It looks like to me like the Tec-9 in the screenshots has some kind of sleeve around the barrel shroud or barrel extension, which could be a modification made by the armorer, but it's also a characteristic of some toy airguns based on the Tec-9, which were pump-action and had an extended barrel and shroud which the pump-slide sits on. If the gun is never shown firing, I would suggest that it's probably such an airgun.[[User:ChopBlock223|ChopBlock223]] ([[User talk:ChopBlock223|talk]]) 07:52, 20 January 2023 (UTC) | |||

The unidentified revolver could be an early Taurus Model 85. The grips and the front of the ejector shroud match. ( StanTheMan thanks! ) -SeptemberJack (talk) 01:04, 17 March 2017 (EDT)
- Actually the front sight on that revolver looks different than that on the Taurus, that and it looks bigger overall, I think this might instead be a S&W Model 19 snub. As for some other IDs, the second of the first two Un-ID'd guns is another worked-over 1911-type, I'm leaning to possibly a modded Strayer variant. I think the Rock Island ID is solid on the first one. The final Un-ID'd pistol is another G17. The Mossbergs might actually be Maverick 88s, they don't look to have the switch safeties (and do look to have the button safeties in a couple shots). The ARs all look to be SP1s (at least the ones that have shots of the receivers), some fitted with A2 handguards and some fitted with A1-style (the rifle ID'd as an AR-10 is one of the latter).

- Stan's correct on the Model 19. In the second screencap you can see the adjustable sights and the raised front sight, which the Taurus doesn't have. Another win for Stan! -SeptemberJack (talk) 19:21, 17 March 2017 (EDT)
