Michael Mann made movies for gun nerds

[Knobgoblin]

Watching Heat again ( no , I'm not Philips or Matesaraneanu).

What's the coolest gun in the movie?

I'm stuck on the FN/FNC. A younger me was stuck on what I believed was a DPMS KittyKat panther. The upper really isn't right tho . It's probably an 11" build just for the movie.

The HK g3 with bipod Val Kilmer uses at the empty drive in is cool . Tom Sizemore's Galil is legit, while being totally un-conceal-able . Wes Studi's milspec mossberg 590 inspired me to buy one of them heavy ba$tards.

I want the SPAS 15 from the first heat movie he made. That thing looks awesome!

Is that similar to the DaeWoo USAS12?

I'm not familiar with that one. The spas 15 is really scarce though. I saw one listing of one sold at auction for $6000. Since I can't get one of those, I just got this one today. 1/20 the price! (Until u start bolting crap onto it ha ha).

Colt 733 Commando (735, C8, 6933.. movies Black Hawk Down & Heat)

In 1985 Colt returned to the original "Commando" idea, with its Model 733, essentially a modernized XM177E2 with many of the features introduced on the M16A...

You're thinking of the Colt 733/735 if talking about the 11.5" barreled, very late A1 fixed carry handle with forward assist and Brunton Bump, which became standard for the Canadian C8 rifles. A2 lower, A2 grip, CAR-15 3 position stock; 6 hole small round handguards, non F-marked FSB, A2 flash hider.
(Not mine but from internet)

And here's my take in 12" 6.5 Grendel with 3d printed blade brace and also with Thordsens Custom buffer tube cover and cheek rest in case ATF says "blade braces=unregistered SBRs"

Completely different guns. The DaeWoo USAS-12 is a Korean automatic shotgun, while the Franchi SPAS-15 is an Italian weapon based on the SPAS-12, and has similar pump-action/semi-automatic firing modes. Unlike SPAS-12, the SPAS-15 is fed by a detachable box magazine.

One of my favorite Michael Mann movies is Thief. The High Standard Model 10 always intrigued me and the the HK91 was one of my dream guns as a kid.

Heat's bank heist scene with a great surround sound system is an amazing experience.
