In the HBO® epic Band of Brothers, there is a brief “firearms oops” in the scene where Private Webster confronts a baker who is reluctant to supply bread from his shop to the starving prisoners of the liberated Nazi Concentration camp outside town. He stuffs his GI .45 into the baker’s face to gain cooperation, but the pistol he is using isn’t a GI .45. Watch carefully—you will see white three-dot sights on Webster’s gun. Short supply of the real deal resulted in a substitution of a modern commercial replica pistol of the “loosely based on” variety.
