Chuck is an American comedy spy series that stars Zachary Levi as Chuck Bartowski, an ordinary IT technician employed at the "Nerd Herd" section of the Buy More, a consumer electronics store. In a strange turn of events, the contents of the "Intersect," a government supercomputer of intelligence pooled together by all branches of the government after 9/11, is downloaded into his brain. Because he now experiences periodic flashes where his brain accesses the Intersect files, Chuck finds himself the target of evil organizations, and non-aligned countries; while members of the CIA and NSA who are assigned to protect him work undercover at the Buy More. Since Chuck and other characters have a vast knowledge of pop culture, many in-jokes are interspersed throughout the series. The series premiered in 2007 and aired for five seasons on NBC in the United States.
(Note that this page is currently being split into seasons; see Chuck (disambiguation) for each season's pages.)
The following weapons were used in the series Chuck:
Colonel John Casey (Adam Baldwin) carries a custom SIG-Sauer P229 as his sidearm. The SIG is fitted with Crimson Trace laser grips, and with the flat surfaces polished on the slide, as well as the controls, trigger, and hammer. According to dialogue from "Chuck Versus the Colonel", the gun is a 9mm. Many have confused this gun with the SIG-Sauer P229R Equinox pistol (especially elsewhere on the net). The two pistols are displayed here for comparison. Morgan Grimes (Joshua Gomez) is trained with this exact same weapon in "Chuck Versus the Role Models" (S3E15), which he identifies as a "SIG 229, 9mm, full metal jacket, with laser grips" (one of the many in-jokes in the series, as Adam Baldwin co-starred in the film Full Metal Jacket). He then explains that he learned about guns from playing first-person shooter video games.

SIG-Sauer P220 (Stainless)
A stainless SIG-Sauer P220 is seen in inside one of Carina's briefcases in "Chuck Versus the Wookie" (S1E08).
Fulcrum Agent Sylvia Arculin (Jenny McCarthy) pulls a suppressed SIG-Sauer P239 in "Chuck Versus the Suburbs" (S2E13). CIA Agent Alex Forrest (Tricia Helfer) is seen cleaning and wielding a stainless slide SIG-Sauer P239 in "Chuck Versus the Broken Heart" (S2E18).
In Season 2's "Chuck Versus the Seduction" (S2E02), Roan Montgomery (John Larroquette) is seen holding a stainless SIG-Sauer P232 on Sasha Banachek or "The Black Widow". Please note the smooth curvature of the trigger guard. Another P232 is also seen being held by him in Chuck's flash of him, when shown his file by Sarah.
In Season 1's "Chuck Versus the Wookie" (S1E04), Carina (Mini Anden) opens the trunk of her car to reveal several weapons, one being a Smith & Wesson 3913 "Ladysmith". Jill Roberts (Jordana Brewster) pulls a Ladysmith on Chuck in "Chuck Versus the Gravitron" (S2E08).
In "Chuck Versus Santa Claus" (S2E11), Lt. Frank Mauser (Michael Rooker) is armed with what appears to be a Smith & Wesson PC 945 in his hunt for Sarah in the Christmas tree lot.
In "Chuck Versus the Wookie" (S1E04), Carina (Mini Anden) opens her car's trunk to reveal several weapons, one being a stainless Colt Gold Cup National Match.
In Season 3's "Chuck Versus the Final Exam", Perry pulls a Colt Mustang from his ankle holster. In Season 3's "Chuck Versus the Other Guy", Sarah is also seen pulling the Colt Mustang.
In "Chuck Versus the Pink Slip" (S3E01), Chuck (Zachary Levi) holds the stainless railed Colt XSE 1911 in the opening mission in Prague, Czech Republic. A different Colt XSE similar to one seen in the film Mr. & Mrs. Smith is used by Leader (Patrick Kilpatrick) and Jill Roberts (Jordana Brewster) in Season 2's "Chuck Versus the Gravitron".
The FN Five-seveN is the weapon of choice for operatives of the Ring. Equipped with tactical lights on their rails, Ring spies use the FN Five-seveN in "Chuck Versus the Ring" (S2E22). A similar weapon with a laser sight is also used by Ring operative Javier Cruz (Adoni Maropis) in "Chuck Versus the Pink Slip" (S3E01) and by Sydney Prince (Angie Harmon) in "Chuck Versus Operation Awesome" (S3E04).
Several FN 49 pistols are seen used by many operatives working for Volkoff Industries in Season 4. In "Chuck Versus the Leftovers" (S4E10), Barbara (Monet Mazur) is seen threatening Casey with her handgun. In "Chuck Versus the Gobbler" (S4E12), Sarah elaborately disarms two guards of their handguns and holds them on Alexi Volkoff. Another one is seen in "Chuck Versus the Masquerade" (S4E16).
An FN49 is used by a guard protecting Vivian Volkoff in "Chuck Versus the Family Volkoff."
Laszlo Mahnovski disarms Agent Scary of his Glock 17 in the opening scene of "Chuck Versus the Sandworm" (S1E06). In "Chuck Versus the Break-Up" (S2E18), CIA Agent Alex Forrest (Tricia Helfer) is seen using a Glock variant to fire tranquilizer darts. Several Glock 17's (sometimes with suppressors) are also used by Fulcrum agents in "Chuck Versus the Colonel" and "Chuck Versus the Ring".
The Glock 17 variant with the stainless slide is a frequent weapon often dual-wielded by spies in the series. MI6 agent Cole Barker (Jonathan Cake) is seen dual-wielding stainless slide Glocks in "Chuck Versus the Beefcake". In "Chuck Versus the A-Team", Captain Victoria Dunwoody (Stacy Keibler) also dual-wields stainless slide Glocks.
The Glock 21 (suppressed and unsuppressed) is used by Vincent Smith (Arnold Vosloo) in several Season 2 episodes including "Chuck Versus the Dream Job" and "Chuck Versus the Colonel". Both Sarah and Casey take Glocks off of Fulcrum agents and point them at each other in "Chuck Versus the Colonel".
What appears to be a Glock 26 modified to fire tranquilizer darts is used by Chuck in "Chuck Versus the Dream Job". In "Chuck Versus the Break-Up" (S2E18), CIA Agent Alex Forrest (Tricia Helfer) also is seen using the Glock variant to fire tranquilizer darts.
An undercover MI-6 agent is carrying a suppressed Heckler & Koch USP in "Chuck Versus the Tango" (S1E03). Also, one of the sheik's associates wields this pistol in "Chuck Versus the DeLorean" (S2E10).
The USP with a stainless slide is also a frequently used handgun in the series. In Season 2's "Chuck Versus the Predator" (S2E19), Vincent Smith (Arnold Vosloo) holds Chuck at gunpoint with this USP variant.
Peyman Alahi and his henchmen draw their Chrome Silver and Gold IMI Desert Eagle Mark I throughout "Chuck Versus the Wookie" (S1E04). It is very likely that the gold Desert Eagle wielded by Peyman Alahi was one of the same guns built for Austin Powers in Goldmember, although the ivory grips were removed for this series. Independent Studio Services, the armorers who supplied the weapons for Chuck, also supplied weapons to Goldmember.

Alejandro Goya (Armand Assante) carries a stainless Makarov as his sidearm as seen in "Chuck Versus the Coup d'Etat" (S4E03).
Two nickel-plated Norinco Type 54s are used by Mei-Ling Chou (Gwendoline Yeo) while trying to free her brother from the Chinese mafia in "Chuck Versus the Sizzling Shrimp" (S1E05). Later in the episode, she uses this pistol to hold Chuck at gunpoint. (Bizarrely, while observing from inside their SUV, Casey somehow mistakes these twin pistols for Glocks. After a flash, Chuck corrects Casey, explaining that they are "Chinese Army-issue pistols".)
In Season 1's "Chuck Versus the Tango" (S1E03), La Ciudad (Lorena Bernal) uses a suppressed Ruger KP90 during the shootout at the art auction. A suppressed Ruger is held in Season 2's "Chuck Versus the Lethal Weapon".
Alexander Winterborne (Mark Pellegrino) under the guise of working for "Tuttle Electric" pulls a silver Safari Arms Matchmaster .45ACP with a silver suppressor and wood grips in "Chuck Versus the Fat Lady" (S2E07). He is seen later holding Jill Roberts (Jordana Brewster) hostage with it.
Bryce Larkin (Matthew Bomer) holds a Taurus PT92AFS at Chuck and Sarah after breaking into Casey's apartment in "Chuck Versus the Nemesis" (S1E10). Sarah also wields one in "Chuck Versus the Alma Mater".
What appears to be a heavily customized Walther P99 is featured prominently in Season 1's "Chuck Versus the Imported Hard Salami". The weapon is also seen hanging in Casey's apartment arsenal as well as in the Castle. Since the handgun isn't seen fired, the P99 is most likely the Walther Nighthawk, a CO2 airgun.
In Season 2's "Chuck Versus Santa Clause", Noseless Ned Ryerson pulls what appears to be a Smith & Wesson Model 625 to hold Chuck and the others hostage in the Buy More. Devon Woodcomb (Ryan McPartlin) is later seen holding the revolver.
In the pilot episode as Bryce Larkin is stealing the Intersect computer, numerous members of the CIA's security detail carry the Heckler & Koch MP5A2 with SureFire dedicated forend weaponlights.

In "Chuck Versus the First Date" (S2E01), the men employed by Mr. Colt (Michael Clarke Duncan) are armed with MAC-11 submachine guns fitted with suppressors when they confront Chuck and Sarah at the Chinese restaurant.
An armed sentry (presumably US Army) is seen holding a Colt M4A1 in "Chuck Versus the Helicopter" (S1E02). In several episodes, members of the CIA strike team can also be seen carrying the M4A1, often outfitted with a variety of optics (Trijicon 4x ACOG scope, Aimpoint CompM2 red dot, and/or EOTech 552 holographic weapon sight), and SureFire tactical weapon lights. In Season 4's "Chuck Versus Phase Three" (S4E09), John Casey (Adam Baldwin) briefly switches out an MP5A2 for the M4A1 Carbine with an Trijicon 4x ACOG scope and with a vertical fore-grip. Casey had previously held one with an EOTech sight in "Chuck Versus the Aisle of Terror".
AKM rifles can be seen wielded by Thai mercenaries in "Chuck Versus Phase Three" (S4E09). Somali pirates also wield the rifles in "Chuck Versus the Family Volkoff" (S4E20).

Malena (Lorena Bernal), aka "La Ciudad", is seen on the roof of the Wienerlicious with a scoped and suppressed Sako M995 TRG-S sniper rifle in "Chuck Versus the Tango" (S1E03).
In Season 3's "Chuck Versus the Three Words" (S3E02), hitman Karl Stromberg (Vinnie Jones) uses a Blaser R93 Sniper Rifle to wound a man who stole his case. (The name is a reference to the main villain in the James Bond film The Spy Who Loved Me.) Sarah uses one taken off a sniper in "Chuck Versus the Fat Lady" (S2E07). Gertrude Verbanski uses an R93 to cover Chuck & Sarah during a mission in "Chuck Versus The Hack Off."
In Season 3's "Chuck Versus the Fake Name" (S3E08), Casey uses a suppressed Remington 700 mounted on an Accuracy International Chassis System to fire a tranquilizer dart in order to capture Rafe Gruber.
In Season 3's "Chuck Versus the Fake Name" (S3E08), Chuck takes the identity of Rafe Gruber, the world's most dangerous assassin, and is taken to an apartment where an AIG Asymmetric Warrior ASW338LM is set up for a hit. The real Rafe Gruber (Johnny Messner) later is seen in the apartment and looks through the rifle's scope. John Casey finally is seen using the rifle and says apparently he's one of 5 people in the world that can make that shot.
In Season 4's "Chuck Versus the Masquerade", Casey is seen using a Barrett Model 98 Bravo sniper rifle to take down counter snipers who had surrounded Sarah.
In Season 4's "Chuck Versus the Masquerade", a .308 chambered Ruger Model 77 bolt-action rifle is used by one of the snipers that try to eliminate a target.
In Season 3's "Chuck Versus the Angel de la Muerte", Casey is seen taking out a Ithaca 37 with a nickel finish, pistol grip and extended mag barrel from a hidden compartment in his apartment. The shotguns are on the left in the compartment. Chuck tosses the Ithaca 37 to Sarah in the episode.
When an intruder is detected in "Castle", Sarah picks up a Mossberg 590 Cruiser fitted with a heat shield in Season 2's "Chuck Versus the Lethal Weapon" (S2E16).
Ted Roark (Chevy Chase) takes what appears to be a short barrel variant of the Mossberg 590A1 shotgun from a fellow Fulcrum agent when crashing Ellie and Devon's wedding in Season 2's finale "Chuck Versus the Ring" (S2E22).
Casey uses what appears to be the Remington 870 Tactical model in "Chuck Versus the Muuurder" (S4E19). His Remington is fitted with a heat shield, EOTech sight, saddle shell holder, weaponlight and a Magpul stock.
A Smith & Wesson 3000 Shotgun with a sawed off stock is used by a gunman who holds up a convenience store in "Chuck Versus the Bearded Bandit". It's later held by Chuck.
In Season 5's "Chuck Versus the Bearded Bandit" (S5E02), Casey is seen carrying a 12 gauge O/U Shotgun while disguised as a hunter. He is later seen holding the shotgun inside the house.
Preparing to leave the Castle, John Casey packs up a handheld configuration of the M134 Minigun, lamenting that he never got to use it. He later is able to use it while rescuing Sarah and Chuck from a Ring facility in "Chuck Versus the Pink Slip" (S3E01). In "Chuck Versus the Beefcake", a UH-60 Black Hawk armed with dual miniguns opens fire on Chuck and Sarah. In "Chuck Versus the Leftovers" (S4E10), several miniguns are activated at the Buy More when Volkoff enters the store.
In "Chuck Versus the Family Volkoff" (S4E20), M240 Machine Guns are set up as a security measure in the vault that Alexei Volkoff tries to disable by winning a game of chess.
Lon Kirk fires a mockup of an M3 Carl Gustav Recoilless Rifle identified in the episode as an "M2 84mm Rocket Launcher" by Casey, at a ship carrying not only counterfeiting plates, but also Morgan and Anna in "Chuck Versus the Crown Vic" (S1E11). In Season 4's "Chuck Versus the Seduction Impossible" (S4E22), Brigadier General Diane Beckman (Bonita Friedericy) also uses the launcher. This prop appears to have been used as well in the series NCIS and NCIS: Los Angeles.
Mrs. Winterbottom creates an IED out of a block of MI6-issue PE4 (a British plastic explosive very similar to C4) and an M26 hand grenade to "scuffle the house" in "Chuck Versus Agent X." She attaches the pin to a spool of yarn and proceeds to dash out of the house with Team Bartowski.
The "Trank Gun" frequently seen used by Chuck in the series is an airsoft handgun known as the Baby Hi-Capa 3.8. The airsoft pistol is customized to fire tranquilizer darts with the standard "Green Gas" rather than airsoft pellets. It is also customized with an extended barrel due to painting over the orange tip (required by US law), with metallic silver paint. A red or green laser sometimes accompanies the gun on it's bottom accessory rack. The ammunition is varied, but most commonly used are the "10mg Darts". The darts can also be stuck manually into someone to gain the same effect. It has been referred to several times that the medication in the darts is a diluted Tetradotoxin (Anhydrotetrodotoxin) solution. There is another kind of dart that has a fast-acting small dose of Ketamine. The vents on the slide indicate that it is a Type 8. Because of Chuck's distaste for real weapons, the team begins to use the trank guns much more often beginning in Season 4, especially on kidnapping missions. The trank guns are often used on unarmed/unsuspecting persons instead of more lethal weapons.
In Season 1's "Chuck Versus the Helicopter", another tranquilizer dart weapon appears, and looks to have been built up from an M16-type receiver. This same Tranquilizer gun was earlier used to tranq Casey.
A type of syringe gun is used to tranq Chuck, and get him out of the presence of General Beckmann, in "Chuck Versus the Pink Slip" (S3E01). A similar prop was used in the film Mission: Impossible III.
Casey's Buy More acceptable covert weapon of choice hidden inside a barcode scanner. First seen in Season 2's "Chuck Versus the Cougars", the weapon appears to be a stainless slide Glock 17 (due to the external extractor on the slide).

Armories and Gun Displays
"Castle"
"Castle", is the code name for the underground CIA/NSA substation where Sarah, Casey, Chuck, and Morgan communicate with their superiors (mainly General Diane Beckman). Castle is located underground somewhere between the former Orange-Orange and the current Buy More. It is comprised of a main area for team debriefing, a video conference room for federal debriefs comprised of a series of large computer screens, 2 prisoner wings (1 solitary, 1 bulletproof acrylic holding cells), 1 interrogation wing, a Dojo for martial arts practice, an armory with a huge selection of weapons including 3+ Casey custom SIG P229s, a shooting range, and a scientific analytical labratory, 1 wing that was used for the National Clandestine Service with maximum security holding cells, now it is used as a maximum security prisoner holding facility, and recently revealed in "Chuck Versus Agent X", a room for secret vehicle development.

"Weap-con"
In Season 3's "Chuck Versus the Nacho Sampler", a massive fictional weapons conference known as "Weap-con" features many weapons. In addition to the very prominently displayed ones, there are few that are only briefly glimpsed on weapons racks in the background.
Sarah created a mini armory in Chuck's sofa due to the "30 ft. rule" without Chuck's approval. Please note the inscription on the Tranq Guns. Blurry though it may be, it reads "BABY HI-CAPA 3.8"
In Season 4's "Chuck Versus the Muuurder", the agents participating in the exercise at Castle are told to give up all their weapons, which results in a massive pile of handguns.
Throughout several episodes of the show, usually whenever Chuck "flashes" on gun-runners or other criminals, the Intersect shows him pictures of large armory rooms full of guns. All of these images are pictures of the weapons vault of Independent Studio Services, the company which supplies the weapons and other props used on Chuck. If you've ever been curious to know what a Hollywood prop house's armory looks like, now you know!
