I recall after those Bren 10s were made available-you couldn't get magazines. DJ lost one filming an episode of MV-apparently a bunch of Bren owners showed up on the set, looking for it

Yeah, I do recall the issues with the mags.......I am a 10mm fan, and to be honest, the Bren 10 is not one I would add to my collection of 10mm's

I have a GLOCK 20 in 10MM because I won a glock and I had all the 9s and 45s I wanted. Its a great gun for Bear country (which is not all that relevant to me). I bought some dies and reload 10MM now-when you back it down about 20% its a great cartridge

I prefer my XDM....a bit larger, but very controllable and accurate.

Rambo - M60

Internet says dragoons. I don't really care though, other than I would like to know if what's true.
 
Tom Selleck, Shiloh Sharps 1874 Long Range, Quigley Down Under.
 
Okay... you're going to beat me to the draw on the Aussie movie, then I'll take a Kiwi one... this time I know I'm not going to get beaten to the punch. ;)

This one is a little more obscure, but I'm including it solely because the gun and the movie are so freaking awesome:

Bruno Lawrence, Utu, Williamson's Quad-Barreled Shotgun (custom build):

Has anyone mentioned Dirty Harry yet?


"I know what you're thinking. 'Did he fire six shots or only five'? Well to tell you the truth, in all this excitement, i kind of lost track myself. But being that this is a .44 Magnum, the most powerful handgun in the world, and would blow your head clean off, you've got to ask yourself one question: 'Do I feel lucky?' Well do ya, punk?"

It's not the most powerful handgun in the world.

It'll make you wish you hadn't fired it though.

Well if it's on the internet it must be true. When it comes to Hollywood what the character may claim to be shooting and what the prop department actually has can be two diffrent things. If I had to venture a guess as to the confusion that would be my guess. Or it could just be people posting their thoughts and opinions as facts. Either way it looked cool on film

Opening post/ its a toss up between Harry Callahan and his Model 29 and 007 and his Walther PPK
 
This one may be a stretch, but I'm tossing it in the ring anyway...

Harrison Ford; Mauser C96 "Broomhandle" (heavily modified); Star Wars saga films.

I'm confused as to why I was quoted in this post of yours...

For me Bond wins out. There are more films over a longer time using the PPK and when I think of Eastwood I think westerns more than I do Dirty Harry.

the funniest part-IIRC-was one of the earliest films where Bond has to trade in his Beretta in 25 ACP for the Walther PPK (32 ACP) and the armorer claims it "hits like a ton of bricks"
 
Mel Gibson and his Beretta 92
 
Scott Wilson and the infinite ammo shotgun from TWD

And what the prop dept provides can be two things in one movie.

The Good, the Bad and the Ugly kept swapping ball and cap Colts with Cartridge conversion Colts depending on the scene and if shooting was taking place.

In other movies the hero gets a "real" gun while others get wood or rubber copies.

Side note-David McCallum's father was a well known violinist and guitar superstar Jimmy Page (Yardbirds, Led Zeppelin, The Firm) credits the man with teaching him how to use a violin bow on his electric guitars.
