Revision as of 09:34, 24 November 2011
V.I.P. was an action comedy series distributed by Sony Pictures Television that ran for four seasons on the UPN Network and in syndication throughout the United States. Created by J.F. Lawton (the screenwriter of Under Siege), the series featured Pamela Anderson as a woman who becomes the figurehead of a bodyguard service after unwittingly saving the life of a celebrity. The series 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 shootout with bandits in the street and no vehicles or buildings are damaged. It was a low budgeted series and it showed, but the producers 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.:

A Ruger MK II with integral Suppressor is the primary sidearm of Tasha Dexter (Molly Culver), first seen in Season 1 - Episode 1 "Beats Working at a Hot Dog Stand" - .22 LR.
Rifles
Valmet M82A
- Season 1 - Episode 2 "What to Do with Vallery When You're Dead" in the hands of one of Viktor Baleks' henchmen.
Ruger Mini 14
- Season 1 - Episode 2 "What to Do with Vallery When You're Dead" in the hands of one of Viktor Baleks' henchmen in a factory folding stock.
Ruger AC556
Glock 17
- The standard sidearm of Quick Williams (Shaun Baker) - 9mm.
Grendel P-12
- Seen in Season 1 - Episode 1 "Beats Working at a Hot Dog Stand", Kay Simmons (Leah Lail) carries a grey colored Grendel P-12 pistol - .380 acp.
M60E3
Heckler & Koch MP5A3
- Seen throughout the run of the show, this is a very commonly used firearm.
Heckler & Koch MP5K
AK-47

MGC-16 Replica rifle
M16A1
M16A1 with A2 Handguards
- Seen in Season 1 - Episode 3 "One Wedding and Val's Funeral" used by Tasha Dexter and Quick Williams.
Remington 742
- Season 1 - Episode 2 "What to Do with Vallery When You're Dead", Cyberjournalist Arnie Feign (Wayne Pére) takes a Remington 742 Semiautomatic deer rifle with a scope out a locker and uses it to attempt to scare off Vallery Irons.
Remington 870
Ingram MAC-11
- Used by two female assassins in Season 1 - Episode 11 "Good Val Hunting".
^ Or that the throttle on an ATV is on the right side
C96 Broomhandle Mauser
Seen in Season 1 - Episode 11 "Good Val Hunting", used by Eric Collier (John D'Aquino). Collier's C96 is nickel plated.
Seeing as this pistol looks very shiny and almost brand-new, I'd assume it's a Chinese-made imitation. Real "Broomhandles" are relatively rare.
Beretta 92SB
Beretta 92FS
Mossberg 500 shotgun
Franchi SPAS-12 Shotgun
Winchester Model 1200 Shotgun
Commercial CAR-15 Variant
- In Season 1 - Episode 1, diamond thieves use an unusual CAR-15 variant with a bayonet lug attached to the elongated flash hider. This is also used to mount a CM203 37mm launcher during some scenes.
Steyr AUG
SA Vz.61 Skorpion
Uzi Submachine Gun
Type 56-1
SWD Streetsweeper
M72A3 LAW Rocket
AT4
- In Season 1 - Episode 1 "Beats Working at a Hot Dog Stand", "Militia Leader" Jackson Lasarr (Dean Norris) uses an M136 AT4 Launcher with a Night Vision scope mounted against the VIP team. Militia leader Lasarr is the head of the fictional "Texas Mad Dog Militia". In the 1990s the favorite and only politically correct 'bogeyman' of Hollywood was the "White Christian Male Militia Member". But to be fair to V.I.P., wide shots of Lasarr's "anti Government" fringe group seem to have Hispanic, Asian and African American members as well, so they are an Equal opportunity fringe group.
Browning Baby 25
To be sorted
- It actually looks a bit like a CZ-82 with a suppressor. I see now the hammer isn't a ring like I thought, so this gun matches it more now. - Gunmaster45
- Looks to me like a Bersa Thunder - Warejaws
- Remington 1866 Derringer - Warejaws
