Stupidest Guns used in Movies

As much as some people laugh at "The Matrix" films for featuring the Eagle, it's actually a perfect weapon for the Agents when you consider that the characters are supposed to be menacing, so they need to have wicked-looking handguns.

Overall, the Eagle works amazingly well in The Matrix. Not only does it look small because the agents are all actually big guys (Hugo Weaving is a solid 6'3") but it also fits the bill as to what they are all about. The agents are not necessarily about finesse when it comes right down to it.

And, interestingly enough, the film only puts the Eagle in the hands of the agents, despite the fact that the heroes have access to any gun ever for their raid. They choose more reliable hardware across the board.

Well behind the scenes explain that they wanted the Agent guns to be the most badass of the time and what better example of power in a handgun than a Desert Eagle

There was some talk about the Desert Eagle on the Fringe page.
In one episode an assassin uses a suppressed Desert Eagle. From an aesthetic standpoint this works, because he's a huge guy, tall and very heavy.

Same reason that small handed actors always get compact guns, like Agent Dunham in Fringe using a Glock 26, or Trinity in the Matrix using Beretta Cougars.

Here's a stupid accessory. Suppressors that either doesn't suppress the weapon or flash

Like Leon's compensated Berettas?

Ive not been on here for a while but heres my point, why did'nt the armourers of movies like TS not chop up a few different guns and try to create something thats both futuristic and can knock the hell out of a 6ft-8ft cyborg? I mean why could'nt they chop 40-50 inches off a barrel of a M82 Barrett, fair enough its a killer to shoot in the real world but in a movie against a T600 it would be cool. Its just a thought, may be we may see something like this if theres a sequel to either TS or Predators?
