Heckler & Koch MP5A3

Many episodes featured Heckler & Koch MP5A3 submachine guns, almost always with the "slimline" forearm. Typically, these weapons appeared in the hands of bad guys, such as Colonel Dekker's motorcycle gunmen in the episode "Winner Take All".

The "Timecop Pistol"

In the first episode, "Winner Take All", Colonel Dekker (Tim Thomerson) used an unusual futuristic-looking pistol to shoot at a security camera in the bank during a robbery. This gun was a dressed-up Taurus PT92 that was originally made for the Jean Claude Van Damme movie Timecop, and it also appeared in episodes of Stargate: SG1 and Stargate: Atlantis.

M1911 variant (Auto Ordnance?)

Agent Catlett (J. Downing) used an M1911 variant in several episodes, which appears to be an Auto Ordnance M1911A1, though this is not certain.

Browning M1919

In the episode "Winner Take All", Colonel Dekker's International Transtar semi truck had a pair of Browning M1919 mounted on firing ports atop the sleeper cabin. They are most likely the M37, which was the variant intended to be mounted on armored vehicles. Another M1919 was used by Frankie Waters to shoot at the weapons thieves in the episode "Standoff".

A variant of the Browning M1919 developed during World War 2, this model is designated the M37, with the ability to feed from either the left or the right of the weapon - 30-06. This example is shown without a tripod, only the pintle mount. This the MOST likely .30 cal machine gun to be seen firing from armored vehicles.

Kimel Industries AP-9
