Movies Choose Your Weapon: Steven Seagal Talks His Favorite Guns

Steven Seagal and friend in A Dangerous Man.

Steven Seagal knows many things: kicking ass, making movies, the best hair ties to keep your ponytail up while doing the first two (among countless others). He also knows guns, as well he should—he’s starred in dozens of action movies in his 25-plus year career, and he also serves as a Reserve Deputy Chief in the Jefferson Parish, LA Sheriff’s Dept. (as seen in the awesome A&E reality series Steven Seagal: Lawman).

This week sees the DVD release of Seagal’s latest flick, A Dangerous Man, with our hero as an ex-special forces agent recently released from prison (for a crime he didn’t commit!) who proceeds to shelter (and make love to) the innocent, while reigning righteous destruction on the evil. We recently got with Steven Mr. Seagal to discuss the weaponry he uses on set, and in real life.

Wake N' Watch Wake N’ Watch: A&E’s ‘Steven Seagal: Lawman’ Trailer

Believe it or not, Steven Seagal has been down with the police for almost 20 years, and we’re not talking about the cop he played in one of our favorite action movies either. Yeah, this guy has been working the night shift at the Jefferson Parish Sheriff’s Office and locking up criminals from the Greater New Orleans area for the past two decades. The biggest surprise is that someone is just now making a Cops-style reality show about it. Better late than never. After watching this trailer, we’ll probably see what it’s about when Steven Seagal: Lawman debuts this Fall.
