I thought we didnt find out about all of that until like 1944 but...its a movie.

    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.

    Licorice

    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.

    they are on the boat headed to England and its like 1941
    Not true, the series stated they started training at Curahee in 1942 and left for England in 1943.

    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.
