==Modified FN MAG== | |||
The "Defender", the titular Dodge Viper of the show, carried a pair of machine guns in retractable turrets which were described by Ally Farrow ([[Dawn Stern]]) in the pilot episode as "Browning .50-caliber machine guns" (referring to the [[Browning M2]]-series HMGs). However, in several episodes, the Defender's machine guns were removed and used by characters as stand-alone weapons (this happened most notably in the episode "Standoff"). In all of these episodes, the weapons appear to be heavily modified [[FN MAG]] general-purpose machine guns (GPMGs) in 7.62x51mm NATO, contrary to Ally's claim that they were Browning M2s. | |||

==Glock 22== | |||
In some episodes, it appears that the Glock pistols used by Westlake and other bad guys are actually the [[Glock 22]], the [[Glock 17]]'s .40 S&W "big brother". This can be discerned by looking at the bore aperture of the pistols, which seem too large to be 9mm in diameter. | |||

Revision as of 21:08, 14 March 2009
The following guns were used in the television series Viper:
NOTE: This article refers to the Paramount Television series which ran from 1996-1999, not the original NBC show which aired for one season in 1994.
- All of these images are terrible because they're from YouTube videos of the episodes in question. This show hasn't been released on DVD yet (and isn't likely to be anytime soon), so this is the best we can do for now. -MT2008 01:45, 3 January 2009 (UTC)
Modified FN MAG
The "Defender", the titular Dodge Viper of the show, carried a pair of machine guns in retractable turrets which were described by Ally Farrow (Dawn Stern) in the pilot episode as "Browning .50-caliber machine guns" (referring to the Browning M2-series HMGs). However, in several episodes, the Defender's machine guns were removed and used by characters as stand-alone weapons (this happened most notably in the episode "Standoff"). In all of these episodes, the weapons appear to be heavily modified FN MAG general-purpose machine guns (GPMGs) in 7.62x51mm NATO, contrary to Ally's claim that they were Browning M2s.
Glock 17
Detective Cameron Westlake (Heather Medway) used a Gen 2 Glock 17 as her sidearm throughout the show. All of the other Metro City police officers also used Glock 17s, and some bad guys in the show used them as well.
Glock 22
In some episodes, it appears that the Glock pistols used by Westlake and other bad guys are actually the Glock 22, the Glock 17's .40 S&W "big brother". This can be discerned by looking at the bore aperture of the pistols, which seem too large to be 9mm in diameter.
Walther PPK/S?
Westlake also carried a Walther PPK/S in several episodes, which appears to be her off-duty/undercover weapon.
Beretta 92FS Inox
Thomas Cole (Jeff Kaake), the leader of team and primary driver of the Defender, carried a Beretta 92FS Inox as his sidearm throughout the show. On quite a few occasions, he used a pair of these pistols akimbo. Bad guys could be seen using the 92FS Inox as well.
Taurus PT92
The Taurus PT92 was a very common handgun used by bad guys in the show. Frankie Waters (Joe Nipote) also used one in a few episodes.
Remington 870
Metro City police officers and bad guys alike often used police-model Remington 870 shotguns. Westlake used one during the bank robbery in the episode "Winner Take All".
Heckler & Koch MP5A3
Many episodes featured Heckler & Koch MP5A3 submachine guns, almost always with the "slimline" forearm. Typically, these weapons appeared in the hands of bad guys, such as Colonel Dekker's motorcycle gunmen in the episode "Winner Take All".
The "Timecop Pistol"
In the first episode, "Winner Take All", Colonel Dekker (Tim Thomerson) used an unusual futuristic-looking pistol to shoot at a security camera in the bank during a robbery. This gun was a dressed-up Taurus PT92 that was originally made for the Jean Claude Van Damme movie Timecop, and it also appeared in episodes of Stargate: SG1 and Stargate: Atlantis.
M1911 variant (Auto Ordnance?)
Agent Catlett (J. Downing) used an M1911 variant in several episodes, which appears to be an Auto Ordnance M1911A1, though this is not certain.
Browning M1919
In the episode "Winner Take All", Colonel Dekker's International Transtar semi truck had a pair of Browning M1919 mounted on firing ports atop the sleeper cabin. They are most likely the M37, which was the variant intended to be mounted on armored vehicles.
Kimel Industries AP-9
The Kimel Industries AP-9 was often used by bad guys.
Cobray M11/9
Quite a few bad guys also used Cobray M11/9s in many episodes. Cole used one of these weapons in the episode "Standoff" after capturing it from a rogue U.S. Army intelligence officer (???)
SIG-Sauer P226
The SIG-Sauer P226 was used in some episodes, sometimes by bad guys, other times by various federal agent types.
Jericho 941 "Baby Eagle"
In the episode "Diamond in the Rough", the female bank robber used a stainless Jericho 941.
IMI Uzi
IMI Uzi submachine guns were often used by bad guys.
Micro Uzi
The smaller Micro Uzi machine pistol was also a favorite weapon of bad guys in the show.
Heckler & Koch P9S
In the episode "Diamond in the Rough", Cole was given a Heckler & Koch P9S while working undercover as a bank robber.
M72 LAW
In some episodes, bad guys used M72 LAW rocket launchers.
