The M1911A1 is used by the U.S. military. The Utah Army National Guard assisted in filming. Like the M16A2, (see Rifles), the Beretta 92 had evidently not been issued yet to the unit that helped in the filming. It is my understanding that when actual military units participate in a movie they will use their own weapons or at least the National Guard units do - or did. This mini-series was filmed twenty years ago (February - July 1993). Very likely things have changed. I was in the Army Reserve and National Guard from 1986-1993 and I heard from a few fellow Guardsmen about their past experiences on television and movie productions as extras.I suppose it eases both the cost and the logistics for the production.I would imagine it would make the safety checks a bit more challenging though.
When Stu Redman (Gary Sinise) escapes the Vermont Plague Center he takes a Glock 19 from the dead Dr. Dietz (Sherman Howard) who tried to kill him with it.
The SIG-Sauer P228 is used by one of the Arizona state troopers during Lloyd Henreid's (Miguel Ferrer) botched robbery in Episode One. A P228 is also seen being used by Barry Dorgan (Chuck Adamson) during the climax of the mini-series in Part 4.
Judge Farris (Ossie Davis) tries to defend himself with a Smith & Wesson Model 29 before he is killed by Flagg's men. Harold Lauder (Corin Nemec) also uses a Model 29 to kill himself.
Lloyd Henreid (Miguel Ferrer) shoots and kills Glen Bateman (Ray Walston) with a Smith & Wesson Model 64 that has a stainless steel 3" barrel. Notice that the sights are "fixed" and that the ejector rod is not protected by a lug like on the Model 66. It is unknown if the revolver is actually the Model 64 in .38 special or the Model 65 in .357 Magnum. Both loads use the same size bullet (.357 inch) so the size of the bore is not helpful. With no screencap showing the model number on the side of the barrel, I'm going to assume it's a Model 64.
A blued steel Ruger Redhawk is carried by Larry Underwood (Adam Storke) when he is in the Lincoln Tunnel.

Note the hammer. It has the distinctive Ruger shape, in contrast to the Smith & Wesson hammer. It is also stainless, this is something somewhat unique to Ruger guns, even if the gun itself was blued, the hammer and trigger were stainless.Error creating thumbnail: File missingAnother shot of the grips from a scene after the Lincoln Tunnel sequence. Those are the older style wooden grips that Ruger put on the Redhawk during its early production years.
Rifles
M16A1
The M16A1 can be seen carried by several characters, mainly U.S. Army soldiers. The Utah Army National Guard assisted in the filming of the mini-series which would explain the older style M-16's. In 1993 (when it was filmed) many of the National Guard units were still waiting for the M16A2 to be issued. Also carried by Stu Redman (Gary Sinise). The M16A1 was replaced by the M16A2.
Crazy Julie Lawry (Shawnee Smith) uses a 760 to drive Nick Andros (Rob Lowe) and Tom Cullen (Bill Fagerbakke) out of town after Nick tells her that she isn't welcomed to join them. The model she is using actually appears to be the older Remington 760 going off the shape of the front action/grip. In addition (Shawnee Smith) can be seen working the slide action which obviously can't be shown with screencaps.
Two Boulder Free Zone guards are seen armed with a pair of Scoped Bolt Action Hunting Rifles. One of the guards was Stephen King in a small role. The other guard was played by Mike Lookinland. Lookinland is best known for playing Bobby Brady in the 1970's television series The Brady Bunch. He was also the second camera operator on the production's camera crew.
The Heckler & Koch HK 94 can be seen in the car used by Lloyd Henreid (Miguel Ferrer) and Poke (Richard Lineback) before the botched gas station robbery, but was not used. Also seen in the crowd in Las Vegas near the end of episode four.
The Heckler & Koch SP89 can be seen carried by Flagg's man, Bobby Terry (Sam Raimi). It is used by Bobby Terry (Sam Raimi) to kill Judge Farris (Ossie Davis). There is one shot in the truck in which it appears that Bobby Terry (Sam Raimi) is carrying an older style "slimline" MP5. Possibly a continuity error. Evidently it was very common in the the late eighties and early nineties for the civilian legal SP89 to be converted to full-auto and have the MP5K foregrip added on.
Several of Flagg's enforcers carries a Japanese Airsoft KG-9 (the precursor to the TEC-9 Series of pistols). It is a Maruzen KG9-SP and is a pump action spring airsoft pistol.
During the rioting, when the plague is at its high-point, a rioter is seen running amok in New York City with an Ithaca 37. What appears to be another Ithaca 37, albeit with a sawn-off barrel is used by Russ Dorr (John Landis).
Used by storekeeper during the botched robbery in episode one. There is never a good shot of it, but it appears to be a Double Barreled "coach" shotgun.
