Revision as of 23:29, 29 May 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.





The Defender's machine guns (modified FN MAGs)

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 21

In some episodes, it appears that the Glock pistols used by Westlake and other bad guys are actually the Glock 21, the Glock 17's .45 ACP "big brother". This can be discerned by looking at the bore aperture of the pistols, which seem too large to be 9mm (or even .40 S&W) in diameter. In the episode "Street Pirates", Westlake fitted her Glock 21 with a laser sight mounted under the base of the magazine when she was trying to hit the auto-disable circuit on the Defender after it was stolen by the weapons thieves.

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.

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.

A variant of the Browning M1919 developed during World War 2, this model is designated the M37, with the ability to feed from either the left or the right of the weapon - 30-06. This example is shown without a tripod, only the pintle mount. This the MOST likely .30 cal machine gun to be seen firing from armored vehicles.

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 (???)

A submachine gun of unknown make and model was used by Terry Molloy's (Skip Sudduth's) thugs in the episode "Talk Is Cheap". This same weapon, whatever it is, was also seen in a few episodes of Smallville.

SIG-Sauer P226

The SIG-Sauer P226 was used in some episodes, sometimes by bad guys, other times by various federal agent types. In the episode "Wheelman", the character 'Jolie' (Rachel Hayward) used one of these pistols with a suppressor. Westlake was able to identify Jolie's weapon as a SIG P226 simply by looking at the shell casings (impossible in reality), though she did correctly point out that the P226 is used by the Navy SEALs in real life.

Diemaco C7/Colt Model 715

Bad guys sometimes used M16-type rifles which appear to have been Diemaco C7s, or the Colt Model 715 equivalent. They look similar to the M16A2, except without the A2-style rear sight which was adjustable for elevation. These rifles were used by notably in the episode "Standoff" by the rogue U.S. Army intelligence officers. In the episode "Diamond in the Rough", one of these rifles was used with a Cobray CM203.

Unknown pistol

In the episode "Wheelman", Billy Lennox (Callum Keith Rennie) gave Dana Callow (Marcie Mellish) a compact polymer pistol with a gray frame and slide to use in the heist. He claimed it was undetectable by X-ray machines (another Hollywood myth about polymer pistols). It is not clear what this pistol is.

Unknown rocket launcher

This was used by the leader of the Vigilantes gang to fire at the Defender in the episode "Turf Wars". Cole managed to deflect the rocket with a static pulse.
