Guns is a two-part miniseries about the illegal weapons trade and its effects in Toronto, Canada. Directed by Sudz Sutherland, the miniseries aired on CBC Television in the summer of 2008.
The following weapons were used in the miniseries Guns:
Error creating thumbnail: File missing WARNING! THIS PAGE CONTAINS SPOILERS!
Handguns
Glock 17
Detectives Rick Merriweather (Shawn Doyle) and Ford Saunders (Lyriq Bent) of the Weapons Enforcement Unit, as well as other officers of the Toronto Police Service, use Glock 17s as their sidearms. A drug dealer that Conrod Shannon (Clé Bennett) shoots in an apartment stairwell also carries a Glock 17.
Ruger KP90
After a shootout on a busy downtown street results in the death of bystander Jessica Farrell (an incident based on the 2005 Boxing Day shooting), Reggie (Richard Chevolleau) attempts to flee the scene with a Ruger KP90 before being caught by Saunders.
Webley Revolver
Businessman Paul Duguid (Colm Feore) is shown practicing at a shooting range with a Webley Mk VI revolver. He later gives the revolver to the head of the Police Oversight Committee, Don Stafford (Jim Mezon) as a gift, calling it a "political contribution". A political controversy later erupts when Duguid is investigated for arms trafficking, reminiscient of a real-life case where the chairman of the Toronto Police Services Board resigned over the controversy surrounding the gift of a pistol from Para Ordinance Inc.
SIG-Sauer P220 Sport
Sinclair Patterson (Barry Flatman) shows off a SIG P220 Sport when he meets Duguid (Colm Feore) and Stafford at the shooting range, calling it a "custom job". The pistol is later recovered from the apartment of Baby Dee (Dwain Murphy), linking him to the theft of Patterson's large gun collection.
Glock 19
In the first part of the miniseries, Conrod Shannon (Clé Bennett) pulls a Glock 19 from the glove compartment of Derek Wilmot's (K.C. Collins) car and inspects it. Detective Ford Saunders is also shown with a Glock 19 during the opening scene.
Beretta 92FS Inox
Conrod uses a Beretta 92FS Inox throughout the miniseries, with the exception of one scene where he carries a USP Compact instead. Inox pistols are also handled by other characters, including Duguid's business partner John Willison (Alan Van Sprang) and by Merriweather when he visits a gun show in Ohio.
Beretta 92FS Inox "Non-Gun"
Conrod's Beretta 92FS Inox becomes a "Non Gun" when he shoots a drug dealer in an apartment stairwell, likely because the close proximity between the actors makes a Non Gun safer to use.
Beretta 92FS
A standard Beretta 92FS is inspected by Ford when he poses as a buyer in an undercover operation. The 92FS is later seen among the assortment of weapons on sale at a gun show.
M1911 pistol
A M1911 pistol is used by Kirby (Shane Smith), who hides it in his girlfriend's backpack following a shooting at his school. When the pistol is later discovered during a search, it is linked back to the Jessica Farrell shooting and Kirby's brother Baby Dee. Various chromed and M1911 models are also seen among the weapons being sold at a gun show and seized following police raids.
SIG-Sauer P226
Baby Dee uses a SIG-Sauer P226 when he helps Conrod and Bobby Duguid (Gregory Smith) break into Sinclair Patterson's home. P226s are also among the weapons on sale at the Dayton gun show.
Smith & Wesson Model 36
Patterson attempts to draw a Smith & Wesson Model 36 from his gun safe when his home is robbed, but is shot by Bobby before he can fire.
Walther P99
A Walther P99 with a two tone finish is used by Bobby (Gregory Smith) to shoot Patterson when he attempts to fight back. The P99 is later planted on Bobby's accomplice T-Bear (Balford Gordon) by Conrod in order to conceal Bobby's involvement with the robbery.
Walther PPK
A stainless Walther PPK is among the weapons seized by the OPP after they stop Frances Dett's (Elisha Cuthbert's) car.
Heckler & Koch USP Compact
When Conrod visits Baby Dee's apartment, he racks the slide of a Heckler & Koch USP Compact with a two-tone finish.
Mauser C96
A customer at a gun show in Dayton, Ohio is shown inspecting a Mauser C96.
Smith & Wesson Model 19
A Smith & Wesson Model 19 is bought by a straw purchaser at the gun show.
Tokarev TT-33
A Tokarev TT-33 can be seen among the pistols that illegal arms dealer Boston (Daniel Kash) offers for sale.
Shotguns
Benelli M3 Super 90
A Benelli M3 Super 90 shotgun is among the weapons that the thieves take from Sinclair Patterson's gun safe.
Submachine Guns
MAC-10
While posing as a weapons buyer, Merriweather (Shawn Doyle) is offered a MAC-10 by Boston, who claims that it was a "semi-auto" converted to full automatic.
Collection of Submachine Guns
A number of submachine guns are shown for sale at the Dayton gun show, including an Uzi, a L2A3 Sterling, a Sa. Vz.61 Skorpion, and a MP5K.
