The following guns are used in the television show Flashpoint
The hostage taker in the first episode shoots a woman in the back with a Luger P08 and holds another woman at gunpoint with it before being shot by Ed Lane's sniper rifle. The man's son also uses a Luger in the fourth episode of season 2 to hold Lane up before he is killed by Braddock.
Ed Lane uses his Glock to kill Mischa the Russian hostage taker in Episode 6 "The Fortress".
Error creating thumbnail: File missingEd shoots Mischa from behind his riot shield. Based on the muzzle diameter, this might be a .40 caliber Glock 22. Or it could be a trick of the close camera.Error creating thumbnail: File missingA cop's Glock 17 is bagged after it is used to shoot the gun-wielding student in Episode 11 "Perfect Storm".
Glock 26
Juliana's sidearm at the start of Season 2 is a Glock 26. This gun was likely chosen because Amy Jo Johnson's hands were too small to hold the full sized Glock 17 so the subcompact model was selected.
When a man becomes enraged that his daughter can't get a new heart, he draws a Smith & Wesson 5904 off a hospital guard and begins a standoff. He accidentally scores a non-fatal shot on an officer after less lethal is ordered to stop him when he reveals the safety is on, and then turns it off and hits an officer's vest.
In the 3rd episode dialogue, the Taurus Judge Kennon carried is called the "Jury", street name. "Takes 5 rounds, shotgun, single bore." Exact lines.
It is actually a Taurus Judge firing the very slim .410 shotgun round and can also accept .45 LC rounds.
In the 4th episode, a Smith & Wesson 5906 with a rounded trigger guard (yes, they can have different trigger guards and be the same model) was used by the outraged woman, Rebecca Kessfield (Chandra West).
A Beretta 92FS is used by the bank robber in episode 5, Season 1 "Who's George?". It is also used by the suicidal veteran SRU officer in episode 3, Season 2 "Haunting The Barn".
One is seen in Season 2, episode 7 "Clean Hands", used by Walter Volcek (Peter Outerbridge), the father of a victim of a serial killer to try get revenge. It should be noted that he racks the slide at least three times throughout the episode before he shoots it, and when he does it appears to fire full auto, though it might just have been full auto sound effects.
Ed was returning fire with bursts from his MP5. That's where the automatic sounds came from, if you listen close you can hear Volcek firing semi auto. --Crazycrankle 00:50, 24 October 2010 (UTC)
In episode 7. A boy took out an old revolver that according to dialogue was carried by his great-grand father and his grandfather. So we can assume it's an old piece. Maybe a Single Action Army or something like that.
Not an SAA, I don't see an ejector piece.
From the looks of the first picture, it looks to me like a S&W model 3 revolver.
This series takes place in Canada and the father says that it was taken ashore at Juno beach on D-day, so what did the Canadians use as a sidearm in WWII? Webley?
The character of the father refers to the revolver being issued to a relative who proceeded to carry it up the Chilkoot Pass during the Klondike gold rush. This was well before the landing on Juno Beach so it's not a Webley.
Seen being used by Ed Lane in season 1 episode 9 "Planets Aligned" is a CornerShot, both with an without an ACOG scope (which is rather useless on a CornerShot anyway). A Glock 17 is fitted on the end.
One of the men who takes Justin Fraser's (Ryan Kennedy) wife hostage holds a chome plated IMI Desert Eagle Mark XIX .50 AE to her head in Season 2, Episode 10 "Remote Control".
Michael McKewon uses a Beretta 84FS "Cheetah" during the bank robbery in Season 2, Episode 10 "Remote Control". It is later taken by Justin Fraser (Ryan Kennedy).
The bullied high school student in Season 2, Episode 11 "Perfect Storm" steals a Smith & Wesson Model 686 with a 3" barrel from a box under his Dad's bed before taking it to his school.
A Beretta 92FS Inox is used by a man who is trying to protect his brother from a gang in the episode "Exit Wounds". One of arms dealer Mark Watson's henchmen in season 3 episode 14, "The Other Lane" fires a 92FS Inox at the SRU team as they enter his house.
Sgt. Gregory Parker regularly has two or more officers armed with H&K MP5A3s with tri-rails, Navy trigger groups, and forward grips at his side. For some reason SRU officers feel the need to grab the magazine even though they have perfectly good vertical foregrips(Actually i checked its only the one actor who does that, everyone else uses the foregrip). They also rarely feel the need to rest stock against shoulder, as they are often seen holding the stock a good 6 inches away from their body.
Ed Lane is seen using one in Season 2, Episode 6 "The Fortress" with a Navy Trigger group, although switches to his Glock so he can carry a riot shield.
For whatever reason Ed gradually stops using an MP5A3 over season 3 in favor of his Glock. Notably in one episode his foregrip disappeared in the middle of the episode only to reappear seconds later.
A Heckler & Koch UMP is also seen on a gun rack in the police station. A member of SRU Team 4 is also briefly seen with a UMP in season 3 episode 12, "Follow the Leader."
A Micro Uzi is accidentally fired by arms dealer Nick Watson's henchman in season 3 episode 14, "The Other Lane". Both Watson and Roy Lane later use the same weapon for the remainder of the episode, only used by Watson to shoot Lane in a concealed bulletproof vest at point-blank range while surrounded by the SRU.
Several officers use M4A1 carbine assault rifles as standard-issue weapons. Juliana uses one in the second episode to watch over a father with a gun in the hospital. It is fitted with a red-dot sight but when she looks through it, it incorrectly has a sniper reticule instead. By episode seven, just about all the main officers have used M4A1s. The props weapons used are not the similar Canadian-made Diemaco C8 carbine, which would be more appropriate for a Canadian SWAT team to use, since Diemaco (now Colt Canada) does not sell its weapons to civilian companies (including the armorers who worked on the show). Sam also uses a M4A1 in the Season 3 episode "The Other Lane".
In season 2, episode 4, the son of the shooter in the first episode uses a Heckler & Koch G3 rifle (specific make unknown [i would say it´s a G3 SG1 because of the Bipod]) to snipe people from city hall. Braddock can identify this rifle by simply looking at the shell casing, because the "HK G3" and other CETME variants leave stripes on the shell casings, a feature caused by the fluted chamber.
Also at the range the sniper seem to have picked would have made his scope a very bad choice, despite the zoom in the scene isn't where he is supposed to be, it's too close for the sight to see his target that clearly. He was on the roof of city hall.
Members of a white supremacist group in season 3, episode 12 "Follow the Leader" fire AK-47 rifles (distinguished by their open sights, angular wooden stocks and smooth receivers) at the SRU officers during a raid on their hideout.
Another of Watson's guards at the docks is armed with a short-barreled FN FAL with a RIS handguard and an Elcan sight. Since it is never fired, it is possible that the weapon is the airsoft version made by King Arms.
The Federal M201-Z Grenade Launcher is used in Season 1, Episode 7 by Juliana. It is also seen used by Sam Braddock in "Eagle Two", Season 2, Episode 1. It is again used by Mike 'Spike' Scarlatti (Sergio Di Zio) in Season 2, Episode 2, "Backwards Day", but it was not fired.
In Season 2, Episode 7 "Clean Hands" Walter Volcek (Peter Outerbridge) holds a primed M67 hand grenade to keep Sam Braddock as a hostage. He is eventually subdued when a foam gun is used to keep the grenade in his hands and not go off.
