I feel like in the scene where Furiosa is showing Max the killswitch sequence, he moves to to turn the safety back on on his gun. Is this just me? I could have sworn I saw/heard it. bonehandledknife primarybufferpaneloneangryshot
So I watched that part maybe 6 times and I still can’t tell what he’s doing.
The problem is the Grip Safety is very near the Hammer, and they would mean two completely opposite things.
This would have to be a dvd commentary thing unless someone can Elliot Spencer that shit and tell us if that’s the very distinctive sound of a hammer being cocked or the very distinctive sound of a safety being put back on.
I noticed this just last night during my most-recent viewing. I don’t know guns, but I interpreted it as (maybe) Max taking the gun off being cocked by lowering the hammer (if that’s even a thing with this type of gun). Either that or putting the safety on would both seem like appropriate responses to the increased trust in him that Furiosa is showing by giving him the code. The movie is making a point of showing _something_ going on with the gun there, and it seems to make more sense that Max would be de-escalating rather than escalating. Doesn’t it?
