[@stevea3149]

Regarding the book vs movie debate: Ordinarily I would agree that books are better, but we’re talking about the Coen Brothers here. You couldn’t ask for a better set of filmmakers for this book. While their work was amazing (just the cinematography alone!), the book did contain a lot of subtle yet powerful elements we don’t see on screen. All in all, the book and the movie- in this instance- are a tie. They’re both equal yet different masterpieces.

[@kevinmoore4887]

The military used Remington 870 and Mossberg 500 pump shotguns. Only recently have a few semiautomatic shotguns been added. The breach stays closed on a pump shotgun and they can fire a wide variety of loads. Semiautomatic shotguns tend to be more finicky and the suppressor could screw it up.

I imagine that it does a negligible job of stressing the shot. As he said it’s completely Hollywood aesthetic and the movie audio was all sound effects.

[@afanoflafear]

I'm curious about the backstory of Chicurgh: any idea if he had a tough upbringing growing up which led him on the path he chose? Losing a parent or both at a young age?

[@Ptrm594]

I don't want to be a know it all, but psychopaths are very different from Chigurh. I work in this field, as I research the biochemistry and neurobiology of psychpaths. I would go so far as to say Chigurh was not a psychopath at all. He may have had some psychpathic traits. But: The two primary characteristics of psychopaths - the so called "core traits" of psychopaths - are positive effect, and extraversion. People with high positive affectivity are typically enthusiastic, energetic, confident, active, and alert. Chigurh was not extraverted, nor did he have a high positive affect. Chigurh was a cold blooded killer. A psychopath is remorseless, yes, but their main features are positive affect, extraversion, and then, glibness, superficial charm, and narcissism. Check out Dr Robert Hare's Psychopath checklist. A psychopaths main weapon isn't their callousness. It's their charm. They appear likeable, agreeable, engaging. They're con artists. They con people, trick them, manipulate them. In many ways Chigurhh was not psychopathic at all. He had a code. He viewed himself as a manifestation of fate. A psychopath has no such conviction, and no such compunction. A more accurate depiction of a psychopath - again as distinct from a cold blooded killer - would be in the UK TV show Des, about the serial killer Dennis Nilsen. Psychopaths are also characterised by reactive anger, and impulsive violence. Chigurh was calculating. Cold. Careful. People often conflate psychopathy with cold blooded killers. Watch Ted Bundys interviews it behaviour in the court room during his Florida case. He's arrogant and brash, he's talkative, extraverted and charming. He scored very highly on the psychopath checklist. For more on psychopaths, check out any of Dr Hares works, or Dr Hervey Cleckleys pioneering work "The Mask of Sanity."

McCarthy could've used any other automatic shotgun as Anton's weapon in his novel, like the SPAS-12 (introduced in 1979,) but he didn't, and the Coens followed accordingly and didn't change it.

This movie never gets old, you can watch it over and over again and learn new facts. I didn't know some things like if you see him you die. That got me hooked!!!

[@Ctg507]

You ever wonder if he met another killer what would happen

He said you have to “become Javier Bardem” as if Javier Bardem was just playing himself in the movie

[@CFM1991]

This was really interesting video and its always nice to see a person explain something so fluently in which they are an expert in. But, was kind screaming "shoot the gun already" on the inside throughout the video.

[@anotherOneMore7]

Thanks for the interesting video. I'm surprised there was no mention of how unrealistic the sound level was in the film (as is the case in all films featuring hollywood "silencers").

[@sigmundfreude4088]

How are they wrong? (Serious question, I have no idea)

[@anotherOneMore7]

@@sigmundfreude4088 Suppressors (called silencers in Hollywood) do not make gunshots sound like silent farts or Star Trek sliding doors closing. It is still quite loud; probably comparable to when the neighbors call the police to complain about the loud electric guitar playing solos and strumming power chords, or the loud rock drummer.

[@smaller_cathedrals]

"These props are just a tool to tell a story." Might save that clip and link it every single time some nutcase in the comments complains about minor inaccuracies in regards to guns in movies. Just the other day I rewatched the opening scene of The Dark Knight Rises. That sequence is an absolute masterpiece. Yet the comment section got derailed by the fact that a certain part of the gun didn't slide back after having been fired. That detail had no impact on the scene at all. It drives me nuts when these gun fanatics get so worked up on stuff like that. Especially when you have gun experts (like in this video here) who completely understand how these things work in the movie business, and more importantly in the story telling business.

[@splattt8088]

it might have nothing to do with anything but i like that the colors don't match. It fits Anton, he doesn't care how it works and it has no personality, but if it kills, it works

[@mdd1963]

What the movie did not really explain was the 12 ga shotgun with seemingly about only a .45 cal exit diameter bore from it's suppressor.... (it sure as hell was not .729"!)

[@proteus5]

Nor did it explain why it never ejected an empty shell when fired.

[@RandomAsRob]

I love the sound they came up with for this weapon! It’s exactly how i imagine a Remington 1oz rifled projectile spinning threw a suppressor would sound. Can we get a demo anyone???

[@ElBach1y]

he probaly uses buck

[@mattrobson3603]

You can look up videos of people shooting suppressed shotguns. They do not make a 'foop' sound. Furthermore, any suppressed firearm with a report that quiet would still have the sound of the action cycling. (If you have a semiauto shotgun to do this with, go into a quiet room and quickly cycle the action a few times. It's pretty noisy.)

[@TonyTony..]

Love that he compares the weapon to a character in itself, it quite the personification the fact that you could give the silence trait qualities that of a fellow man, it’s not an antique.

[@TonyTony..]

Also I have to mention, I seen this video a while back in my feed and overlooked it all, but I just had to state the evident yet still subtle commendable informative insight that the guy shares its a cool outlook on the film, that must be appreciated.

[@DavidSmith-xu1fy]

The FFL holder I deal with said one of the Class 3 guys we have known for many many years actually made this gun and he fired one of two of them he built and it actually worked. He primarily built MP5 components prior to 86 and also built suppressors and was very talented. I don't have any proof of this but it wouldn't surprise me in the least I am pretty sure he helped with a lot of the Volmer MP5 conversions supplying parts like MP5K lugged barrels and other parts. Way ahead of his time. If there is a serial number or manufacturer of any kind on the suppressor we can probably verify.

[@tuberaider]

Great video. I had originally thought that it actually was a suppressor made for the movie. One observation, though, the assassin's name in NCFOM is _Anton Chigurh_

[@RyeOnHam]

Uh, you mean the actor wasn't a real assassin? Good lord, you're breaking the movie for me.

[@tuberaider]

@@RyeOnHam Yeah, seriously. Xavier Bardem is only an actor, not an actual killer. I was confused about it too. Go figure...

[@RyeOnHam]

@@tuberaider They should have hired Keanu Reeves, then, if they wanted a real assassin.

[@deadhorse1391]

So for a movie set in 1980 you pick a gun that didn’t come out till 1987? Sloppy work, how hard would it have been to use a Remington 1100? Other time travel guns in the movie too

[@tierone4761]

Deadhorse1 Yes, exactly it should’ve been a 1100. The host of the video should’ve explained why they went with the 11-87 instead of the 1100. Also the Chevy Caprice cop car that they used in the movie was way off as well, it was at least a 1988 or so. Good Day to You!

[@Dvenchy]

What difference does it make? Did you think the movie was real? It was a movie. Nothing about it was real. That includes the weapon he used.

[@jomby1231]

I was just about to make the same comment. The 1100 would have been a better choice, even though most people can’t see the difference.

[@deadhorse1391]

Dvenchy of course I don’t think the movie was real but I do think it was supposed to be a Realistic movie which I feel for the most part it was. It’s just to me these things distract from the movie especially When it could have been so easy to have done it right

[@iggyvasconcelos7191]

Anyone else remember 10 years ago, when red jacket came out with an actual suppressed shotgun?

[@greenpizza1176]

I just watched the movie, I enjoyed it, and had to explain to my family what a suppressor was, which they rolled their eyes and said it’s a movie just enjoy it.

[@janofb]

Not sure how it would work with the spread and all. The exterior hole would have to be significantly larger which would reduce the suppression effect. We know he used buckshot in the movie by the shots through the bathroom wall in the hotel.

[@MTWood]

2:57 That’s all you had to say. I’m out.

[@Outdoorshuntingshooting]

I had a silenced 410 shotgun, the silencer was pretty much the entire length of barrel, single shot only, with 2in carts was pretty much silent, I used it when doing pest control near houses so as to not get noise complaints and/or freak the locals out.. Was pretty quiet with 3in carts as well, but a bit of a crack can be heard when firing those ones. It was used by poachers a lot, or so I heard, as it folded in on its self so was easy to conceal.

[@PlymouthVT]

Nothing can silence a 12 gauge shotgun it is loud and scary as fuck.

[@kevinmoore4887]

The one detail in the script, being semiautomatic, makes using a suppressor nearly impossible. A pump shotgun would fire and the breach would remain closed. As in real life. Plus, pump shotguns can be fired rapidly.

[@avlawns3037]

Lol whut? Suppressors work just fine on semi auto firearms. Sure not to total reduction levels but they work.

[@kevinmoore4887]

@@avlawns3037 Suppressors are much more effective if fired from a closed bolt. Why the military "Hush Puppy" semi automatic pistol based on the S&W 9mm mod 59 (39?) Had a latch to keep the slide locked. As a semiautomatic cycles gas and noise comes out the breach as the case is ejected. I just found it odd they wanted to be true to the book, while in real life a pump would be quieter by keeping the breach closed. Pumps can be fired quickly. I've seen a MP5 fired with and without a suppressor. Yes, it was quieter, but still loud. Subsonic ammo is another requirement to be quiet, which I believe most shotgun rounds qualify as. The only suppressed revolver forces the cylinder forward so the noise doesn't come out of the gap. In the real world, I've never seen a suppressed shotgun.

[@peoplez129]

@@kevinmoore4887 Honestly I wish his shotgun was custom too and looked like it was homemade, so that there isn't even a breach to worry about. Something that expels spent cartridges internally into a compartment and cycles to a new round.
