Painkiller Jane (2007)

Painkiller Jane was a television show for the Sci Fi Channel that ran for one season (2007). In the television series, Kristanna Loken played the self healing titular character DEA Agent Jane Vasco. Not to be confused with the made for television movie Painkiller Jane (2005) that started Emmanuelle Vaugier as U.S. Army Capt. Jane Elizabeth Browning, though both became the titular action heroine who heals from all mortal wounds and (apparently) cannot be killed except through complete destruction of the body (burned completely to ashes or explosion or acid) or dismemberment or decapitation.

The show was mostly filmed in Vancouver, British Columbia, but then abruptly moved to Budapest, Hungary for the last third of the season. To the show's credit, when the production moved to Hungary, the storyline also moved to the same country, so they did not try to make an Eastern European country look like the United States.

The following guns were used in the show:

Pistols:

Beretta 9000S

Jane Vasco wields a Beretta 9000S pistol in the Pilot Episode.

Beretta 9000S - 9mm.

Jane Vasco (Kristanna Loken) obviously has no issues keeping her eyes open when she fires. She locks her gaze on the gunman's eyes to see whether or not he will draw down on her as she aims at center of mass.

Smith & Wesson 5906

In the Pilot Episode, Agent Maureen Bowers (Alaina Huffman) carries a S&W 5906.

Maureen Bowers (Alaina Huffman) holds her 5906 to the throat of her soon to be friend and co-worker Connor King (Noah Danby) in a nightclub. With a gun to his throat he still manages to make a pass at her.

Heckler & Koch Mark 23

In the Pilot Episode, Riley Jensen (Sean O. Roberts) carries a Heckler & Koch Mark 23.

Jericho 941 Stainless

A thug in the pilot episode tries to shoot Jane with a Stainless Jericho 941 - 9mm

Heckler & Koch VP70

A thug in the pilot episode pulls a VP70 out of his back holster to try to get the drop on Jane - 9mm

SIG-Sauer P226

In the Pilot Episode, a "Neuro" makes police officers shoot at Jane Vasco. They all fire in a police station when, in the melee, the fire alarm goes off. They all use SIG-Sauer P226 Pistols - 9mm.

A police officer, under the influence of a Neuro, aims his P226 at Jane Vasco - 9mm

Another Police officer shoots Jane point blank with a P226 while the water sprinklers are on - 9mm

Submachine guns:

MP5K

In the pilot episode, a ten year old Jane Vasco (Tiera Skovbye) wields a Heckler & Koch MP5K -9mm

Jane Vasco as age ten, (Tiera Skovbye), fires her MP5K in a flashback in the pilot episode. To be fair this is the only time she blinks while dumping the entire magazine (and this was the only frame of the weapon that was not blurry.)

Ten year old Jane Vasco (Tiera Skovbye) fires her MP5K with a small rail attached to the foregrip - 9mm

Heckler & Koch UMP
