The article mentions that certain guns on this show are replicas and others use CGI muzzle flashes. This begs the question are any of the weapons on this program actual, blank-adapted guns.
- It is obvious that many of the guns are REAL. For one, no one makes a really good replica of the 5906 (at least THAT variant of it) and it looks too good to be a replica gun. Also the revolver that DeVito uses is obviously real in some shots. There is a look to a real gun that distinguishes it from a replica (especially any of the blued weapons). Anodyzed or parkerized guns are easier to replicate in 'fake guns' but the deep blued finish of a real firearm is hard to do unless you actually blue steel, which no one would do with a replica. They are usually made of aluminum, pot metal or plastic. MoviePropMaster2008 15:37, 3 June 2010 (UTC)

Season 12 Weapons
Looks like there are a few new weapons this season, most notably in S12E04 which shows a news report of Boko Haram insurgents with various weapons - several AKMSUs, an AKMS, a PK/PKM, and a Browning M2HB mounted on a technical. --Sergeant Simpleton (talk) 23:40, 26 January 2017 (EST)
