I've yet to see any of the 2nd or 3rd-generation models in movies (though Activision and Treyarch modeled one for the Quantum of Solace videogame recently). What's up with that?

The only ones I have seen are the ones that Bapty and Ellis Mercantile had and they were early versions. It's not that they are difficult to convert to blanks and the reliability is based on how they were converted. The main problem is that to some prop masters they looked like Glocks. Also some armories went and purchased SW99 because they looked close enough to the Walther P99.
