without reloading and could take somebody off a hilltop at 300 yards with one round.

Seeing the few Bond movies where Pierce Brosnan used a Walther P99 didn't make me go buy one, but it made me look into them.  After doing my homework, I liked what I saw and got the one that I've had for 12 years now.

 

Too bad you never saw the real James Bond ...

Die Hard didn't make me run out and buy a HK P7....but it sure did introduce to me the P7. I got a hard chrome P7M13 so maybe there was a little influence there and just not that it was first one I ran across when I could afford one.

Gecko45 taught me to tape trauma plates to my head to absorb 338 Lapua mags and I bought a Hk91 and immediatly broke it because he said HKs are :poop: does that count?

That only works if the 338 Lapua ricochets off of special mall walls, and you have to be uber ninja qualified.

I can barely spell anything in English.
I know how to say je ne sais quoi, I know what it means, but I had to Google the spelling. :D
Edit: spelling


Finally! A guy who looks up words he can't spell - that's even better!

Movies have sold a lot of firearms.
I find it ironic as the film industry are the most anti second Ammendment people on earth.

Smith and Wesson were delighted at the Dirty Harry movies.
Importers loved Enemy at the Gates, it sold a LOT of Mosins.
Boondock Saints sold a fair share of 92's
No telling how many John Wayne is responsible for.
