith & Wesson Model 29

Arguably the most famous scene in American cinema, Inspector "Dirty" Harry Callahan (Clint Eastwood, obviously) uses his unorthodox methods to test the "luck" of a few untouchable criminals. The character of Dirty Harry and his "most powerful handgun in the world," single handedly tripled the demand of the .44 Magnum, raising it to mythical proportions.


BERETTA M93R ("AUTO 9")

I know what you are thinking. How the hell did Robocop make this list and is this gun even real? To you I say this, Robocop is one of the greatest movies of all time and should have won at minimum 4 Oscars. And yes, the gun is real, sort of. It is a bastard child of a Beretta M93R with a longer barrel, a gigantic compensator/flash suppressor, and a taller rear sight. Capable of shooting three round bursts Robocop doesn't just shoot criminals, he destroys them. Do yourself a favor and get this film on DVD.

I would have to say that he be forgettin some of the best movie weapons ever, there be the two pair of silenced beretta 92's me and me brother used in Boondock Saints. Those were the days.. riddin the world of mafiosos and other scum. I was offended to see we weren't on the list but when i see robocop and that damned leonardo fella's romeo and juliet travesty i realized this was a joke list of flashy guns and not about the true best...Aequitas Veritas..

What about Lethal Weapon? Mel and his model 92? Any Taurus is just a copy of a model from another company.

Crowded streets are cleared away One by One Hollow heroes separate As they run You're so cold Keep your hand in mine Wise men wonder while Strong men die [Chorus] Show me how it ends it's alright Show me how defenseless you really are satisfied and empty inside Well, that's alright, let's give this another try If you find your family, don't you cry In this land of make-believe, dead and dry You're so cold, but you feel alive Lay your hand on me one last time [Chorus x2] It's alright [x9]

Out of the corner of my eye, I caught a glimpse of what looked like a woman peering in my window. I thought nothing of it, and did not advert my gaze from Robocops glistening body. Then out of nowhere my doorbell rang. I thought it was going to be the neighbor kid who used to punch me and make me eat dog turds. I opened the door and there stood the most beautiful woman I have ever seen. All she said to me is "Any man who enjoys such a fine cinematic experience, is surely capable of pleasing me." She threw me down. When we were finished we watched Robocop until the sun came up. Robocop saved my life. So...ROBOCOP IS AMAZING!!!

Let me tell you how AWESOME Robocop is... Back when I was 16 attending Cornwallace High School I was an ungainly lad. I had acne really bad, and was slightly pigeon toed. I tried desperately to find a woman, or something resembling a woman. I had no charm, no charisma, no game. It was a Thursday, and I had just asked out the Chess Club president and was shot down horribly. I ran home to the only thing that could possibly comfort me, Robocop on VHS. I sat down and popped it in, drowning my sorry in the sheen of Robocop's metallic backside.
