Bionic Woman

Bionic Woman (2007)

Bionic Woman was a short-lived television remake of the 1970's ABC Lindsay Wagner sci-fi series. The series remake aired for an abbreviated season just before the Motion Pictures and Television Writers strike of Winter 2007-2008. (The striking union was the WGA - Writer's Guild of America) The series was the brainchild of David Eick, who had tackled television remakes previously as co-producer of the successful re-imagined Battlestar Galactica television series, but in this case, the situation was handled poorly. Dark, depressing, and without a soul, Bionic Woman tried to capture the feel of BSG (the series was filmed in Canada, making it possible for numerous BSG actors to do cameo appearances), but it was a misguided effort. The ratings plummeted after the first episode, being that this was a dark and ultimately unsatisfying show about a super-heroine who could never use her powers in public. The writer's strike put the nail in the show's coffin and it was not renewed for more episodes after the strike ended in the early Spring of 2008. Typical of Hollywood, all of the blame for the expensive show's failure was hurled at the show's star, Michelle Ryan, which was exceptionally unfair, since the show's weaknesses lay squarely on the shoulders of the producer, director(s) and script writers.

The following weapons were used in the television series Bionic Woman:

Handguns

M1911A1

In "Pilot" (S1E01), Jae Kim (Will Yun Lee) carries a nickel-plated M1911A1 when he searches for Sarah Corvus in a darkened building. He later switches to the Beretta 92FS almost exclusively for the rest of the show.

Submachine guns

Heckler & Koch MP5A5

• Episode 1 (Pilot): the Heckler & Koch MP5A5 is extensively used by the security forces of the Berkut Group. While analyzing the sequence, these MP5s have the four position trigger group, making them the A4 variant. They also never fire, so they could be airsoft guns.

Jae Kim (Will Yun Lee) leads a security group in the first shot of the Pilot Episode, the soldiers all carry MP5A5s with Tactical lights and lasers mounted - 9mm. In a particularly chilling sequence, Kim and his tactical group walk past the bodies of fourteen massacred scientists in the tunnel. Will Yun Lee is best known for his portrayal of Colonel Moon in Die Another Day

A BG security tactical team member aims his MP5A5 - 9mm. A clear view of the laser mounted to the base of the front sight and the tactical flashlight.

Heckler & Koch MP5A3 with Navy Trigger Group

• Episode 2 (Paradise Lost): used by mercenaries disguised as U.S. Marines and also by the Berkut Group's Tactical teams. These guns also fire, so it can be assumed that the show switches to MP5A3s when they have to fire blanks (thus supporting the theory that all of the A4/A5s in the show are airsoft guns).

M4/M4A1

• Episode 2 (Paradise Lost): the M4/M4A1 carbine is used by mercenaries posing as Marines. Berkut Group analyst Ruth Treadwell (Molly Price) also picks up a flat top M4 from the gun rack ... of a pawn shop (?!) to fight off the phony Marines.

Colt M4A1 with Aimpoint Sight, RIS rails (and rail covers) and foregrip - 5.56x45mm

In Episode 2 (Paradise Lost), "U.S. Marines" order Jaime Sommers and a young girl, Vivian (Carly McKillip), to stop where they are, carrying M4 Carbines - 5.56mm. Too bad they are not real Marines ...

In Episode 2 (Paradise Lost), the "Marines" open fire on Jaime Sommers and Vivian (Carly McKillip) with their M4s - 5.56mm

In Episode 2 (Paradise Lost), Ruth Treadwell (Molly Price) pulls a flat top M4 with RIS rails and an M68 Red Dot sight from the gun rack of a pawn shop - 5.56mm. One doesn't expect that sort of high end weapon to be sitting on a gun rack, unlocked in the back office of a pawnshop.

In Episode 2 (Paradise Lost), Ruth Treadwell (Molly Price) holds the Flat top M4 but orders Vivian (Carly McKillip) to escape out the back.

M16A1

• Episode 5 (The Education of Jaime Sommers): An Olympics Arms AR15 is outfitted with A2 handguards to impersonate an M16A2 in Iraq. The base rifle was Olympic Arm's civilian version of the M16A1, converted to auto fire in Canada.

An Olympic Arms AR15 (note: Olympic arms did not renamed their rifles with the "K" designation until after the 1990s) with A2 Handguards and the Olympic Arms stowaway pistol grip - 5.56mm

Zastava M70AB2

A Zastava M70AB2 (the underfolder Yugo AK) rifle was used by a gunman to score a direct hit to Jaime's right shoulder in the episode "Faceoff". The rifle is recognizable by the grenade launcher sight attachment to the gas block and the three heat vent holes in the front fore arm - 7.62x39mm

Zastava M70AB2 folding stock rifle - 7.62x39mm (non-standard pistol grip). The military version of the M70AB2 underfolder rifle has a black plastic pistol grip. However all of the Zastava M70AB2 rifles imported in the U.S. by Mitchell Arms had the wooden pistol grip seen in this photo. So a wooden pistol grip is indicative of an early 'Mitchell Arms' rifle.

In Episode 4 (Faceoff), an "Paraguayan" gunman fires his Zastava M70AB2 underfolder AK at Jaime Sommers as she leaps though the abandoned factory and scoring a direct hit to Jaime's right shoulder - 7.62x39mm

• Episode 2 (Paradise Lost): An M67 is used in a booby trap. Previously it was a MK II Grenade when it was attached to an unconscious Marine's web gear.
