Ok I've been waiting for someone to pickup on or ask about my avatar, no bites so here go's.

The rifle and grenade launcher in the picture are real, and it is the Tony Montana's " LITTLE FRIEND"  not one like it, but the very  one used in the movie, M16 with M203 grenade launcher, fully functional, that is me posing with it, with the Scarface poster behind me. The picture taken at a good friends home who owns it, he bought it from Stenbridge arms in Hollywood before they went under. A personal piece of movie firearms history, that I got to play with, but not shoot, unfortunately.

Cool.  8)  I thought it was just a 37mm flare gun like mine.

I did recognize the poster.

These days being confused with Gene Hackman, might be a compliment.
