A science Fiction show in 1995, created by James Wong and Glen Morgan, concerning the adventures of the 'Wild Cards', a group of US Marines who must fight an alien threat to the human race.
The Following weapons were used in the show:
M590 Assault Rifle aka "Ruger Mini-14"
- The Primary weapon of the USMC in the future (mid/late 21st century) is the fictional M590 Assault Rifle. The real firearm was a Ruger Mini-14 hidden in a custom fabricated shell. In the show the Marines only fired the weapon semi Auto, so the rifles inside were most likely Mini-14s only, and not AC556s. This prop rifle would later be used again in The X-Files episode "First Person Shooter" as one of the many weapons available to gamers in the virtural reality game of the episode's name.
M70 Pistol aka "Glock 17L"
- The Primary Sidearm of the Space Marines was the Fictional M70 Pistol, which was in reality a Glock 17L with an extended threaded barrel with an AR15 birdcage flashhider attached, along with some other clever additions to mask the gun's identity.
Desert Eagle
- Lt. Colonel T.C. McQueen (James Morrison) is seen in several episodes carrying a Desert Eagle pistol (caliber unknown). Cooper Hawkes can also be seen with a Desert Eagle handgun in the Pilot episode when he pointed a Desert Eagle at the head of a captured Chig pilot.
H&K SR9-T
- Used by Cooper Hawkes on a solo covert ops mission.
Heckler & Koch MP5SD3
- Used by the Marines in a night time covert ops mission. The MP5SD3 was also used by the Silicates on numerous occasions.
MAC-10
- Used by Silicates at the mining facility (Season 1, Episode 9)
Steyr AUG
- Used by various characters throughout the series.
Heckler & Koch MP5A3
- Seen in the Pilot episode in the hands of the Security personnel when they searched the Telus colony spacecraft before the launch.
Chig Battle Axe/Rifle combo
- Fictional 'firearm' developed entirely from fibreglass and is not based on a live firearm.
