[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Q about Tom Cruise's HK in the movie "Collateral" *SPOILER*

Posted: 9/16/2004 10:51:28 PM EDT

It's obviously a full-size USP, but do you think it is a .45 or a 9mm?

I couldn't tell, but I suspect .45.

Also, he shoots that jazz musician with a silenced pistol - same HK or was it a .22?

Check out these two threads on HK Pro:

hkpro.websolv.com/ubbthreads/showflat.php?Cat=&Number=180595&page=&view=&sb=5&o=&fpart=1&vc=1

I think consensus is poor trigger control, but most people are saying that it's a .45

Thanks for the links.

I just saw it tonight and had to wonder. I saw it with two other guys and a girl. I can't believe we got her to watch it instead of "Wicker Park".

So was the guy or the girl YOUR date?

This thread is about a gun's caliber, not about Sgtar15's homo-erotic projections of himself on other people's lives.

Yeah, but we already solved the caliber issue so I moved on

So this begs the question, if you were in Tom Cruise's profession, except that you only kill criminals, what would be your handgun of choice?

I would go with the Walther P99QA 9mm. I figure if I'm that good, caliber won't matter so much. But I'd like to have the capacity (16 rds) to shoot my way out of a gang of mercs.

I would take a 1911 and enough sense not to walk into a room full of enemies.

YMMV

Interesting scar on his left hand.

Suppressed 40 s&w Hk
Good middle of the road and easily made subsonic.

Rem 700 for the long shots, suppressed of course.

11" M16 with a beta mag for those messy retreats.

Definitely not the HK. Looked like a suppressed Ruger .22, but I'm not sure.

Looks like the number 5

Think it was a Ruger MKII also. They seem to be pretty popular base guns for suppressors.

Damn, and I remember thinking it was something old school like a Woodsman or a High Standard. I'd need to see a pic again.
