The following weapons were used in Season 1 of the television series Hunters:
Pistols
ASP
In episode 6 Meyer Offerman (Al Pacino) briefly sports a pistol that seems to be ASP. It is only used twice and is only seen clearly once.
Beretta Cheetah
Lonny Flash (Josh Radnor) carries a Beretta Cheetah in an FS model. It can be identified as a Cheetah (meaning 80 series) by its size and barrel length, and as an FS model by the squared trigger guard, but it cannot be discerned between the only two Cheetahs that came in the FS models, the Beretta 84FS (double stack magazine) and Beretta 85FS (single stack), because the only time he is seen loading the gun it far too blurred. While he uses it many times, his dramatic waving of it, and its small size make it fairly unidentifiable, save for a few quick shots.
Colt Model 1903
The first weapon seen in the series is Biff Simpson's (Dylan Baker) personal pistol, a blued Colt Model 1903 with pearl grips and a large suppressor. It appears a number of times more in the show, in the hands of him and Travis Leich (Greg Austin).
Colt M1911A1
Joe Mizushima (Louis Ozawa Changchien), a Vietnam war veteran, carries with him a Colt M1911A1 and is shown to be extremely proficient with it. Two are seen in Meyer Offerman’s armory. A nickel-plated one appears in Meyer's armory.
Luger P08
The main weapon seen in nearly every flashback is the Luger P08. In the real world, the Luger was meant to have been phased out in favor of the Walther P38 by the start of the second World War, but its high cost and relatively high accuracy meant that it was a mainstay for officers and SS.
Springfield Armory M1911-A2 SASS
In the third episode, Sister Harriet (Kate Mulvaney) uses some 1911 derivative fitted with a Springfield Armory M1911-A2 SASS upper conversion kit, with an additional suppressor. However, this kit turns the pistol into a single-shot breech-loaded pistol, but Harriet fires two shots back to back. Because of the way she holds it, the receiver itself can't be seen so the base pistol can't be identified.
Walther PPK
Like Joe’s M1911A1, the weapon carried most often by Sister Harriet (Kate Mulvaney) is Walther’s PPK, in line with her background with MI6. While they were originally developed for Nazi police inspectors, after the war, Walther relatively quickly became a major supplier for groups all over Europe, and MI6 supposedly used the PPK. She often dual wields them and occasionally uses a suppressor. Her intro card sees her doing both, and the chess piece modeled after her seems to try to emulate them.
Unidentified pistols
Offerman's armory holds two unidentified pistols. The first has two rare attributes: the lower extends all the way out to the muzzle and it has a skinny slightly squared trigger guard that bends down, and one seemingly totally unique attribute: the lower is parallel with the barrel until the last inch or so when it aggressively slants up at an angle.
Revolvers
Colt Detective Special
In episode 8, Jonah (Logan Lerman) wields a Colt Detective Special.
Nagant M1895
In episode 3, Travis (Greg Austin) uses a suppressed Nagant M1895. While eagle-eyed viewers crying out "Wait a second! That's a revolver! You can't suppress those!" would be correct in most cases, the M1895 is noted for its unique gas seal, which forced its cylinder forwards, trapping any gasses and allowing it to be suppressed. This came at the cost of a remarkably heavy trigger pull, requiring about 20 pounds in double action.
Smith & Wesson Model 10 HB
In episode 8 FBI agents opposite Offerman's bodyguards wield the heavy-barreled version of the Smith & Wesson Model 10. Later, both Murray and Mindy use one in scenes that cannot be screenshotted without spoiling story elements.
Smith & Wesson Model 66
Special Agent Millie Morris (Rebekka Hinton) carries a snubnosed Smith & Wesson Model 66.
Shotguns
Ithaca 37
In episode 6, Travis Leich (Greg Austin) rampages with an Ithaca 37 with rifle sights and an extended magazine tube.
Sawed-off shotgun
In episode 3, Roxy (Tiffany Boone) poses with a sawed-off shotgun in her intro card. Like almost all instances of double-barreled shotguns in media, it is unidentifiable.
Submachine guns
Micro Uzi
The Micro Uzi is used by a number of Offerman’s unnamed bodyguards, as well as Tobias (Jonno Davies). Whether or not the neo-nazis resorting to cutting-edge Israeli military gear that wouldn’t be available to anyone outside of the IDF was intentional irony or a simple oversight is not totally clear.
Uzi
In one particular scene, Offerman’s bodyguards can be seen sporting the full-sized Uzi with stocks collapsed.
Rifles
AK-47
In episode 10 Roxy talks to Joe while manipulating an AK-47. It can be identified as such (meaning an original AK-47, and not the more common AKM) by its visible “lightning cut”, indicating a milled receiver, clearly seen when she holds the rifle on its side. In another shot, its pistol grip and stock can be seen, confirming it to be a Type II.
Karabiner 98k
The Karabiner 98k is a mainstay of flashbacks, seen quite often in the hands of Nazi soldiers in the ghetto arresting people, and occasionally in the hands of Auschwitz guards.
M16 rifle
In episode 2, Meyer Offerman has an M16 rifle in the armory in his house. In the intro card for Joe in episode 3, soldiers can be seen carrying them. In both cases, they are too blurred for the upper receiver to be seen clearly, so it can’t be discerned between an M16 with a “slickside” upper (no forward assist) or M16A1 with its standard A1 upper (with forward assist).
Remington Model 700
In episode 2, Meyer’s armory also contains a scoped Remington Model 700.
Steyr AUG A1
In episode 2, Mindy holds a Steyr AUG A1 in her and her husband Murray’s intro card. The AUG A1 was adopted for military use (in Austria) in 1977. It wasn’t sold in the U.S. until civilian models hit the market in the early 1980s. Technically, she could have purchased it off of someone who stole it from Steyr’s factory, but more likely than not, this was an oversight on an anachronistic weapon.
Machine guns
M60
Also in Joe’s intro card, a soldier is seen carrying the M60 machine gun.
Other
Weapon Collection
While suiting up for a mission in episode 10, we see Offerman's armory, plus a large collection of additional weapons. They are:
1. An M60
2. An RPG-7
3. An unloaded M1 Carbine
4. An unloaded M14
5. Four M16s
6. An M1911A1
7. Two Smith & Wesson 76 submachine guns (on either side of the number)
8. A 5.56 Valmet M95 that has been refitted with the older folding stock of the Valmet M76F
9. An Olympic Arms K23B (to the right of the number). It appears to be standing in for a more appropriate carbine like an XM177. They craftily gave it the original CAR-15 collapsible stock and A1 upper, but the K23B's unique barrel length and handguard is still quite visible.
10. A later L1A1 SLR with black fiberglass furniture (just below the number). It can be identified as such (and not an original FN FAL) by its unique carryhandle.
Mk 2 Hand Grenade
In episode 10, a pair of visibly fake plastic Mk 2 Hand Grenades are seen.
