The Guns of Civil War
Every firearm from Alex Garland's Civil War — the press team's escorts and both factions' AR builds, almost all wearing EOTech holographics and ACOGs — each mapped to a current production model you can actually build, with the optic where we stock one. Researched from public sources; not affiliated with the film.
A road trip through a fractured America — the rifles on every side.
