We have another IMFDB exclusive! (the gold AK from "Lord of War")
I've got some more exclusive information for us on a movie gun several of you will recognize.
A couple weeks ago, user "Martin Edge" uploaded this picture to IMFDB, which I found while browsing through our "Unused images" section: I e-mailed him to ask for more information about this gun, which I recognized immediately as the gold AK used by Andre Baptiste, Jr. in "Lord of War". Here is his response: Quote:
Neat, huh? And this is ours. All ours. Last edited by MT2008; 02-17-2009 at 07:15 PM. |

That's awesome. The pics aren't MPM quality but it is always great to get the exact info you need. Seem like a lot of work went into the gun even though it had a relatively small screen time.
I sent an Email to the holster maker for 3:10 to Yuma so I hope I can get some neat info from him. If anyone knows how I can contact Thell Reed, it would be much appreciated. |

Not to mention - remember "The Matrix" with those custom auto shotguns (the ones that the armorer actually invented just for the movie) which appeared on screen for only a few seconds? I would say the "Lord of War" gold AK got a starring role in comparison. Crazy, huh? |

I have to admit I didn't look at all for a site because why go through the trouble when someone else can help you? I'm sending him an E-mail so I can see if he responds. His insight would make the page great. He's the type of guy I'd like to meet in person (or work with) because I love all the quick draw shooting and spinning. I'm self trained on such but I'm actually pretty good. I've impressed more than a few people with a spinning display and some quick drawing. But anyway, I think the dude is awesome.
Poor John Bowring, those guns looked complex. |

I got a response from the guy who runs the site, he said he'll show Thell. Hope he keeps his word.
