On the dvd commentary they explained that the guns got stuck in customs so they had to find a substitute, which is the reason why it changes to the more correct 92FS later in the film.

Great Britain SUCKS!!!! I knew one of the guys who was shipping the M60 machine guns to the UK for FULL METAL JACKET and it took MONTHS/YEARS for those Brit Customs idiots to clear shipment of all sorts of weapons for Stanley Kubrick's movie. I mean it's STANLEY KUBRICK! It's not like he is an UNKNOWN DIRECTOR!!!!!!!! If there are any weapons mistakes in Full Metal Jacket, you can point the finger directly at the gun control edicts of the UK's Customs division.

I'm pretty sure Kubrick refused to leave the country for the later part of his life.

Though filming in ENGLAND for the entire film sounds stupid, knowing that they already had a derelict 'city' that looked just like Hue already built is a compelling reason to do so. That and also Kubrik received death threats in the U.S. because of the explicit nature of "A Clockwork Orange" so he kinda said "Fuck off" to the rest of the world and (as was pointed out earlier) he never left the UK until he died. |

Statement, not a question
Just a suggestion: do you think it would look better to pose the trivia parts as a statement instead of a question?
Instead of: Did you know? ...the first appearance of the [[Desert Eagle]] in a Hollywood film was in ''[[Year of the Dragon]]''? It would say: ''[[Year of the Dragon]]'' was the first Hollywood film to feature the [[Desert Eagle]]. The latter would save you from having to post every trivia bit as a question and having it start with "...that". If we decide to go this way, I'd be happy to help change it. |

Latter actually does sound better.
The "Did you know.... blah" part has some ring to it, but I don't think it's necessary. Just too bloated. |

You're right. Bens suggestion has my vote.
