The pistol is detected in ".exe" (S5E12).

Overall outline suggests a full-size S&W automatic to me. It's not the 5946 being re-used as it clearly has the typical (not shrouded/bobbed) hammer. It looks to have the fat (high-capacity) grip area, that and the curved backstrap make me think 5906. StanTheMan (talk) 20:25, 18 June 2016 (EDT)

Machine gun in "B.S.O.D"

That machine gun has an unrailed feed cover and standard unrailed handguards so it isn't a Mark 46 Mod 0. My guess would be that it is just an M249, but can't tell if it has the full length or paratrooper barrel. Is it seen without the barrel obscured by the muzzle flash? --commando552 (talk) 14:45, 5 May 2016 (EDT)

Please help ID these pistols. A mole pulls this pistol fitted with a crimson trace grip laser sight.

In "Synedoche" (S5E11),

3913 TSW without the rail fitted maybe? Does the laser effect look real in the episode? From that still to me it doesn't look like the gun actually has Crimson Trace grips, but rather they have just put a red lens flare hovering next to the slide. --commando552 (talk) 19:27, 9 June 2016 (EDT)

I agree that the laser sight is likely a CGI aftereffect, or so it looks to me. That said, doesn't the 3913 TSW have the ambi safety? This gun doesn't seem to. (Then again, it could be removed in the effect for the 'laser'.) StanTheMan (talk) 02:51, 10 June 2016 (EDT)

You're right, I was thinking it didn't because it is a compact, but it does (you can of course put a single side safety on any S&W, but this still goes against the ID). It could also be the DAO 3953 TSW, but I think that these are relatively obscure. I originally thought it was a TSW (the newer kind that can take a rail) by the grooves at the bottom of the frame, but am now wondering if it is actually a gun with an integral rail, but it looks like it might be a bit narrow for that to me. --commando552 (talk) 05:33, 10 June 2016 (EDT)

ID

The third and forth were supposedly ID'ed as a "Ruger .22". --Ben41 (talk) 17:08, 19 May 2016 (EDT)

"Shotseeker" (S5E05).

Bruce Moran (James LeGros) threatens Reese with the pistol in "ShotSeeker" (S5E05). (Not a Makarov)

"Shotseeker" (S5E05).

First one looks like a Smith & Wesson 5946. As for the .22, it is a Ruger but am not sure which one. The barrel looks like a 22/45 Lite, but the frame is a Mark III one. Not sure, but I think they may interchange so it could be a genuine hybrid. Can't really tell for sure with that second one, it is very shiny and from too extreme an angle to make out most of the features. My guess would be that it is a nickel P229, but could be WAY off with that, am mainly going by the step along the slide. --commando552 (talk) 17:34, 19 May 2016 (EDT)

Please help iD this pistol. --Ben41 (talk) 06:09, 1 June 2016 (EDT)

Pretty sure that's a CZ75B (with the safety on), though the hammer looks a tad off (might just be the angle though). Front sight seems to be missing as well. StanTheMan (talk) 15:10, 1 June 2016 (EDT)

I do not think that it is a real CZ-75B, but a replica or blank firer of some sort. The real CZ-75B introduced a firing pin block which means the slide has a tell-tale pin hole through the middle of the serrations which isn't present on this gun. --commando552 (talk) 15:52, 1 June 2016 (EDT)

Please help ID this rifle.

Please help ID this weapon. --Ben41 (talk) 21:32, 1 June 2016 (EDT)

Not entirely sure. In the episode the weapon is broken down with the barrel being screwed into the receiver sans gas tube but this isn't like the DRD Tactical Paratus. --Charon68 (talk) 21:55, 1 June 2016 (EDT)

Its DRD Tactical SRU762.--KINKI'boy (talk) 20:49, 2 June 2016 (JST)

Looks more like the 5.56mm CDR-15 to me:

DRD Tactical CDR-15 - 5.56x45mm

Different patter of recesses on the handguard, lower matches, magazine looks like it might have a window which I don't think the 7.62s have, bolt carrier looks like a 5.56, and the 7.62 models don't have a FA as far as I know. --commando552 (talk) 19:22, 9 June 2016 (EDT)

Firing Blanks?

Have the production fired any real blanks this season?. A lot of times the slide doesn't move on Reese's SIG when he pulls the trigger. Even the minigun and the FN MAG don't look like they're firing any real ammunition. It looks like they are just adding the muzzle flashes in post production. --Ben41 (talk) 20:12, 10 June 2016 (EDT)

I noted this on the last season's talk page, it seems like about half way through season 4, for some unknown reason, they started just mime firing all the weapons, which really bothers me, because other than that, this is one of my favourite shows. --RedRobinAlpha (talk) 15:30, 11 June 2016 (EDT)
