Of that I've no doubt. You're right; my post was meant to be quite tongue-in-cheek. I wasn't trying to bash the 92. I've never fired one, but I know their ubiquity has a reason. Still, it would be nice to not have every film featuring firearms constantly use 92s, Glocks, or Sigs. They're all fine weapons (though I dislike the latter), but I'd personally like to see a main character use something like a Steyr M1A or some other firearm that never gets the spotlight.
