| − | '''Colonial Military Weapons''' | + | '''''Battlestar Galactica''''' is the weekly series "reboot" of the 1978 ABC sci-fi television series of the same name. The series followed the last remnants of the human population of the twelve colonies after the near decimation by a biomechanical race known as the Cylons. Unlike the original series, the majority of the weapons used are authentic weapons visually modified for the production. This "reboot" began as a [[Battlestar Galactica: The Miniseries (2003)|Sci-Fi Channel miniseries]] that first aired in 2003. Subsequently, the weekly series aired for four seasons on the Sci-Fi Channel from 2004 to 2009 and would spawn television films, several webisodes, a prequel series (''[[Caprica]]'') and a prequel film (''[[Battlestar Galactica: Blood & Chrome]]''). |

| | | | |
| − | A heavily modified Smith & Wesson K-Frame revolver (likely a 686) is portrayed as the ''Colonial'' sidearm in the mini-series. Among other features the weapon has an under barrel explosive launcher (like the old LeMat ''grapeshot'' barrel)

| − | From the first season on this is the standard ''Colonial'' sidearm. The major difference being the addition of an under barrel explosive launcher.

| − | == [[FN P90]] ==
| |
| − | | |
| − | For the mini-series and the first season this was the main assault weapon of the ''Colonial Marines'' on board the ''Galactica''. The attachments for the weapons (flashlight, red dot sight) are somewhat the norm for the "real world" the only difference being the attachment of a suppressor which seems to be more for dramatic effect than anything else.

| |
| − | | |
| − | From the second season onward this 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, red dot sight and flash suppressors. In addition, during the ''Razor'' movie the weapon seems to be capable of full auto or burst fire, something the real world CX4 Storm cannot do.

| − | Seen in flashbacks and in the special features on the first season DVDs is this British bullpup design. The weapons in the show themselves are minus the optical sights and have the whole lower receiver and muzzle guard painted white indicating they may only be used for ceremonial purposes.

| − | | |
| − | Glimpsed occasionally throughout the series is the [[Heckler & Koch G36]]K model assault rifle. Seen almost exclusively in the hands of ''Colonial'' military personnel it could be that this weapon is a substitute standard weapon for the ''Colonial Marines'' (ala the [[M14 Rifle]] to the [[M16]]).

| − | Yet another weapon glimpsed in the hands of ''Colonial'' military personnel is this H&K PDW. The major addition to the weapon itself is an ELCAN optical sight rather than a red dot or basic iron sights.

| − | This distinctive South African shotgun makes a few appearances in the series but not in its primary role. Instead it becomes a grenade launcher which is something that has happened in more than a few movies, television shows.

| − | Another of ''Anders''' sidearms in the series. He briefly loses it after blowing up a ''Cylon'' occupied building on ''Caprica'' when ''Diana'' siezes it and threatens to kill him before being beaten to death by a ''Number 8''. The weapon is nickel plated and it is not clear what calibre the weapon is (.357 or .44).

| |
| − | | |
| − | Seen in the case of one of [[Zarek's]] allies. Given the highly compact nature of the weapon portrayed in the episode it is likely that it was either a ''Model 26'' or ''27 Glock''.

| − | == [[AP-9]] == | |
| − | | |
| − | This evolution of the Tec-9 from the 1980's is seen as either a ''Cylon'' sidearm or assault weapon in the ''Pegasus'' movie "''Razor''". The weapons in the movie have had the lower receivers blackened and the uppers chromed or nickel plated, possibly to go with the old model ''Centurion'''s color scheme.
