Anyone notice...?

Anyone else notice that the barrel of Roger's rifle is bent in the scene right before he's bitten?

[The Dead Walk!]

I've never noticed this. I'll definitely keep my eyes glued to his rifle next time I watch Dawn though.

[Flyboy]

I've never noticed it either. I've been itching to watch Dawn as of late so I may do so soon & look for this. I really want to pop in the 20th anniversary DVD & watch it in "a little above VHS quality." ;D

I read somewhere once that some of the guns were provided by a company named "Rubber Guns", or something like that. It wouldn't surprise me to learn that many of the principle's firearms were indeed "rubber duckies".

I'm gonna' watch it again, too, as it was pointed out to me by my nephew while we were watching it yesterday. I'd like to take the time to pause it and/or slow-advance to see it more closely.

[Flesh Eater]

Haha... Rubber Duckies. I haven't heard that in ages. I remember playing with the "rubber duckies" when my father taught ROTC at The University of Iowa. Those were the days. From what I remember, they were less rubber and more hard plastic.

[223fmj]

Yep!

I broke three 'rubber duckies' on the bayonet course in basic training, and I'm here to tell you that the name ain't all that fitting. Funnily, though, the barrels and several other parts were steel on the majority of the models I handled. The only fully-"rubber" guns I handled belonged to our FMIB, and they were all commie guns.

[Flesh Eater]

Commie guns, Hahha, I'm guessing you mean Kalashnikova.

I think the ones I played with were a clear-ish yellow. They were pretty heavy, too.

[223fmj]

We had AKs (AK-47s and AKMs) an RPK (with a broken bipod), PPSh-41s, an NSV (that hung from the ceiling of our shop), and an SVD that had a tendency to go "crooked" (like the subject of this thread). All commie crap. (I'm not a big fan of the stuff).

All of them were pretty heavy, too, and solid (for the most part). The M-16s (A1s) that the Army used for bayonet training were real solid, for obvious reasons.

[223fmj]

Okay, my nephew is smoking crack. I watched it again, and it is most definitely "real".

[Flyboy]

I'm watching through Dawn of the Dead right now but I didn't notice it because I didn't know exactly where to look. That & I was just far much into the movie to look for it. Haha.
