'''''The Stand''''' is a 1994 American television miniseries based on the 1978 horror/post-apocalyptic novel by [[Stephen King]]. King wrote the teleplay and has a small role in the series. The miniseries originally aired on the American Broadcasting Company (ABC) over four nights (May 8, 1994 - May 12, 1994). Several years later, there were numerous attempts to bring the story to the big screen, but these were relegated to development hell due to the logistics of translating the epic story into a feature length movie. Finally, in November 2018, it was announced that CBS All Access would produce a [[Stand, The (2020 miniseries)|limited run series of ''The Stand'']]. The new version premiered for nine weekly episodes on streaming service CBS All Access from December 17, 2020 to February 11, 2021. | |||

The [[M1911A1]] is used by the U.S. military. The Utah Army National Guard assisted in filming. Like the [[M16A2]], (see Rifles), the [[Beretta 92]] had evidently not been issued yet to the unit that helped in the filming. It is my understanding that when actual military units participate in a movie they will use their own weapons or at least the National Guard units do - or did. This mini-series was filmed twenty years ago (February - July 1993). Very likely things have changed. I was in the Army Reserve and National Guard from 1986-1993 and I heard from a few fellow Guardsmen about their past experiences on television and movie productions as extras.I suppose it eases both the cost and the logistics for the production.I would imagine it would make the safety checks a bit more challenging though. | |||

It is unknown if the revolver is actually the Model 64 in .38 special or the Model 65 in .357 Magnum. Both loads use the same size bullet (.357 inch), so the size of the bore is not helpful. With no screencap showing the model number on the side of the barrel, I'm going to assume it's a Model 64. | ||

== M16A1 == | |||
The [[M16 rifle series#M16A1 Rifle|M16A1]] can be seen carried by several characters, mainly U.S. Army soldiers and by Stu Redman ([[Gary Sinise]]). The Utah Army National Guard assisted in the filming of the mini-series which would explain the older style M16s. In although the [[M16A2]] was standard issue for the US military in 1993 (when it was filmed), many of the National Guard units were still waiting for the [[M16A2]] to be issued to them. | |||

Crazy Julie Lawry ([[Shawnee Smith]]) uses a 760 to drive Nick Andros ([[Rob Lowe]]) and Tom Cullen ([[Bill Fagerbakke]]) out of town after Nick tells her that she isn't welcome to join them. The model she is using actually appears to be the older [[Remington 760/7600 Rifle#Remington Model 760|Remington 760]] going off the shape of the front action/grip. In addition, [[Shawnee Smith]] can be seen working the slide action which obviously can't be shown with screencaps. | |||

The other guard is played by [[Mike Lookinland]]. Lookinland is best known for playing Bobby Brady in the 1970s television series '''''The Brady Bunch'''''. He was also the second camera operator on the production's camera crew. | |||

It is used by Bobby Terry ([[Sam Raimi]]) to kill Judge Farris ([[Ossie Davis]]). There is one shot in the truck in which it appears that Bobby Terry ([[Sam Raimi]]) is carrying an older style "slimline" MP5. Possibly a continuity error. Evidently, it was very common in the the late eighties and early nineties for the civilian legal SP89 to be converted to full-auto and have the MP5K foregrip added on. | |||

The Stand is a 1994 American television miniseries based on the 1978 horror/post-apocalyptic novel by Stephen King. King wrote the teleplay and has a small role in the series. The miniseries originally aired on the American Broadcasting Company (ABC) over four nights (May 8, 1994 - May 12, 1994). Several years later, there were numerous attempts to bring the story to the big screen, but these were relegated to development hell due to the logistics of translating the epic story into a feature length movie. Finally, in November 2018, it was announced that CBS All Access would produce a limited run series of The Stand. The new version premiered for nine weekly episodes on streaming service CBS All Access from December 17, 2020 to February 11, 2021.
The following weapons were used in the television series The Stand:

Handguns
M1911A1
The M1911A1 is used by the U.S. military. The Utah Army National Guard assisted in filming. Like the M16A2, (see Rifles), the Beretta 92 had evidently not been issued yet to the unit that helped in the filming. It is my understanding that when actual military units participate in a movie they will use their own weapons or at least the National Guard units do - or did. This mini-series was filmed twenty years ago (February - July 1993). Very likely things have changed. I was in the Army Reserve and National Guard from 1986-1993 and I heard from a few fellow Guardsmen about their past experiences on television and movie productions as extras.I suppose it eases both the cost and the logistics for the production.I would imagine it would make the safety checks a bit more challenging though.
Desert Eagle MK I
The Desert Eagle Mark I is carried by Andrew "Poke" Freeman (Richard Lineback) during the botched robbery in Episode One.
Glock 19
When Stu Redman (Gary Sinise) escapes the Vermont Plague Center he takes a Glock 19 from the dead Dr. Dietz (Sherman Howard) who tried to kill him with it.

SIG-Sauer P228
The SIG-Sauer P228 is used by one of the Arizona state troopers during Lloyd Henreid's (Miguel Ferrer) botched robbery in Episode One. A P228 is also seen being used by Barry Dorgan (Chuck Adamson) during the climax of the mini-series in Part 4.

Smith & Wesson Model 64
Lloyd Henreid (Miguel Ferrer) shoots and kills Glen Bateman (Ray Walston) with a Smith & Wesson Model 64 that has a stainless steel 3" barrel. Notice that the sights are "fixed" and that the ejector rod is not protected by a lug like on the Model 66. It is unknown if the revolver is actually the Model 64 in .38 special or the Model 65 in .357 Magnum. Both loads use the same size bullet (.357 inch), so the size of the bore is not helpful. With no screencap showing the model number on the side of the barrel, I'm going to assume it's a Model 64.

Ruger Redhawk
A blued steel Ruger Redhawk is carried by Larry Underwood (Adam Storke) when he is in the Lincoln Tunnel.
Rifles
M16A1
The M16A1 can be seen carried by several characters, mainly U.S. Army soldiers and by Stu Redman (Gary Sinise). The Utah Army National Guard assisted in the filming of the mini-series which would explain the older style M16s. In although the M16A2 was standard issue for the US military in 1993 (when it was filmed), many of the National Guard units were still waiting for the M16A2 to be issued to them.
M16 rifle
One of Flagg's men, Rich Moffatt (Dan Martin), appears to be carrying an original M16. Note the three pronged flash suppressor and no forward bolt assist.
Remington Model 760
Crazy Julie Lawry (Shawnee Smith) uses a 760 to drive Nick Andros (Rob Lowe) and Tom Cullen (Bill Fagerbakke) out of town after Nick tells her that she isn't welcome to join them. The model she is using actually appears to be the older Remington 760 going off the shape of the front action/grip. In addition, Shawnee Smith can be seen working the slide action which obviously can't be shown with screencaps.
Unknown Hunting Rifles
Two Boulder Free Zone guards are seen armed with a pair of Scoped Bolt Action Hunting Rifles. One of the guards is Stephen King in a cameo. The other guard is played by Mike Lookinland. Lookinland is best known for playing Bobby Brady in the 1970s television series The Brady Bunch. He was also the second camera operator on the production's camera crew.

Submachine guns
Heckler & Koch HK 94
The Heckler & Koch HK 94 can be seen in the car used by Lloyd Henreid (Miguel Ferrer) and Poke (Richard Lineback) before the botched gas station robbery, but was not used. It is also seen in the crowd in Las Vegas near the end of Episode Four.

Heckler & Koch SP89
The Heckler & Koch SP89 can be seen carried by Flagg's man, Bobby Terry (Sam Raimi). It is used by Bobby Terry (Sam Raimi) to kill Judge Farris (Ossie Davis). There is one shot in the truck in which it appears that Bobby Terry (Sam Raimi) is carrying an older style "slimline" MP5. Possibly a continuity error. Evidently, it was very common in the the late eighties and early nineties for the civilian legal SP89 to be converted to full-auto and have the MP5K foregrip added on.

Unidentified Double Barrel Shotgun
Used by storekeeper during the botched robbery in Episode One. There is never a good shot of it, but it appears to be a Double Barreled "coach" shotgun.
