Heckler & Koch HK94 (chopped and converted)
The Heckler & Koch HK94 with its barrel chopped down to resemble the MP5A3 is a frequent weapon used by the Resistance in the series. As the series was filmed in the early 1980's, this show was one of the earliest to feature this firearm.
As in V: The Final Battle, the MAC-10 is the weapon of choice for Ham Tyler (Michael Ironside). He sometimes was seen using it with a suppressor. The MAC-10 also is used by Kyle Bates (Jeff Yagher), who carries his in a thigh holster.
Mike Donovan is seen using a full size Uzi in several episodes, notably in "The Dissident" (Ep.08) when he and Ham Tyler infiltrate a Visitor mothership to rescue a Visitor scientist, as well as in "The Conversion" (Ep.10).
Ham Tyler (Michael Ironside) is seen using an M72 LAW to take out a Visitor vehicle in a convoy in "The Conversion" (S1E10). In the series finale "The Return" (S1E19), Visitors disguised as humans use the LAW in an assassination attempt.
