Stargate Atlantis is the spin-off to SG-1. The following page is the REAL world weapons used. Just weapons that are or dressed up guns, not alien props.
A video about the Weapons of Atlantis
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZIR_UCp6fPo
FN P90
This is the standard sub-machine gun of the Atlantis expedition and is carried by most Marines and armed scientists. It wouldn't be a Stargate show without this extremely overused weapon. You'd think for a spin off they'd switched guns like in Star Trek.
Beretta M9
The standard sidearm widely issued to both the military and civilian personal on Atlantis.
Custom 1911 Pistol
From season 2 and on Sheppard is seen carrying one of these over the standard-issue Berettas. On closer look, it appears to be more like one of the 1911s made by Kimber, like the Kimber custom II or it could even be a Springfield. Judging by the width of the grip, it is more likely a single stack 1911 variant, such as a Wilson Combat or MEU variant. The first season he used the Beretta M9 seen on Atlantis team members.
In an alternate reality, John Shepard used a stainless steel 1911 with pearl grips.
Armsel Protecta
Seen in the hands of the Genii and also a Setadan weapon. Ronon used it in the episode "Seteda".
Daewoo K3 (mocked up as M249)
Contrary to popular belief, there are no real FN Minimi or M249 light machine guns used in Stargate: Atlantis or its sister show, Stargate: SG1. The light machine guns used by the Atlantis expedition are actually Korean-made Daewoo K3s that have been fitted with M249 Paratrooper-style stocks and shortened barrels, as well as RIS rails and vertical grips similar to those seen on the Mk 46 Mod 0. These weapons were used most notably in the Season 2 episode "Duet" where several were used to shoot down a Wraith Dart.
- Evidence please.
M2 Browning .50 Caliber
Several of these can be seen mounted on pintle mounts being used as anti-aircraft weapons in the Season 1 episode The Siege: Part 2.
Colt M4A1
One of these, equiped with an Aimpont sight, is carried briefly by Sheppard in the episode Runner, and is also picked up by Doctor Carson Beckett in the same episode, but is never used.
GAU-5/A
The GAU-5/A was the USAF contract version of the XM177 "CAR-15" short assault rifle. The real life USAF Security forces used them until recently, however, most of the non firing GAU-5/As seen in both Stargate: SG1 and Stargate: Atlantis were simply XM177E2 "Airsoft guns". No real GAU-5/As were used. All firing guns were mocked up AR15 Heavy Barreled carbines that were cut down and a fake XM177 style flash hider was welded on, and assembled with a registered full auto lower receiver. The Real GAU-5/A carbine did not have a heavy barrel.
H&K G36K
Seen used by a few Marines, Major Lorne and notably in one episode by Teal'c and Ronon. Like Teal'c, we'd probably see Ronan with human guns more often, but with his infamous energy pistol blowing up walls, most likely not.
- If I remember correctly, in the episode where Ronon and Teal'c used the G36Ks, they randomly switch between G36K and G36KV (without the the 3.5x sight) during the episode.
Ronon's pistol
Ronon uses what looked like a heavily dressed up revolver. In the story it fires like a phaser, stun and kill with an extra option to blow a huge hole into things. Apparently in the story, the color of the gun changes according to whichever setting. A reddish orange for kill setting or "blow a nasty hole in the wall" setting and white for stun. There is also ammo for this weapon since in scenes where scenes of Ronon reloading his weapon and energy actually drained. In the episode Travelers, the space faring humans were shown with this pistol as their standard sidearm, hinting us that Ronon might have either stolen one and an unthinkable amount of ammo or given one as a present...with an untold amount of ammo. Shepard also pics up one later in that episode and throws it away when it runs out of energy.
(Refering to the picture above) If you notice, it's white glow so it's stun. Lucky for Teal'c. Maybe that's why he's so relaxed cause he won't be dead if he pissed Ronon off anymore. Then again, this is Teal'c, you think a cool looking gun like Ronon's going to scare the infamous Teal'c who went through 10 seasons against a guy who's only been around for 4.
This image shows on closer inspect, it is possible Ronon's gun might be a heavily dressed up Single Action Colt or Ruger
Genii pistol - Dressed up Taurus PT99AF aka The Timecop Beretta
In the episode showing the people known as the Genii uses pistols that looked like dressed up Taurus PT99AFs. These are the sidearms first mocked up for the Jean Claude Van Damme Movie Time Cop.
Winchester Model 1887 Lever Action Shotgun dressed up as a futuristic Gun
These, along with the Beretta M92SFs that have a huge sci-fi shroud on them, are guns from the movie TIMECOP, with Jean Claude Van Damme. This is a Winchester Model 1887 lever action shotgun with three fake shotgun barrels on them. It makes it seem like this is a one cock and fire several time, but it could be the trick of camera shots. This shotgun was seen used in the 2004 film Blade: Trinity and on the television show Eureka, used by Deputy Jo Lupo.
Dressed up double barrel shotgun
Another weapon that was also see in (Blade Trinity) a WWII flare gun converted to a shotgun.
AT-4
Like in the previous series, this rocket launcher was misused as an anti air launcher to take out a Wraith Dart. In the following shot, Major Lorne (Kavan Smith) doesn't bother to pop up the sights to fire, which is understandable. The M136 AT4 sights are notorious for being difficult to deploy when the plastic sliding sight covers 'stick', and in the stress of battle, they've been fired a lot just 'point and shoot'.
Smith & Wesson Schofield
Seen in the episode "Irresponsible"
Double barrel shotgun
Shotguns seen in other episodes
Dressed up Desert Eagle aka the Timecop Desert Eagle
Seen in the hands of the Genii all the time, but never any closeups of what this weapon really is. The video special on weapons of Atlantis reveals it's a heavily dressed up Desert Eagle. It was given a folding a vertical foregrip and sight on top. There is also a special cocking handle to cock the gun since the slide is buried within the dressing. According to the Armorer, Rob Fournier it fires .44 Magnums.
H&K MP7
Seen used by the NID agents in "Outcast".
USAS-12 Shotgun
Seen on Atlantis when Weir returned as a replicator. We seen a comeback to this gun in episode 10.
Benelli M3 Super 90
Seen with integrated lit fore grips in "Outcast"
Type 97(Or other similar assault rifle)
Seen in the episode "Ghost in the Machine" after/during the part where Dr. Weir walks through the Stargate. Seen in the hands of a enlisted security officer up on an Atlantis balcony. Is more than likely a Type 97 rifle
- I am sorry I meant type 97 not Type 96. The Chinese Assault Rifle. Actually the version seen in the show is the civilian export version the military model has a pistol grip design similar to the QBZ-95.
- Can you point out other episodes where we can actually see the front of this gun? I am only looking at a man's back and part of the front end and the carrying handle. Even zoom, I can't see much Excalibur01 20:12, 3 January 2009 (UTC)
- I think it may be another USAS-12. If you look there's no charging handle (or whatever that is) under the carrying handle. The Wierd It 21:43, 19 May 2009 (UTC)
QBZ-97B Carbine
In episode 19 of season 5, a Wraith that was on Earth, got ahold of a QBZ-97B carbine, a variant of the QBZ-95B modified to fire 5.56x45mm and accept STANAG magazines.
H&K MP5K
Seen in the hands of a Wraith in season 5, episode 19.
Mossberg 500
Used by Lt. Col. John Sheppard in the episode "Outcast"
