Seattle Samoan gangs in the 80's, easy to get a full auto Uzi.
But my cousin was a heroin addict and knew people that knew people.

Nope.

in the South, everybody orders "Coke."  If the place doesn't sell Coke, the server/counter person asks "Is Pepsi okay?"  If they want to choose from the restaurant's selection, they ask what they have to drink, or what sodas they offer.

In the North, they call soda "pop".  In the 50's, kids called it soda pop everywhere.

I don't know of anyone who calls all sodas "Coke."  Maybe you're misremembering?  Many do call all Pepsi-Coke type sodas "Cola". Then they can order a cola and not worry about the brand being offered.

Not sure where this ties into Prop Guns, but I imagine we'll circle back to "Pop Guns" soon.   :rofl:

Well, go ask my two buddies that mentioned that. They are from Northern LA and GA somewhere.  They don’t really know everyone from “the south” tho... 

My post was to Tom G about many people calling pistols Glocks.

Anyways, gun props.

I just watched that a few weeks ago.  I remembered 2 ...

A man's gotta know his limitations.   :crazy:

The line is more or less correct--"Three.  You always carry three...." but the scene shows Harry tossing 2 speed loaders out the car window.  Poor continuity.

I rewatched it a couple of times -- just that one scene.  Harry may have tossed 2 loaders from his left pocket using the left hand before tossing a third from his right pocket/hand.

But, if you look closely and freeze the movie, it looks like he only has 2 rounds in the left-hand speed loader that's visible.  The way he's holding his hand it's really had to tell if there is one or more loaders in it, but you can definitely see space between the two rounds in the left loader.
