Firefly (2002-2003)

Firefly was a science fiction series that aired for one season on the FOX network. Created by Joss Whedon, the series starred Nathan Fillion as Malcolm Reynolds, the captain of a "Firefly"-class spaceship named "Serenity". Throughout the series, Reynolds and his crew travel through a distant solar system, making a rough living on frontier planets as smugglers while fighting various adversaries. The series mixed the "space opera" genre with certain elements of the Western, thus the mix of American Western weaponry with the more modern firepower. The series only aired 11 of its 13 episodes in 2002 before being canceled (the remaining episodes aired in 2003), but would subsequently gain cult status, leading to Whedon continuing the series' plot in the 2005 feature film Serenity. NOTE: The episode numbering is based on the order reflected in the subsequent video releases (the series actually aired out of sequence).

The following weapons were used in the television series Firefly:

Revolvers

Mal's Sidearm (Modified Taurus 85)

The signature pistol of Captain Malcolm Reynolds (Nathan Fillion) in the series is a Taurus Model 85 revolver completely covered by a brass casting to make it resemble a semi-auto handgun. The look of the weapon was based on the Volcanic repeaters used in the Civil War as explained by Firefly creator Joss Whedon in the visual companion book of the series. In the Firefly universe, the gun is a "Moses Brothers Self-Defense Engine Frontier Model B". The same prop gun was used for the feature Serenity, but given to a new prop house who made the magazine straight on the bottom, and bulked up the right side plate and added a spring loaded rear sight. This pistol was then held by Fillion in his series Castle.

Flux Colt XM177E2

In "Serenity" (S1E01), a Flux Colt XM177E2 was seen in the hands of a guard. This rifle has A2 sights, a delta ring retaining the hand guards, A2 reinforcements on the lower, a 5.5" flash suppressor, and a round forward assist so it's not the 1960's vintage XM carbine in the title but closer to a cobbled together '90s carbine like this one.

FAMAS-223

In "Serenity" (S1E01), the FAMAS-223 is seen in the hands of Malcom during the battle of Serenity valley. He then drops it and picks up a G36K to capture an AA gun. Zoë in a scene also carried a FAMAS but it changed to a G36K when she started shooting. The rifle is the Civilian version of the FAMAS, imported briefly into the U.S. as the Semiautomatic FAMAS-223. It is virtually identical to the military FAMAS except for the lack of a full auto switch position and the barrel is not ridged (to take rifle grenades). The smooth outer barrel was an ATF requirement to be imported into the country. Soon after, the ATF declared all foreign "bullpup" rifles to be unsporting and banned their import. This was done years prior to the 1989 import ban.

"Callahan Fullbore Autolock 'Vera'"

A Modified Izhmash Saiga-12 shotgun is the unique shotgun used by Jayne (Adam Baldwin) in "Our Mrs. Reynolds" (S1E06). The weapon was originally built by gunsmiths Larry Zanoff and the late Jim Boland for the film Showtime. It is capable of folding into compact form and still be fireable. Technically it's a shotgun, but in the show, it is a rifle that fires big bullets. In "Our Mrs. Reynolds" (S1E06), "Vera" requires oxygen to fire, which could be explained if it used an ignition system like the Daisy VL caseless .22 rifle (1968-1969).
