What was the first movie you saw that made you wonder what gun is that guy using and your favorite movie, meaning the star of the movie is a gun you like

Mine was definitely The Matrix. That brought me into guns in general.

I have always liked guns, didn't need a movie to help with that. The first gun I remeber not being able to ID, that I thought was cool was the gun used by Al Pacino in Heat.

The Wildey in Death Wish III. Suprisingly enough, I've never really had a problem identifying guns in movies until then

I really don't remember which movie got me to wonder about certain guns. I've been shooting guns since I was 8 years old, but I don't remember getting interested in handguns and assault weapons until I was about 13. That was when I first started getting interested in the military, and so I guess my interest in military/LE-type firearms just kinda grew out of that. I wondered what types of weapons were being carried by our troops in the pictures and news footage I saw, so I started looking at my Dad's old Gun Digest issues, then looking at gun-related sites on the 'Net, and then from then on, whenever I watched movies, I started to be able to ID the guns I saw.
Of course, back then, I wasn't at all aware of the "secrets" of the movie armorer business like I am today - so I wouldn't have been able to tell an M16A2 apart from an M16 SP1 or M16A1 with A2 hand guards, for instance. Or the MP5A3 from the partially-converted HK94A3. In fact, I remember the first time I saw "Predator", I just assumed that the team was using M16A2s and MP5A3s. |

Its funny here, it wasnt really gun movies that got me started, but history channel and military type shows. And the fact I grew up not being able to shoot, my family ranges from anti gun to not caring either way, but no pro gun/shooters.

I discovered about gun specials on the history channel and Discovery channel when I was in College. Didn't know about it until then. I have the first special of History Channel's M16 and then a more recent one.
