Colt Carbines (Not M16s)
I haven't seen the entire season yet, but that's not an image of an M16A2. Also we need to point out if they are A2, it would be anachronistic Excalibur01 (talk) 02:04, 3 November 2017 (EDT)
- Concur that the M16 section is wrong. I did watch the show, and saw zero M16s, and instead only carbines.
- They may have been M4s which would be wrong, but at least one looked like it had a properly small diameter barrel to be a Colt 603, or similar.
- Some looked like they were very wrong, and had RIS on the front (though it was dark), but they all had carry handles, no scopes or RDS.
- The team that went into the tunnels had scope mounts on the carry handle with (unidentified, but maybe D cell Maglight size) flashlights up there, which was a delightfully period correct feature to see.
- The carbine used by Hopper in the last episode had some sort of light on the forearm. Placement and light throw reminded me of M500, but it was dark and/or glarey so hard to tell.

- In the last episode, it looked like some kind of carbine. Fixed carrying handle, so point for that but it's got a RIS handguard so...point off. The light was just his handlight. Excalibur01 (talk) 13:48, 4 November 2017 (EDT)

Shotgun
ID'd as an Ithaca, but it looks to have a different shaped pump grip, different tube endcap style and a visible eject port on the right. I'd have to say this is actually a extended tube Winchester 1200/1300. StanTheMan (talk) 13:32, 7 November 2017 (EST)
- Nope, Ithaca 37. No ejection port on the side, pump handle is right, muzzle is right.--Mandolin (talk) 18:15, 2 December 2017 (EST)
- I was talking about the cap of the extended tube shotgun held by the Chicago cop, which though a quick and somewhat blurry shot clearly has an eject port, making it not an Ithaca. StanTheMan (talk) 21:40, 18 February 2018 (EST)
Chief Hopper's revolver
I'm not sure what he's supposed to be using. He has a Python in some scenes and then in 2x5 "Dig Dug" the revolver randomly switches between a Python and what might be a Model 19, but the scene is terrible for screencapping.--Mandolin (talk) 22:21, 2 December 2017 (EST)

Ultimately it pretty much just boils down to continuity error there. That said, I have a couple screens showing the gun that are decent enough to use (along with a couple others to add), I'll see if I can get a free minute to load 'em up tomorrow.
