Flashpoint TV Show

This is for all the cool guys and of course, for hot girls (in fact, hot tempered) who are fond of action. Unless you have just returned from mars, you must be aware that the bang bang show is coming again. If you are also a gizmo freak then get ready to bash with technology of 60s. I am talking about the Flashpoint. The only thing which makes it different from other police dramas is hi-tech weapons in its possession.

Do you know this amazing thing about this show? All the weapons and even the spectra helmet being used in this show are the inventions of 1960. Whether this is C8 Rifle, Sniper rifle, Glock Pistol or MP5 submachine gun, all are the French, German, Austrian and Canadian models of 1960. Only Remington 700, sniper rifle belongs to US. I suppose, whoever has selected these gizmos for the show; definitely owns a nice collection of guns’ models from all around the world. Cool choice Man!

They have not meddled with the designs at all and have retained them in their true form. Only the color of Spectra helmet has been changed. SRU cops are wearing black helmets, although the original Spectra helmet comes in only two colors, blue and green. In fact, at present, Danish and French military is using the green spectra helmet.

I am keenly interested in hi-tech weapons; even the old models fascinate me. Some old models of pistols and rifles are so damn perfect that they are still used in military and of course by gangsters as well. Glock pistol and sniper rifles are examples of that. In Flashpoint, both are put to maximum use. The actors operating them must be having fun. Whoever will hold semi-automatic Glock Pistol in hand once, won’t be able to resist the temptation of firing at least, one shot. But alas! They use fake cartridge, so you can’t judge the damage a single bullet is capable of doing.

But I must admit that excellent filming and stunts give a glimpse of true impact of these dangerous beauties. But in contemporary markets more efficient guns are available. That’s why Lewis views these gizmos of 60s with disgust on the show, as being a former gangster he’s fond of fully automatic machine guns and pistols. I like Sam’s Remington 700 as well. Keep sniping for the show….
