I just installed a Russian magwell on my 2008 S12. Unlike Cobra's experience (the designs may be different now) I didn't have to mod my ejector block. Just needed to cut the receiver sheet steel around it, to make room for the "arms" of the magwell. So, my experience was that it was LESS invasive than Cobra's pictures would suggest. Took me about an hour and twenty minutes to do, and I'm not a machinist. So, for those of you that want to go for it, it's not by any means impossible to do with fairly normal tools and some patience. If this counts as a necropost, I'm sorry. S.

This is what I did too. Got a nice drill press, 20T-A frame, Micromark lathe, blast cabinet and compressor, cross slide table, vises, all the dies and taps, bits, etc. I love it! Total therapy for me. If you can spare the coin, there's a lot of pleasure to be had with those toys and some gun parts.

There are a LOT of hollywood hypocrites when it comes to guns. Believe me. I used to hang out at a gun store here constantly before my buddy's suicide. They're worse than most gun stores, because the ignorant in this town have TONS of cash, and that as a business you can't call them out for who / what they are.

Too funny! That weapon was one of the guns that the guy I work with cut. I was only able to be on Expendables for the first few cuts (maybe four or five weeks iirc) because I began a different show that had to finish up on basically the same timeframe. I did a bunch of the damage effects for that one in the last reel or so, but the gun sound for that was done my my very talented colleague. Everybody loved it! I put all this time into those guns and everybody loves that AA12, heh heh. Oh well, reminds me of how I got called out on here for cutting a machine gun type composite effect for t

deleted will get myself into trouble if I stray too far. Please understand. I might retract and delete my post content depending on political implications that occur to me.

Hey there, First off, thanks for the question. Glad that people like yourself are thinking about sound as a separate entity from what they see. Most people have no idea how much work goes into the sound effects of a movie. They often just think the sound effects occur and are captured as part of the filming process, and that's just sadly not the case. As for your question. Mainly it's sound effect people, and not foley that would handle something like a firearm. Foley is a separate, but related discipline to sound effects and sound design. Foley is where people record themselves

He can be a big meanie when he wants.

Hey Everybody, I'm just ramping down from putting months into the sound effects design of this movie. It's good. Brutal, and unapologetic. I think some folks here might like it. CTB Official Site

Hope this doesn't count as a necropost.... Finally converted one of my own. Sorry again for not getting the sound right, the real thing is pretty different from what I imagined. Gonna hit the desert with a recorder and get it right if it ever comes up again. Really liking this forum.

That failure looks nearly identical to this one over on the AKforum.

Whoops, doubletap.

Oh yeah! I'm just new to the Saiga shotguns. I got back into guns as a hobby to take my mind off of work stuff back in 2004 or so. I grew up with guns, but the bug bit hard again several years ago. I'm building my own AK's from kits now, and really enjoying that. I have a few CA-legal AR's too (Noveske middy uppers and LMT defender lowers). I'm a big Glock fan. Owned lots of other pistols and am basically down to several Glock 9mm's. I'm on a lot of gun forums. Sniper's Hide, AK forum, Ak Files. I don't post that much, but I'm a member. Recently I've been toying with the

Yeah, I'm truly sorry about messing that up. I did try to match the rate of fire when it was visible, but it was weird a lot of the time because the muzzle flashes are almost always added later in visual fx. That happened a ton on Gamer. I'd finish a scene, then I'd get a new cut of picture a day later and the muzzle flashes would be totally different. These things are works-in-progress from start to finish. No, they never use live rounds on set. At least, I've never heard of it. They use blanks of varying strengths. There's a person on set called an armorer, and they work with the

Nope, according to IMFDB its an AA12. http://www.imfdb.org/index.php/Expendables%2C_The -EnzNow It is an AA12 I think. The character who uses it is not in the reels that I cut, so I never really got to see it. But yeah, it's not a Saiga. My friend did that gun, and it sounded killer during the temp dub. Sly is really picky. I'm not sure how it will sound in the end, but it was pretty slammin' for the temp. Cinema guns sound the way they sound because real guns don't sound as cool as you would think they would. In Gamer, or any of these films, we usually have at least s
