Part of the impact of that alley scene is that they used the same sound recording technique that they learned on accident from Heat. Instead of putting in gunfire effects in post-production, they realized from Heat that the sound of the blanks was better because it echoed so well in that urban environment and felt way more real for the audience. So they did the same in the alley, but this time on purpose. (Learned that from one of the making-of extras.)
Great vid / editing / taste. Slight correction -- I believe -- about the order of development. I'm fairly sure the USP entered development before the SOCOM program for the Mark 23 (1989 vs 1990 or so). When development began on the Mark 23, HK based it on their preexisting concept for the USP. I remember hearing or reading SOCOM was afraid operators with heightened adrenaline would inadvertently decock the USP's safety/decock lever instead of simply disengaging the safety from Condition 1. For this reason, the functions were separated into two different levers on the Mark 23's large frame. Much of the development of the two pistols ran concurrently, of course, but the USP 40/9 were released to the public in 1993, and the .45 in 1995 -- then finally, the Mark 23 was delivered to SOCOM in 1996, same year as the release of the USP Compact. And the USP Tactical in '98 (I'm hazy on the Expert and Elite timeframe). Yo homie.
How are you doing with your USP.45?? …. I’m guessing you have plenty of rounds on it by now.. Have you tried any .45 super through it yet??… How you you like the USP.45 compared to the HK45?? …. Lastly, have you tried any of the USP compact models? If so, how do you like the USPc .45 compared to the HK45c??
@@user-sj4nx4mt8c Hey! The USP .45 is top-notch! Very smooth shooter. I also like my USPC .45s, USP Compact 9mm, and USP Compact 40. I don't have the HK 45 yet, but I will soon. As far as the HK 45c it is my EDC!
I carried the USP .45 for a couple of years, trained often. My only complaint with the gun would shift its aiming point during follow up shots as the mag got more empty. The first few shots were fine, but once the mag was more than halfway done, it’s as if the gun became harder to get a follow up shot in the 10. I assumed this was due to the gun being very top heavy. When the mag is fully loaded the gun is perfectly balanced. Mag mostly empty, gun dips forward. I ended up switching to the Glock 21 as it doesn’t do that.
For volume 9mm, for Schopin power 45 ACP. Great video! Getting a can for nefarious purposes would be difficult, and concealing adjustable sights wouldn't be reccomended but curious if the USP Tactical was considered for Vincent's wet work. For screen purposes/practicality the size and muzzle reports might have been a factor.
I’m so glad others saw that scene the same way I did. I was 21 when I saw that movie and had just purchased my first handgun so that was almost 20 yrs ago and that yo homie part I just kept rewinding it on the dvr over and over again and then also was In love with the USP from age 13 from using it in the OG RB6 I own an HK 45 c but still don’t have the USP but I will one day.
Vincent flies in LAX and gets a briefcase on the spot. He probably worked with the firearm that was included with the workups and details for the hits. He would not have necessarily have chosen it himself, if we follow the info provided in the film. Nice video!
Beautiful editing and good shooting! The usp 45 can push you around a bit, it takes being a little more deliberate with the fundamentals to shoot as well as a modern 9mm. But again, awesome production value
After the usp 40, there was the 9mm and then the 45. Neil Mc Cauley had the 9 in 1994... He had to take a Sig Sauer P220 at the end to get a 45 caliber

Fifth round in the film was a miss, although it was Hollywood, and was deemed allowed for badass sake, but the fact of the engagement, in film, is 80% hit rate.

Interesting and to me that makes the most obvious sense.

Vincent walked so John Wick could run.
Love the editing and the actual effort to go full costume and gear in all your Vids.
Appreciate the kind words. Thanks for tuning in!
Watched this scene over, and over, and over. One of the top ten movie shooting scenes in history. Good job on the breakdown, well done!
Much appreciated. Thanks for watching!
This is the best video of the USP .45 I've ever seen.
Much appreciated, thanks for watching!

I'm picking up my HK USP 45 on Tuesday. HKs are my favorite brand. I have quite a few models. I can't wait to add this classic to my carry rotation. 😎
How much was it?

I love that movie. But on the topic of iconic scenes...If I think about Collateral, I always think about the club scene.
The club scene is a close second. Would have loved to use the "Ready, Steady, Go," track in this video!
The club scene is a classic but Replacement Killers opening came first.
amazing content, probably the best gun video essay in the market at the moment

There's a 20rd 45acp version of the gun and that's scary😂😂😂

beautiful love letter to both the usp and movie. if you grow your hair out you could use the suit for a val kilmer heat larp
Much appreciated! A Heat Larp would be awesome!
I am so glad I kept my usp 45acp
Sick! Have 3 of them

I just bought a USP in 9mm. I’m already have it in 40 cal. My next purchase for sure is the .45 ACP version gotta have the trifecta
You cannot forget there's the compact, tactical, expert, and elite. It's more than a trifecta.

The last head shot was high. Should have lowered the right hand target a foot. Cus the last head shot at the dropping angle really tells the tale.
Sick video, really well edited, but i need to know the track you used at 1:00
Much appreciated. Regarding the music, 99% of the tracks I use are from @whitebataudio.
is it just me or am i having deja vu
Its not you, had to re-upload due to a CZcams issue. Thanks for tuning in!
so john wick inspired by collateral?
Sorry what's the name of the music at the beginning?
Opening track is "Be Quick or Be Dead" - Karl Casey

I definitely got USP 45 on my radar. Just put a USP 9 Expert on layaway yesterday.
Do you mind sharing the cost of the expert? TIA

love it when this channel uploads, keep up the good work classified! (also damn yt back on its bullshit, huh?)
Much appreciated. More content coming soon!
collaterals biggest mistake was killing him at the end so you couldn't have a sequel
Indeed. I'd still watch a prequel.
Im 100% done with sequals prequals and remakes
Demand better psyops and diversions pls
what kind of sights are you running?
Is this a Popo Medic second channel?
As a Popo Medic fan I approve of this hypothesis
Think anyone will notice?
HK fucking rules!!!
It does indeed! Thanks for checking out the video.
What holster did you use in the recreation?
I uss Galco Black Widow belt slide holster
Dude please teach me how to make vincent hair
That my friend is a long lost art form...
What a unique channel, you should call these series... Notorious?
Much appreciated! Solid idea!
@@OperatorClassified does this channel have a discord?
Are those mepro light sights on your Usp?
Believe so, previous owner had them installed and was actually impressed by them. Not "film correct" but enjoyable none the less.
What sights are on the USP? Is it a tactical model?
Normal sights on USP, target sights for the Tactical
Conceal carries a .45 🗿
Not reversing the magazine's top round in your glamour shots of the gun reveals that you are an HK casual. Delete your channel.
All this to see if you were cool.
Youre enough.
Shout out to the USP9!
The first pistol I ever bought myself. 👍👍👍🎯
