Miami Vice - Season 2: Difference between revisions
Sonny Crockett ([[Don Johnson]]) uses a [[Bren Ten]] in the second season of the show. It was essentially a beefed-up CZ 75 chambered for the original 10mm Norma Auto cartridge which differs slightly in case length from later 10mm rounds. This round was HOT, and consequently damaged the guns. In the '80s this was a new cartridge, but is rarely used in modern day. The company of Dornaus & Dixon was an ill-fated one, and since the producers of the Miami Vice-series would not use discontinued guns, it was replaced with the S&W 645 auto pistol

"The two guns were ordered specifically for the show by Michael Mann's production company. They did not come off the assembly line, but were built by Tom Dornaus personally. Tom did the initial blank conversion, if you want to call it that, but actually these two guns were built from the ground up specifically for firing blanks. He used major components which were not deemed suitable for production guns, but were perfectly adequate for a blank gun. The two guns were Standard Models with the old style rear sight assembly and no trigger stop screw. All external markings were standard Bren Ten. The only difference being that the guns had recoil springs and barrels designed to fire .45 ACP blanks. The barrel does not carry any caliber designation roll mark however. Because the ejection port on a Bren Ten is so large I don't believe that it had to be enlarged to accommodate the elongated .45 ACP blank cases. (Remember that the blank cases are in the shape of a loaded round WITH bullet seated.) Michael Mann requested specifically that the slides be a light color (hard chrome) for enhanced visibility. The hard chrome work was done by a small firm in the Huntington Beach area at that time. Both guns carry a special serial number. One of the guns is in the possession of a major collector in Pennsylvania and the other is owned by one of the show's producers, I believe. They weren't Marksmans or Standard Models with conversion kits. They were two specially built guns". from http://www.bren-ten.com/website/id5.html

Surf ([[David Rasche]]) uses a converted [[M16 rifle series|Colt Sporter II Rifle]] with a barrel cut down to 10" flush with the front sight and a standard A1 Flash hider, during the climax of "Bushido". The generic term for such a converted carbine is the CAR-15 SMG, though there are variants which have 11.5", 10.5" and 10" barrels. In "Bushido", it is equipped with a 90-round drum magazine and a large laser sight. One of Col. Maynard's ([[G. Gordon Liddy]]) thugs is also armed with a standard version (without the accessories) in "Back in the World".

"The two guns were ordered specifically for the show by Michael Mann's production company. They did not come off the assembly line, but were built by Tom Dornaus personally. Tom did the initial blank conversion, if you want to call it that, but actually these two guns were built from the ground up specifically for firing blanks. He used major components which were not deemed suitable for production guns, but were perfectly adequate for a blank gun. The two guns were Standard Models with the old style rear sight assembly and no trigger stop screw. All external markings were standard Bren Ten. The only difference being that the guns had recoil springs and barrels designed to fire .45 ACP blanks. The barrel does not carry any caliber designation roll mark however. Because the ejection port on a Bren Ten is so large I don't believe that it had to be enlarged to accommodate the elongated .45 ACP blank cases. (Remember that the blank cases are in the shape of a loaded round WITH bullet seated.) Michael Mann requested specifically that the slides be a light color (hard chrome) for enhanced visibility. The hard chrome work was done by a small firm in the Huntington Beach area at that time. Both guns carry a special serial number. One of the guns is in the possession of a major collector in Pennsylvania and the other is owned by one of the show's producers, I believe. They weren't Marksmans or Standard Models with conversion kits. They were two specially built guns". from http://www.bren-ten.com/website/id5.html
Sonny Crockett (Don Johnson) carries a Detonics Combatmaster as a backup gun, in an ankle holster. In reality the Detonics would have been a substantial handgun to carry in an ankle holster. Kevin Cates (Graham Beckel) uses one in the climax of "Payback".
Tubbs and Castillo both use Detonics Scoremasters in "The Prodigal Son" episode. Castillo also uses one in "Whatever Works". Several other characters throughout the series also use them.
Several police officers throughout the season are armed with heavy barreled Smith & Wesson Model 10s. This indicates that it is most likely the standard issue sidearm for the Metro-Dade Police Department.
A patron at the club where Crockett and Robbie (James Remar) are drinking at pulls a Beretta M1934 on Robbie when he starts dancing on the pool table in "Buddies".
Many characters throughout the series can be seen using Taurus PT92s.

Astra Constable
Juan Carlos Silva (Jose Perez) uses an stainless engraved Astra Constable with pearl grips at the end of "Junk Love".
Charlie Basset (Ted Nugent) uses a stainless Taurus PT99, noted by the adjustable sights, in "Definitely Miami". (Thanks to MT2008 for spotting the adjustable sights.) A drug dealer also uses one in "Sons and Lovers".
In "Definitely Miami", Clemente's messenger's revolver switches from a Smith & Wesson Model 19 to a Colt Python in a brief continuity error. It is noted as so because in one shot his revolver has a half lug running under the barrel (S&W) and then a full lug (Colt). Also, in one shot it has a Bo Mar Rib on top of the barrel (S&W) and then a standard barrel with ribbing in the next shot (Colt).
Lt. Castillo (Edward James Olmos) uses a Smith & Wesson Model 19 in "Definitely Miami". In "Definitely Miami", one of Clemente's men uses a Model 19 with a bo-mar rib. This switches to a Colt Python during a continuity error.
An Ithaca 37 Stakeout is carried by Det. Ricardo Tubbs (Philip Michael Thomas) in the second season. This is a customized weapon with a shortened barrel and magazine tube, a ventilated barrel shroud and a folding vertical grip.
Many Metro-Dade police officers, Vice detectives, and SRT members use Mossberg 500s throughout the series, both with black synthetic furniture and wooden furniture.
Several standard HK94s are seen throughout the series, often equipped with pistol grips and barrel jackets.

Micro Uzi
Several thugs use Micro Uzis with/without folding stocks throughout the season.
Several Colombian soldiers in the opening scene in "The Prodigal Son" are armed with Norinco Type 56-1 rifles, fitted with AKM style muzzle brakes to pass them off as AKMSs. It is identified as a Norinco by the front sight, which is the .75" style, instead of the .5" of the AKM/AKMS. (Thanks to MT2008 for identifying this one)
One of the Colombian soldiers in the beginning of "The Prodigal Son" is seen holding a Heckler & Koch HK91 rifle. It is noted as so by the trigger group and the lack of grenade ring.
Several characters use M16s throughout the season. Tubbs' also uses one in "Out Where the Buses Don't Run", which switched from being an M16A1 in a continuity error.
Stan Switek (Michael Talbott) uses a Beretta BM59 during the Everglades shootout in "The Prodigal Son". He uses the same rifle during the shootout with Pinchada's thugs in "Out Where the Buses Don't Run". (Thanks to Charon68 for identifying this one)
Surf (David Rasche) uses a converted Colt Sporter II Rifle with a barrel cut down to 10" flush with the front sight and a standard A1 Flash hider, during the climax of "Bushido".
