The movie was pretty low budget and was crewed by people outside the realm of normal mainstream movie making, so they may not have had a real gun wrangler on set and just more of a prop designer. The sets I've worked on with actual gun wranglers usually were running real guns that were modified to fire blanks and/or real guns that were inactive, and the rubber props and what not that weren't used in actual firing or "hero shots" were pretty close too... It all just depends who you get in to handle it, because pretty much no one else in filmmaking seems to know - in fact when I revealed on one set that I actually owned guns it was as if I'd announced to the crew I was an alien.

you'd think a movie prop, and all the effort that goes into making it, would attempt some semblance of accuracy.. so i figured maybe it was some foreign variation or something. but now that i've stared at it and put all the "wrongs" together, i think it must simply be the abominable spawn of some idiot's imagination.
maybe even CG? could they have been so low-budget that they had to just CG in an attempt at an M16?
