Battlestar Galactica (2004) - Season 3

Battlestar Galactica (2004-2005)

The following weapons were used in Season 3 of Battlestar Galactica (2004):

Pistols

Colonial Standard Military Sidearm (FN FiveseveN)

From Season 2 to the end, this weapon became the standard Colonial Military sidearm. It is a slightly modified original-run FN FiveseveN. It keeps the underbarrel explosive launcher. This changeover allows for real semi-automatic fire and makes use of the existing stores of 5.7 x 28mm blank ammunition. The explosive launcher was muzzle loaded, and was featured in the second season episode "Valley of Darkness," but not prominently afterward.

A Number 5 or Doral (Matthew Bennett) holds a Vektor CP1 to President Baltar's head to force him to sign death warrants in "Precipice" (S3E02). Felix Gaeta (Alessandro Juliani) pulls the Vektor CP1 on Baltar in "Exodus, Part 2" (S3E04).

Submachine Guns

Heckler & Koch MP7A1

Another weapon used by the Colonials is the Heckler & Koch MP7A1. The major addition to the weapon itself is an ELCAN optical sight rather than a red dot or basic iron sights.

Rifles

Beretta CX4 Storm

From Season 2 to the end of the series, the Beretta Cx4 Storm is the standard long gun of the Colonial Marines on board the Galactica and the Pegasus. The weapons themselves have various attachments including a rail system with red dot sight, flashlight attachments, and a custom flash hider.

Norinco Type 84S-1

The Norinco Type 84S-1 is another weapon seen in the hands of a Resistance fighter after its recovery from the arms cache on New Caprica. The main evidence for the identification comes from the shape of the magazine, which appears to be a 5.56mm magazine and not a 7.62mmx39.

Norinco Type 84S-1 - 5.56x45mm

The Norinco Type 84S is seen in the hands of a Resistance fighter in "Exodus, Part 1" (S3E03).

Machine Guns

Daewoo K3 - 5.56x45mm NATO

Daewoo K3 modified with Paratrooper stock, railed feed tray cover, railed handguard, foregrip, and plastic belt box - 5.56x45mm. This is the weapon used in 2009 film Driven to Kill, shown in the making-of. These modifications are commonly found on K3s in live-action productions.

Shotguns

Armsel Striker

This distinctive South African shotgun Armsel Striker makes a few appearances in the series but not in its primary role. Instead, as in numerous shows, it's shown as a grenade launcher.

Other

Cobray 37mm Launcher

On New Caprica, this single shot grenade launcher is picked up from hidden weapons cache.
