You'd mostly want stuff that gives good effect on the room itself.
Shotguns using both slugs and large buckshot.
Handguns
Rifles
For video purposes, you'd want rifles in the AR15 category which are nicely decked out, and/or other types of "assault rifles".
Hitting it with some large caliber rifle rounds might give a nice effect as well.
With shotgun slugs, some Brenneke magnums would be very nice, as they do massive amounts of damage. Might even be nice to do a 12guage breaching job on the door.
My biggest concern with this is the safety aspect. If you're doing all the shooting from inside the building (and you'd have to, to make the bullet holes appear to be travelling the correct direction; otherwise you'd have hole-fragments spreading and spewing the wrong way). But if you're shooting from inside the building, then for 360 degrees around the outside of the building there would be bullets travelling out in all directions, which is extremely dangerous.
It'd be hella expensive, but best to line the outside with brick. Or, build it down inside a wash or canyon somewhere, and coordinate that anyone outside the room is OUTSIDE of the area, or behind cover and not moving from that cover till the session is over.
Hitting it from the inside with large caliber rifle rounds is kind of silly, but you could arrange to have it shot from a distance and arrange for where to hit the outter walls so that the penetrating rounds would hit interesting things inside the structure.
So, give considerable thought to the safety aspect. Make sure everyone's on the same page, have a pre-shoot safety briefing, make sure everyone knows what's going on and have them prepeat it back to you.
I think this might be fairly interesting. You'd have to really deck it out inside as though it were really a room, then be super careful to strip it apart and reconstruct it off site.
Be almost better to pre-build it and put it in place with a crane off of a flatbed, and load it back up the same way; keeping in mind that it's structural integrity would be severely fucked up afterwards. It'd take some figuring how to go about it.
let me know what you end up doing =)
As for guns, obviously shotguns do the most damage, but I don`t think they come across quite as sexy on film as say "assault" type weapons with high capacity mags, etc. |
I beg to differ... my 12 is HELLA sexy.
