I must admit to being way behind on my reading.  Had the chance to do a little catch up while tied up this weekend and came across terrific articles in "Traditions" Quarter 3:  2007:

The first, I viewed as an introduction, was on the National Firearms Museum; and the second was an interview with Tom Selleck.

Selleck's view of how guns are used in entertainment is amazing.  The way he talks of selecting period correct and condition correct firearms for the "role" shows how seriously he takes his craft.

If you do not receive "Traditions" - Beg, borrow, steal, or better yet, become a sponsor of a Friends of NRA event, and read the good stuff that is happening around us.

The Jackal, 1997 remake of the Day of the Jackal.  Bruce Willis as the bad guy has a really cool remote controlled machine gun.

Dirty Harry movie series, Mod. 29 .44 mag, + .44 cal AutoMag in Sudden Impact.

Unforgiven, The Outlaw Josey Wales, Bloodwork, In the Line of Fire....Aw heck, just about any Eastwood flick.  He likes his guns to be accurate.

The Untouchables.  Sean Connery's character uses a sawed off double gun, not to mention the .45's, .38's and Tommy Guns.

Aliens.  Space Marines carry a made-up gun, a "caseless 10mm pulse rifle,"   The Pulse rifles were made of a shell with an upper casing using a .45 caliber M1 Thompson submachine gun, the lower is a Remington 870 12-gauge pump shotgun with a Franchi SPAS-12 shotgun exterior put on it.

Raiders of the Lost Ark/Temple of Doom.  Harrison Ford used a Webley .455 in both of the first two Indian Jones movies.  He also uses a 1911 in the bar room shootout of Raiders, but you have to look quickly, because he goes back to the Webley for most of it.  Goof? 

Lots of others.........

I know it's been mentioned before, and probably by me, but right now I'm in the middle of Winchester '73 (Encore Westerns), with a fire in the fireplace, some fresh cookies thanks to the household cook, and light snow coming down outside.
