looks awesome and with the R rating definitely looking forward to this

The AKM with the Russian "encoder" look like it has some sort of PEQ type of laser over the front iron sight post, is this correct?

 

[Mike J.]

Here's a great new shot of the AK-47. Answers some questions.

[Demetrius]

Could it be this?, the buttons don't match:confused

 

[Mike J.]

Looks similar.

Minor spoiler alert:

Here are some new clips, including the AK in action:

I cannot wait for this movie. I want to make one of those exo-suits, like right now. Looks like they used molded Igus rod ends for the joints on all of the hydraulic cylinders. I'd be willing to bet the cylinders are just empty tubes with an iglide sleeve bushing inside too.

But what I really want to know is who will first to mod a Nissan GT-R.

That AK is awesome! I may have a new project!

 

[Mike J.]

Praise the Lord and pass the ammunition!

I just noticed you can see one of the little air-burst bullets in the upside-down magazine in the above shot of the AK-47! Attention to detail!

That's cool. They look like tiny missiles.

Good eye!

So here are some closer pictures from Comic Con for the ChemRail

 

[red4]

Is it just me, or are 3D print lines visible on it? I spot them on the vertical forward grip, the main grip, the bevel that runs along the top, and the black cylindrical area surrounding the embossed word CHEMRAIL.

 

[cadilovr]

Yup they sure are....I was talking to some guys about it. I would imagine they would actually sand those down.

 

[red4]

Probably time constraints coupled with Blomkamp's quick cuts and shaky cam, Weta figured the print lines were small enough not to read on camera.

 

[Vivek]

Perhaps this was a stunt version or backup piece not used during close-up shots.

The width of the "VENT" striping on the muzzle break doesn't match the on-set photos of Damon with his gun. It's too wide.

I'm guessing this may have been a stunt, a background gun (set dressing) or a prototype.
