Hi,
Does anybody know of some good refence sites for guns? I would like some 2 or 3 way pictures with good detail. eg. side top and from the butt of the gun or even just the side will do. I am mainly looking for WW2 weapons like the tommy gun, garand, sten as well as german and other countries weapons.

thanks Dale Jenner

I was researching Scotchlite for front projection and in-camera lightsabres when I came across the following film products and service source. They also rent and sell a whack of cool mock-firearms and vehicles:

hey sable, scotchlite was discontinued a few years ago, i went through hell trying to find out...but you can buy glass microspheres which is what gave it it's reflectivity, if you cant find them where you are let me know, i've got a hoard of some (i bought them for making my cat eyes "shine" like the real thing)

as for weapon pics i have a book of small arms of the world i bought at a garage sale, it has some nice regular old pics, but it also has exploded view drawings of some guns, i think the tommy gun is one of them, i'll get the title and publisher info for you. everything you mentioned there is in it, plus more

if you need any more info let me know via email


later
Tom
