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.

    I can’t really bash on the FNC since even the AR-15 sucked when it first came out. I like my AR-15s but I wouldn’t classify them and the best. I remember being a young Sergeant in Iraq reading in “Stars & Stripes” how in the Army performance test of 2005 that same type of M4 I carried performed at the bottom of the list with most stoppages compared to newer stuff out there. As for the FNC, I think it would be cool if Brownell’s did an FNC for their retro line.

    If you enjoy movies that emphasize attention to detail, it's hard to beat the elevator scene where Det. Casals (Magwa) unloads the 00 Buck in his Mossberg 590 in exchange for breaching rounds before they blow the hinges off the hotel room door. Michael Mann does not fuck around.

    I grew up in the 80's and was mesmerized by the total package Michael Mann gave the world with Miami Vice, from the look of everything, the music that was featured, the characters. Heat really brought me back to that. The whole feel of the movie, the music, the realistic human imperfections. One of the best movies ever. On my top 10.

Even the .50 are different, being NATO 12,7x99 and Russia 12,7x108mm. They don't have proper maintenance tools to keep the trophy guns there are more demanding in this issue than any ever built AK.

    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. Thus, a more acute angle extends lockup while an obtuse one allows the breech to open sooner. Swapping locking pieces requires at least partial bolt disassembly and is not exactly something that’s ideally done in the field." - www.internationalsportsman.com/how-roller-delayed-firearms-work-and-why-it-matters/

    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.

    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

    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.
