Knives in Popular Culture?

[TheJon]

Now I was playing around early and I noticed something interesting on this game. There is a playable character that named blackboard that seems to have a Spydervo military in his pocket in one of the promotional drawings. What do you think? Is it a military? Interesting that they would draw that in when it never comes up even remotely in the game. Although it is extremely realistic. Although the Navy Seals don't use Desert Eagles.

I heard they use whatever they want.

After looking it up it does look like a blacked out military with regular hardware and a more simple pocket clip (probably to avoid copyrights).

Ps; blackbeard*

 

[TheJon]

I'm assuming you're referring to what gun Navy Seals use, Danke42? I've also heard they can use whatever they want, but to my knowledge they are issued Sig P226, and can switch at their digression, so having Navy Seals with only desert Eagles just seems a little odd.

And thanks Kaozer, I didn't catch that.

About a year and a half ago they dropped the sig and are using glock 19's if I recall.

I always thought the Desert Eagle was a funny gun in all of these Tommy Tactical video games.

I'll pick "Handguns least likely to ever be used by any military forces" for $1,000, Alex....

Now that you mention it, I do vaguely recall hearing something about them going to glock 19s as well. Was that around the same time the army picked up the Sig Sauer P320?

Rather get a coonan.357

 

[TheJon]

The Marines MARSOC units get issued M45A1 which while not in 357 are pretty dang fun.

I think it's a video game and it's not real.

And this has to do with knives how exactly?

Concept art is used to decide on the general look of characters in a game. They often don't match up exactly

I couldn't see it in that picture you posted so I looked this blackbeard fellow up. Upon zooming in on a less funny copy of the same picture I noticed you're dang right, that does look like a millie. The clip with the triangle portion around the pivot screw is there. However I can't actually see a Spyderhole or a blade at all.

I guess it is just a mystery. Still for a fictional video game character he has good taste.

 

[TheJon]

I know it's a video game, and not really, I just found it amusing that someone on the tram new enough about knives to consciously draw one in.
