Beretta in Pilot
Is there really a Beretta 92FS in the Pilot episode of the show? I just watched it, and the only guns I saw were the S&W 3913 "Ladysmith" used by Lex's right-hand woman, and a full-size Uzi submachine gun used by her henchman. -MT2008
3913
I saw you asked somewhere else about my ladysmith comment, so I'll go a little more indepth about it. I should note that I'm basing my opinion solely on your screenshot because for some reason I only have season 2 on DVD, season 1 seems to have flown up up and away. And what good is watching the series again if I don't start at the beginning? Anyways...
Here is a 3913LS from same side as the screenshot, http://i206.photobucket.com/albums/bb319/bamafan1977/IMG_0010-1.jpg (random internet pic) Note the location of Lady Smith to the ejection port and the bottom of the slide. Yet it isn't there in the screenshot. The NL is the exact same gun, just without the laser etched Lady Smith on the side. http://img5.ranchoweb.com/images/mbear53/s26w3913-4.jpg (random internet pic)

S&W 3912 Ladysmith
The slide isn't marked "Lady Smith", which would make it a 3913 NL, which stands for not-ladysmith or so the rumor goes. It was made for men who wanted to carry the gun but not be marked sissy pistol. It's the exact same gun, just different marking. --Zurak 47 15:37, 22 August 2009 (UTC)
Beretta 92FS
Wow, I wouldn't trust that berreta! The safety/decocker is engaged... yet the hammer is still cocked and the trigger is in the single action position? Something is seriously wrong here! Good thing he's putting it away, but maybe he shouldn't be placing his finger on the trigger of this malfuctioning sidearm... --Zurak 47 20:45, 22 August 2009 (UTC)
- Are you sure your eye didn't slip? The safety does not seem to be engaged. Look closely at it again. -MT2008
Maybe it's the angle of the gun, but it looks to be pointed 45 degrees downward, on safe. Rummages through the safe looing for my old berreta, yeah.. I guess you're right, my mistake.
- Yeah, it's definitely not down in that picture, it's just the angle. But even if this Beretta were damaged so that the safety was engaged and the hammer was still able to be cocked (and I'm not even sure that's possible), it wouldn't matter because the Beretta's safety rotates the firing pin 90 degrees away from the hammer. What that means is that it still won't fire even if the hammer were somehow released with enough force to ignite the primer while the gun was on safety. -MT2008

I think that these soldiers are armed with either the M16A2 or the M16A4 as the U.S. Military no longered used the earlier M16s in the early 1980s. The U.S. Military commonly used the M16A4 as their assault rifle and the M16A2 and M16A3 were used, but used by some branches in the military or has limited roles. - Crysis 00:31, 11 September 2009 (UTC)
- I think you are wrong. These are M16A1s as noted by their foward assists. - Kenny99 00:35, 11 September 2009 (UTC)
- Yep, sorry, Crysis, but you are DEAD wrong here. The M16A1 and the M16A2 have very different receivers. The A1 receiver lacks both the brass deflector and the elevation-adjustable rear sight of the M16A2. You can clearly see that the M16s carried by the U.S. soldiers also lack these features, so that means they're M16A1s. They have been fitted with the hand guards of M16A2s (as Kenny pointed out), but the hand guards are interchangeable on M16 rifles.
- Also, making your case by thinking about real life is the wrong way to think about it. This is a TV show. It doesn't represent reality. There are a large number of movies and TV shows which don't depict the correct weapons used by a particular police/military/government agency in real life. -MT2008
- Not only that, but the A4s were only issued to the Army and the Marine Corps in late 2003. Also, the Model 29 looks like an Colt Python.--Oliveira 01:21, 13 September 2009 (UTC)
- I agree with Oliveira that the Model 29 looks like a Colt Python. - Crysis 01:27, 13 September 2009 (UTC)
Taken from Sig Sauer P230
Though in these screenshots it looks like a P232, the episode was aired on January 9th, 1994, and the P232 was not released until 1996. - Comment by MoviePropMaster2008
Seasons
Given the large volume of weapons on this page, should this be broken up by season like the Miami Vice article and other long television pages?
Luger P08?
I don't think the gun in the holster is a Luger P08. Based on the shape of the holster and grip of the gun I'd say it's a Beretta 92FS Inox with brown grips, but I'm not shure. Thejoker (talk) 17:34, 21 December 2012 (EST)
