FBI Agent Renee Walker's sidearm

Can someone clear this up?

Is Renee Walker's sidearm Glock 23 or Glock 17? (I think someone actually listed her sidearm at Glock 17 in the Glock page).

Thanks in advance.

Agent Walker's sidearm is a compact model she doe's not use a Glock 17. She is either using a Glock 23 or Glock 19 I'm still confirming the caliber once I look at the bore of the barrel you could just leave the Glock page blank of all 24 activity until I finish rescreencapping Season 7. However I still estimate I'll be done with Season 7 within 2 weeks.

Whoever keeps changing this back to a Glock 23 is wrong in episode 3 you can look at the barrel of it it is clearly a 9mm not 40 cal thus making it a Glock 19 not a Glock 23. Plus look at Annie Wershing hands they couldn't handle a 40.

If the actress is using blank ammunition it does not matter whether her hands can handle the recoil of the firearm. Since January 1998, all new agents are trained on the 10×21mm (.40 S&W) Glock 22 pistols, with the smaller 10×21mm (.40 S&W) Glock 23 for those who prefer it. The ultra-compact 10×21mm (.40 S&W) Glock 27 is authorized as concealed backup. Older agents continue to field their SIG-Sauer pistols, if they wish, and even new agents can switch to the 9×19mm guns if they qualify with them. Until Season 7 is finished please post all comments on the discussions page and wait for confirmation from the screencaps.

You're thinking about it the wrong way. This is a TV show, not real life. Just because the FBI uses the Glock 22/23 in real life doesn't mean the same is true in this show. The Secret Service agents in this show use SIG P228s instead of 299R DAKs (their current real-life issue).

In Hollywood, most of the semi-auto pistols used are 9mms, because there was a time when gunsmiths in the industry found this caliber to be the most reliable with blanks. Armorers didn't start using newer calibers until fairly recently. When in doubt, we tend to assume a pistol used in a movie is a 9mm, and it's a safe bet here. If the armorer who worked on this show cared THAT much about realism, then they probably would have given the USSS agents the correct sidearm. That they didn't makes me pretty sure that Agent Walker's Glock is probably a 9mm G19. -MT2008

Live Free or Die Hard Armorer

Aside from the gun calibers has anybody noticed that this show uses the same guns as Live Free or Die Hard? I'm now thinking that if this is the same armorer that supplied Die Hard 4 and since gunmaster has identified the Glock 22's it's not so hard to believe that 24 may also be using .40S&W compatible firearms. I've only realized this since season 5.

This show does not use the same weapons as Live Free or Die Hard. The weapons for that movie were rented mostly from Stembridge & Cinema Weaponry. I'm pretty sure that 24's weapons come mostly from Independent Studio Services (or at least, they did in the 7th season). Anyway, I've told you before: Unless you have some way of confirming it, you should assume that the Glocks in the show are 9mms. If the propmaster that worked on the show was going for realism (meaning, the correct Glock model for the FBI), then why did they use SIG P228s, which in real life are not used by the Secret Service anymore? -MT2008

Yes I already know about that I just realized that after the 5th season of 24. It has had 13/21 weapons used by Live Free or Die Hard including 2 rare models that are just not seen very much on IMFDB. Especially the Beretta 92G Elite 1A used in Season 7. It was just interesting thing I couldn't get off my head. Thanks for clearing it up I have never heard of Stembridge & Cinema Weaponry before.

Breaking up page by Seasons

How do people feel about breaking up this page by Season (much like Miami Vice)? Being that this show will be beginning its 8th season soon, it might be the time. --Ben41 23:12, 29 December 2009 (UTC)

I support the idea very much. If this page gets polished in near future, 8 seasons worth of guns and screencaps is going to be a bitch to read. - AlkoTanko

Perhaps when someone gets more guns caps. A lot of the guns don't have screen caps Excalibur01

At the moment, seasons 1 and 7 could probably have their own separate pages, but the rest of the seasons are incomplete. --Markit 19:28, 31 December 2009 (UTC)

I own seasons 1-4 so I may start screencapping sometime, however at the moment I'm kinda swamped with schoolwork. --Lews 04:29, 8 January 2010 (UTC)

I'm thinking about doing a re-vamp of Season 1 (though I'm trying to squeeze that and Chuck onto my plate). When I do, I'll probably take it out and make it into its own page. -MT2008 20:23, 9 January 2010 (UTC)

Well I just finished screencapping Season 2, and I think that's pretty much ready to be seperated, and I should be able to start on Season 3 withing a few days. Season 7 is also definitely ready, and I do agree that Season 1 is in need of a bit of a re-vamp. While I'm here, anyone noticed anything I've missed with Season 2? Might as well finish it off while I'm at it... -- BillBuchanan24 16:10, 20 January 2010 (UTC)

Both Tony and Yusef have Beretta 92FS Inox pistols, Jack gives Kate a Beretta 9000s when they're leaving the warehouse with that Coral Snake guy, The Coral Snake guy had a 1911 pistol along with his uzi, and Kingsley used a pistol in an attempt to kill Jack around the end of the finale, that's all I can think of. --Pølaris 03:58, 22 January 2010 (UTC)

Thanks Pølaris! I'll screencap those now... Looking at it now, might need a little help ID'ing Wallace's 1911... Don't seem to be too many clear frames... Thanks again mate.

Kingsley used a Walther P99.

Season 7 glock 19

For some reason, the following screencaps are missing, so I'm putting them here until someone can reupload. --Ben41 10:54, 2 January 2010 (UTC)

There are no missing screencaps the real links are named Glock 23 after the "24S7E3". Not Glock 19. 5 weeks ago a anonymous user kept on changing the Glock 23 pictures and title to a Glock 19. I posted a message on his IP Address (not that he ever received it) to stop changing the title and pictures. He changed all the the links including the picture names to "Glock 19". Until I am finished screencapping Season 7 probably until late January nobody should edit Season 7. Based on his lack of editing skills and not checking his work I assume his experience is insufficient. I do not want to ban 24 off limits to anonymous users because there have been some great help in identifying firearms. If you can please ban IP Address 68.53.41.248! --HKFan 12:43, 2 January 2010 (UTC)

I fixed the links. Someone needs to move them back to the main page, I'm not sure where they need to go. --Predator20 21:22, 2 January 2010 (UTC)

Bazahaev's shotgun

Does anybody know what kind of shotgun Sergei used on jack? it had a folding stock SPAS 12 style but the action was all wrong. 65.29.239.251 05:55, 17 February 2010 (UTC)

My guess is a Remington 870 with folding stock and extended magazine tube. --Crazycrankle 14:29, 16 February 2010 (UTC)

Remington 870 Police Folder with extended magazine tube - stock extended - 12 gauge

No, I'm pretty sure it was a SPAS 12. For some reason, Bazahaev chose to cycle it manually. The episode is on Hulu right now if someone want to check it out. --Funkychinaman 21:28, 16 February 2010 (UTC)

I'm siding with Crazycrankle on this one. The stock did look like it came off of a SPAS-12, but the rest of the gun looked nothing like a Spas to me. --Clutch 21:46, 16 February 2010 (UTC)

I uploaded two screenshots I grabbed from Hulu. (I hope that's okay from a legal standpoint. If it's not, I apologize.)It's a bit dark, and the images are a bit blurry, but I'm not really sure anymore. --Funkychinaman 23:28, 16 February 2010 (UTC)

Notice the differences/similarities. Looks like a SPAS-12 stock, and a 870 everything else. The whole design of the SPAS-12 is rather unique in my mind, this looks rather generic. The images are rather low quality, apologies. --Crazycrankle 05:00, 17 February 2010 (UTC)

...But ...That doesn't even look close to a SPAS-12 stock. It has neither the squared-off buttpad, nor the holes in the sides of the strut. It looks like a run-o'-the-mill 870 Police folding stock...--PistolJunkie 05:12, 17 February 2010 (UTC)

Heh, I was looking at the top of the stock, not the sides. Oops, but oh well. Unmodified 870 folder it is. --Crazycrankle 05:21, 17 February 2010 (UTC)

Wow, those shots are pretty clear. Well, that clinches it. Remington 870 it is. --Funkychinaman 05:40, 17 February 2010 (UTC)

Sergei's guard

One of the guards that kidnapped Jack had what looked like an HK MP5k, but I never saw a paddle mag release so i'm thinking SP89 mocked up? 65.29.239.251 05:55, 17 February 2010 (UTC)

S8 - 1am - 2am

Just watched this episode.

A Small Pistol was hidden in a car along with a handcuff key.

Saw a CTU Agent forced to give up his Glock, standard size model.

Other CTU Agents carried what looked like M933 with foregrips and c-more sights.

Looked like Terrorists were using a similar weapon to the M933.

The small pistol; looks to be a PPK, and their not 933's, just standard M4's. Glock 17's appear to be CTU standard issue so it's safe to assume that's what it was. --Crazycrankle 23:57, 2 March 2010 (UTC)

Series run

Anyone ideas how many seasons this good show will run for?? And why M4s weren't issued to CTU until the third season?

Kiefer Sutherland

How come they never give Kiefer Sutherland any action movies with drama in it?

Maybe he's not a good actor? My only problem with Kiefer is that after 7 seasons of firing guns, he still flinches all the time.--Pølaris 03:47, 14 March 2010 (UTC)

As we've explained before, blanks have far more flash than live rounds. It's pretty hard not to flinch. -MT2008 14:53, 16 March 2010 (UTC)

I noticed his blinking during the first few episodes of this season. I think it has more to do with the loud bang than the muzzle flash. They can't wear a big set of ear muffs, so they have to wear small plugs that barely muffle the sound. Also blinking is different than flinching. Flinching is when you close your eyes before you even fire, at least that's the way I see it. --Predator20 16:59, 16 March 2010 (UTC)

I had no idea blanks produced a bigger flash.--Pølaris 17:47, 22 March 2010 (UTC)

24 of 24?

Is there gonna be 24 seasons of this show?

Kiefer Sutherland will be close to 60, if there is 24 seasons in this show.

So...?

If the show continues to have high ratings, then maybe.

Seriously? 24 seasons? Would be a first. Stargate is one of the only shows I've seen that has 10 seasons. A show is lucky to survive 4 seasons. Let alone 8 (24 now), 9 (Smallville), 10 (Stargate) Excalibur01 19:41, 22 March 2010 (UTC)

10 and it's only SG-1, not counting other shows from Stargate universe.
