Felinoid Posted February 10, 2011 Share Posted February 10, 2011 Just watched last night's NCIS ("A Man Walks Into A Bar...") and they talk about a murder weapon-a 25 mm Tokarev TT-30. I made sure-watched the scene a few times until my wife told me to stop. Closest I can come to is the Tokarev TT-33 7.62 semi-auto. A 25-mm pistol? Gotta get me one of those!! Probably standard issue with all those Mig-28 pilots. Funny, usually this program gets these things more or less right. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Steve N Posted February 10, 2011 Share Posted February 10, 2011 watched the scene a few times until my wife told me to stop. ..and that's why my wife doesn't like watching WWII movies with me. :lol: SN Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Jay Chladek Posted February 10, 2011 Share Posted February 10, 2011 It does seem as though while NCIS writing tends to stay at a higher quality than say CSI (which I can not stand) they have made some goofs lately. Last week's episode had a weak murder investigation as they had a hard time figuring out what the murder weapon was, yet visited one suspect in a pool hall. HELLO, POOL CUE! If Tony was such a pool shark in a previous life, he should have picked up on that. I guess they are breaking in some new writers on the production team. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

muswp1 Posted February 10, 2011 Share Posted February 10, 2011 http://www.justguns.com/handguns/tokarev-tt30.html I wonder if the script writer got the caliber (7.62mm) and the cartridge length (25mm) mixed up and no one caught it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Skyraider Maniac Posted February 10, 2011 Share Posted February 10, 2011 I wonder if the script writer got the caliber (7.62mm) and the cartridge length (25mm) mixed up and no one caught it. Thats what it looks like - cause the way it's mentioned in the show makes it sound like a hand-held gun capable of firing rounds the same caliber as an Apache chain-gun.... when in all reality its smaller than a .40 SW. funny!

It happens. But there are such things as factcheckers (love to get that job, but my wife says I'd be ruthless). Actually, the i-net's probably killed this job. Btw, in watching the NCIS repeats on USA, does anyone have a confirm or otherwise that a certain manner of sniper ammunition is called a "Kate"? Felinoid Quote Link to post Share on other sites

GForceSS Posted February 12, 2011 Share Posted February 12, 2011 I watched a bunch of episodes from Xmas to now and noticed Abbey's spider wed neck tatoo is MIA. It was there for years and suddenly, "poof", gone....Nice... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
