eli5. Why do most bad guys in movies use specific guns only.

436 viewsOther

For example, when it comes to using a submachine gun, the henchmen use mp5s and uzis. On handguns, they typically use the Sig Sauer P226. I can understand that bad guys use the AK platform because of its affiliation with communism and terrorism.

Because that’s what the prop company had on hand.

You can try to fit the main characters with a specific signature firearm but for the goons, availability in bulk is what matters.

Why would you go through the hassle to fit an entire squad of henchmen with FAMAS when the prop company you’re already working with has 20 lookalike MP5 for cheap ? Would it really add something to the movie ? And as a prop company is there really a demand to have an entire and diverse fake gun armory ?
