Has anyone seen the Netflix movie 'Anon'? There's a scene in the movie that shows a stainless revolver--supposedly a "Brown Ryazan 914"...I googled it...no luck. I don't suppose it's an Ed Brown gun. Does anyone know what revolver is used in the movie? It's a nice looking wheelgun.

Thanks in advance.

I stopped paying attention to the weapons of the heroes of screen and tabloid after Robert Ludlum armed Jason Bourne with a devastating 7 mm semiautomatic pistol.

Sadly, I still wasted a lot of time reading his books. Should have waited for the movies. They're FAR more realistic...
 
If you don't like Robert ludlum then stay away from James Patterson with his Glock Revolvers and Dean Koontz with his automatic self ejecting revolvers and AKs with 400 round magazines.
 
Are those authors really that bad?

Yes, and there are others.

James Patterson seems to take pride in being a complete idiot when it comes to guns. It's hard to imagine that he could make some of the boneheaded gun mistakes I've seen in his books unless he were actually trying to prove that he's not knowledgeable about guns.
 
How about this from WWIII: South China Sea by Ian Slater:

[U.S. Army General] Freeman released the safety on his .45, lay flat, and held the revolver in two hands.

Also during one engagement he has the M60 machines guns being so over taxed that rounds are 'cooking off'. If I'm not mistaken the M60 fires from an open bolt so this would be hard to do...although on this point I could be mistaken.

"Ian Slater, a veteran of the Australian Joint Intelligence Bureau, is the author of the World War III novels." He is the author of 20 some action adventure thrillers.

That is correct, the M60 is an open-bolt. Only way a cook off happens is if a cartridge is stuck in the chamber. Which I've seen on a 240. The gun team leader was trying to pry the round out with his knife when it cooked off doing the combined arms exercise at 29 palms. He had to get a corpsman to pick brass out of his hand when they finished, but in testament to their level of hard corps they changed the barrel and got the gun back in the fight. The gunner did what he was supposed to do... hold the bolt open and keep his head down. Gunner was fine.

I digress. Yes I get frustrated with movie guns. I don't even pay attention to it anymore. I just enjoy (or don't) the movie for the plot, and don't nitpick the details. If you really want to lose your mind, watch military movies based on a historical event with some good knowledge of how things actually worked/what took place.

Yeah! Like Civil War movies and they always show the South losing. Idiots!:mad:
 
The movie Defiance about the Jews fighting along side the Russians in the Belarus woods against the Germans is another great lie. They didn't fight. They cooked for the Russians who did the fighting. The families were not happy how they movie portrayed the men having "Forest Wives". It was all made up. They
take just a little sliver of history and write a whole fairy tale around it.
 
Even Ian Fleming surprisingly started off a little rough on guns. Bond's first gun was a Berretta 418 in .25ACP ("ladies gun") which caused him to be seriously injured when it failed to drop a bad guy in an early novel. M forced him to pick a new model. Then came the Walther and the rest is history.

Allegedly he wrote the change because so many fans had written him letters and called him on it.
 
It is a S&W 686. I called BS on it in the scene that shows its supposed name because I recognized it the very first time they showed it and that led to a google search which of course turned up nothing on RYAZN. This forum was my second shot. And of course we all know you don't need a 357 mag if you're shooting people in the head at close range. the listed ballistic stats were correct though.
 
Sig 226s are all the rage in Hollywood TV shows and movies these days. For a while it was glocks. In Spectre, James Bond movie, he even calls it out when giving it to his GF on the train. Sadly, Daniel Craig publicly stated he does not like guns, inferring that he is anti-2A.

I purchased a book this summer, an historical book, factual (well?) on the U.S Rangers at Dieppe. The author mixed up the M1 Garand with the M1 carbine, not just in passing either, but several paragraphs concerning the Rangers use of the M1. And this was supposed to be a book documenting the landing. \

Made me wonder what else was backwards as well.
