Exactly, it's incredibly easy to swap out a trigger on these guns, and there are millions of afteramrket triggers available. It's an A1. --[[User:James3|James3]] 14:01, 12 April 2011 (CDT)

I think that whoever said a KP90 is used in the Pilot episode, while a KP89 is used in the second episode, is mistaken.

It would make a lot more sense (given economics) that only one Ruger pistol was brought to the set and used by both [[James Russo]] and [[Gonzalo Menendez]] in the first two episodes.

When placing screenshots in the page, please use the proper formatting. --Ben41 05:09, 29 June 2010 (UTC)

Links are just as well and for some reason adding pictures doesn't work for me.

24guns,

Take a look at the page now and see how I put your images on the page. Also before uploading, change your file names into something easier to work with. Instead of having "Screen shot 2010-06-28 at 12.16.31 PM.", use "DB-M4A1-1". DB for Dark Blue, M4A1 for the weapon and 1 for the image # --Predator20 16:23, 29 June 2010 (UTC)

The page

The page is a mess, I'll try to clean and sort it out as I post screencaps and progress through the series... --Warejaws 21:22, 27 February 2011 (UTC)

removed from main page (considering the Glock screenshots)

That last screenshot looks more like a SIG than a Glock to me. --cool-breeze 14:54, 28 February 2011 (UTC)

Astra Terminator or Taurus?

The gun pictured seems to have fixed sights, while the Terminator was only produced with adjustable sights. It looks more like a Taurus (model 431, probably)

KP89 or KP90?

I think that whoever said a KP90 is used in the Pilot episode, while a KP89 is used in the second episode, is mistaken. Why would the armorer bring two different but (almost) visually identical guns in different calibers to the set? It would make a lot more sense (given economics) that only one Ruger pistol was brought to the set and used by both James Russo and Gonzalo Menendez in the first two episodes. And I'm guessing it's probably a KP89 since we all know that 9mm pistols are the norm in Hollywood. -MT2008 19:43, 23 March 2011 (CDT)

Dark Blue (2009 - 2010)

Whats the point?

In having a flat top M4 section and a regular M4 section? They are the same guns
