The Guns of The Matrix
The guns of the original Matrix trilogy (1999–2003) — Neo's twin Skorpions and Berettas from the lobby shootout, the Agents' .50 Desert Eagles, Trinity's SPAS-12, plus the Reloaded freeway chase: Morpheus's Glock 18C and the Twins' UMP — each real gun mapped to a current production model you can build.
