Brad Pitt - Terrorist

[Ohio Joe]

According to US Weekly, the SWAT team raided a Budapest warehouse where weapons were being stored for use in the epic zombie flick, with anti-terrorism officers seizing 85 guns. The firearms, which were supposed to be nonfunctional, were automatic, military-style assault rifles that were in good working order.

The guns were confiscated at an airport near the film's set, where they were being stored.

"This morning a private plane brought guns wrapped in a parcel from a company to an individual ," said the director of Hungary's anti-terrorism unit in a statement. "Guns like these are highly illegal to transport even if they were to used as stage guns, which hopefully they weren't."

A source told the magazine that Pitt — whose Plan B Entertainment is producing the movie set for a December 2012 release — isn't to blame for the prop snafu. "The movie company's employees must have made a mistake bringing the guns in without the Anti-Terrorism Unit's permission," said the unnamed source.

Lots of weirdness to go around here. Raiding a movie prop warehouse? The guns were in good working order and not props? A prop snafu? WTF?

6. So movie prop guys made a mistake in getting 85 full-auto assault rifles?

And have them flown in to a foriegn country on a private plane?

9. People should know you don't fuck around when making zombie movies

Those bastards get out of the controlled area and all hell can break loose. I don't know why people aren't shocked at the fact they only had 85! At least 3-400 should be a proper precaution!

10. Are guns in "good working-order" really necessary for a film? Seriously,

I've seen some movie props up close, and they're often made of plastic & styrofoam. As for real weapons on a film set.. WTF? indeed.

12. Most "prop" firearms are real and altered to fire blanks only.

14. Correct

The barrel is plugged with a plug with a much smaller opening than the barrel itself. This is to replace what a bullet in the barrel does for a gas operated action. Blanks won't create enough gas pressure to operate a gun's action without them.

13. Maybe someone knows an outbreak has already happened

and there's been a cover-up!:nuke:

15. Prop guns don't kill real zombies.

16. Is it really that easy

to get 85 automatic, military-style assault rifles? Damn.
