Kit Loadout of Will Smith's Character in "I Am Legend" movie?

intersite · January 02, 2008, 05:55

Can anyone confirm the equipment stuck to the AR type rifle Will Smith's character has on his rifle in the movie "I am Legend", especially the optics he uses. It looks almost Russian with the markings / chevrons? And the hand guards?

It will settle an argument :-)

Thanks all!

Sort of answering my own question, it appears to be some form of Trijicon ACOG sight, but I cant spot the exact one that has the same sight picture as in the movie?

Good eye. Here you go: linkaroo

Thanks for the reply!

I thought it looked Russian (the reticle pattern)!
- Is that feasible - the inertion of a Russian reticle into a Trijicon, or is that just Hollywood up to its tricks again?

Thanks...

gregw45 · January 04, 2008, 18:44

Typical Hollywood special effects.

Barbcue · February 11, 2008, 01:43

i think he had a Pentagon laser/ light set up on that poodle shooter as well.

GySgt D · February 22, 2008, 16:13

Could be mistaken, but that sure did look like a chinese made fake ACOG on his rifle.

An ACOG w/ Dragunov reticule?? Say it IS so.....

As far as the ' I Am Legend ' loadout; anybody got pics from the movie?

call me stupid, but what exactly was the reason for will smith sleeping in the tub?

did the zombies not know he was there or sumpin'?

JoeLad · March 14, 2008, 17:13

Perhaps the bathroom was the least accessible room in the house?

You'd think placing your bunker ontop of the house would be a bad idea. If they just destroy the house the bunker will fall

Good read. Check it out.

I'm guessing here but maybe because most tubs are cast iron and may offer a tiny bit of protection against incoming rifle fire?

Looks like a 16" M4 barrel, UTG rails and covers

and an ACOG - although I hear in the movie the ACOG has a SVT reticle(?)
I really want that extra long sling!

Pentagon MD3R light, that curiously seems to switch sides of the rail.

on the left;

on the right;

And a tub pic

;

JoeLad · March 26, 2008, 20:12

The barrel in the tub pic look much too long to be an M4 barrel.

Desert Dan · March 26, 2008, 21:42

If I was sleeping with an M4 in the tub I would at least close the stock.
OTOH he obviously has no plans to fire the weapon judging by where he routed the wire for the pressure switch.

ftierson · March 27, 2008, 04:06

I just watched the movie and, while this thread isn't exactly about the movie, I thought that I'd mention anyway that I thought that the movie sucked...

The Omega Man was much better, even with the thirty year old special effects...

Remakes are rarely better than originals...

16" M4 type barrel seen most commonly on Colt LE Carbine (6920), the semi version of Colts M4A1.

Before Uncle Sugar sucked up all of "US" Colts M4A1 production capacity, Colt supplied different barrel lenghts for the M4 family, 11.5" to 16" in two twists 1/7 and 1/9, and in Government or Heavy profile, depending on the customer's wishes.

Ah,..I'll take one of each!

If my MBR was a mousie, I'd hide inna tub too.

Oh yeah, almost fergot. I would be sure to have my widdle wubber ducky too.

Highdraglowspeed · April 05, 2008, 00:00

Headshots my ass, when the zombies come I got a .308, center of mass all the way.

I think just cause he was a' skeered....

DK · April 06, 2008, 00:22

Besides he woke up the next morning in the bed... and the sunlight was streaming in the window. When (and why?) did he open up the window shutters?

And what about the arms locker down at the front door? Neville had a different AR for each day of the week...

tigerfans2 · April 06, 2008, 20:49

Since we're askeing questions, how DID the gal drive onto the island with the bridges and tunnels blown?

And how did she drive away?

Just wondering......

Seemed to me like he lost/left behind an M4 every time he got in a firefight! He NEEDED all them guns!

Ooooh, good question! Maybe she took the Staten Island Ferry? OK, bad answer. Actually, the idea of a quarantine of Manhattan seemed pretty silly, since it is obvious that the infection would have already spread beyond, anyway.

As for the ACOG reticule, one shouldn't expect that the reticule seen on the screen will match that on the riflescope. The camera does not actually film through the riflescope, so the reticule must be added later, after the camera shot is filmed. I'm sure that the guys who add the reticule pick out what they think will be most entertaining to the audience.

Actually, I thought it was a pretty decent remake, and I did like the Chuck Heston version. I wasn't too crazy about the Vincent Price version, though, but it was OK. Richard Matheson, the original author, really was one of the great sci-fi authors.
