It is always better to have and not need than need and not have , though to be honest , I'm not quite sure in what situation that I would require a WW2 sea mine .
One of the best movies ever made, and worthy of Academy Awards in every category. I love how they mock the gun violence in our American action movies. Well played you crazy Brits!
The magazine matches (90 degree left side mount, no drum at the end as on a MP 18 / concerning the stock: there where several versions made (beside the metal variants ( MK.I - MK. III) even some models with wooden stocks and also variants with a pistol grip and stock -> MK.V )and some of the later variants have this special kind of muzzle (MK.III & MK.V)
@@lennartsuenbach6626No chance at being a Sten. 4:10 gives an excellent side view. The MP 18 may have had the angled magazine, and frequently barrel magazines (though not always), the MP 28 (which I mentioned) did not. No model of Sten Gun (that I'm aware of) has a full barrel shroud much less a full iron-sights at the end of said shroud. In fact, the whole rear action is faaaaar too built up to be a Sten either, plus (in the grocery store fight, where the female cop wields it) you can clearly see a ball-tipped charging handle, another feature absent on the Sten (it had a cylindrical shaped one). I will admit I misidentified it, as it's actually a MP 34, an Austrian copy still widely use by Facists during the war. I may not be an expert, but I know that barrel shroud is German. Every example of a Sten with a full-length perforated barrel shroud I can find are modern "Universal" barrel shrouds. The Mk.III and Mk.V do have full length shrouds, but not perforated in that manner. I can understand your confusion, as the shaky camera makes it difficult to see clearly, and that the Sten was a copy of the MPs. There is no pistol grip, clearly just a stock grip. I'm sorry, but you're just mistaken here. I've checked multiple websites, and all identify the gun as German. Here is a good example: www.imfdb.org/wiki/Hot_Fuzz#Steyr-Solothurn_S1-100.2FMP34_submachine_gun
This movie almost killed me. I am not joking. I was hooked up to an IV for a college science project, watching this movie, my blood's oxygen level dropped to dangerous levels because I was laughing so hard I couldn't breath.
@@babapambazuka2845 I don't know if it's mission accomplished yet, I just know that I started watching it in a college dorm room made for one person. We ended up 11 watching it and it's such a good memory !
"Hot Fuzz"! Truly one of my favorite comedy movies. I would like to be able to purchase (at a reasonable price, 15 cents or so) a DVD set with all three movies, of the "Three Flavours Cornetto" trilogy. I have only seen "Hot Fuzz", so far. Thank you for your efforts. May you and yours stay well and prosper.
'90s Do0m music would have also worked. The unused "Dis" theme (based on Slayer's 'Rain in Blood') would be perfect. The "Base" theme from Contra (the NES one, of course) would also fit perfectly.
My favorite joke in this entire street gunfight sequence is that you can literally count on one hand the number of shots that actually hit a target. It's 5, out of God only knows how many rounds are fired.
None of the townsfolk have ever practiced with their guns! The backstory is the H.O.A. (equivalent) just stole a shipment of impounded guns from the 80s and picked the pieces they liked. The rest were left in Filch's barn. Meanwhile Angel and Danny are trying not to kill people.
@@TheCoffeeBird Well those aren't in the end sequence and, to come back to OPs comment, none of the murders were gun related. The only murder that involved a direct confrontation (as in an action where the murderer(s) physically had to interact with the victim) was the gardener lady...
Despite growing up around guns in the Southern United States, the lever action shotgun always threw me for a loop. I knew about them, vaguely, but you don't really see them much in the USA. Plenty of lever action rifles, but it seems we prefer pump action or semi‐auto for our shotguns.
