| == Beretta Cheetah or SIG-Sauer? (updated 8/10/10) ==
| |
| I've added some pics and it looks more like a SIG. Mack also mentions in the episode that she's carrying a .45 instead of 9mm. --[[User:Ben41|Ben41]] 04:46, 5 August 2010 (UTC)

| |
| Look at the last pic. Thats a SIG for sure. Looks like Jack Bauers SIG from the first few seasons of 24.
| |
|
| |
| What does this look like? Cause someone say it's a Cheetah. Cause it looks like a USP [[User:Excalibur01|Excalibur01]]
| |
| :Looks like a Beretta Cheetah in the cap and looked like one last time I watched the episode (which wasn't that long ago). It's too round and curvy to be a USP, which is square and blocky. [[User:Spartan198|Spartan198]] 16:52, 12 March 2010 (UTC)

|
| |
| :Then we have a continuity error in the dialogue. In the same episode where she used this gun, Mack asked why is she using a .45 than a 9? [[User:Excalibur01|Excalibur01]] 18:14, 12 March 2010 (UTC)
| |
| ::Either that or it's implying her back-up is a larger caliber than her primary (a choice which doesn't make sense to me, either). Maybe just a script error or a moment of miscommunication between the armorer and director/writer/etc.? Heck, maybe the director just ''liked the Cheetah more''? Who knows really. [[User:Spartan198|Spartan198]] 00:26, 13 March 2010 (UTC)

| |
| Her back up is a Derringer gun. [[User:Excalibur01|Excalibur01]]
| |
|
| |
| :Oh yeah, now I remember. This scene is one of the more ridiculous ones in the show. Basically, Redcap empties her Cheetah into the soldier's body armor, kicks away his M4 but ignores the fact that the guy has a sidearm, drops the empty magazine from her gun with the guy staring straight up at her, then gets on the radio without reloading her gun first. I literally screamed "you idiot" at the TV. [[User:Spartan198|Spartan198]] 16:23, 13 March 2010 (UTC)
| |
|
| |
| :It was obviously on purpose for the script so she can bust out her back up. And about that episode, the rest of the unit had encountered at least 2 enemies with M4s and extra ammo, yet it never shows them picking up enemy weapons. They were running out during that last stand. That one bad guy's M4 would have been very useful right about then. [[User:Excalibur01|Excalibur01]]

| Look at the last pic. Thats a SIG for sure. Looks like Jack Bauers SIG from the first few seasons of 24.

|
| |
| :Yeah, now that you mention it, it ''does'' look like a SIG. P245 maybe by the squared trigger guard? [[User:Spartan198|Spartan198]] 10:06, 5 August 2010 (UTC)
| |
|
| |
| Here's a few more screencaps. I'm still not sure what it is, but it's definitely a SIG, either a P229 or P239.

| So which SIG shoots a .45? Besides the P220 [[User:Excalibur01|Excalibur01]] 22:13, 10 August 2010 (UTC)
| |
|
| |
| Neither the P229 or P239 do. I imagine the line about the .45 is just an error on the scriptwriter's part. Taking another look at the screencaps, I think it's a P229. Note that there are two grip screws, where the P239 only has one. In addition, the empty magazine looks to be a double-stack (the P239 is single-stack).--[[User:Lynx|Lynx]] 23:33, 10 August 2010 (UTC)
| |
|
| |
| :I agree with Lynx. It's a two-tone P229. Also, NEVER go by what the script says, because that's a bad way to tell. The screenwriter may have written in ".45", but the armorer may have brought a 9mm 229 to the set. -[[User:MT2008|MT2008]] 23:45, 10 August 2010 (UTC)

| ::Regarding her "busting out her back-up", it may very well have been in the script and intentional, but it's still a ridiculous scene in the way it played out. The script writers could just as easily have wrote in the soldier besting (e.g., cracking her in the face with the stock of his M4 or something) and disarming her, then as she's on the ground and vulnerable, said soldier could advance on her with intent to kill and let his guard down (as all TV bad guys do when up against a female protagonist), only for her to raise up her leg, pull out the back-up, and put a round through his eyeball. I mean, could you conceivably see this scene working if Mack or Jonas were in Bridget's place? [[User:Spartan198|Spartan198]] 04:09, 15 November 2010 (UTC)

| Does anyone find it odd how in Part-2 Mack and Grey didnt actually kill the Gunners. they like scared them off. they could have then went and not only confirmed their lack of an escape. but also confirm their Nationality? [[User:Dirtdiver 6421|Dirtdiver 6421]] 00:30, 7 August 2010 (UTC)
| |
|
| |
| But how would the gunners know their nationality?
| |
|
| |
| I thought they did kill the gunner with the RPD and then took off, then waiting for the rest to give chase so that Jonas could go Rambo on them. [[User:Excalibur01|Excalibur01]] 03:00, 7 August 2010 (UTC)
| |
| :That was at the end of part 1. Dirtdiver is talking about part 2 when Alpha Team is barricaded in the basement of the psychiatric hospital. He means the Syrian gunners below.

| [[Image:UnitHMG.jpg|thumb|none|500px|Syrian forces set up the DshK in Season 4's "Into Hell, Part II" (Mack refers to it as a "big gun".]] [[User:Spartan198|Spartan198]] 10:21, 7 August 2010 (UTC)
| |
|
| |
| Correct. and to the un-named question about their nationality think about it. their white (no racism intended), their wearing expensive body armor (who else). and they have heavily customized M4A1s. who else uses the M4A1? SAS maybe. besides didnt he yell out "big Gun" that would be in english. who speaks english??? [[User:Dirtdiver 6421|Dirtdiver 6421]] 19:32, 7 August 2010 (UTC)

| There's no guarantee they heard Mack, he was facing away from them, there was only a small opening in the door for sound to pass through, and maybe 30 feet of distance. And M4's are used by countries all over the world, 5 of which actually surround Syria. As far as the body armour bit goes, none of them are wearing any type of armour, just Blackhawk load bearing vests. $190US wouldn't be to much for most SF units. And about 500 million, to 1.8 billion people speak English. ''';)''' Film and television often require what is called a ''suspension of disbelief'', The Unit is no exception. The best option is just to go with it. --[[User:Crazycrankle|Crazycrankle]] 22:30, 7 August 2010 (UTC)

| You answered for me. A great example of identity in an international incident would be in MW2 in the No Russian mission. Just because you see a bunch of white guys with M4s, M240s and speaking in English, you cry out "Americans". Of course that plot was stupid and I'll talk about it somewhere else, but the point is clear. In part 2 of Into Hell, they could have been anyone. The locals might have heard or saw something and maybe even recovered Jonas's M4 he left behind and the body of a couple American soldiers captured, but those are dead guys and they can say terrorists kidnapped them and brought them here, but they didn't capture anyone of the Unit alive so it doesn't matter if they spoke and even if they saw faces, nothing can really be proven because they are black ops and if the US government is questioned, they'd say they have no idea who they are talking about.

| None of which explains the 50+ people locked up in the mosque. it was quite obvious they were american. as they not only spoke english, but they also asked were the americans were held. and i guess i know what you mean about the Vests. but still BlackHawk is still an American Company. M4A1s are STILL used by US-SOF. i guess however they werent wearing any American flags so thats one thing. i will admit that just like in Johnny B. Goode they left little to no trace. on that topic couldnt the slug in the translators head be led back to America? [[User:Dirtdiver 6421|Dirtdiver 6421]] 23:48, 7 August 2010 (UTC)

| They didn't shoot any translators in the head. Not to mention, any of the many countries the US sells M4's to likely receive ammunition to go with it. And it's not just Americans who rescue Americans. Israel, Jordan and Iraq are friends of the US, and they share borders with Syria. They could have done it, or it could have been Canada, Britain, or any number of countries. Not just friends either, enemies could use it to create more tension between mid-east countries and the US. Iran has plenty of white people, there has to be at least 5 who speak fluent English with an American accent. Same with North Korea. Neither of which would have issue killing a few people to cause the US more trouble. --[[User:Crazycrankle|Crazycrankle]] 01:12, 8 August 2010 (UTC)

| :With a GI 1911, to boot. How common would .45 caliber be in that region? And FYI, SAS use the C8SFW, not the M4. [[User:Spartan198|Spartan198]] 12:19, 8 August 2010 (UTC)
| |
| ::It's the same weapon and fires the same ammo, it's just called a different name. Like how the Canadians also use M4s and M16s, but it is called a different name and look just a BIT different. But as I said before, using the same guns, ammo and look the same doesn't matter to the special forces community because anyone who wants to, can get a hold of it. Do you know how many GIs must have died during WWII? Someone could have lost their 1911 on their way to Germany and it would have wounded up in Africa somehow. And how many common people know guns? The Iran police questions the people in the mosque about their weapons and most likely, they'd say "they got guns". You'd ask a common man in the US about what guns our troops use and they most likely don't know. In an international incident, eye witnesses can only prove so much. [[User:Excalibur01|Excalibur01]] 15:04, 8 August 2010 (UTC)
| |
|
| |
| i guess. but even if they didnt no the name the police who probably no little more weaponry than them. would likely ask. is it like an AK (which is the gun EVERYONE has.) or the kind americans use. and in Johnny B. Goode im not talking about the gun. but the ammunition itself. being Special Ops their likely to have high standard Ammunition. American made ammunition. Something any forensic team would have the brains to look at. [[User:Dirtdiver 6421|Dirtdiver 6421]] 19:47, 8 August 2010 (UTC)

| Does anyone no if the weapon being used by Col. Tom Ryan in "Into Hell" is a Colt M933 or a HK416 it appears to be the same make as in Five Brother/Play 16 minus the vertical grip. [[User:Dirtdiver 6421|Dirtdiver 6421]] 15:55, 29 August 2010 (UTC)

| I'm very sure it was a 10" HK416. Can't confirm it though, needed the hard drive space. --[[User:Crazycrankle|Crazycrankle]] 16:47, 29 August 2010 (UTC)

|
| |
| It's a 416. Watch the special features on the DVDs and you'll get a better view of it.--[[User:Lynx|Lynx]] 21:34, 29 August 2010 (UTC)

|
| |
| Thanks much guys. i actually was just watching the video off of I-tunes and noticed it looked more like a 416 the 2nd time i watched it. why is it so rare that Movies/ Tv always uses the CQC variant of it? do you think its because with the 14.5 barrel it looks the same as an M4 to the average person? [[User:Dirtdiver 6421|Dirtdiver 6421]] 22:23, 29 August 2010 (UTC)
| |
|
| |
| Maybe it's because the 416 isn't widely available to armorers of movies and TV. It's awesome to have the 416 features in The Unit but they stopped using them in season 4, which is a shame since [[User:Excalibur01|Excalibur01]] 02:42, 30 August 2010 (UTC)

| im sure knowone knows the answer but does Delta Force in real life use the M203 still or do they use the HK321? [[User:Dirtdiver 6421|Dirtdiver 6421]] 23:10, 1 September 2010 (UTC)
| |
| :Your guess as to what the ''actual'' Unit uses is as good as any of ours. The only ''known'' "Delta" weapons are ones they've been seen using in past operations (e.g., Randy Shughart's M14). [[User:Spartan198|Spartan198]] 04:20, 15 November 2010 (UTC)
| |
| Agreed. i would suggest watching Tactical Arms of Tactical Impact. very good shows and the 3 hosts are Ex-Special Ops. Larry Vickers is a famous member of Delta Force who is a founder of Nighthawk Custom, Kyle Defoor is was a Navy SEAL and Jason Falla was an Austrain SAS Operative.

| |
| The gun above must be a tokarev tt-33. Most probably the chinese copy Norinco Type 54 / Model 213. I base this off the fact that there are no soviet ones in chrome/stainless. Or possibly the Zastava M57 witch can be obtained in dualtone with silver slide.

|
| |
| Also, does anyone know what type of rifle this is? It was seen in "The Wall", and it appeared to be an automatic weapon.

| |
|
| |
| I think the first is from the end of "The Conduit". The second is from Season 2's "Extreme Rendition". The third and forth pictures almost look like a Hi Point carbine (converted to full auto, or perhaps the sound editor simply used the sound effects of a full auto weapon), while the last picture looks like it might be the Colt Compact M1991A1 that Kim uses.--[[User:Lynx|Lynx]] 12:17, 23 August 2010 (UTC)

| |
| I would have to say your right in the first 2. Mack uses the Walther in the Conduit that was before he suppressed it. the 2nd was from Extreme Rendition when the EX-operator "escaped" Hector planted the bag there with the handgun in there. im not sure about the 3rd picture but im positive the 4th is from the episode "the Wall" i believe it might be Bob's sidearm as Mack had the walther.

| While Mack did use the Walther in "The Conduit", this particular screenshot is not from "The Conduit" because the episode aired ''after'' this shot was uploaded. Any other guesses?

| I've seen every single episode from the Unit, minus Paradise Lost. id like to think id remember when he used that weapon as every other episode he uses the Colt 1911 and a Glock (in Security). he used the Walther in Conduit and the Wall. is it possible it happened in Paradise Lost?

| The screenschot was uploaded the same day "Sudden Flight" (S4E2) aired. Can anyone check the first two episodes of Season 4 to see if it's from one of them?

| This image is at the end of The Conduit this is the episode where Mack goes undercover in the fight club. it is a walther ppk that he removes/puts on the suppressor after killing some dude.

| They use the same optic (with the lens now attached) on the SG 552s in "The Wall", so I imagine the one used in this episode was damaged at some point before/during filming.--[[User:Lynx|Lynx]] 00:46, 2 October 2010 (UTC)
| |
|
| |
| Maybe it fell off :P I'm with Lynx I think the lens was probably damaged at some point and it was transported attached to the gun so they couldn't get a replacement lens and the iron sight was already removed so they just used it without the lens. --[[User:Cool-breeze|cool-breeze]] 16:27, 22 November 2010 (UTC)

| ==Jonas' pistol in the pilot==
| |
|
| |
| On the main page you have screen caps identifying the pistol that Jonas has in the pilot as a Kimber. It isn't. It doesn't have the front slide serrations. It looks more like a customised 1911 of some sort. After the pilot he started using a Kimber but in the pilot he doesn't. I'll try get a screen cap of a good look at the pistol at the end of the episode that shows the lack of front serrations on the slide.
| |
|
| |
| Pretty sure its a Kimber. From the pics on the main page the rear sights are the same, the trigger guard is the same and the grips are the same. Jonas has always carried a Kimber as his sidearm. Get a screen cap but from what I can tell its definately a Kimber.
| |
|
| |
| Here's a couple of screen caps. In both of them you can see that the slide serrations on the back are completely straight, not the slanted ones of the Kimber and in the second picture you can see that there are no front slide serrations which indicate that it isn't a Kimber as all Kimber Custom IIs including the TLE II and the Kimber Warrior that Jonas uses throughout the series do. --[[User:Cool-breeze|cool-breeze]] 10:57, 19 November 2010 (UTC)

| Edited. Looks like you're right about the cocking serrations. I'm no good at ID'ing 1911 variants but I think it might be either a Colt or Springfield model.--[[User:Lynx|Lynx]] 16:01, 19 November 2010 (UTC)
| |
|
| |
| I think you're right about Springfield. In the picture where he is reloading if you look closely towards the cocking serrations it looks like the Springfield logo is on the slide. I can't tell though as it isn't clear enough. --[[User:Cool-breeze|cool-breeze]] 16:18, 19 November 2010 (UTC)
