Collateral - HK USP .45

[@c3bhm]

Part of the impact of that alley scene is that they used the same sound recording technique that they learned on accident from Heat. Instead of putting in gunfire effects in post-production, they realized from Heat that the sound of the blanks was better because it echoed so well in that urban environment and felt way more real for the audience. So they did the same in the alley, but this time on purpose. (Learned that from one of the making-of extras.)

[@forgivemylaughter]

Interesting and to me that makes the most obvious sense.

[@OperatorClassified]

[@warrenb8228]

I carried the USP .45 for a couple of years, trained often. My only complaint with the gun would shift its aiming point during follow up shots as the mag got more empty. The first few shots were fine, but once the mag was more than halfway done, it’s as if the gun became harder to get a follow up shot in the 10. I assumed this was due to the gun being very top heavy. When the mag is fully loaded the gun is perfectly balanced. Mag mostly empty, gun dips forward. I ended up switching to the Glock 21 as it doesn’t do that.

[@Kraeh667]

I love that movie. But on the topic of iconic scenes...If I think about Collateral, I always think about the club scene.

[@OperatorClassified]

The club scene is a close second. Would have loved to use the "Ready, Steady, Go," track in this video!

[@forgivemylaughter]

The club scene is a classic but Replacement Killers opening came first.

[@f-grade]

Great vid / editing / taste. Slight correction -- I believe -- about the order of development. I'm fairly sure the USP entered development before the SOCOM program for the Mark 23 (1989 vs 1990 or so). When development began on the Mark 23, HK based it on their preexisting concept for the USP. I remember hearing or reading SOCOM was afraid operators with heightened adrenaline would inadvertently decock the USP's safety/decock lever instead of simply disengaging the safety from Condition 1. For this reason, the functions were separated into two different levers on the Mark 23's large frame. Much of the development of the two pistols ran concurrently, of course, but the USP 40/9 were released to the public in 1993, and the .45 in 1995 -- then finally, the Mark 23 was delivered to SOCOM in 1996, same year as the release of the USP Compact. And the USP Tactical in '98 (I'm hazy on the Expert and Elite timeframe). Yo homie.

How are you doing with your USP.45?? …. I’m guessing you have plenty of rounds on it by now.. Have you tried any .45 super through it yet??… How you you like the USP.45 compared to the HK45?? …. Lastly, have you tried any of the USP compact models? If so, how do you like the USPc .45 compared to the HK45c??

[@cowboypenguin]

For volume 9mm, for Schopin power 45 ACP. Great video! Getting a can for nefarious purposes would be difficult, and concealing adjustable sights wouldn't be reccomended but curious if the USP Tactical was considered for Vincent's wet work. For screen purposes/practicality the size and muzzle reports might have been a factor.

Vincent flies in LAX and gets a briefcase on the spot. He probably worked with the firearm that was included with the workups and details for the hits. He would not have necessarily have chosen it himself, if we follow the info provided in the film. Nice video!
