I confess that I have never read the books so I can't comment on what these where supposed to be in the books. In the show the Black Kings are described to be something special. From the little they have been seen so far they look like a complete custom rifle. Based on the scenes that Bob Lee is shown actually firing them I can tell you that the bolt action is turn bolt so it eliminates the Blaser line of rifles which is what I originally thought them to be based. I have some screen shots that seem to be the best shots of them so far. I am leaning to them being a complete Hollywood composite of an actual bolt action rifle.--[[User:Ram229|Ram229]] ([[User talk:Ram229|talk]]) 19:40, 4 January 2017 (EST) | I confess that I have never read the books so I can't comment on what these where supposed to be in the books.

I've actually found out what the rifles are. Apparently it's a D&L MR-30 PG, and that company has confirmed it's their rifle. But why would these be considered the only rifles powerful enough to fire that kind of bullet? --[[User:Sasquatch the Reaper|Sasquatch the Reaper]] ([[User talk:Sasquatch the Reaper|talk]]) 22:24, 4 January 2017 (EST) | |||

Swagger's Rifle
Please help ID this rifle. Maybe an Accuracy International? But the stock says "Saber SVL-A2". --Ben41 (talk) 11:46, 17 November 2016 (EST)
- Ha, I tried to ID that a while ago. The scope is made by Schmidt and Bender, but I couldn't find a scope that was 100% correct. The rifle uses the "SABER®-FORSST® Modular Rifle Chassis" by Ashbury Precision Ordnance. I tried to ID the parts they used, but the naming system is very confusing. They also make airsoft versions, but that doesn't seem to be what they used.--Quarax (talk) 12:08, 17 November 2016 (EST)
- It had a fairly short barrel, so ASW308? I know Swagger referred to it as a .338, but it wouldn't be the first time the script and props didn't match. Spartan198 (talk) 05:43, 18 November 2016 (EST)
- It is the MOD-1 version of the Saber-Forsst chassis. I believe that the "SVL-A2" is a model number for the chassis for a particular rifle, in this case a Savage 110. See here for the page for the Savage chassis on the Ashbury site. --commando552 (talk) 18:16, 18 November 2016 (EST)
Identifying Swagger's Arsenal
On the far left, partially cutoff by the screen, is what could possibly be a K98. I initially thought 1903, but it lacks the distinctive "hump" in front of the rear sight. Next to Swagger, from top down, is a Dragunov, an M14 or M1A in a precision stock, a McMillan CS5, and an AR-15 I can't ID. On the right, again from top down, looks like a bolt-action AR-15 of some kind, an M40A3, an AW-type rifle, and a Remington 700PSS. Spartan198 (talk) 18:55, 18 November 2016 (EST)
- The "bolt-action AR-15 of some kind" is a Robar SR21. Based on the magazine length the AW type rifle isn't an AI one, but instead something in an AICS 2.0 stock, probably a Rem 700. The McMillan CS5 is actually an EDM Arms Windrunner. --commando552 (talk) 19:49, 18 November 2016 (EST)
Jack Payne's Glock
Is his Glock possibly a Glock 34? The slide extends past the front of the slide, so it isn't a Glock 17. --commando552 (talk) 19:56, 18 November 2016 (EST)
- Could be a Glock 17L--BlackHawk510 (talk) 20:02, 18 November 2016 (EST)
- I'd say it's a G34 - A 17L is actually slightly longer still. Also, seems 34s are generally seen with 3rd Gen rails and styling, while 17Ls aren't. StanTheMan (talk) 02:08, 19 November 2016 (EST)
The Black Kings
I know what they were in the original book, but what exactly is the story behind them in this case? And what kind of rifle are they? --Sasquatch the Reaper (talk) 18:39, 27 December 2016 (EST)

M203 in picture
I'm pretty sure it's a CM203. At full res, you can see the faint shape of a cocking handle on the receiver and the square trigger guard. Spartan198 (talk) 19:16, 27 December 2016 (EST)
Beretta Cougar
Unless I'm looking at the wrong part of the screenshot, I'm certain that the pistol shown is just another 92FS. --One shot is all it takes. (talk) 01:03, 4 January 2017 (EST)
