Weapons on Archer

They must have a shooter in the crew somewhere, Lana just cleared a 1911 properly and caught the ejected round IPSC-style

They always use such odd weaponry for there not to be a shooter involved.

No doubt. A Walther WA2000?

Plus the two tinnitus scenes - they got the sound exactly right :-D

They get a lot of things VERY right on that show, it's fun to notice.

Can't quite keep the M16 ejection ports on the correct side from scene to scene though.

I sorta like the show, but knowing what Jon Benjamin looks like puts a damper on things a bit. Someone that ugly doesn't deserve a voice that cool

The guns do get mirrored a lot, and they don't seem to realize that single-action pistols need to be cocked in order to fire (lots of 1911s and Tokarevs that fire with the hammer down), but they do have the best animation and detail I've yet seen in a cartoon (with the notable exception of the classic "Jin Roh, the Wolf Brigade").

I agree with that. At least the artists have a greater attention to detail than many.

Seems like they want to slip a tec-9 into every episode though.
You'd think with thier budget they could afford something a bit classier LOL

I think that may be a very subtle ethnic joke, especially after the last pair she had were chrome plated.

Archer: Yes, now. Let's talk this out!

Lana: Talk WHAT out? How you ruined my chance to work for Odin? Or, oooh, maybe how I just caught my boyfriend balls-deep in some French chick.

Archer: Ex-boyfriend, I bet.

Lana: Ya think?

Archer: Yeah. He's not coming back. That chick was like, the Pele of anal.

Season 1 jokes guys? Get your weight up, it's the end of Season 3.

If that's all you got, you're pushin' rope.

I've been watching it on Netflix, I just finished S2 last night. So I'm ready to get caught up

Yes there is. It is Staff member Shivan.

And... it vibrates.

Of course, I have Quiet's and C4's back but... The show just reeks of that fag you see in the airport wearing a TS, or LAV, etc. t-shirt. Or, maybe I just haven't given it enough chance. Whatever; I love Absolutely Fabulous so... If Archer fucks Patsy then I'll do 100 throw-ups at my next BJJ class.
