The Coolest Movie Guns

 (10 Photos)

Firearms have been a part of the movies since “The Great Train Robbery” flashed onto the Silver Screen in 1903. In many movies the gun is as important as the character, and often is what makes a scene iconic. AmericanRifleman.org has put together a list of 10 favorite movie guns and why they are so remembered.

  • M134 Minigun from “Predator”
  • Smith & Wesson Model 29 from “Dirty Harry”
  • Suppressed Remington 11-87 from “No Country for Old Men”
  • John Wayne’s Winchester Model 1892 from “True Grit”
  • Colt AR-15 with M203 Grenade Launcher from “Scarface”
  • Smith & Wesson Mk II Hand-Ejector from “Raiders of the Lost Ark”
  • M60 Machinegun from “First Blood”
  • FN FNC-80 from “Heat”
  • Walther PPK from the James Bond Movies

FN FNC-80 from “Heat”

The director used a wide variety of firearms to create an action-packed firefight during the bank heist in “Heat.” In this scene that imitates life, bullets are flying as both good and bad guys battle it out, and we watch Lt. Vincent Hanna, played by Al Pacino, look all-out tough as he chases the crew he grudgingly respects, though he’s going to take them down, one way or another.

    What, not one mention of Ronin? Dinero used a slew of awesome guns, just pick one. How about the 8 guage from Appaloosa? 1911s from Last man standing? Schofields from 3:10 to Yuma? Thompson sub from (pick your favorite gangster film)? PS Props for the Steve Goldsmith reference.
