Weapon Names

Also, in addition to what i posted concerning the ar15/colt models, wouldnt it be beneficial to include the manufacturers name too?, for example 'Colt Single Action Army' instead of 'Single Action Army'? I know this is contrary to established protocol on this site as my entries were changed to their colloquial names and not the names issued by their manufacturer. If any of the mods/admins could weigh in it would be much appreciated.

AR15/Colt models

Wouldnt it be logical to edit weapon names as what the manufacturers model is? Considering that every country has different designations for weapons but when it comes down to it, the manufacturer is the point of origin and a thread of commonality. For example, the colt model 977 is known as the m4a1, but ONLY in the context of united states ARMED FORCES service. Everywhere else it would be known as colt model 977. Would it not be scrupulous and prudent to at least adhere to those standards?

Arm in Arms

The plot involved some high-calibre weapon being stolen, anyone ID it yet?

It was ID'd in the show as a BNT-35, but had a thumb-hole stock like an H&K SL-8.

BNT-35

Certainly looks like a frankengun. I see a SCAR, XM-8, SL8, and what may be a 20 round 5.56x45mm magazine. --Crazycrankle 09:33, 24 January 2010 (UTC)

Well, whatever it is, it's definitely not a 'high caliber weapon'. Acora 22:19, 14 April 2010 (UTC)

I said the same thing about it on the main page.--Mandolin 23:09, 12 September 2010 (UTC)

Glock 9mm

In a New Episode titled 'Cause and Effect', Don Eppes' Glock is stolen and used to kill Two Drug Dealers. Ballistics says it was a 9mm.

This may have been a Factual Error since Don uses a Glock 23 in .40 Smith & Wesson.

It is now mentioned in this Episode that Don now carries a Glock 19.

Also, I believe the FBI in real life uses a .40, however it's a Model 22.

From our own Glock 23 entry on the Glock page:

NOTE: Although the Glock 23 is an issue weapon for the FBI, this does not mean that characters who are FBI Agents in movies or TV shows necessarily use them. Hollywood's propmasters and armorers preferred, until recently, to use 9x19mm pistols, due to the difficulties of converting larger calibers to blank-fire. Consequently, there are almost no Glock 23s in movies or TV shows; if a character is supposed to be an FBI Agent, it is most likely that they are using a Glock 19, standing in for the Glock 23. IMFDB members have frequently made the assumption that any Glock used by an FBI Agent in a movie must be a .40-caliber model, even though (it bears repeating) the weapons used in movies do not always correspond to the weapons used by a particular law enforcement agency in real life. Unless you have good evidence, do not assume that a Glock pistol is a .40-caliber model, simply because the FBI uses this weapon in real life. When in doubt, it is usually safer to assume that the Glock in question is a 9mm model.

In other words, what the FBI uses in real life is irrelevant. -MT2008 17:54, 14 April 2010 (UTC)

Well for what it's worth the G21, G26, and G27 are the only privately owned handguns that are authorized for F.B.I. agents to carry in lieu of the G22/23. The info can be found in the September 2011 issue of American Rifleman. Just FYI. --Jcordell 17:23, 8 November 2011 (CST)

What is the sig that colby granger carried for the first two seasons

Colby's weapon in season 4 premiere

USP Compact? Please someone agree with me?

Ruger Vaquero?

Based on the bore size, unfluted cylinder, and adjustable sights, I would say that the Ruger pictured is actually a Super Blackhawk.--Westernman1987 21:23, 25 April 2012 (CDT)

Page Redo...

This page could sure use a "redo" and being split up into the seasons. Anyone happen to have it on DVD or feel like doing it? I am in the process of doing the CSI pages or I would do it myself... --Zackmann08 11:45, 26 April 2012 (CDT)

Don's Glock in Season 1

In the Season 1 Episodes, it seems like Don uses a Glock with a longer frame, like a model 21 or 22? I have seen all the season 1 episodes, what would be nice if someone else watches them and confirms with me.

Definitely has a full size Glock in the beginning but I'd say 17 due to the preference to use 9mm pistols in Hollywood. Somewhat on topic, is it just me or is that Glock 17 screencap actually a 19?--Crazycrankle (talk) 17:24, 17 June 2013 (EDT)

It looks like it has a longer frame then a Model 19--Coltmth (talk) 09:28, 18 June 2013 (EDT)
