Am watching a video about the last Matrix movie and when discussing how in the story of the movie the Matrix was a video game (at 22:38), the host jokes about playing Hitman for three days straight.

Holy shit is that a Fallout New Vegas reference!!??!!???!
Yes I know it was a nickname for the flag centuries before the game even uses it.

This is apt in ways you cannot possibly fathom.
Also it sounds like it was AI generated. I know it isnāt but it felt like Derringer wrote down the main chorus then worked back from it.
While we are on the subject my heart goes out to the people on Macho Manās theme, especially that one dude who though he was appearing at their graduation because he uses Pomp and Circumstance.

Originally he wanted eye of the tiger as his theme song but they couldnāt get the rights, and I am so glad they couldnāt b/c Real American is just fantastic. So cheesy, but so so good. I remember I put it on my workout playlist when I was shooting for a perfect score on the marine corps physical fitness test. I did get a perfect score that time(my only one ever). Some would say itās b/c I took my uncles advice and lost 5 lbs so I could finally get 20 pull-ups. I think itās b/c I worked that song into my workouts (-;

Hell, cheese wire would work just fine.

I had to go look that up bc we always had one of those serving dishes with the railroad gate style wire cutter built into it. Wow! I had no idea you could buy that.
Those things come in practically every cheap survival kit you can buyā¦ Heck I have one in my Swiss Army knife case that came direct from Victorinox. Wire Saws are A) super crappy to actually cut with and B) would leave a lot of evidence on someoneās throat if you actually attempted to use one for that purpose.

Yea I wonder if 47 discards his fibre wire after each use? The game lore tells us he is attached to the hardballer pistols so (insert plot magic) heās not worried about anyone noticing the same gun has been used in multiple hits. Plus he rarely has to use those pistols. But the wireā¦ there really isnāt any perfect way to get every drop op blood out of anything. Theoretically a DNA exam of the latest victims neck could show DNA from a previous victim which would give someone looking hard enough at least one connection. One red thread to keep pulling.

Thatās assuming 47 isnāt pulling in such a way as to not break the skin. We know 47 has an ungodly gift of knowing every possible way of killing a human being; itās possible that he knows the exact right way to pull that wire that renders the victim unconscious in seconds, preventing them from pulling at the wire and cutting their necks with their fingernails, and then once theyāre out, he just keeps the wire pulled enough to suffocate and cut off blood flow without actually breaking the skin. Even if they do bleed, itās probably more efficient and less suspicious to clean the wire than to continue ordering more of its material, assuming he doesnāt have something like a hundred yards of it in a big coil in his storage room.

Could be, but I donāt believe that is possible. He does have extreme precision though.
The 100 yards of piano wire makes more sense to me.

Well, 47 does do a lot of things that are flatly impossible, with his disguises being the easiest example.

And how fast he changes into them! Itās like way faster than any magician I have ever seen.

Until now.
Then again, 47 has full suits and not what this lady is doing.

47 before he found out about quick change acts.

He could change out the hammer each time and maybe the chamber too, to avoid the unique striations being linked. But that would be kinda Ship of Theseus, 47 changing the slide all the time.
In promotional material forā¦Hitman Contracts (?), it was mentioned that 47 doesnāt actually strangle with the wire, but that it in fact provides a precision lock that he uses to break the victimās neck. You could see this in Blood Money if he was going to fiber wire someone where there wasnāt space for the full animation, so heād snap their neck with it instead. But I donāt know if thatās strictly canon, because there are animations where heās clearly garrotting them and even the Blood Money cover has blood on the wire. The fibre wire always looked custom to me too.
On a similar note, 47 probably has a wardrobe full of suits and red ties. I like the idea of him opening it to nine identical outfits

Itās not a drop in part. Tons of work and then youāve probably just fucked it up. Maybe he does though? Maybe he just owns 500 sets of them which is why they are so hard to come by? 
. Really itās a video game bc AMT never made a lefty version but he has the mirrored set. All in good fun (=
He has to carry a vice, a punch, spare hammers and a cleaning kit in his bottomless pockets, partially disassembling the weapon and swapping out the hammer between every shot, which is why he avoids shootouts itās like handloading a musket between shots haha.
But I could see him having gunsmithing tools in that gun shed in Hitman 2: Silent Assassin.
Barrel hones, a whole rack of trigger pull weights, re-checkering tools, micrometers for firing pin protrusion, and a sweet lathe in the center of the room. And as 47 didnāt use it for gun storage until after Vittorio was kidnapped, it was probably a woodwork and metalwork shed anyway, for fixing things around the church.
