Airguns in Movies

[Joncaddy]

How about, 'A Christmas Story' "a daisy Red Ryder 200 shot carbine, with a compass and a thing in the stock to tell the time". I laugh when ever I see that film. With the classic line "Ralphie, you'll shoot your eye out".

I remember seeing a BSA supersport in Kes, used by the boy to shoot songbirds to feed his kestrel.

I may have started something ...and also may have mixed up Me Guns
I have seen BSA Cadets being used in a movie at a Fairground stand - recently and may have gotten Tim Dalton's Bond mixed with anther movie also seen recently where Haenal 49's were used .

The Crosman Bckpacker with added 'au sci-fi' cosmetics was one that the villain arms dealer ( played by Joe Don Baker ) had in his under table storage display case .... )

It's a Meteor.
Webley Hawk Mk1 used to shoot the bull terrier in the bollocks in Trainspotting.

Norman Wisdom was in a film called up in the world when a snotty kid shoots him up the Harris with a BSA Cadet and then asks him did it hurt , un understatement I recon , I know you shouldn't laugh but the scene is funny , it's on YouTube at the start of the film.

Sorry to be a pain, but I'd have guessed that "Kes" was out a long time before The Supersport.


Also, which rifle was it in "Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels"? I've only ever watched it once, so memory's a bit sketchy, and it was years ago. I'm thinking of the scene where the hippy types are defending themselves from the heavies.

I'd always thought that it was a FWB Sport, but I think it was nice Phil McRooti who corrected me previously on this and pointed out what rifle it was??????

I think that movie database showed it to be a modest Chinese B2 Tone.

Acvok was used in IF by malcom mcdowel

Cheers again, young Phil.

Really must watch that again.

I stand corrected!

I stand corrected!

No worries; we're all here to help and share.

Love that film; sad at the end, though.

Anyone know what rifle he DID use?

A quick google search revealed an archived thread on here from July 2009.

Kes - one poster said it was a Meteor; another a Diana 25.

[Garvin]

Let's not forget this old movie.
