Sci-fi nerd post of the week: Tom Cruise's rifle in Oblivion

[fireball]

Fold/bend some sheet metal and screw it to an XCR and you have the same thing.

Interesting... I get Heckler and Koch, meself;

- flash hider.
- cocking lever position.
- that little ring around the fire selector.
- 'looks like' assembly pins in the right locations fore and aft of the trigger assembly.

Anyhow, there's my two cents. Also I note left-handed shooter!

I noticed the trigger guard, rear sling mount, and the magwell area. the CH helped a little. That and there are a noticable amount of lefties in Hollywood. Mark Walberg, Bruce Willis, Tom Cruise, I'm sure there's some other ones, I just can't remember their names of the top of my head.

he uses magpul ms3 sling in the movie by the way

If the thing mounted on top is supposed to be a sight that you look through, it wouldn't work. It's way to low.

...and motorcycle leathers. Cool.

My thoughts exactly.

I think it looks interesting. I'm just suprised the poster is not like every other hollywood douche with his finger on the trigger. And yes, Cruise is a douche.

Apparently Cruise went through some serious firearms training for his role in Collateral.

Fantastic movie!
Cruise did a great job of it.

Don't know about the rifle, but the jacket is really nice

 

[JR Hartman]

to me it looks kind of like the rifle in the post above where the OP asks what it is.

 

[Hilo71]

I thought it was great! Interesting story, and one of the most beautifully styles and shot sci-fi movies I've ever seen. Also great soundtrack by M83.

+1...

It was the best sci-fi movie I've seen for a long time. By far.

I want his light grey-ish blue holster! (which held a pistol which requires "turning on" but yet fires metallic projectiles?)

Looks like they used a small 5-10 round mag in there too... Maybe pretend it's a battery pack or some form of futuristic ammo....

No, he is just in compliance with the 5 rd mag limits set out by the future oppressive governments.

The rifle is a bushmaster ACR.

You're a bit late to the party.

You're a bit late to the party.

Not really, just clearing it up. There were guys calling out Rob arms and HK.

Just posted it to put a final answer.

You sure?

 

[Kevin M.]

You sure?

Yeah... his line of sight is pretty much just above the sight itself...

Draw a straight line through the optic and see where it lines up on his face.

The sight operates using the power of scientology.

I liked his pistol.

Ah... good ol' scientology, forgot all about that part of old Tom...
