I seem to remember one of them saying the 50 round drum was old and real.
Maybe I was to busy watching Stephanie?

I believe the sheriff won it (or maybe it was donated) but it was a commercial semi-auto version with a stick magazine... until they carried it to the shop, that is.

I couldn't find the scene where they were discussing it with the sheriff, but here's the scene where he brings it to the shop: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=COZd_gXoqzo

Clearly a shorter barrel than the 16" version you'll find in the gun stores. Also note how the guy walks into the shop, gun in hand and with his finger on the trigger... "We're professionals, don't try this at home!"
