The Equalizer (1985)
The Equalizer stared Edqard Woodward as Robert McCall, a fed up, burnt out former spy who worked for "The Company." Like all good spy shows The Equalizer featured state of the art technology which showed in the weapons. McCall always relied on his PPK but you would see Spas 12s, MP5s and other top of the line weaponry of the time. The following guns are used in the television series The Equalizer:
Handguns
Walther PP Pistol Series
Robert McCall (Edward Woodward) carries a Walther PP series pistol as his main sidearm in the Pilot episode. Throughout the series, his chief sidearm is the Walther PPK. McCall always cleanly dispatches his foes with one well placed shot usually after giving them some chance to surrender.
Beretta 92
A Beretta 92 is seen in the episode "Out of the Past", Walter Wesley (played by Berry Primus) says, "Even if I don't know how to use this thing it makes me feel better having it around", not a good theory. I believe this is an early European version because it has the safety selector on the frame and it appears to lack the frame mounted magazine release.
Stechkin APS
A Stechkin APS is briefly seen in the hands of an assassin during a flash forward in the episode The Confirmation Day.
Desert Eagle
McCall is seen using a Desert Eagle in several episodes.
1911
1911s are seen in several episodes. In "Dead Drop" a 1911 with a silencer and scope is used to kill an assassin.
Heckler & Koch VP70 Z
Tony Shalhoub plays a terrorist in the episode "Breakpoint" in which he is seen carrying a Heckler & Koch VP70-Z.
Smith & Wesson Model 39
In "No Conscience" McCall is seen loading a stainless steel version of the Smith & Wesson Model 39 (I can't remember if there was a different model number for the stainless version). The magazine is clearly a single stack magazine. McCall only uses the pistol as a decoy for the bad guys to find. After finding the Smith they assume McCall is unarmed, McCall then reveals his trusty PPK is in an ankle holster which he uses to dispatch two of the villians.
Tokarev TT-33
Dan Hedaya removes a Tokarev TT-33 from a foot locker along with several medals from the Vietnam war. McCall identifies it as a Tokarev 7.62mm that was liberated and advises Hedaya against using it to commit suicide because "that ammunition is notoriously unreliable" and may not finish the job.
Ruger Mk II Pistol
A silenced Ruger Mk II Pistol is seen in several episodes.
Colt Python
Mickey is seen carrying a short barreled Colt Python in several episodes. On one occasion when he has to shoot it it magically transforms into a Smith & Wesson.
22 Long Rifle Pen Gun
In the episode "Breakpoint" Control tries to smuggle a 22 Long Rifle Pen Gun to McCall. Tony Shalhoub's character discovers it and uses it to shoot a hostage.
Smith & Wesson M&P 10
The S&W MP 10 shows itself in many episodes as the standard sidearm for the New York Police Department. Karen Young uses one as her duty weapon in "Lady Cop."
Shotguns
Remington 870
McCall uses a modified Remington 870 in an early version of a shoot/don't shoot simulator in the episode "Desperately." The 870 is seen in several other episodes.
Ithaca 37
Ithaca 37s are wielded by police and henchmen.
SPAS 12
A SPAS 12 can be seen in McCall's secret cache of weapons in the pilot episode.
Submachine Guns
Uzi
The Uzi is featured in several episodes.
Micro Uzi
The Micro Uzi is also featured in several episodes.
MP5
An MP5 is seen in the Dead Drop.
Rifles
M1 Carbine
McCall uses an M1 Carbine in the Pilot Episode.
Galil
A Galil is seen in the episode "Dead Drop".
Unknown Sniper Rifle
Mickey Keith Szarabajka uses what appears to be a Blaser straight pull rifle in the episode Dead Drop. In the episode "Wash-Up" the rifle is seen again. It appears to be a highly modified sniper rifle that we see broke down into several parts so that it fits in a brief case. The bolt handle is far forward on the bolt much like a straight pull Mauser or Blaser. However, we see McCall work the bolt like a traditional bolt action rifle.
AK Series
AK-47s, both underfolder and fixed stock, can be seen in the hands of Warsaw Pact soldiers in the episode "Torn".
Ruger Mini-14
Ruger Mini-14 GBs are seen in the episode "Torn".
Other
Rambo's Survival Knife
An arms smuggler offers Rambo's Survival Knife (First Blood) to Stephen McHattie for $100 when McHattie can't afford $500 for an illegal gun. The arms dealer even says, "This is made by some dude down in Arkansas." Refering to Jimmy Lile the designer of the First Blood knives.
