Stupid thread i know but for anyone who loves to shout "thats my gun!" when they see it in movies like I do.....

The preview for the new movie Jack reacher with mr. Cruise has some nice M1A #### in it.

Also I watched a very entertaining animated movie called "Cat **** one" about some tactical bunnies shooting terrorist Camels and the one had a M1A Sniper setup, pretty sweet.

As well the Tv series Falling Skies has lots of dudes using M1A's in it as well.

Usually im pointing out my G36 clone 10/22 because you literally see it in EVERY movie that features guns, but its nice to see the M1A/M305 get some love
 
I was playing Black Ops 2 last night and in the Zombies campaign there is an M1a, but it only has 8 round capacity! Confusion with the Garand?
 
"28 Weeks Later" Great M14 zombie sniping action!
And just for Otokiak, the newest member of the E2 club, Patrick Swayze used an E2 in "Uncommon Valor" back in '83, before he became a 'heart-throb' in "Dirty Dancing"
 
The movie that made Rocket Surgery an Acting Star!

There are visual modified Garands pretending to be M14s in the movie A Rumor of War by Philip Caputo. They ended up looking like Italian BM59s.
 
Born on the fourth of july.Shorty again.LOL
If you mean Tom, that's actually pretty funny. :)

"A Perfect World" with Clint Eastwood.

Oh, and Uncommon Valor, Patrick Swayze's character uses one, in training I think.

Doesn't Forrest Gump set a company record field stripping and reassembling one?
