Superheros use Glocks?

[tacticalcity]

Scarlett Johansen had guns in that movie?

Ya know, I keep watching the movie and people tell me there are all these other characters in it, but I don't remember a single one them except her's!

Actually, I thought the movie was pretty boring. I liked the movies leading upto it. But these one just didn't work for me. Was very bored.

Glocks were the only pistols they didn't crush with their hands; 1911s crumbled in their grips

...and so it begins

Two things Hulk cannot destroy/pickup:

1. Thor's Hammer
2. Glock

Man, I hated this movie. Had to sit through it with the kids and wife on Mother's Day. Two hours and twenty two minutes of moving Photoshop. I agree, insecure, mostly insane narcissists (actors) running around with guns makes me nervous, I worked on the set of Die Hard IV.

Unless you see the gun firing in a scene, they are definitely rubber replicas. And even when you do see it firing in a scene, every single shot with the gun firing, the muzzle blast and flame is enhanced digitally. Guns in movies are more like the suggestion of what a real gun is like with a lot of exaggeration. Same with the sound, movie guns sound like no real gun ever has. Real guns, when recorded, mostly sound really boring like, "thud, thud".

Guns are a competitive business and, like it or not, Hollywood helps shape people's preferences.

Well said.

Hey all kinda random but I just saw the new "Avengers" movie and two of the superheros use two polymer powerhouses lol Sam jackson aka Nick fury uses a smith n wesson m&p series and Black widow aka Scarlett johansen uses a Glock lol. Sorry I cant post pics via my crappy phone hopefully someone can for me. Thought u glock guys might like this knowing your gun is "superhero" worthy. (In hollywood that is anyway)

Really? Scarlet Johansen in skin tight black suit and you notice the Glocks. Sorry, but this thread is just epic fail.

actually, neither samuel jackson or scarlett johansen play superheros, so no, superheros dont use glocks.

[Capybara]

I didn't think Scarlet looked so good in this film. That black suit was badly fitted or her look has gone to heck. Bad hairstyle for her too, very unflattering to her face and her "Russian" accent was laughable.

Note to self...."need to get a subcompact Glock to fight aliens"

German magazine article about US Navy SEALs training to fight space aliens. Hence the reason, the SEAL in the pic has a Glock subcompact.

Would it be wrong for me to say that she's really good with her...plastic...fantastic?

[elfstone]

Its funny, because I shot with 2 petite women today and they enjoyed and shot my 17 so well, that they showed interest in picking one up of their own in the near future.

SO MANY OPTIONS ON THIS SENTENCE.
One can just cut out some words and make it more interesting.

Well, Black Widow is actually genetically altered as part of a Soviet experiment to create super spies. Nick Fury takes a serum that halts his aging, he's over a century old. Sorry, the comic geek coming out.

I'm currently reading, Glock: The rise of America's Gun. (http://www.amazon.com/Glock-The-Rise.../dp/0307719936)

It's a great read for any gun fan and this coming from a SIG guy.

It goes through product placement in the movies,and goes into detail the Tommy Lee Jones, US Marshall line and the Die Hard 2 line as well.

I agree about the Glock book. I'm not a Glock fan boy, but its an amazing story. The audio book is great too.

The dark knight! Joker uses a glock 17 full auto

I noticed the that they were subcompacts in the commercials, every time I see her in it, I think, wow she must be so petite that she must have looked rediculous with the compact or full size.

Whole reason they gave Carie Anne Moss as Trinity a pair of Beretta Cheetahs.
