Harsh Realm
The following weapons were used in the television series Harsh Realm:
M16A1/Diemaco C7
During the opening scene of the Pilot episode, Lt. Thomas Hobbes (Scott Bairstow), Sgt. Mel Waters (Max Martini), and the rest of their squad are armed with M16A1 assault rifles during a peacekeeping mission in Sarajevo in 1994. The weapons have been fitted with the hand guards of M16A2s to make them resemble the U.S. service rifle of the time, but a close inspection of the receivers reveals that they lack the brass deflector and elevation-adjustable rear sight which characterizes the M16A2.
However, in some shots (most notably when Hobbes reloads after providing cover fire for Waters), the receivers of the M16s do have the brass deflector but not the A2-style rear sight. In these cases, the rifles may be either M16A1s with early AR15 A2 upper receivers, or Diemaco C7s, the Canadian version of the M16 (it is important to note that the show was filmed in Vancouver).
Heckler & Koch P7
When Hobbes enters the virtual world of Harsh Realm in the Pilot episode, he is issued a Heckler & Koch P7 pistol (either the M8 or the higher-capacity M13). Initially, Mike Pinnochio (D.B. Sweeney) gets ahold of this weapon and uses it to rob Hobbes, but Hobbes manages to take back the P7 from him. Pinnochio later grabs the P7 again from Hobbes' waistband and tries to shoot him with it, but he discovers that Hobbes has emptied the gun.
Heckler & Koch MP5K
Mike Pinnochio (D.B. Sweeney) carries a Heckler & Koch MP5K fitted with a PDW folding stock as his main weapon throughout the show. It is usually seen fitted with a 15-round magazine, and he carries it on a thigh holster.
Heckler & Koch MP5A3
The Heckler & Koch MP5A3 appears to be the standard-issue weapon of General Omar Santiago's (Terry O'Quinn's) Republican Guard forces throughout the show. Some are seen with Surefire flashlight grips, others without. Hobbes gets a hold of one from a Republican Guard soldier he incapacitates in Episode 6, "Three Percenters", and uses it to execute the doubles. MP5A3s stolen from the Republican Guard are also used by the Cherokee rebels in Episode 8, "Cincinnati".
Colt Commando
A Vietnam War-era Colt XM177E1 (CAR-15) "Commando" is used throughout the show by Florence (Rachel Hayward) as her primary weapon (in the Pilot, it has two magazines "jungle-taped" together). Colt Commandos are also seen several other times in the show - the refugee father in Episode 6, "Three Percenters" has one slung across his back in the beginning of the episode. Some of the Republican Guard Special Forces in Episode 8, "Cincinnati" also use them (including Santiago and Waters - Waters using one with an M203 grenade launcher).
Taurus PT99
The Taurus PT99 pistol, a variant of the Taurus PT92 with adjustable sights, appears to be the standard-issue sidearm for the Republican Guard in Harsh Realm. Major Waters is seen using one in several episodes, most notably the Pilot episode, when he uses it to shoot the digital version of Hobbes' fiance Sophie (Samantha Mathis). Hobbes also takes a PT99 from a Republican Guard soldier in the Pilot after Pinnochio takes his P7, and later gets another one from Sergeant Escalante (Raymond Cruz) in Episode 7, "Manus Domini".
Sig-Sauer P226
From Episode 2, "Leviathan" through Episode 4, "Kein Ausgang", Hobbes carries a Sig-Sauer P226 as his sidearm. It is confiscated from him in "Leviathan" by the bounty hunter, but he later retrieves it and uses it in a shootout with the Republican Guard.
Walther P99
Beginning in Episode 5, "Reunion", Hobbes switches to a Walther P99, which he uses as his sidearm for the remaining episodes of the show (with the exception of Episode 7, in which he uses a Beretta M93R).
Beretta M93R
Hobbes briefly switches sidearms again in Episode 7, "Manus Domini", when he is seen wielding a Beretta M93R instead of his Walther P99. After Sergeant Escalante captures him, Hobbes' Beretta winds up in the hands of a bounty hunter, who uses it in a shootout with Pinnochio.
Norinco Type 84
In Episode 2, "Leviathan", Hobbes and Pinnochio are captured by a bounty hunter and his henchman who take them hostage with a Norinco Type 84 assault rifle. The Type 84 is a Chinese-manufactured AK-47/AKM variant which fires the same 5.56x45mm round as the M16 (it loosely resembles the AK-74 in appearance, but it is a completely different weapon).
The Chinese Type 84 is also used (along with the Type 56, its 7.62x39mm brother) by many of the Cherokee rebels in Episode 8, "Cincinnati". Florence is seen using one of these weapons taken from a slain rebel at the end of the episode.
FN Minimi
In Episode 8, "Cincinnati", a Republican Guard sentry is seen firing an FN Minimi fitted with a night-vision sight at Cherokee rebels as they invade the weapons depot.
