Maybe I'd do like Danila Bagrov in the Brother movies and use really old stuff I can get cheaply. It'd be much better than breaking the bank for brand new custom guns

An action hero doesnt care what guns cost.

True, action heroes care more about looking like a complete badass, they do things like chomp a cigar while hip firing an assault rifle and not taking cover since there too badass to be hit.

Id definitely walk away in slow motion with stuff blowing up around me calmly lighting a cigar with one hand while racking the slide of a shotgun one handed with another then resting on my shoulder, you know, like in real life.

I actually want the Aliens' M41A Pulse Rifle but with a better sight system. The iron sights look like they are for show as a prop. I'd want an EoTech sigh on top. Other than that, nothing else I would like different about this gun. Except that when they say those are 10mm explosive and caseless. I want them to be exactly like that. As in a 10mm rifle round with explosive impacts.

That might be the Schwarzenegger/Stallone-type action hero, but there are more types. Bruce Willis usually plays "everyman" type heroes (McClane being the best example) who aren't so over-the-top.

Also, I do appreciate that movies aren't supposed to be perfectly realistic (otherwise, I wouldn't enjoy them). However, action heroes who seem almost like real-life, normal guys (but just happen to be smarter and braver than meets the eye) allow me to suspend disbelief more easily.

This threads just for fun though, more like if you starred in a remake of Commando than if you were in Die Hard.
