I think the Woman was played by Karen Allen,
coincidentaly she was in a film on Channal 5 last night.
I've seen "Handgun" a couple of times and it always
struck me as being rather anti-gun, portraying shooters
as, surprise surprise, a bunch of Rambo's with sexual
problems, who only talk about Guns and shooting people.
I have to say that her method of dealing with the rapist
was rather good though, although what she did with the
Python in the end was a bit distressing :-(
