That's not what they are fighting about, re-watch the scene. ;) /hijack
That does look like a pretty crappy prop but how long was that shot in the film. If its like a1/2 second shot I doubt they put a lot of effort into it.

Looks like a large piece of black licorice made into an AR type form. I have seen small ones before, black AR, red AK. But a large one now that would be fun for the whole family to eat!
Another rubber gun vote. I did some work on a film and it is very apparent that they have no knowledge about weapons, and don't care all that much as long as its close (or kind of close).
The foam/rubber gun I've seen from The Expendables is very accurate. If you weren't looking for a fake you wouldn't notice at 10 feet unless you could see into the muzzle.
I'm trying to remember what I saw recently where they kept showing the muzzle end of a rubber gun - which totally gave it away... may have been a short, but I would have sworn I saw it on my TV not my computer... Anyway, like Todd said, some of them are really stinkin' good unless you get the wrong angle... others aren't. Outside of myself I don't think there are hardly any filmmakers that are actually into guns...
I vote for rubber gun.
Not true, the series stated they started training at Curahee in 1942 and left for England in 1943.Quote:
they are on the boat headed to England and its like 1941
Another rubber gun spot...watch the beginning of "Iron Man"; when Tony Stark is unmasked and the terrorists are making a web transmission, one of the terrorists is holding an M4 with an undermounted shotgun to Tony's head. If you look close, the flash suppressor slots are filled, making it a prop gun, and this is a 100 million dollar movie!
And then you've got guys like John Milius, who's a gun dude, go to the trouble of taking Steyr Maadi AKM's and making them look like AKS-74's for the Spetznaz in Red Dawn.
