A Glock with a hammer.
We all know Hollywood takes some liberties with firearms. Endless ammo, exaggerated performance, etc. The list goes on and on. I recently caught a blatant error in the Marvel movie ANT-MAN.When Hank Pym, played by Michael Douglas, confronts his old assistant Darren Cross, portrayed by Correy Stoll, Darren pulls out a Gen 2 Glock 17. He tries to shoot Hank Pym but has a malfunction.Here is a screen shot where the camera zooms in to show the malfunction.

I am going to start calling gun stores..OK maybe two gun stores of people we know and ask if they have Glocks with hammers like in the movie Ant Man.
Because if it is in the movies, it has to be true!
A Glock with a hammer. Now if they will change the grip angle….
and everyone knows Ant Man was such a sterling drama; more like Masterpiece Theater than a special effects fluff piece, that it must be true. No, Ant Man was more like a Documentary…
I’d be wary of buying any gun with a hammer that can be prevented from striking by any number of ants.
Somehow, I get the feeling that behind the scenes, a props armorer started to explain how Glocks don’t work like that, saw the director wasn’t going to listen, shrugged, and made the modifications.
And later went on to mock the decision with other prop guys.
