Bionic Woman
Bionic Woman was a short lived television series that ran an abbreviated season just before the Motion Pictures and Television Writers strike of Winter 2007-2008. (The striking union was the WGA - Writer's Guild of America) The series was the brainchild of David Eick, co-producer of the successful re-imagined Battlestar Galactica television series, but it was handled poorly. Dark, depressing, and without a soul, the Bionic Woman tried to capture the feel of BSG (even as far as having tons of BSG actors do cameo appearances on the show) but it was a misguided effort. The ratings plummeted after the first episode, being that this was a dark and ultimately unsatisfying show about a super-heroine who could never use her powers in public. The writer's strike put the nail in the show's coffin and it was not renewed for more episodes after the strike ended in the early Spring of 2008. Typical of Hollywood, all of the blame for the expensive show's failure was hurled at the show's star, Michelle Ryan, which was exceptionally unfair, since the show's weaknesses lay squarely on the shoulders of the producer, director(s) and script writers.
The following guns were used on the show Bionic Woman:
Heckler & Koch MP5A5
- Episode 1 (Pilot): the Heckler & Koch MP5A5 is extensively used by the security forces of the Berkut Group. While analyzing the sequence, these MP5s have the four position trigger group, making them the A4 variant. They also never fire, so they could be airsoft guns.
Jae Kim (Will Yun Lee) leads a security group in the first shot of the Pilot Episode, the soldiers all carry MP5A5s with Tactical lights and lasers mounted - 9mm. In a particularly chilling sequence, Kim and his tactical group walk past the bodies of fourteen massacred scientists in the tunnel. Will Yun Lee is best known for his portrayal of Colonel Moon in Die Another Day
- Episode 2 (Paradise Lost): used by mercenaries disguised as U.S. Marines and also by the Berkut Group's Tactical teams. These guns also fire, so it can be assumed that the show switches to MP5A3s when they have to fire blanks (thus supporting the theory that all of the A4/A5s in the show are airsoft guns).
Antonio Pope (Isaiah Washington) leads the BG Tactical team in a night raid, holding an MP5A3 with a 3 position Navy trigger group - 9mm
In Episode 2 (Paradise Lost) in a massive continuity break, Ruth Treadwell (Molly Price) picks up an M4 Flat top carbine from an abandoned pawnshop and runs out the back, but the weapon changes to an MP5 - 9mm
Heckler & Koch SL8
- Episode 1 (Pilot): The Heckler & Koch SL8 rifle is used by the homicidal "first Bionic Woman" Sarah Corvus (Katee Sackhoff) to snipe at Doctor Will Anthros, Jaime Sommer's fiancé. The actual rifle is a 5.56x45mm NATO weapon, not the best caliber to choose for a super long distance sniper shot through a building's safety glass window. The round is too small and light.
- Can't forget during a heavy down pour. It would throw the shoot way off. The Winchester
A closeup of Sarah Corvus (Katee Sackhoff) and her SL8 Tactical Match rifle - 5.56mm
Corvus holds her SL8 rifle. Based on the configuration, this is the same SL8 rifle used in the second episode of the show Painkiller Jane. Both shows were filmed in Vancouver, British Columbia and had the same Canadian Armorers.
Heckler & Koch UMP-45
- Episode 1 (Pilot): The Heckler & Koch UMP-45 is used by 'the man' (Thomas Kretschmann), a mysterious shadow world figure who was never explained due to the show's sudden cancellation.
Fugitive Anthony Andros (Mark Sheppard) and the man (Thomas Kretschmann) escape into the Canadian wilderness from a maximum security prison, "the Man" holds a UMP-45 submachine gun.
Heckler & Koch MP7A1
- Episode 2 (Paradise Lost) - Berkut Group Tactical team members carry MP7A1s during a night time raid.
Uzi
Mini Uzi
M249-E2 SAW
- Episode 1 (Pilot): the M249-E2 SAW is extensively used by the security forces of the Berkut Group.
M4/M4A1
- Episode 2 (Paradise Lost): the M4/M4A1 carbine is used by mercenaries posing as Marines. Berkut Group analyst Ruth Treadwell (Molly Price) also picks up a flat top M4 from the gun rack ... of a pawn shop (?!) to fight off the phoney Marines.
In Episode 2 (Paradise Lost), Ruth Treadwell (Molly Price) pulls a flat top M4 with RIS rails and an M68 Red Dot sight from the gun rack of a pawn shop - 5.56mm. One doesn't expect that sort of high end weapon to be sitting on a gun rack, unlocked in the back office of a pawnshop.
In Episode 2 (Paradise Lost), Ruth Treadwell (Molly Price) holds the Flat top M4 but orders Vivian (Carly McKillip) to escape out the back.
If you look at the receiver in the bottom picture. It looks like it is a full auto rifle. - Ithaqua
M16A1
- Episode 5 (The Education of Jaime Sommers): the M16A1 is outfitted with A2 handguards to impersonate an M16A2 in Iraq.
AK-47
Zastava M70AB2
A Zastava M70AB2 (the underfolder Yugo AK) rifle was used by a gunman to score a direct hit to Jaime's right shoulder in the episode "Faceoff". The rifle is recognizable by the grenade launcher sight attachment to the gas block and the three heat vent holes in the front fore arm - 7.62x39mm
Zastava M70AB2 folding stock rifle - 7.62x39mm (non-standard pistol grip). The military version of the M70AB2 underfolder rifle has a black plastic pistol grip. However all of the Zastava M70AB2 rifles imported in the U.S. by Mitchell Arms had the wooden pistol grip seen in this photo. So a wooden pistol grip is indicative of an early 'Mitchell Arms' rifle.
M1911A1
- Episode 1 (Pilot): Jae Kim (Will Yun Lee) carries a nickel plated M1911-A1 when he searches for Sarah Corvus in a darkened building. He later switches to the Beretta 92FS almost exclusively for the rest of the show.
