At the film's beginning, a Confederate patrol transporting gold during the time of the Civil War is ambushed by the Stranger armed with very strange looking and angular assault pistols.  At the time of the film's production, such weapons were unable to be imported into the U.S. as a result of the Assault Weapon Ban of 1994. The film was made in Vancouver, Canada, thus these custom firearms subsequently appear in film and television series produced in the same region, including the film ''[[Rumble in the Bronx]]'' and series such as ''[[The X-Files - Season 1|The X-Files]]'', ''[[Smallville]]'' and ''[[Stargate: Atlantis]]''. These weapons are of an unknown variant.

These custom-built weapons have been featured in several films and TV shows produced in British Columbia; '''''Timecop''''' is notable as the first appearance of these weapons in a feature film.

Custom Weapons

"The Timecop Beretta" (modified Taurus PT99AF)

The "Timecop Beretta" is the featured weapon used by several characters in the film including Max Walker (Jean-Claude Van Damme), Sarah Fielding (Gloria Reuben) and Aaron McComb (Ron Silver). In reality, the Timecop handgun is a Taurus PT99AF housed in a custom futuristic shell. Most of the handguns are fitted with a laser sight and are painted black, but the one used by McComb is a different color. The prop would later be used in the TV series Stargate: Atlantis.

The "Timecop Beretta". Most likely this is a resin "stunt" prop used for Stargate: Atlantis, due to the rounded trigger guard as opposed to the ones used in the film.

Timecop Personal Defense Weapon with racking foregrip (modified Desert Eagle)

This gun is used by Lyle Atwood (Jason Schombing) as a personal defense weapon when Walker goes back to the 1920's to arrest him. This science fiction Short barreled rifle (SBR) is in reality a modified .44 Magnum Desert Eagle Pistol, but with a larger futuristic shell. At the beginning of the scene, the weapon is represented as some sort of shotgun, with a 'rack' and then it fires large single shots which obliterate furniture, however, by the end of the scene, the weapon is depicted to be a pistol with a racking foregrip. Like the Timecop Beretta, this gun was used on Stargate: Atlantis. The show's armorer, Rob Fournier, specifically said in an interview that it's a .44 Magnum Desert Eagle, and he also mentioned that the gun was originally built for this movie even though it's been re-used on the Stargate shows. -MT2008 The weapons were made by Dlask Arms Corp.

Rifles

Custom M16A1

The rifles used by TEC guards when fired appear to be M16A1's with free floating barrels (and cylindrical shrouds) along with a Bell & Carlson Thumbhole stock.

M16A1 with A2 style handguards - 5.56x45mm. Putting the distinctive A2 handguards on the older rifle was a method used by Movie/TV armorers to simulate A2 rifles when M16A1s were the only ones available. The same thing has been done vice-versa, Using M16A2's with A1 handguards for Vietnam War B Movies.
