Replace the Glock with the High Power and the list would be, in my opinion, absolutely perfect

M2 is manly, but even Terminator never carried one. Way too big and heavy, even if it does make Dirty Hary's .44 look like a popgun.

I think the Terminator couldn't carry an M2 because the actor couldn't carry an M2. I'm pretty sure in real life, the Terminator in its infinite strength can shoulder fire an M2 with no problem.

Or what about the minigun?

Watch the film "Nemisis"* Staring Oliver Grunner for a man packed M2.


*Remind me to get screencaps for that film as it has some nice gun's and some great lines.

Rambo was originally going to fire that Browning M2 Aircraft from the hip in the fourth movie, but they found it was too slow to manuever and holding it was tiring for Sly so they slapped it on a truck.

And you can't really "shoulder fire" an M2, it has no stock, just two spade grips.

Personally I think they could depict a Terminator firing an M2 easily if they just used some wires (deleted in post-production of course) to make it look like they are flawlessly wielding them.

It would be rediculous though
