He then asked his older son, 12 yrs old, who is a video game fanatic, who plays MOH and COD, etc. what type of guns he recommends? (He probably didn't tell the kid the context either).

So, I'm being overridden due to an art department decision made by a 12 yr old.
Please please PLEASE for the love of God say that the man's wish to create a decent, respectable and believable work of fiction eventually over-rid his nepotistic inclination to listen to his gamer son instead of an expert. I mean, he does realize that even laymen viewers would notice that something was very wrong with a 60s Suit toting a plastic ray-gun looking pistol and the gun from Lethal Weapon, right?

Hey, maybe they're making a Call of Duty: Black Ops movie.

Or maybe both!! But seriously, I get annoyed when people only recognize firearms because of the COD games.

On the other hand, it's better than not recognizing them at all.
