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.

@@MumrikDK In some ways, it's harder to be a gun enthusiast and watch action movies, because you tend to spot stupid, unworkable, and outright impossible things that actors do with guns, not to mention things they just do badly or wrong. It always sours a movie for me a little when someone gets 40 shots out of a 15+1 handgun, or 200 out of a 30rd mag, and I hate seeing an actor tip a handgun up at a 30-degree angle when shooting at a bad guy who is directly in front of him. The absolute WORST thing, though, is hearing those gigantic Clunk-CLUNK! Foley sounds three or four times (usually when the actor's hands are nowhere near the weapon's charging system) before someone shoots. Makes me cringe in annoyance every time, even in a movie I love (like Stargate). Only slightly less annoying is the old "CLICK! Ha! The bad guy fooled you into thinking he was going to kill you but the chamber of his pistol was empty! Idiot!" (like in Die Hard 2). No bad guy as murderous as a movie bad guy would carry a weapon with no round chambered.

And third and less meaningful is the fact the guard would have been startled by the unexpected gunfire much the same as anyone who served in law enforcement or military would causing a momentary lapse in response time..

He wasn't like a shooter anticipating a "go" signal to react in a fraction of second.

My favorite conventional submachine gun with a stock & a magazine attached outside the pistol grip. Heckler & Koch MP5A3 with flat retractable stock, wide tropical handguard, NAVY frame with a straight pistol grip & ambidextrous fire selector.

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.

I used the Steyr when I was in the New Zealand Army from 1998 - 2002. It was the standard infantry rifle used at that time. It has since been replaced by the MARS-L rifle which is a lot like the M16. The Australian Army (not to be confused with Austrian) still uses the Steyr. They are made under licence at Thales Lithgow Arms in Lithgow, New South Wales, Australia. Thales has made a modified version of it for use by the Australian Army as the EF88 AusSteyr. They also export it as the F90 Steyr. However, the weapon of choice for the elite SAS Regiment is the M4 carbine.

What throws me off the final shootout is the idea that McClane puts two +P rounds from the MP5 into his pistol and can still aim accurately.

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 look way too comfortable in that wig. 🤔

9:32 can't un see edited to add: Merry Christmas everyone at TFB!

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.

HK94s (along with early G3/MP5 clones) didn't come with paddle mag releases because ATF opinion letters compelled HK to remove the front hinge pin to the trigger group (around which the paddle mag release was installed) in order to prevent full-auto trigger groups from being dropped into MP5s. The addition of paddle mag releases in newer clones is just a result of HK, PTR, and others realizing that customers actually really like them.

"I've always considered Die Hard to be a Christmas movie." What. A. Hot. Take.

I grew up in a 1911 house, (still love 'em,) so my love affair with the 92 was mainly aesthetic, (Riggs and McClane made it look pretty cool,) and tinged with guilt. I enlisted in the Corps in '97 and eventually ended up with a collateral duty, (Ship's security aboard a carrier,) that had me firing this sweet pistol. Exposure to the M9 helped start the process of leaving the cult of JMB and abandoning my prejudice against 9mm.

Do the guns of Die Hard 2, I would love to hear your thoughts on a Ceramic Glock 7 that can't be detected by x-ray machines.

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.

Beretta's open top slide design is often mentioned as a feature that increases ejection reliability. However, most cases of ejection failure involve the casing being caught between the breech face and the chamber end of the barrel. So, it only helps slightly when the ejection failure has anything to do with the wall of the slide on the left side.

Imagine living in a country that makes good firearms and being unable to freely buy and carry those weapons.

Die Hard is totally a Christmas movie. The opening song is Run DMC Christmas in Queens. Great video!

NOT A CHRISTMAS MOVIE!!

It's amazing how fast a NYPD detective figured out how to function the action of an MP5.

It's not rocket science if you have experience with up to date guns and obviously John has that it shouldn't be to hard to figure out

One of my 9’s is a Taurus PT-92 which is a Beretta clone. It’s one of my favorites. It’s the “tank” of 9mm’s. Main difference is mine has an ambi safety and it’s 17+1

Of course Die Hard is a Christmas movie... every shot is so full of joy....

Check the release date on Miracle on 34th Street, and that's also a Christmas movie.

NOT A FUCKIN' CHRISTMAS MOVIE!!!

Stop pinging in discord, jesus.

Everyone loves Die Hard but I feel that Lethal Weapon is a very under appreciated Christmas movie. It's more of a Christmas movie than Die Hard because it has a gunfight at a tree lot.

I love the JPSO on the side of the frame since I work for JPSO

they should have used the Browning Hi-Power 9mm in stainless steel instead of the Berretta 92... it's what was used by John McClane in the Novel and it's a Better Gun that looks better on film... the Browning Hi Power was used by the legendary Lieutenant Colonel John "Hannibal" Smith of the A-TEAM... if these characters were REAL Hannibal beats McClane Everytime!

Rambo is also a Christmas movie!

Just about to watch the annual Christmas classic, then I see James did a guns of video, might as well watch that first and get me in the mood a little more .

I had problems with the 92 in the navy, but it was due to the dreadful magazines we were using, since they weren't serialized to the pistol and swapped around every time the gun was issued or shot. You just didn't know if your next magazine had been through the ringer or was brand new.

"Don't you have any Christmas music? This is Christmas Music! "

OMFG! YES! 🎅🥆

13:04 I see TFB went to the archives for Alex's P7, I only recognize it because of his two tone Rolex DateJust. Awesome video TFB, and its great to see James in the blonde wig, I almost spit out my drink!

I’m actually watching it right now and I just LOVE seeing the MP5 appear in almost every part of the film

4:46 WTF, bro? Why? LMFAO Also, you forgot to include the character, Sgt. Al Powell's .38 S&W revolver (model 15?) he uses at the end to finally kill Karl.

Finally, James has to curtail his unnatural infatuation with Austria’s admittedly über-reliable bar of soap and pay homage to the guns of Jesus Himself: the P7 and MP5! #NoCompromise #HKShouldHaveBeenInTopCCWVideo 😉

You won't even believe how much l've waited for a video like this.

Eddie may have had his MP5 in Condition 3 (breech closed on empty chamber, loaded magazine inserted). In the 1980's most soldiers were trained on submachine guns that were simple open bolt designs and if he was an ex-soldier he'd be trained to stow a submachine gun with the bolt closed on an empty chamber... even though that would be unnecessary for an MP5. Earlier in the movie you saw one of the terrorists/robbers slapping the bolt closed on his MP5 when he approaches John when he set off the fire alarm. Suggesting he generally kept the MP5 in a state that he couldn't just point the gun and squeeze the trigger.

Carl Winslow is the best police officer. Change my mind.

James is really throwing back to the early days of the channel. “Hi, I’m Alex C from TFB TV. Let me tell you how wonderful the P7 is.”
