Revision as of 17:02, 25 May 2013
The following guns were used in the movie Alien Nation:
Benelli M1 Super 90 Shotgun
A modified Benelli M1 Super 90 Shotgun is used by Rudyard Kipling (Kevyn Major Howard) at the beginning of the film. The shotgun is fitted with a pistol grip stock, extended magazine tube, rifle sights and modified for the movie to use box or drum magazines, used by the "Slag" robbers at the beginning of the movie.
Ruger AC556
The 2nd Slag gunman at the beginning of the film discards his Remington 870 short shotgun and uses a Ruger AC556 with an aftermarket synthetic pistol grip stock. Later he throws down the AC556 from his perch on a L.A. Billboard. It is replaced with a rubber casting of the weapon at this point.
Micro Uzi
A Micro Uzi is carried by the human henchman during the first robbery heist.
Beretta 92FS
Det. Matthew Sykes (James Caan) at the beginning of the film uses a Beretta 92FS. He fires this in 2 volleys at an advancing newcomer who is hyped up on an alien drug. The first volley is about 10 rounds and has little effect. It offers nearly zero stopping power. The second volley is 8 to 9 rounds, and manages to stop the new comer just before he reaches Sykes.
Smith & Wesson 659
Det. Bill Tuggle (Roger Aaron Brown) carries a Smith & Wesson 659 pistol at the beginning of the film.
Freedom Arms Model 83 Revolver
Upset over the lower power his 92FS offered in stopping a newcomer, Det. Sgt. Matthew Sykes (James Caan) trades out his Beretta 92FS and picks up a Freedom Arms Model 83 Revolver chambered in .454 Casull. This is much more powerful, as they demonstrate on the range. The Model 83 appears to be the premiere grade. Freedom arms offers two grades of the Model 83 (and the shorter barreled Model 97). The Field grade has a matte stainless finish, the Premiere grade has a high polish stainless finish.
Remington 870 Shotgun
A full sized Remington 870 police shotgun is used by Det. George Francisco (Mandy Patinkin) when he is pursuing the mutated slag monster. Also a short barreled Remington 870 with a synthetic black pistol grip (with no stock) is used by the 2nd Newcomer robber at the beginning of the film.
Commercial M1911A1
An M1911A1 is carried by Rudyard Kipling (Kevyn Major Howard).
Smith & Wesson Model 586
One of the human henchmen carries a 4" barreled Smith & Wesson Model 586 (.357 magnum) Revolver.
Smith & Wesson Model 10
A female police officer at the Police Target range is seen using a standard Smith & Wesson Model 10. It is not unrealistic for a woman officer (in the 1980s) to choose a smaller caliber round than her male counterparts.
Smith & Wesson Model 27
A plainclothes LAPD detective appears to have a Smith & Wesson Model 27 Snub.
Smith & Wesson Model 28
The LAPD Officers in uniform all carry what seems to be Smith & Wesson Model 28 revolvers .
Unknown Snub Nose Revolver
Detective Francisco (Mandy Patinkin) pulls out his backup revolver, but it is too dark to determine what it is.
