In "Serenity" (S1E01), the [[FAMAS|FAMAS-223]] is seen in the hands of Malcom during the battle of Serenity valley. He then drops it and picks up a G36K to capture an AA gun. Zoë in a scene also carried a FAMAS but it changed to a G36K when she started shooting. The rifle is the Civilian version of the FAMAS, imported briefly into the US as the Semiautomatic FAMAS-223. It is virtually identical to the military FAMAS except for the lack of a full auto switch position and the barrel is not ridged (to take rifle grenades). The smooth outer barrel was an ATF requirement to be imported into the country. Soon after, the ATF declared all foreign "bullpup" rifles to be unsporting and banned their import. This was done years prior to the 1989 import ban.

The weapon was originally built by gunsmiths Larry Zanoff and the late Jim Boland for the film ''[[Showtime]]''. It is capable of folding into compact form and still be fireable. Technically it's a shotgun, but in the show, it is a rifle that fires big bullets. In "Our Mrs. Reynolds" (S1E06), "Vera" requires oxygen to fire, which could be explained if it used an ignition system like the Daisy VL caseless .22 rifle (1968-1969).

Firefly was a science fiction series that aired for one season on the FOX network. Created by Joss Whedon, the series starred Nathan Fillion as Malcolm Reynolds, the captain of a "Firefly"-class spaceship named "Serenity". Throughout the series, Reynolds and his crew travel through a distant solar system, making a rough living on frontier planets as smugglers while fighting various adversaries. The series mixed the "space opera" genre with certain elements of the Western, thus the mix of American Western weaponry with the more modern firepower. The series only aired 11 of its 14 episodes in 2002 before being canceled (the remaining episodes aired in 2003), but would subsequently gain cult status, leading to Whedon continuing the series' plot in the 2005 feature film Serenity. NOTE: The episode numbering is based on the order reflected in the subsequent video releases (the series actually aired out of sequence, see sortable table below.)

The following weapons were used in the television series Firefly:
The signature pistol of Captain Malcolm Reynolds (Nathan Fillion) in the series is a Taurus Model 85 revolver completely covered by a brass casting to make it resemble a semi-auto handgun. The look of the weapon was based on the Volcanic repeaters used in the Civil War as explained by Firefly creator Joss Whedon in the visual companion book of the series. In the Firefly universe, the gun is a "Moses Brothers Self-Defense Engine Frontier Model B". The same prop gun was used for the feature Serenity, but given to a new prop house who made the magazine straight on the bottom, and bulked up the right side plate and added a spring loaded rear sight. This pistol was then held by Fillion in his series Castle.
Jayne loads a Dan Wesson Supermag with a red dot sight before boarding the derelict vessel in "Bushwhacked" (S01E03). He's later seen armed with his LeMat on the derelict though.
One of the captain's men (uncredited) in "Out of Gas" (S01E08) is armed with a Webley Mk VI. Mal cleans one in "Heart of Gold" (S01E13). One of Ranse Burgess' henchmen is also armed with one in "Heart of Gold."
A Colt Single Action Army with a 3.5" barrel is used by one of Patience's henchmen in "Serenity" (S1E01). A 5.5" model is also seen notably in "Trash" (S1E11) and "Heart of Gold" (S1E13).
Wash's personal sidearm is the Colt Python. Alan Tudyk said he thought it was a Colt Cobra in the commentary to "War Stories" (S1E10). However, Tudyk shows considerable taste in weapons by stating he "loved" the revolver.
A Smith & Wesson Model 15 is seen in "Heart of Gold" (S1E13), this ornate, gold-plated revolver with ivory grips was Nandi's (Melinda Clarke) favorite gun, who said it had a history of "violence and crime." At the end of the episode, Petaline (Tracy Ryan) uses it to kill Rance Burgess, the father of her child and Nandi's killer.
In the series pilot episode "Serenity" (S1E01), Badger's writer (who apparently was typing the conversation in the room) pulls a stainless M1911A1 during the standoff.
Lawrence Dobson (Carlos Jacott), an Alliance agent that comes onto Serenity, carries an Astra 400 in "Serenity" (S1E01). Shepherd Book (Ron Glass) manages to take it away from him before handing it over to Zoë.
A Wildey Magnum is seen in the hands of one of Badger's men in the pilot and also in the hands of Lund (Tom Towles) at a bar Mal decided to start a fight in "The Train Job" (S1E02).
Lawrence Dobson gets a SIG-Sauer P220 Sport out from his bag after he knocks out Book, which is used to threaten both Kaylee and River in "Serenity" (S1E01). When Alliance troops search his cabin in "Bushwhacked" (S1E03), Jayne (Adam Baldwin) either has an identical pistol or kept Dobson's after "Serenity".
Commander Harken (Doug Savant) is armed with a reverse two-tone Beretta 92FS in "Bushwhacked" (S1E03). In a continuity error, it later turns into another pistol.
In "Shindig" (S1E04), a weapons scanner detects a pistol the party guest William Cortland (uncredited) had concealed. He then is seen giving up what appears to be a Beretta 21A Bobcat.
In "War Stories" (S1E10), Hoban "Wash" Washburne (Alan Tudyk) takes up what appears to be a Colt Government Model 380.
In "Heart of Gold" (S1E13), a Colt Government Model 380 is seen on the table while Malcolm cleans his revolver on the Serenity.
In "War Stories" (S1E10), the Star Firestar M-45 with a custom longslide is the handgun River took from a frightened Kaylee (Jewel Staite) to shoot the three Skyplex guards before stating, "No power in the 'verse can stop me".
In a continuity error, Commander Harken's reverse two-tone Beretta 92FS in "Bushwhacked" (S1E03) turns into a two-tone Jericho 941. Dual stainless-steel Jericho 941 pistols are carried by Zoë, notably in "War Stories" (S1E10).
A Glock 17 is seen in the hands of an angry drinker and a corrupt cop. Simon carries the Glock 17L variant with a optics rail and an under-barrel laser-sight attached to it during the assault on the Skyplex.
Jayne (Adam Baldwin) carries a SIG-Sauer P229 with stainless-steel slide during the assault on the Skyplex in "War Stories" (S1E10). An interesting note: SIG-Sauer P229 similarly customized was also the weapon of choice for John Casey, Adam Baldwin's character in the series Chuck.
A Ruger Mk II Pistol is used by Inara in "Trash" (S1E11), only when Saffron (Christina Hendricks) is rifling through the trash for the Lasiter. Malcolm was also seen preparing one in "Heart of Gold" (S1E13).
In "The Message" (S1E12), Mal and Zoë's old war buddy Tracey (Jonathan M. Woodward) grabs a Heckler & Koch VP70 on the bridge and uses it to hold off the crew.
Two ornate Walther PPK pistols, one gold-plated and the other nickel-plated with pearl grips, are seen in a box owned by Nandi in "Heart of Gold" (S1E13). Nandi called the gold one "Chaplain".
In the final episode "Objects in Space" (S1E14), River gets ahold of a nickel-plated Desert Eagle Mark VII, fully loaded and safety off, but no round chambered as Mal had confirmed. It was never fully explained how she obtained it, as it was supposedly locked in Jayne's cabin.
Police officers on Persephone are armed with MP40s in the pilot. An MP40 can be seen in the hands of another one of Badger's men at the beginning of "Shindig" (S1E04).
An Heckler & Koch MP5K-PDW with the stock folded is seen by one of Burgess' soldiers in "Heart of Gold" (S1E13). Also seen in the hands of one of Niskas Skyplex guards in "War Stories" (S1E10).
An Beretta PM12S is in the hands of one of Burgess' soldiers in "Heart of Gold" (S1E13) as well as in the hands of Niska's Skyplex guards in "War Stories" (S1E10).
In the series pilot episode "Serenity" (S1E01), The 'Browncoats' carry Heckler & Koch G36K rifles during the battle of Serenity Valley. These rifles are also held by Captain Malcolm "Mal" Reynolds (Nathan Fillion) and Zoë Alleyne Washburne (Gina Torres) in the episode.
Alliance Soldiers carry L85A1 rifles, notably during the battle of Serenity Valley, and across the episodes, such as "The Train Job" (S1E02). A few are also seen in the hands of Browncoats in war sequences, most notably Bendis in the Battle of Serenity in "Serenity" (S1E01).
In "Serenity" (S1E01), the FAMAS-223 is seen in the hands of Malcom during the battle of Serenity valley. He then drops it and picks up a G36K to capture an AA gun. Zoë in a scene also carried a FAMAS but it changed to a G36K when she started shooting. The rifle is the Civilian version of the FAMAS, imported briefly into the U.S. as the Semiautomatic FAMAS-223. It is virtually identical to the military FAMAS except for the lack of a full auto switch position and the barrel is not ridged (to take rifle grenades). The smooth outer barrel was an ATF requirement to be imported into the country. Soon after, the ATF declared all foreign "bullpup" rifles to be unsporting and banned their import. This was done years prior to the 1989 import ban.
A Ruger Mini-14 in a Muzzelite Stock is used throughout the series. This particular rifle was used previously in the 1995 film Tank Girl and then in 1998's Phantoms.

This version has a forward pistol grip added to the stock, indicating that this is the same rifle first seen in 1995's Tank Girl.Error creating thumbnail: File missingWhat is likely the same prop is seen on Persephone later in the same episode.
Faux Colt XM177E2
In "Serenity" (S1E01), a Faux Colt XM177E2 was seen in the hands of a guard. This rifle has A2 sights, a delta ring retaining the hand guards, A2 reinforcements on the lower, a 5.5" flash suppressor, and a round forward assist so it's not the 1960's vintage XM carbine in the title but closer to a cobbled together '90s carbine like this one.
In "The Message" (S1E12), a Colt Model 933 with a C-More reflex sight, XM177-style flash hider, and SureFire M500A WeaponLight handguard, is seen used by one of the "Independents" in Mal's unit.
In the pilot episode "Serenity" (S1E01), the Blaser R93 LRS2 Sniper rifle is held by a sniper at the meeting on Whitefall. Jayne Cobb (Adam Baldwin) knocks out the sniper and uses the rifle against Patience's men (starting with Two-Fry's hat). They were also seen use by the team that kidnapped Mal and Wash in "War Stories" (S1E10), where they are referred to as "54R" sniper rifles.
Jayne can be seen with a heavily modified Heckler & Koch HK770 in "Heart of Gold" (S1E13). The rifle is in a Choate Super Sniper stock (this stock is not available for the HK770 so must be customised), has been modified to feed from 20 round G3 style magazines rather than the proprietary HK770 3 or 10 round magazine and has a ribbed barrel shroud, and is fitted with a telescopic sight on an HK05 claw mount and a bipod. This is the same rifle used in the final season of Burn Notice in the episode "Down Range" (S7E03).
One of Patience's men, Two-Fry, carried a Remington 1858 "Cattleman's Carbine" during the exchange on Whitefall in "Serenity" (S1E01). Another is briefly carried by one of the bandits in "Our Mrs. Reynolds" (S01E06).
In "Serenity" (S1E01), Patience (Bonnie Bartlett) was seen using a Benelli M3 Super 90 shotgun with a pistol grip and lacking sights. The barrel is also cut down.
A Modified Izhmash Saiga-12 shotgun is the unique shotgun used by Jayne (Adam Baldwin) in "Our Mrs. Reynolds" (S1E06). The weapon was originally built by gunsmiths Larry Zanoff and the late Jim Boland for the film Showtime. It is capable of folding into compact form and still be fireable. Technically it's a shotgun, but in the show, it is a rifle that fires big bullets. In "Our Mrs. Reynolds" (S1E06), "Vera" requires oxygen to fire, which could be explained if it used an ignition system like the Daisy VL caseless .22 rifle (1968-1969).
Wash carries a Mossberg 590 Mariner with an aftermarket top folder stock when preparing to rescue Mal in "War Stories" (S1E10). A similar shotgun was seen used in the film Deep Blue Sea.
One of Niska's guards appears to be armed with a Heckler & Koch FABARM FP6 in "War Stories" (S01E10). Another FP6 (probably the same prop) later shows up in Jayne's arsenal in "Heart of Gold" (S01E13).
In the series pilot "Serenity" (S1E01), Mal was seen firing a dual Browning M2 .50 caliber machine guns mocked up as DShKs against an Alliance space fighter during the Battle of Serenity .
Jubal Early (Richard Brooks) is armed with a custom pistol in "Objects in Space" (S01E14). It fires bullets, but not onscreen. It appears to be a larger version of Jayne's holdout pistol (above.)
