I Rank The Best (and Worst) Rifles & Shotguns from HEAT
In this episode of TFBTV, James Reeves ranks the long guns (rifles, SMGs, and shotguns) of the movie HEAT, Michael Mann's crime drama from the 1990s. In ranking the guns, James discusses the theoretical pros and cons of the different platforms seen in the film such as the FN FAL, Benelli M3, Galil, the HK91 and H&K's MP5, the AK-47, AR-15, and fan favorite, Al Pacino's FN FNC. Do you agree with the list? We invite you to leave your own ranking in the comments.

The FN FNC was the 'boutique' choice. A detective carrying a custom short-barrelled 1911 and a Bvlgari watch wouldn't carry just any rifle, it would have to fit his persona. "Unique" for some translates into good, for others bad. Side note: The AK5C is still the service rifle of the Swedish armed forces and it is largely a rugged FNC.

One of my favorite scenes, and not just because, many years after first watching Heat, I stumbled across an M3 at a local gun store and caused my bank to suffer mild withdrawal pains when I (inevitably) failed the willpower check to just walk away. Still have it, love it dearly, even though it's a complete PITA to modify. Nobody makes accessories for it. But...another neat detail in that scene is that Cherrito's shotgun is punching six-hole patterns into the truck. That tells me he's not using 00 buckshot, but the larger 000 shot, which is usually loaded six to a shell. Not common, because it's not really needed...unless you're shooting through barriers, like doors or bodywork. Excellent choice for that application!

I think the FNC kind of makes sense from a filmmaking perspective. My guess is that Mann wanted something with a distinctive silhouette that'd not only fit with Pacino's character but also make him easier to identify in wide shots and action scenes where there are a lot of guys running around in dark suits, and the FNC's shape sort of fits the police role, unlike other guns of the time that had more of a "military look" or would have struck audiences of the time as "bad guy guns." (Anything AK-derived or with a similar silhouette.) The folding stock is also an asset for action scenes. There are a lot more options nowadays, and I'd think the same character in a modern remake might use a SCAR or G36, but back in 1995 I can't think of a lot of options that weren't already used by other characters and also weren't iconic from other movies. (Like the AUG in Die Hard.)

The FNC was replaced in the Belgium army, home of gun design and production, since the 70's till being replaced with the also indigenous FN SCAR. A very tech army still rocking a variant of the FNC, the Ak-5, is Sweden; to the present day. HK is very badly represented in this movie with a civilian "DMR" unscoped when the G3 SG/1 sharpshooter/sniper rifle was introduced in 1972 (called clamped scopes); Pitty it's not on the movie - or at least some clone of it instead of a iron sights variant only; such a crew surely could get hands at least on one of this G3 specialized variants - not even going so far as asking for a PSG1 or the militarized version MSG90.

These comments show 1) a misunderstanding of my comments and 2) a misunderstanding of how the roller-delay blowback system works. First, yes, the HK91 doesn't have adjustable gas because it uses a roller delay system. It's like my saying "this car doesn't use spark plugs." Whatever the reason - because it's diesel or electric, whatever - doesn't change the fact that it doesn't use spark plus, so I don't know why this is an "A-HA!" comment. Number 2, some of you seem to think that roller delayed blowback is some sort of self-adjusting gas system. This could not be more untrue, which is why HK manufactures different angle locking pieces. I was going to type an explanation but I found a good one from a random-ass webpage when I Googled it for something to copy-paste instead: "The advantages of roller delayed actions are significant. First, the lighter bolt assembly and reduced bolt velocity mean that felt recoil and muzzle rise are almost non-existent, particularly in pistol calibers and compared to straight blowback. Generally, roller delayed firearms suppress far better than direct blowback as well. [...] *Moving up to centerfire rifle calibers complicates the roller delayed story.* It’s also where the design’s advantages begin to diminish. *Against popular piston and direct impingement systems, delayed blowback is saddled with some serious disadvantages. Remember, blowback guns rely on chamber pressure to operate. There is no gas system to tune. This means that variations in ammunition pressure, barrel length, or adding a suppressor significantly affect cyclic rate on a roller gun.* Sure enough, these also present challenges for competing designs, but their gas systems either self-regulate (to a degree) or can be tuned to match the situation. The best a roller delayed system can do is swap for a different locking piece to extend lockup time. That’s because the angle of the locking piece’s engagement surfaces determines how much force is needed to move the part.

Greatest collection of Reeves’-isms yet. Sizemore “Cobaining” the courier with a Benelli M3?! Outstanding Video even if the Galil should’ve been #1.
In Sweden there are about 200.000 FNC's, although "modified" to AK-5. The two I have used where heavy as hell but never failed me with live ammo.

I remember the North Hollywood bank robbery. I was driving from N Hollywood to Burbank. Saw a long line of police cars going the opposite direction. Ironically, my niece would end up working at the same bank years later. Great movie!
FNC for the win. That rifle is underrated in civilian market. Maybe I'm biased though, because it is my country current service rifle along with the Pindad SS-2.

it is up to debate whether the police round in the neck killed him or whether the shot under his chin out the top of his head killed him first. It was not very bright of them to walk into the bank with their masks already on and their guns out, as that is what caught the attention of a passing police car, not to mention wasting valuable time trying to shoot the locks off the ATMs. Absent a nearby underground parking lot to switch getaway cars, I think they were doomed because helicopters had them in sight. Larry pulling out a full auto .308 in the parking lot was a nice touch..... lol
Awesome video, please do more 'best of' videos! Small correction though... Danny Trejo was in tons of movies before Heat. Keep up the great work!
I just watched heat again for like the 500th time with my best friend the other night who had never seen it and he couldn’t believe how well the movie held up even after a quarter century
Literally not a boring moment in Heat.
People who think Heat is long and boring will never be able to appreciate incredible cinema!
“ Empathy was yesterday today your wasting my motherfuckin time!” “ Did you fall in love?
Heat is my #1 favorite movie of all time. Love your commentary on the long guns-- and such hilarious commentary it was-- great sense of humor-- awesome video !!!!!!!!!
The hi-point C-19 that Came out of China in early 2020 is my favorite
I believe Danny’s first movie was with John voight called runaway or runaway train it also stared Eric Roberts
For anybody guessing: at 4m49s the guy holding the Colt COMMANDO (wich fires in single and 3 round bursts) is a BOPE operator from the Rio de Janeiro Military Police, and the operators with the Colt M4s at 4m52s belong to the COMANF, the brazilian equivalent for the american MARSOC. Colt won a public binding in early 2000´s to sell Colt M4 COMMANDOS (wich fires single and 3 rounds bursts) to the Rio de Janeiro law enforcement, as well as regular M4s (semi and full auto) to the brazilian military units.
Watching this made me feel warm and tingly inside. Don't judge me, I know I'm not the only one.

It's ok guns have that effect on some people.
You nailed the weapons perfectly once again my friend, a quite enjoyable & informative profile of the long-guns in one of my favorite films! I'm a big fan & owner of HK guns & love the MP5 & the 91 but there's so much more to dig in this killer movie gun-wise! Every Christmas my wife & I visit family in Orange County but we reserve a high floor room with a fantastic LA view at the Bonaventure Hotel there where I enjoy walking those shoot-out locations. Thanks for the 2nd part of the "Heat" weapons breakdown, the highlight to my week!
Thumbs up for all the photos of NZDF guys in the Benelli M3 part. I remember being 18 a seeing HEAT in the cinema (and a million times since), I always dug the M733s in the main shootout scene, but there is a special place in my heart for the M654 used during the armoured car scene at the start. Also Pachino's 'great ass' line and delivery is one of my favourites in movies history.
“Never get attached to something you can’t walk away from in 30 sec or less”
I am old enough to remember when we used to call ourselves Otakus and when it used to be called Japanimation. I love Heat. I got the Blu-ray and the original VHS copy. It's one of my favorite bank robbery movies even though the action bank robbery is only 10 minutes. The M733s used got me into getting one of my own. I highly recommend James to look at the anime Black Lagoon because that show takes place in the 90s with a bunch of guns of the period.

Re: Pacino’s FNC, in Hollywood Movie Logic, the most practical answer is not always the best one. In this case that’s because as one of the film’s 2 leads, it was a worthwhile endeavor to give him a unique, distinctive looking gun and not another AR despite how this might rankle gun nerds watching the movie.
“I had to do it.” F-in love it! Video was nicely done also.
One of my favorite videos so far (even better than the guns of Die Hard)
illegally converted to fully fun mode - hahahaha those phrases that James adds - more please
As cringe as his performance was in the movie things started making sense after I saw that Pacino’s character was supposed to have a coke problem in the movie. They filmed it with that in mind and decided afterwards to cut that out. At least for this one movie it explains his erratic behavior.
I'd love to see James rate the weapons in Sicario Day of the Soldado.

Now I want a full video of James reviewing the FNC
In "Heat" almost all weapons are appropriate, not from the point of view of efficiency, but the logic of the event. The logic is that things didn't go according to plan. This is an extraordinary situation. SWAT use Hk5 because they usually storm buildings. Val Kilmere's character doesn't try to kill all the cops, he suppresses them. Every situation has an explanation
Heat is one of my favorite movies of all time, but I kind of wish it ended differently. Also, I wish I could own a legit Commando.
You should absolutely rank the guns in other movies as well. Like Die Hard, could make a great Christmas special. You went over them before, but I saw no rankings.
'Heat' is full-blown Pacino at his best; yelling lines out of context for no reason, constantly walking away while delivering improved nonsense, the gold chain, the gum-chewing, the pompadour...I miss the '90's.
I will say, as right as he is about taking a Colt Commando or AK over the full length M16, I would imagine those were pretty standard for Police in the 90's. And it was just neat to see Wes Study rocking it instead of a musket or bow and arrow.
I love this movie, this channel, and those snug fitting shorts your wear so well.
Sweden adopted the FN-FNC as the AK5. How about them apples?
Didn’t realise Tears for Fears were the North Hollywood robbers, the 90s were a tough time for all of us.
There were many FNC's brought in prior to the 1986 ban of new machine guns. They were imported semi auto and made full auto by an American company. I'm guessing it was used because there were a bunch of them still available even in the 90s. They are also one of the most inexpensive carbine type full autos available on the secondary market. I believe most of them are fully transferable as well.

I mean, when they made this film CGI was still an embryo and stupidly expensive (remember, Jurassic Park came just 2 years before this move and was probably the first movie to have really good CG which inflated the budget more than the animatronics)...it wouldn't be far-fetched to say that at the time having the guns shoot blanks would have been less expensive than having them not shoot at all and then add gunfire and muzzle flashes in post
A long time back in 1968 after seeing what the M-16 556 could do I have never had doubt of its effectiveness.
Speaking of the North Hollywood shootout, what a difference a few firearms laws can make... On August 1, 1966 Charles Joseph Whitman climbed the clock tower on the University of Texas, Austin campus and began a shooting spree. When word spread that the police were unable to gain access to the tower because of a lack of covering fire, several members of the community showed up with their hunting rifles. These civilians kept up a steady stream of covering fire, allowing police officers (along with one civilian) to cross the ground in front of the tower. Now fast forward to February 28, 1997. Larry Phillips Jr. and Emil Mătăsăreanu robbed the North Hollywood Bank of America branch. Upon leaving the bank, they were engaged by police officers. The two were protected by homemade body armor and used fully automatic weapons to wound several officers, the rest quickly pulling back to cover. For want of anyone with a high powered rifle, the police were kept at bay for 44 minutes. One officer did finally procure high powered rifles from a local gun store (and was later reprimanded for having done so). Not one civilian with a high powered rifle came to the aid of the officers. Imagine what a difference there could have been if only one hunter with a high powered deer rifle had come to the aid of the police in North Hollywood...

I was across the street at a donut /coffee shop(on a break between classes at LA Valley Community college) when the NorthHollywood shootout started at the BofA not 100 yards away from were my friends and I were sitting. We thought it was a mid morning drive-by and ignored it until the plate glass window starting getting hit as round went through the wall into the plate glass bowing it out onto the sidewalk. Funny that I can only think of it in blurry VHS memories now.
