Was playing Tomb Raider 2013 and I saw that Lara had a CF-31 on her desk at a cutscene, are there any more references to these in pop culture?

Apparently that's a CF-30 and not a 31 in TR2013 according to eno801 from NBR.. well damnit!

I've seen them in a load of films and TV this year!!!!!

Zero Dark Thirty, 24, Tomb Raider and a few more I can't recall

I'm currently in Edinburgh, Scotland for New Years and whilst in a Cafe I spotted the Scottish Water Board doing some pressure testing on the main road, I knew what they were doing as I work for a Water Company back home.

Went for a chat with the guy and turned out he was using a CF-53 :D

That is a CF-31. You can tell by the rubber bumpers on the corners...larger than on the CF-30.

I've seen a lot of CF-29s in some Call of Duty games, I think Modern Warfare 2 and 3 have them. Haven't seen any 30s or 31s though.

CF-29's were all over American Sniper. Also in a few episodes of The Wire which I recently binge-watched all 5 seasons over the holidays.
