Can anyone tell me what kind of guns this is for the bank robbers?
Ar15 ?
Semi auto ?
Auto ?

2 of them are either using civilian AR-15 style rifles converted for full auto or they are some type of military M4 carbine derivative. They're used in full auto mode, but fired in manually controlled bursts.

Someone more into details on this stuff could probably give you more specifics about models.

The third one is using a Galil, an AK-47 derived Israeli rifle chambered for NATO ammunition. It is sometimes called "the Balashnikov". Not just for a joke, but because its designers original name was actually Balashnikov (but later changed).

So when I hear we can’t ban guns for hunter purpose , hopefully they don’t hunt with those guns huh ?

If those guns are legal for civilians I just don’t get it .

it's a movie

assuming they were shooting 5.56 (they were), the holes in the cars were VERY lol.

Converting to fully automatic is a felony in the USA, montrealcorp. Those movie guys are criminals.

Yeah ok but don’t you think owning those guns not being automatic is still overkill ?

My feelings (I am a life member of the NRA) is that AR-15 type rifles have a small and valid use imo. Perfect gun for feral hog hunting. I don't see much other use for the rifle. But.... I am a pistol and shotgun kinda sport user.

Great website next time you're watching a movie and want to ask that question. https://imfdb.org/wiki/Main_Page

They are compact M-16's.

Personally, I'd have no problem banning a bunch of semi automatic rifles like they did in 1994. And it did lower gun crime. But things need to be acknowledged before pulling out a 30 year law with the assumption that your going to get the same result.

From 1994-2004, you didnt have very many AR15s, AK47s, AUGs and other SA rifles in the industry. Now you've got about 25 million semi autos stashed away under beds and in closets which was never the case in 1994.

I'd imagine that hardening transfer laws would potentially make a bigger impact amongst about 30 other things that would work better as opposed to an assault weapons ban but who knows until you try.

I'd assume you'd get the country's most aggressive gun buying excursion again and the law will go into effect with about 50 million rifles that everyone gets to keep and use and that you'd be operating under the pretense that you'd have probably about 100x more rifles in circulation than you did in 1994.

In full auto, these would have to be a certain age to be legal in the US if we we assume they were originally full auto. If they were converted, that would usually be illegal. But that's really a difference that does not really matter much. If we assume a civilian firing in full auto without much training, then he is less dangerous than if he was firing in semi-automatic mode as the latter would force him to shoot in a more controlled manner and preserve his ammunition better.

In the movie here these are not really portrayed as untrained civilians. They are moving like soldiers and firing like soldiers. They use a basic "fire and movement" tactic of the kind soldiers would use and they reload well. The actors more than likely had a military instructor. It's not really something you'd expect too many criminals to do, so the clip is more "military tactic vs police tactic" than illustrative of your garden variety criminal.

But yes, a person with a long gun is pretty much always more dangerous than someone with a handgun. A handgun takes a lot of practice and maintenance of your skill to be precise with even at fairly short ranges like 10m-20m, while with a long gun you can precise out to 100-200 yards with only basic training.

If you can put the cat back in the bag with the amount of weapons currently in circulation in the US is an open question. I'm guessing it would take at least a generation, and that time-frame in itself would probably hinge on broad bipartisan support and support in the populace.

I've seen a documentary on the making of Heat and they indeed underwent extensive training with military instructors.
