Talk:Mission: Impossible - Season 1: Difference between revisions
I can't tell from the image, but having watched the show during its original I always thought these were Astra 600 in 9mm Luger. At that time, the 600 was was plentiful and cheap( I remember ads for $25) Tecolote 12:17 May 29 2013
I'm in the tail end of Season 1, and I haven't come across any yet. According to the page, the 9mm ones have a lanyard ring rather than a heel mag release. I'll keep an eye out for it. --Funkychinaman (talk) 12:25, 28 May 2013 (EDT)
Smith & Wesson Model 36
The Smith & Wesson Model 36 is also a frequent handgun used by IMF Agents and gangsters in the series.
The Madsen M50 is also seen in the series carried by foreign troops. In Season 2's "The Slave (Part 1)" (S2E05), a camera is concealed in a specially modified Madsen M50 carried by Barney.
The Karabiner 98k rifle is seen used by a firing squad in Season 5 "The Hostage".

The rifle closest to the camera is a Czech-made Kar98k rifle (note the winter trigger guard on the rifle, a common feature on WWII and post-war Czech manufactured Kar98k rifles).
The M1 Garand is a frequent weapon seen in the hands of guards and soldiers in the series. In Season 5's "The Rebel", a Latin American soldier is armed with an M1 Garand.
The M1 Carbine is another frequently used weapon by foreign guards and soldiers in the series. In Season 1's "Action!" (S1E23), actors portraying American troops in fake documentary footage are armed with the M1 Carbine.
I ran across a weird Mauser in two consecutive episodes. The show had previously used K98ks, except this has a straight bolt handle, BUT, it has a cutout in the stock as if it was meant to have a bent bolt handle. Are bolts interchangeable? Is this just some weird hybrid? It doesn't appear to be a one-off. --Funkychinaman (talk) 20:30, 27 May 2013 (EDT)
I looked on some Mauser forums, and apparently the Russians reconditioned a bunch of captured K98ks with straight bolt handles. I don't know about their availability in the late sixties though. --Funkychinaman (talk) 19:31, 29 May 2013 (EDT)
