That's a Speed Graphic. I had to use one in 1962 when covering sports for my high school newspaper. That's what the school publications department had in inventory. At least it had a strobe (with a heavy separate battery pack). But it used cut film sheets.

I used a modified one in photography school. Attached a Vivatar flash. Had it pre focused and f-stop to have a long dept of field, Did street photography with it, yep, with a 4x5 camera. lol … for non photographers, you get one shot and then had to load another sheet of film.
 
"I hate warriors, too narrow-minded. I'll tell you what I do like though: a killer, a dyed-in-the-wool killer. Cold blooded, clean, methodical and thorough. Now a real killer, when he picked up the ZF-1, would've immediately asked about the little red button on the bottom of the gun.."
 
Vasquez (Jenette Goldstein) was a body builder, JC asked her if she could pump up a little for the film. When she showed up a little to jacked, he told her it was a bit much!

JC really liked her as she's been in other movies he's done, T2 anyone?

She was also in one of the best vampire movies, near dark.

The M56 Smart gun, another movie prop built on a real gun a German machine gun. The MG-42 in this case.
 
It might be interesting to some, that Han Solo's blaster, the guns from "Aliens" and Hellboy's Samaritan were actually all build not by an US company, but by an English props house - Bapty & Co.

100% the props also show the English dry humor with there gloomy prop guns. We in American wanted Rocket shop guns!

they also filmed lots of off Hollywood movies in England in the 60’s & 70’s because it was cheaper.
 
You guys are gonna laugh,,,
But I've always wanted a Planet of the Apes M1 Carbine.

I met a man at a gunshow once who made close replica stocks,,,
The biggest difference was that his allowed full function of the carbine.

He had to make that pistol grip thingie much fatter to accept the magazine.
