The following weapons were used in the television series The Stand:
Error creating thumbnail: File missing WARNING! THIS PAGE CONTAINS SPOILERS!
Handguns
M1911A1
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.
Desert Eagle MK I
The IMI Desert Eagle MK I is carried by Andrew "Poke" Freeman (Richard Lineback) during the botched robbery in Episode One.
Glock 19
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.
SIG-Sauer P228
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.
Beretta 92FS
The Beretta 92FS is used by another Arizona state trooper during Lloyd Henreid's (Miguel Ferrer) botched robbery.
Smith & Wesson Model 4506
A Smith & Wesson 4506 is used by Deputy Kingsolving (Jim Haynie), who arrests Lloyd Henried (Miguel Ferrer) at the end of the botched robbery.
Smith & Wesson Model M&P
Nadine Cross (Laura San Giacomo) is seen carrying a nickel-plated Smith & Wesson M&P.
Smith & Wesson Model 29
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.
Smith & Wesson Model 15
A Smith & Wesson Model 15 is used by murderous redneck Ray Booth (Patrick Kilpatrick) in Shoyo, Arkansas, while attempting to kill Nick Andros (Rob Lowe).
Smith & Wesson Model 64
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.
Smith & Wesson Model 28 Highway Patrolman
A Smith & Wesson Model 28 Highway Patrolman is carried by Nick Andros (Rob Lowe). He gets it from the sheriff in Arkansas who takes him in after he is attacked in the first episode by Ray Booth (Patrick Kilpatrick) and his cronies.
Ruger Redhawk
A blued steel Ruger Redhawk is carried by Larry Underwood (Adam Storke) when he is in the Lincoln Tunnel.
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 M16s. 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.
M16 rifle
One of Flagg's men appears to be carrying an original M16. Note the three pronged flash suppressor and no forward bolt assist.
Remington Model 760
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.
Unknown Hunting Rifles
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.
Submachine guns
Heckler & Koch HK 94
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.
Heckler & Koch SP89
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.
Uzi Submachine Gun
The Uzi Submachine Gun is used by Lloyd Henreid (Miguel Ferrer) during the botched robbery in episode one.
Maruzen KG9 SP
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.
Shotguns
Mossberg 590 Mariner
Mossberg 590 Mariner shotguns are carried by Flagg's men.
Ithaca 37
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).
Unidentified Double Barrel Shotgun
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.
Machine gun
M60
The M60 machine gun can be seen mounted on various U.S. Army vehicles.
