Sanctuary cast for season 2 onwards.

Sanctuary is a Canadian Science Fiction television show that airs on the the Sci-Fi Channel (Now calling themselves Syfy). It premiered in 2007 and was originally a series of 8 webisodes which were sold directly to viewers through the official website. Thanks to its success on the intenet, the Syfy channel commissioned a 13 episode series for 2008, with the first 4 webisodes being re-cut and re-shot into the two hour pilot. Since then two fourth series have been shot (season 2 with 13 episodes and season 3 with 20) and talks are currently ongoing for a forth. The show is groundbreaking in that the majority of the backgrounds and sets are virtual. The actors do all of their work on massive green screen sets and nearly nothing that is seen in the show (other than the actors) actually exist outside the parameters of CGI art software. The show is also notable as being the first television show in North America to use the RED camera exclusively, with all material being recorded digitally eliminating tape from the process completely.

The weapons seen in this TV Series are:


Colt Commander

A Colt Commander is the normal side arm of Dr Helen Magnus (Amanda Tapping) for the majority of the series. It can be distinguished from a regular 1911 by its slightly shorter barrel, and rounded hammer with a hole through it. It has been used on occasion to fire special tranquilliser bullets.

Glock 17 RAM

What appears to be a Glock 17 Real Action Marker (paint ball gun) is used in “Sleepers” (Season 2, Episode 10). It is likely that the reason for this was that the gun was fired very close to an actors head, and the compressed air action of this type of weapon means that the action cycles, recoil is created, and a blast of air is created with minimal risk to the actor due to lack of pyrotechnics.
