Chuck is an American comedy spy series that stars Zachary Levi as Chuck Bartowski, an ordinary IT worker employed at a consumer electronics store when he suddenly has the contents of the American spy supercomputer downloaded into his brain. As he has periodic flashes where he can access the supercomputer, Chuck finds himself the target of enemy operatives while members of the CIA and NSA who are assigned to protect him work undercover at his place of employment. Since Chuck and other characters have a vast knowledge of pop culture, many in-jokes are interspersed throughout the series. The series premiered in 2007 and currently airs on NBC.
The following weapons were used in the series Chuck:
Colonel John Casey (Adam Baldwin) carries a custom SIG-Sauer P229 as his sidearm. The SIG is fitted with Crimson Trace laser grips, and with the flat surfaces polished on the slide, as well as the controls, trigger, and hammer. According to dialogue from "Chuck Versus the Colonel", the gun is a 9mm. Many have confused this gun with the SIG-Sauer P229R Equinox pistol (especially elsewhere on the net). The two pistols are displayed here for comparison. Morgan Grimes (Joshua Gomez) is trained with this exact same weapon in "Chuck Versus the Role Models" (S3E15), which he identifies as a "SIG 229, 9mm, full metal jacket, with laser grips" (one of the many in-jokes in the series, as Adam Baldwin co-starred in the film Full Metal Jacket). He then explains that he learned about guns from playing first-person shooter video games.

Note the differences between this pistol and the one used on the show. The most obvious difference is that the Equinox guns are "R" Models (i.e. they have rails). Other features that are different are the Sights, the Mag Release button, the frame & Slide and the rubber grips.Error creating thumbnail: File missingA publicity photo of Colonel John Casey (Adam Baldwin) with his custom SIG-Sauer P229.Error creating thumbnail: File missingIn the pilot episode "Chuck Versus the Intersect", Colonel John Casey does a brass check with his custom SIG-Sauer P229.

SIG-Sauer P229R
When Chuck (Zachary Levi) takes his "Red Test" in Season 3's "Chuck Versus the Final Exam" (S3E11), he is given a brand-new SIG-Sauer P229R. It appears that this will be his issued sidearm now that he is a spy. He is seen with it in Season 3's "Chuck Versus the Other Guy" (S3E13).
SIG-Sauer P226 (Custom resembling a Tactical Operations)
It appears that in Season 4 Casey starts carrying a customized SIG-Sauer P226 as his sidearm. The pistol resemble the the Tactical Operations variant, being fitted with an Elite slide with front cocking serrations, TRUGLO Tritium Fiber Optic front sight, and extended Magwell grips with 20 round magazine. However, the pistol lacks the beavertail of the Tactical Operations pistol, has nickel accents and has had the notron finish of the slide removed from the raised portions of the cocking serrations. It was also seen in the hands of Gaez (Lou Diamond Phillips) when he threatens Carina in "Chuck Versus the Cat Squad".
In Season 1's "Chuck Versus the Wookie" (S1E04), Carina (Mini Anden) opens the trunk of her car to reveal several weapons, one being a Smith & Wesson 3913 "Ladysmith". This gun was later used by Jill Roberts (Jordana Brewster) in Season 2's "Chuck Versus the Gravitron" (S2E08).
In Season 2's "Chuck Versus Santa Clause", Noseless Ned Ryerson pulls what appears to be a Smith & Wesson Model 625 to hold Chuck and the others hostage in the Buy More. Devon Woodcomb (Ryan McPartlin) is later seen holding the revolver.
La Ciudad's bodyguard holds his Jericho 941 to Chuck's back in "Chuck Versus the Tango" (S1E03). In the same episode, a stainless Jericho is pointed at Chuck by Uri (Matthew Willig), another of La Ciudad's bodyguards before Casey knocks him out with a microwave. Sarah dual-wields a blued and a stainless Jericho at "Weap-con" in Season 3's "Chuck Versus the Nacho Sampler" (S3E06).
Peyman Alahi and his henchmen draw their Chrome Silver and Gold IMI Desert Eagle Mark I throughout "Chuck Versus the Wookie" (S1E04). It is very likely that the gold Desert Eagle wielded by Peyman Alahi was one of the same guns built for Austin Powers in Goldmember, although the ivory grips were removed for this series. Independent Studio Services, the armorers who supplied the weapons for Chuck, also supplied weapons to Goldmember. Casey uses a similar gun, possibly the same one, at Weap-con in Season 3's "Chuck Versus the Nacho Sampler". Chuck gives Sarah a chrome Desert Eagle for a mission in "Chuck Versus the Anniversary" (S4E01), but she is not seen using it. Another chrome Desert Eagle fitted with a scope and a custom compensator that matches the barrel is used in "Chuck Versus Phase Three" by Morgan Grimes (Joshua Gomez). Although John Casey (Adam Baldwin) said it didn't have any bullets; it may have implied he only gave him blanks or none at all.
A Beretta 950 Jetfire with nickel plating and pearl grips is used by the Flight Attendant Assassin (Josie Davis) in Season 3's "Chuck Versus First Class" (S3E05). She notably shoves the barrel up Chuck's nose. This is most likely the same gun that was used by Eva Mendes in The Spirit, since ISS supplied the weapons for that movie, as well as this series.
Another Beretta 950 Jetfire is pulled by Sarah in Season 3's "Chuck Versus the Role Models" (S03E15). After Chuck and Sarah dash out of the room, the Jetfire turns into a Black Walther PPK
The Beretta 90Two with an extended magazine is the weapon of choice for Mary Bartowski (Linda Hamilton), Chuck's mother. In "Chuck vs. the Aisle of Terror" (S4E06), she wields it in a standoff with Sarah and outside a restaurant where she meets Chuck.
In "Chuck Versus the Wookie" (S1E04), Carina (Mini Anden) opens her car's trunk to reveal several weapons, one being a stainless Colt Gold Cup National Match.
In "Chuck Versus the Pink Slip" (S3E01), Chuck (Zachary Levi) holds the stainless railed Colt XSE 1911 in the opening mission in Prague, Czech Republic.
The FN Five-seveN is the weapon of choice for operatives of the Ring. Equipped with tactical lights on their rails, Ring spies use the FN Five-seveN in "Chuck Versus the Ring" (S2E22). A similar weapon with a laser sight is also used by Ring operative Javier Cruz (Adoni Maropis) in "Chuck Versus the Pink Slip" (S3E01) and by Sydney Prince (Angie Harmon) in "Chuck Versus Operation Awesome" (S3E04).
Laszlo Mahnovski disarms Agent Scary of his Glock 17 in the opening scene of "Chuck Versus the Sandworm" (S1E06). In "Chuck Versus the Break-Up" (S2E18), CIA Agent Alex Forrest (Tricia Helfer) is seen using a Glock variant to fire tranquilizer darts. Several Glock 17's (sometimes with suppressors) are also used by Fulcrum agents in "Chuck Versus the Colonel" and "Chuck Versus the Ring".
An undercover MI-6 agent is carrying a suppressed Heckler & Koch USP in "Chuck Versus the Tango" (S1E03). Also, one of the sheik's associates wields this pistol in "Chuck Versus the DeLorean" (S2E10). In Season 3's "Chuck Versus the Honeymooners" (S3E14), Sarah and Chuck are threatened by Interpol operatives that carry the USP's with stainless slides. Sarah is later seen holding the weapon. Sarah is seen with a black USP in a promotional image for S5E1 "Chuck vs. The Zoom"
In Season 3's "Chuck Versus the Living Dead" (S3E17), Ellie (Sarah Lancaster) retrieves a two tone Heckler & Koch USP Compact from a speaker box she received from Ring agent Justin Sullivan (Scott Holroyd) when she hears someone in the house.
In Season 2's "Chuck Versus the Seduction" (S2E02), Sasha Banicheck (Melinda Clarke) is seen using a suppressed Makarov PM.
In Season 3's "Chuck Versus the Angel de la Muerte" (S3E03), several soldiers that accompany Premier Alejandro Goya (Armand Assante) wield nickel plated Makarov PM pistols. Goya's chief bodyguard pulls his Makarov to force Chuck to perform a medical operation.
Two nickel-plated Norinco Type 54s are used by Mei-Ling Cho (Gwendoline Yeo) while trying to free her brother from the Chinese mafia in "Chuck Versus the Sizzling Shrimp" (S1E05). Later in the episode, she uses this pistol to hold Chuck at gunpoint. (Bizarrely, while observing from inside their SUV, Casey somehow mistakes these twin pistols for Glocks. After a flash, Chuck corrects Casey, explaining that they are "Chinese Army-issue pistols".)
Bryce Larkin (Matthew Bomer) holds a Taurus PT92AFS at Chuck and Sarah after breaking into Casey's apartment in "Chuck Versus the Nemesis" (S1E10). Sarah also wields one in "Chuck Versus the Alma Mater".
In Season 2's "Chuck Versus the Seduction" (S2E02), Roan Montgomery (John Larroquette) is seen holding a Walther PPK/S. Laura Turner (Swoosie Kurtz) is seen pulling Walther PPK/S on Sarah and Chuck in Season 3's "Chuck Versus the Role Models" (S03E15).
Sarah also uses a Walther when she is seen shooting Evelyn Shaw in Season 3's "Chuck Versus the American Hero". The gun she uses appears to be a Non Gun Walther PPK.
Error creating thumbnail: File missingSarah also uses a Walther when she is seen shooting Evelyn Shaw in Season 3's "Chuck Versus the American Hero". Judging from the "poof" of smoke, the gun she uses appears to be a Non Gun Walther PPK.
Walther P5
In "Chuck Versus the Undercover Lover" (S1E12), Ilsa Trinchina (Ivana Milicevic) pulls a silver Walther P5 on Casey.
What appears to be a heavily customized Walther P99 is featured prominently in Season 1's "Chuck Versus the Imported Hard Salami". The weapon is also seen hanging in Casey's apartment arsenal as well as in the Castle. Since the handgun isn't seen fired, the P99 is most likely the Walther Nighthawk, a CO2 airgun.
In the pilot episode as Bryce Larkin is stealing the Intersect computer, numerous members of the CIA's security detail carry the Heckler & Koch MP5A2 with SureFire dedicated forend weaponlights. In "Chuck Versus Phase Three" (S4E09), Casey (Adam Baldwin) can be seen with a MP5A2 with a red-dot scope as well. Later in the same episode, Sarah also uses the MP5A2.
In "Chuck Versus the First Date" (S1E01), the men employed by Mr. Colt (Michael Clarke Duncan) are armed with MAC-11 submachine guns fitted with suppressors when they confront Chuck and Sarah at the Chinese restaurant.
An armed sentry (presumably US Army) is seen holding a Colt M4A1 in "Chuck Versus the Helicopter" (S1E02). In several episodes, members of the CIA strike team can also be seen carrying the M4A1, often outfitted with a variety of optics (Trijicon 4x ACOG scope, Aimpoint CompM2 red dot, and/or EOTech 552 holographic weapon sight), and SureFire tactical weapon lights. In Season 4's "Chuck Versus Phase Three" (S4E09), John Casey (Adam Baldwin) briefly switches out an MP5A2 for the M4A1 Carbine with an Trijicon 4x ACOG scope and with a vertical fore-grip. Casey had previously held one with an EOtech sight in "Chuck Versus the Aisle of Terror".
AKM rifles can be seen wielded by Thai mercenaries in "Chuck Versus Phase Three" (S4E09). Somali pirates also wield the rifles in "Chuck Versus the Family Volkoff" (S4E20).
In Season 3's "Chuck Versus the Angel de la Muerte" (S3E03), Premier Alejandro Goya's soldiers carry AKMSUs with full black furniture. Sarah also is seen holding one in the same episode. In the Season 4 premiere "Chuck Versus the Anniversary" (S4E01), Casey refers to his commandeered AKMSU as "the best Commie rifle ever made, the AK-47".
Mr. Colt's men carry the Heckler & Koch G36C equipped with various accessories (one has a suppressor) in "Chuck Versus the First Date" (S2E01). Mercenaries armed with the G36 are taken down by Casey in "Chuck Versus Phase Three".
Malena (Lorena Bernal), aka "La Ciudad", is seen on the roof of the Wienerlicious with a scoped and suppressed Sako M995 TRG-S sniper rifle in "Chuck Versus the Tango" (S1E03).
In Season 3's "Chuck Versus the Three Words" (S3E02), hitman Karl Stromberg (Vinnie Jones) uses a Blaser R93 Sniper Rifle to wound a man who stole his case. (The name is a reference to the main villain in the James Bond film The Spy Who Loved Me).
In Season 3's "Chuck Versus the Fake Name" (S3E08), Casey uses a suppressed Remington 700 mounted on an Accuracy International Chassis System to fire a tranquilizer dart in order to capture Rafe Gruber.
In Season 3's "Chuck Versus the Fake Name" (S3E08), Chuck takes the identity of Rafe Gruber, the world's most dangerous assassin, and is taken to an apartment where an AIG Asymmetric Warrior ASW338LM is set up for a hit. The real Rafe Gruber (Johnny Messner) later is seen in the apartment and looks through the rifle's scope. John Casey finally is seen using the rifle and says apparently he's one of 5 people in the world that can make that shot.
In Season 4's "Chuck Versus the Masquerade", Casey is seen using a Barrett Model 98 Bravo sniper rifle to take down counter snipers who had surrounded Sarah.
In Season 4's "Chuck Versus the Masquerade", a .308 chambered Ruger Model 77 bolt-action rifle is used by one of the snipers that try to eliminate a target.
In Season 3's "Chuck Versus the Angel de la Muerte", Casey is seen taking out a Ithaca 37 with a nickel finish, pistol grip and extended mag barrel from a hidden compartment in his apartment. The shotguns are on the left in the compartment. Chuck tosses the Ithaca 37 to Sarah in the episode.
Ted Roark (Chevy Chase) takes what appears to be a short barrel variant of the Mossberg 500 shotgun from a fellow Fulcrum agent when crashing Ellie and Devon's wedding in Season 2's finale "Chuck vs. the Ring" (S2E22).
Preparing to leave the Castle, John Casey packs up a Minigun, lamenting that he never got to use it. He later is able to use it while rescuing Sarah and Chuck from a Ring facility in "Chuck Versus the Pink Slip" (S3E01).
Chuck's "Trank Gun" is a Baby Hi-Capa 3.8 customized with an extended chrome barrel, and a red/green laser on a bottom accessory rack. It has been modified from shooting airsoft pellets to tranquilizer darts. The ammo is varied, but most commonly used are the "10mg Darts". The darts can also be stuck manually into someone with presumably the same effect. Because of Chuck's distaste for real weapons, the team begins to use the trank guns much more often beginning in Season 4, especially on kidnapping missions. They always use the trank guns on unarmed/unsuspecting persons rather than just killing them outright. They do not use the trank guns in firefights. It has been referred to several times that the medication in the darts is Tetradotoxin (Anhydrotetrodotoxin).
"Castle", is the code name for the underground CIA/NSA substation where Sarah, Casey, Chuck, and Morgan communicate with their superiors (mainly General Diane Beckman). Castle is located underground somewhere between the former Orange-Orange and the current Buy More. It is comprised of a main area for team debriefing, a video conference room for federal debriefs comprised of a series of large computer screens, 2 prisoner wings (1 solitary, 1 bulletproof acrylic holding cells), 1 interrogation wing, a Dojo for martial arts practice, an armory with a huge selection of weapons including 3+ Casey custom SIG P229s, a shooting range, and a scientific analytical labratory, 1 wing that was used for the National Clandestine Service with maximum security holding cells, now it is used as a maximum security prisoner holding facility, and recently revealed in "Chuck vs. Agent X", a room for secret vehicle development. It is unclear how general maintenance such as changing light bulbs and sweeping the floors is up kept in this top secret base seeing as CIA and NSA headquarters are in DC and Castle is in Burbank.
In Season 3's "Chuck Versus the Nacho Sampler", a massive fictional weapons conference known as "Weap-con" features many weapons. In addition to the very prominently displayed ones, there are few that are only briefly glimpsed on weapons racks in the background.
Sarah created a mini armory in Chuck's sofa due to the "30 ft. rule" without Chuck's approval. Please note the inscription on the Trank Guns. Blurry though it may be, it reads "BABY HI-CAPA 3.8"
Throughout several episodes of the show, usually whenever Chuck "flashes" on gun-runners or other criminals, the Intersect shows him pictures of large armory rooms full of guns. All of these images are pictures of the weapons vault of Independent Studio Services, the company which supplies the weapons and other props used on Chuck. If you've ever been curious to know what a Hollywood prop house's armory looks like, now you know!
