Why do movie makers do not even bother with correct props?

Fed168 beat me to the punch. Saw "The Cross
of Iron" on videotape not long ago and was surprised at the accuracy of the small arms.
The Soviet soldiers had Nagants, Tokarevs,
PPSH's etc. and the German's a variety of
Mausers, P-38's, Lugers, Schmeissers, etc.
Everything was right on. The movie was filmed
in the former Yugoslavia so I imagine there
was an abundance of Russian/German small arms
available locally. Even so, the book's better
than the movie.
 
I say, Bruce, I went to the link to purchase THE ODD ANGRY SHOT but they state they do not offer it at this time. Buggers.

"That's one of the best wanking machines, I've seen yet."

(as close as I can remember from the movie.)
