film guns

de bene esse: literally, of well-being, morally acceptable but subject to future validation or exception

Say hello to my little X-ray friend! From Scarface's M16 to Bond's Walther PPK, see-through images of film guns that deglamorise killing machines

The works were made by British artist Nick Veasey in an attempt to 'deglamorise' guns by reducing them to the status of scientific specimens. The 51-year-old used his signature X-ray technique on firearms ranging from the tiny Derringer - the gun used to assassinate Abraham Lincoln - to the M60 wielded by John Rambo in the film First Blood. Pictured, Al Pacino as Tony Montana with his M16 in 1983's Scarface.
