The Guns of Die Hard (Which is a Christmas Movie)

In this episode of TFBTV, James Reeves goes over not only the guns of Die Hard - yes, THAT Christmas film - but he also brings you little known facts about the movie and the use of the guns in the movie, including the Steyr AUG, H&K MP5 and the H&K P7, as well as the trusty Beretta 92. PLUS, we have a little myth buster at the end - could John McClane really have pulled off the "Happy Trails, Hans" duel at the end of the film? James finds out today on TFBTV.

It's no coincidence that the best Christmas movie (Die Hard) and the second best Christmas movie (Lethal Weapon) both featured the Beretta 92. It would have been a hat trick if Kevin carried one in Home Alone. Oh, well...

[@DavidLLambertmobile]

I watched a old Walker Texas Ranger, 🤠 & in a SE Asia flash back, Cordell packs a 9mm Beretta 92F .... 🙄🤔😁🎬

[@alittlebitofhistory]

Not sure if true but I've seen trivia in a couple of places that is the same Beretta 92 used in both films.

[@davsny5]

Very well said. I concur 100%. Although, Lethal Weapon has the best opening sequence for a Christmas movie and one the best period. Die Hard has, basically, been my favorite movie since I was a child. I could actually recited the entire dialogue from start to finish. Home Alone was amazing. Loved Reindeer Games and the first two Silent Night, Deadly Night films, as well.

"The NYPD did not authorize semi-automatic firearms until 1993." That's New York for you.

[@DavidLLambertmobile]

As I posted, this point is not entirely true. The NYPD firearms training unit did field test/R&D the Beretta 92F 9mm. They packed them & authorized ESU guys, narcotics-counter terrorist detectives to use 92Fs too. The NYPD later chose the 9x19mm Glock 19, NY+2 trigger, the SIG P226 & the S&W 5946 DAO.

[@enesex]

Yeah and they allowed officers to continue to use REVOLVERS until August 2018 before requiring them to use semis. 50 or so officers still used revolvers until the forced transition in 2018. Imagine your back up showing up with a S&W 640 in .38 special....STUPID

I would like to add that Lethal Weapon is also a Christmas movie too.

[@ScrewBallTheAlien]

Wait it is? I haven’t seen it in a while, I must have forgotten.

[@TheBrokenLife]

And unlike Die Hard, the main character in Lethal Weapon actually has a positive and lasting Christmas transition. Holly is the only character in Die Hard that is actually experiencing a Christmas story (she comes to discover that her family is more important than her career), but the franchise throws that out in Die Hard 3. Riggs has a lasting transition (realizing that his life is worth living and learning to forgive himself for the death of his wife), that lasts the entire franchise. He's even a family man by the time it wraps up. So... It's arguable that LW is actually MORE of a Christmas movie.

[@jonathanaguirre5088]

Also the beginning credits have jingle bell rock playing! scene in a Christmas tree lot. Egg nog carton being shot through lol. A 9mm bullet with a bow on it as a gift. A man that’s suicidal but in the end gains a new best friend and a welcome family also.

I believe they got rid of the paddle release because they were required to change the internals in a way so that one couldn't simply slip in full auto parts and have a submachine gun. While redesigning it, they figured it wouldn't be a big deal to omit the paddle since there was a button. They were wrong.

[@schneir5]

I took German in high school and I remember in senior year we convinced our teacher to let us watch "Die Hard" in class because they speak German in it. Needless to say German was my favorite class in high school. I will never forget the german line in the film: "Schiess die Fenster!" which means "Shoot the window!" in an informal second person command. If Hans had said it the formal way it would have been "Schiessen Sie die Fenster!" Also if you know the literal translation it explains why Dieter (I think that was the guy to whom Hans gave the command) was confused and Hans clarified that he meant for him to "shoot the glass". I have small hands too, but I love my Beretta 92fs. You can easily change the grips and install an oversize mag release and the controls are accessible for people with small hands. Also I have read that they didn't actually have any HK MP5's in the film, but they took HK94's and cut them down to look like the HK MP5A3. Sorry I hadn't watched up to the part when that was explained when I typed the comment.

You should mention the huge design flaw of the regular P7 magazines. In german police it's advised to immediately load a bullet into the chamber when you put a full magazine into the gun because due to the construction of the magazine and the mag release combined you can accidently "fire" the lowest round in the magazine if you happen to drop the gun on its bottom. This happened to a friend of mine who wasn't aware of this at this point.

@@immikeurnot I mean the MP5 is like what neat 50 years old at this point? i would be abolutely shocked if noone could come up with something better by now.

[@GusFogle]

That's absolute and utter nonsense. The CZ Scorpion EVO is not in any capacity the same thing as an MP5. I've had 2 Scorpions, one in a pistol configuration run with a brace, and the carbine version. Both are well made guns, but are no substitute for a well made clone- DJ Getz, MKE, etc. It's nutty to suggest the Scorpion is a smoother shooting gun than an MP5 as well, the Scorpion is better compared to the UMP if anything- bulky, lots of injection molded polymer, direct blowback with a huge ass bolt hammering back and forth with every shot is not smooth at all. The MP5 is slimmer, slicker, has extremely smooth recoil, and enough weight for you to realize you aren't holding a toy. I suspect many of the naysayers simply can't afford an MP5 and reassure themselves the Scorpion is just as good because it's in their price range and they were too cheap to save up for what they actually wanted. I made that mistake and got burned TWICE. If I'd known what I do now, I would never have spent the money on a Scorpion and instead put the cash down on one good MP5 clone.

Its the same thing we see in the guitar world, "headstock fever" as i call it. if you want a gibson or a fender you will keep buying guitars untill you get one. In realistic terms the EVO is a better gun since it has a modern bolt hold open and AR style release and the injection molded polymer is a far better material than steel for a firearm body. But if you want an MP5 you want a MP5, and thats A+ ok aslong as you acknowledge you want it because you want it and dont dilute yourself into thinking its anything more than a kind of usefull PCC

@@therideneverends1697 The only thing I diluted myself about initially was that I could buy a cheaper substitute for the gun that I really wanted and be satisfied, so in that aspect you're right about me being dead-set. The age of subguns is a by gone era in any case, so one being more "useful" than another is sort of irrelevant honestly. It's perfectly fine for people to want a gun just cause they like it, not for it's utility as a super ergonomic combat weapon. I think what got me triggered was the OP's statement that if you want an MP5 you should just save your money and get a Scorpion- cause I did exactly that and regretted it.

Laughter is a technique to “loosen people up” in tense situations

I love the way you say "squeeze cocker"

Happy Christmas TFB TV!!!

[@Holammer]

When you showed the clip with the Steyr it hit me that most of the bad guys looked like they belonged in an 80's Poodle Rock band. Probably not intentional, but that set me up for a good laugh at 9:26.

[@marchenson412]

Totally a Christmas movie. Watch it every year.

I used to bad mouth the steering, until I tried one at an out door range.. Light, accurate, easy to use. I'm a lefty, and its great for me in that regard

[@yoshiike1]

4:46. Handsome gun there.

[@drumbergunnerer3162]

One of my all time favorites for sure.. Merry Christmas TFBTV and everyone out there.

[@GTGallop]

Just Awesome! Best TFB-Tv video yet!

[@URBANAMERICANTAC]

11:12. I almost died laughing. The look at the camera and the wig made for epic video.

That retired Marine should try out the Corps knew sidearm (M17/Sig 320)! That puppy is VERY easy to breakdown...

[@crusaderone1701]

That's the reason why I got a beretta 92fs. And i love it.

[@Lex-Rex]

Lethal Weapon is a great Christmas movie and who could forget about First Blood! Both are great Christmas movies.

[@jvs3186]

This movie and Lethal Weapon were the reasons I chose a Beretta 92 as my duty weapon

[@jeremy13bravo]

Don’t forget about Al’s S&W model 15 that he used at the end.

[@redbeardnj]

We have Die Hard to thank for some of New Jersey's super strict gun laws. Not even joking

[@Blando7887]

I once owned a Beretta 92, I deeply regret ever selling it and because of this video I have been reinspired to have one
