I just found this site and thought I'd share it: http://www.imfdb.org/index.php/Main_Page
Seems interesting for fans of movies and/or video games.

I found that site maybe a year ago and I thought it was an interesting novelty, but I find myself going there more and more frequently in order to identify firearms in movies and add to my wishlist.
Ok Im a little confused by this. Read this.
http://www.imfdb.org/index.php/Heat#FN_FNC-80
Then tell me if you think they were actually firing live rounds. Cause thats what it sounds like.
I assume you mean the following two statements?
Most likely, the director just wanted to give Pacino a bit of real-world advice. Any police officer should know the risks of civilian casualties in a firefight. Even the Army trains to only fire semi, which is why I loved my SAW.Despite being a full auto weapon, the director Michael Mann instructed Al Pacino to fire only Semi auto, being that the LAPD lieutenant would be concerned for stray rounds hitting bystanders.
Can't quite make out the picture, but the above statement is probably just in reference to Pacino's mistake. He stops firing, does a reload and charges the rifle. The author of that page was probably just amused that he saw a round ejected, meaning Pacino's rifle wasn't dry.Hanna reloads his FN FNC-80 and forgets there is a round in the chamber. Note live round ejecting in mid air. Oops.
Anyway, I think Heat is one of the movies I have yet to get on DVD. I'll have to check. I remember when it first came out and the bank robbery and resulting firefight is still one of the best shootout scenes in a movie to date.
