Before anyone says it, I don't think they were using P38Ks. If the armorers just went ahead and converted two P38s to full auto without worrying about the legality of it, I don't think they'd have any qualms about cutting down the barrel of a regular P38. --Funkychinaman (talk) 18:31, 4 December 2015 (EST) Since the real P38K wasn't introduced until 1974,they couldn't have as the series was gone by then. There were plenty of home-snubbed P38s around in those days; the story that came with them being that they were "Gestapo Specials". In "I Spy" Robert Culp toted a snubbed P38 in an upside down holster(maybe the gun was snubbed to fit the holster?) Anyone interested the the UNCLE gun should visit the Man From UNCLE gun.com website. Plenty of great info there. --Tecolote (talk) 22:26, 5 December 2015 (EST)
unknown rifle
Milan Horth (Roger C. Carmel) carried an unknown rifle in "The Quadripartite Affair" (S01E03). There's never a good shot of it in the episode.
Maybe a sporterized Mauser K98k? --Funkychinaman (talk) 16:09, 11 December 2015 (EST)
Luger
It's clear there's something up with that Luger. I'm pretty sure it's a .22 caliber version, given how thin the barrel is and the how small it looks. Any ideas on exactly which? --Funkychinaman (talk) 18:53, 22 December 2015 (EST)
I suspect that is actually light reflecting off the bore restrictor screwed into the barrel for blank fire. Tecolote
- I'm not just referring to the bore, but also the thickness of the barrel and how small it looks in the hands of the actors. --Funkychinaman (talk) 11:45, 24 December 2015 (EST)

- As the show frequently uses toy weapons and these were very common at the time (also things like the Wham-O Kruger 08) maybe it's a pellet weapon?Foofbun (talk) 02:47, 10 August 2016 (EDT)
Bauer .25
I admit I'm a bit shaky on that ID. I initially IDed it as a Colt Vest Pocket, but the slide looks a lot more squared off. --Funkychinaman (talk) 18:46, 1 February 2016 (EST)
Bauers weren't made until 1972. That looks more like the Colt to me.
- Like I said, the back of the slide on the Colt tapers off, here it looks a lot more squared off. Maybe a Baby Browning? --Funkychinaman (talk) 22:35, 1 February 2016 (EST)
Federal Gas Riot Gun
I haven't the power to do this but at the beginning of 'The Giucomo Piano Affair' John Van Dreelen has a Federal Gas Riot Gun in his helicopter mocked up as a bazooka.Foofbun (talk) 05:24, 28 June 2016 (EDT)
- Yes, that's on the page. --Funkychinaman (talk) 09:40, 28 June 2016 (EDT)
Robot Commando
Thank you sir! Could you do the Robot Commandos from The Double Affair? Thanks a million!Foofbun (talk) 17:10, 29 June 2016 (EDT).
- I'm not really sure how to list them on the page. --Funkychinaman (talk) 18:07, 9 July 2016 (EDT)
- 'Other Weapons' I guess as they do fire rockets (cartoon on the show like the ICBM in 'The Silencers') which is worth of inclusion. Some other things; the entire private army in 'The King of Knaves Affair' has Mauser C96's with shoulder stocks, and when Nappy is walking though the Project Earthsave underground lair one of the guards has a familiar but unusual looking pistol with a shoulder stock. Thanks!Foofbun (talk) 19:48, 9 July 2016 (EDT)
Shots of the attachments from the UNCLE Special
The Yellow Scarf Affar has fantastic pictures of where Solo keeps the attachments to his UNCLE Special on the back of his belt. There are close ups of them as a police inspector examines it. Also there is a rifle with the THRUSH infrared sight (according to a feature on the DVD about the weapons of the show a kitchen olander) replaced with a Wham-O Air Blaster.Foofbun (talk) 19:04, 16 July 2016 (EDT)
