Revision as of 05:30, 16 January 2010
A science Fiction show in 1995, created by James Wong and Glen Morgan, concerning the adventures of the 'Wild Cards', a group of US Marines who must fight an alien threat to the human race. The pilot episode was filmed in Australia with locations in the Australian states of Queensland (e.g Warner Bros. Movie World Studios and the Bond University campus on the Gold Coast) and New South Wales (e.g. RAAF Williamstown air base for the USMC air base) being used for the production. After the pilot episode was made, production was relocated to California, USA for the remainder of the series.
The Following weapons were used in the show:
M590 Assault Rifle aka "Ruger Mini-14"
- The Primary weapon of the USMC in the future (mid/late 21st century) is the fictional M590 Assault Rifle. The real firearm was a Ruger Mini-14 hidden in a custom fabricated shell. In the show the Marines only fired the weapon semi Auto, so the rifles inside were most likely Mini-14s only, and not AC556s. This prop rifle would later be used again in The X-Files episode "First Person Shooter" as one of the many weapons available to gamers in the virtural reality game of the episode's name.
M70 Pistol aka "Glock 17L"
- The Primary Sidearm of the Space Marines was the Fictional M70 Pistol, which was in reality a Glock 17L with an extended threaded barrel with an AR15 birdcage flash hider attached, along with some other clever additions to mask the gun's identity. The first appearance was orange instead of OD Green with a light inside the flash hider, it was used as a training gun attached to a VR video game/training simulator used by Hawkes in episode 2.
Desert Eagle
- Lt. Colonel T.C. McQueen (James Morrison) is seen in several episodes carrying a Desert Eagle pistol (caliber unknown). It also appears to have been intended to be the original sidearm since Cooper Hawkes can be seen with a Desert Eagle handgun in the Pilot episode when he pointed it at the head of a captured Chig pilot, and one of the other Marines in the third episode was carrying one.
Heckler & Koch SR9T Sniper Rifle
- A Faux SR9 is used by Cooper Hawkes on a solo covert ops mission. The butt of the rifle gives away the fact its a "Faux" SR9.
Heckler & Koch MP5SD
- The Heckler & Koch MP5SD was used by the Marines in a night time covert ops mission. The MP5SD3 was also used by the Silicates on numerous occasions.
MAC-10
- The MAC-10 was used by Silicates at the mining facility (Season 1, Episode 9)
Steyr AUG
- The Steyr AUG was used by various characters throughout the series.
CZ75
- In Season 1, Episode 9: "Choice or Chance", Silicate pleasure model Feliciti OH, played by porn star Ashlyn Gere, uses a two tones CZ-75 pistol.
Heckler & Koch MP5K
- The Heckler & Koch MP5K was used by various characters.
Heckler & Koch MP5A3
- Seen in the Pilot episode in the hands of the Security personnel when they searched the Telus colony spacecraft before the launch.
Rocket Launcher
A rocket launcher, that vaguely resembles a M72 LAW, was seen in several episodes. It first appeared in episode 3 when a pissed Vansen shot down a Silicate ship that was trying to escape.
Chig Battle Axe/Rifle combo
- Fictional 'firearm' developed entirely from fibreglass and is not based on a live firearm - fired electronically initiated 9mm blank ammunition.
