Steve McQueen's B.A.R. in The Sand Pebbles.

Rats. Never saw it. Now I have to go rent it...

Steve McQueen could have carried a rusty RG .32 and it would have been cool.

I'm pretty sure they both had them. I was 13 when the show started, and I was a HUGE fan. If I remember, the guns looked like .32 Berettas with screw-on barrel extensions, silencers, folding stocks, extended magazines, and scopes. Pretty bizarre, but at 13 I thought they were super-cool. You could buy a plastic toy version, but my best friend Mark (another huge fan) and I thought we were too old for those. I suspect he wanted one as bad as I did, but we were ashamed to admit it to each other...
