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.

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.

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!

:thumbsup:

muswp1,

In all likelehood, the best explanation. 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"?

They were talking about what rifle the bad guy used, not ammo.....
