V.I.P. was a comedy action show by Sony Pictures Television that ran for four seasons on the UPN Network and was syndicated all over the United States. The show was intentionally campy and broad farce and captured the spirit of the 1990s with splashy colors and 'lightweight' villains (one of the last shows to elicit that "pre-9/11" feel). One thing the show had tons of was .... (no not girls in skimpy attire, which was the case) ... guns. And only on V.I.P. could Vallery's team have a full auto shoot out with bandits in the street and no vehicles or buildings are damaged. It was a low budgeted series and it showed, but the filmmakers kept up the light feel by not taking the show seriously at all.
The following guns were seen on the television show V.I.P.:
Season 1 - Episode 1 "Beats Working at a Hot Dog Stand" used by Colt Arrow (Bryan Cranston) and a Diamond Thief.
