Strangely on Canadian Amazon all shipments are from the US, whereas the UK Amazon's are all from Canada.

Not everbody's into guns.

Most, if not all guns use a spring, the Sten's is the most obvious I've seen.

At the end of WW2 the British realised that a) bolt action and semi auto rifles were obsolete and, b) sub-machine guns were inadequate for anything apart from short range combat.
So the went and built a gun that was shorter than the SMLE No 4, had a selective rate of fire and fired a very powerful .280 (7x43mm) round, which was much better than that fired by the Sten gun. Unfortunately, even though it was officially adopted at some point in the 50s (1952???) as the "R,A .280 No 9 mk 1" (Rifle, Automatic, calibre .280, Number 9 mark 1) it never saw service because the UK thought that interoperability with the new NATO standard 7.62x51mm round was more important. Eventually, the went for the L1 (FN FAL), which was an excellent weapon, but probably not as versatile as the EM-2.
Jabberwocky said:Riddley Scott wasn't the first to use WWII or WWI weapons as the base for sci-fi weapons.
The Stormtrooper Rifle in Star Wars was based on the Sten gun. The Heavy Rifle was based on the British Lewis Gun. Han Solo's blaster was based on the C96 Broomhandle Mauser.
Almost the entire Death Star escape and later Death Star attack scenes are based of WWII guncam and documentary footage.
George Lucas had access to hundreds of hours of unedited guncam footage from Flim Storage depositories around Southern California. When ILM needed a referance for how to make the spaceships move and what camera angles to film them at, he edited a whole bunch of it together and sent it off to them. Many of the scens in Star Wars are actually exactly the same, frame by frame, as actual dogfight footage from WWII.
The M-16 and AK-47 use springs ...if you're seriously refering to how the gun fires - you'll never be taken seriously ...ever again.
It's the same that a lot of people don't know how a jet engine works ...
The intellectual elite seem to moving further and further away from the general public these days - it's a shame I'm part of the general public.
It's like when I told a friend that humans can now make their own blood (which we can)
Problem is ...he's not stupid compared to most of them around here!
