What was the rifle that Al Pacino was using in the bank shoot out?
|
|
Surely you jest, as that is the most commonly asked question on this site. If you are serious, it is an FNC.
Be prepared for serious flaming. |
|
...welcome |
|

Don't worry about it mrtw72. I didn't know it either until I came here!
|
|
NO! Your gun will explode. One is super loaded for the military and one is not. CRC |
|
|
Yeah, .223mm is way smaller than 5.56mm. 5.56 will blow the rifle sky high. |

|
I wonder why Max Popenker didn't include the Pacino/Heat connection in his history of the FNC. Apparently, it's the rifle's sole claim to fame. |

What kind of station wagon did DeNiro drive in the drive-in theater scene??
|
|
Thank you for the info. Next time I'll just keep my mouth shut.
|
|
It was a Volvo wagon, a 242 I think. |
|
|
Hell with the station wagon, I want to know what kind of boots DeNiro was wearing! |
|
|
|
I was just in my fun shop today as a matter of fact and they have 4ea. 3shot burst/full auto FNC's 7900.00 each
I have been lusting over them ever since he got them a while back! They are no M16 but I can almost afford one. |
|
Oh man are you in for it. I asked this question once before I realized how often it was asked. Prepare for an ass ripin'.
Oh yeah, IBTL and all that stuff. |

a Buick, he also drove a Caddilac SeVille, and a Camaro Z28 Kilmer drove a Corvette. Sizemore drove a DeVille. Trejo drove an El Camino, a Chevy Silverado, a Caprice wagon, a Chevy van, and a Ford F350 crew cab dually. Pacino drove a Ford Crown Victoria. The Baja wrecker was a Peterbuilt. The Goodhew ambulance was a Chevy Van. The getaway car was, of course, an Lincoln Town Car. |

The real question is............
What kind of gun did Pacino use in Scarface? |
|
|
Damnit! |
|||
|
yes
..... Movie: HEAT (1995) pacino: FN FNC kilmer: HK-91 (cause kilmer never went full auto on it (& and we know he would have) and the selector switch has only 2 settingsin the pic) |
|
The pics have inspired me! I think I'll watch Heat for the "who knows how many"'th time!
Kilmer was too smooth with those mag dumps. Absolutely, one of my all time favorite movies. I guess I'll have to rent "Scar Face", I've never seen that one... Johnny C! |
|
I think DeNiro also drove a BWM 850i Coupe at one point. |

|
It's okay guy, they're just havin' fun. Hit the "search" button before posting questions. Chances are it's been asked and answered. BTW: IBTL |
|
|
Okay, what was the name of the ambulance company, from the armored car scene? |
||
|
Ambulance's city/county was Goodhew and was number 92. Armored car was number 605. The armored car's tag number was also 3K918C4. |

Speaking of guns in movies, I caught Escape From LA on tv the other night (ugh), and I noticed that the futuristic police force only had 10-rd mags in their super evil assault rifles. I thought that was hilarious.

Okay, everyone (typing as I giggle) I think everybody has been hard enough on the poor guy. mrtw72, They ARE just playing, that question, and a few others, are an ongoing theme around here. I havent been here all that long, but have seen it come up a lot. You guys should be ashamed of yourselves, its his second post! I am glad I managed to not ask that question before, although I did not know what kind of rifle Pacino had either until not long ago. I just never ask because I wasnt all that interested. I am glad I never did ask a noobish question around here. Yeah, right!
