Buffy the Vampire Slayer

Buffy the Vampire Slayer (1997-2003)

Buffy the Vampire Slayer is an American television series that aired on The WB from 1997-2001 and then on UPN from 2002-2003. Inspired by the 1992 movie of the same name, the show (which was created by the film's screenwriter Joss Whedon) continues the story. Buffy Summers (Sarah Michelle Gellar) is the Slayer, the young woman chosen by Fate to fight the vampires, demons, and other dark forces. Aided by her Watcher, Rupert "Ripper" Giles (Anthony Stewart Head), and a small group of friends dubbed the "Scooby Gang", she fights various evil forces.

Few of the main characters ever used a gun, partially as a result of their foes' lack of vulnerability to such weapons and also due to their being minors for the first 3 seasons. (The main characters are in 10th grade in Season 1). However, numerous antagonists and minor characters use firearms of the shows 7 seasons. The series also produced the spin-off Angel, starring David Boreanaz.

The following weapons were used on the television show Buffy the Vampire Slayer:

Handguns

Beretta 92F/FS

The swim team coach pulls a Beretta 92F on Buffy when she confronts him in "Go Fish", and the coach and Xander later fight over it. Patrice, an assassin from the Order of Taraka, pulls two Berettas on Buffy while dressed as a police officer in "What's My Line, Part 2" (S2E10). Police officers are seen with the weapon in various episodes. In "Band Candy" (S3E6) a Beretta changes hands several times. Initiative commandos carry the weapon in thigh holsters, Riley drawing his in a bar in "Goodbye Iowa" A Watcher's Council spec-ops team carry a suppressed model in "Who Are You"

Smith & Wesson Model 10

What appears to be a Smith & Wesson Model 10 is used as a "ghost revolver" in "I Only Have Eyes for You" (S1E19), by people possessed by a ghost. The revolver appears in their hand and then disappears afterwards.

Beretta 21 Bobcat/Beretta 3032 Tomcat

Patrice, after losing two Beretta 92s, pulls either a Beretta 21 Bobcat or Beretta 3032 Tomcat on Buffy in "What's My Line, Part 2" (S2E10). While it is never seen clearly, its small size and Patrice's fondness for Berettas means it's probably a compact Beretta hand gun.

Heavy weapons

M136 AT4

In "Innocence", one of the most famous episodes of Buffy ever, Buffy uses a M136 AT4 anti-tank rocket to destroy the Judge, an ancient demon who cannot be harmed by "any weapon forged by man". Realizing a loophole exists in the ancient prophecy, the Scoobies raid the local army base for the weapon, allowing Buffy to destroy the Judge, ending the fight before it can even begin. Amusingly, Xander's "military knowledge" acquired in a previous episode is said to be needed to show Buffy how to use the weapon, despite the AT-4 having instructions printed on it.

DefTech 37mm launcher

Hans & Fredrick, the German brothers participating in "SlayerFest '98" in Homecoming" (S3E5) use a DefTech 37mm as a grenade launcher. It is treated as being able to fire HE missiles rather than the less-lethal rounds it uses in reality, and has a complex control panel in keeping with the German's super high-tech theme.

The grenade round sits on the floor. For some reason, it resemble a miniature missile rather than a grenade and takes forever to detonate.

Initiative weapons

The Initiative, a government paramilitary group appears in the fourth season of Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Hunting demons for research and control purposes, the Initiative issued many weapons, some of them fictional and many fitted with night-vision scopes for ease of use, since most demon contacts were at night. Below are listed some of the fictional weapons issued by the Initiative.

Taser pistol

Initiative commandos carry a double-barrel taser-type pistol to stun enemies.

Lightning rifle

The Initiative issues a electricity-shooting rifle that fires what resemble lightning bolts as a longer-range equivilent of the tazer pistol. Buffy notes that the weapon fires 12,00 volt blasts that take a human 2 hours to recover from being hit. The weapon is at least partialy mocked up off of a Calixo M955A submachinegun, with the double pistol grips and general shape resembling the M955A. It's probably just a mockup, since there is no need for the weapon to fire blanks.
