TV and movie guns

Here are of my favorite handguns from TV and movies. I'm watching Supernatural right now. Here's Sam Winchester's Taurus 92:

Hey, blondie! There are two kinds of spurs, ones that come in through the door and ones that come in through the window! Hahahaha!!

I read somewhere that Sergio Leone used cartridge conversion models because he could not find a safety-approved way to shoot blanks from a cap-and-ball revolver.

reenactors do it routinely. officers, artillerists and cavalry carry handguns, occasionally as many as 4 at a time. use lots of crisco. wonder wads are usually banned, though i've seen them fly past. time to give 'em the bayonet. (kidding. fixing bayonets on the field is a banning offense.)

Now, Just how can you have a true re-enactment without fixed bayonet?

it's a safety thing, reenacting would be a lot less fun if people actually died. the sacrifices we make for our art do not include real live death. heatstroke, ticks, freezing temps, burns, food poisoning, you name it. death we try to avoid.

+1 Tom Mason's AKM.

I always thought when watching, "Falling Skies," how the producers kept the Leader of the rebellion with that iconic rifle as a conscious design element. More underdog "freedom fighter" throughout history has used the AK and the symbolism was strong for their leader, even as other fighters in the series used and traded one form of AR or another.
