ernestmayhand 10 Posted April 29, 2009 Report Share Posted April 29, 2009 I'm producing a music video and we're shooting (camera shooting not gun shooting ) this weekend in Houston. I'm trying to get a hold of an M16 or AR15 for the scene which we're shooting on Sunday morning. The shots with the gun include close ups of inserting the mag, loading rounds in the mag, slinging it over the back, charging the handle, running with the gun slung over back and that's it. Of all the guns I own, none will exactly fit the part for this. The video's theme is military related, the artist, KB, is from a group called Street Military so I'm using the military theme as a metaphor. I've produced 2 videos for him over the last couple years and they've received a combined total of over 300,000 hits on YouTube. We're going to have a big personnel carrier out there (a Deuce) and it's going to be pretty cool. Just need to get a hold of a rifle and things are complicated because I'm flying in to Houston on Friday night and may have to ship something from up here but am hoping someone in Houston would want to come check out the video production and bring there rifle. Compensation would be a DVD (or Blu-Ray if you prefer) of the completed video and behind the scenes photos and name in credits. Alternatively, I'm not an expert in military accuracy but would a Mossberg 500 with pistol grip be a viable alternative for a soldier if he didn't have a rifle? Or do they use another kind of shotgun in the U.S. Army? I even considered using my Saiga 12 and having it be as if KB picked it up off a dead enemy... Please PM me if you can help me out! I would be eternally greatfull!!!!!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Superhawk138 202 Posted April 29, 2009 Report Share Posted April 29, 2009 If the video shoot was in Atlanta I would help you out. Good luck with your mission Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Nailbomb 10,221 Posted April 29, 2009 Report Share Posted April 29, 2009 I'm way out of reach for this one. The mossberg 590 is the military issue one(with either a sporter stock or pistol grip and buttstock), as well as the bennelli M-4 if i'm up to date. I've got a basic A2 style AR, but unless you want to move the shoot to syracuse i can't help Quote Link to post Share on other sites
scoutjoe 276 Posted April 29, 2009 Report Share Posted April 29, 2009 That's the 590A1 (minus the flashlight and sidesaddle shell holder) Can't help ya past that... sorry Quote Link to post Share on other sites

BronCobraJet 80 Posted April 29, 2009 Report Share Posted April 29, 2009 Wow, if I still lived in Houston you could have used BOTH my AR15 and Mossy 590 w/pistol grip! That would have been cool. Sorry. I moved away in '93. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

ernestmayhand 10 Posted April 29, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 29, 2009 Thanks everybody for the offers, even though not quite all the way there I'm still on the lookout for a for sure rifle (and a for sure military vehicle like a Deuce or Jeep if anybody happens to have one of those) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ernestmayhand 10 Posted May 4, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 4, 2009 Well it all worked out, here's some rough screenshots, video coming soon with the rifle footage, might even have some Saiga footage in there depending on the couple scenes left to shoot up here in the Pacific NW.
