The following weapons were used in the television series The Stand:

WARNING! THIS PAGE CONTAINS SPOILERS!

Handguns

M1911A1

The M1911A1 is used by the U.S. military. The Utah Army National Guard assisted in filming. Like the M16A2, (see Rifles), the Beretta 92 had evidently not been issued yet to the unit that helped in the filming. It is my understanding that when actual military units participate in a movie they will use their own weapons or at least the National Guard units do - or did. This mini-series was filmed twenty years ago (February - July 1993). Very likely things have changed. I was in the Army Reserve and National Guard from 1986-1993 and I heard from a few fellow Guardsmen about their past experiences on television and movie productions as extras.I suppose it eases both the cost and the logistics for the production.I would imagine it would make the safety checks a bit more challenging though.

World War II issued Colt M1911A1 pistol - .45 ACP.

SIG-Sauer P228

The SIG-Sauer P228 is used by one of the Arizona state troopers during Lloyd Henreid's (Miguel Ferrer) botched robbery in Episode One. A P228 is also seen being used by Barry Dorgan (Chuck Adamson) during the climax of the mini-series in Part 4.

Instead, Nick Andros (Rob Lowe) gets control of the revolver and kills Ray Booth (Patrick Kilpatrick) instead.

Smith & Wesson Model 64

Lloyd Henreid (Miguel Ferrer) shoots and kills Glen Bateman (Ray Walston) with a Smith & Wesson Model 64 that has a stainless steel 3" barrel. Notice that the sights are "fixed" and that the ejector rod is not protected by a lug like on the Model 66. It is unknown if the revolver is actually the Model 64 in .38 special or the Model 65 in .357 Magnum. Both loads use the same size bullet (.357 inch) so the size of the bore is not helpful. With no screencap showing the model number on the side of the barrel, I'm going to assume it's a Model 64.

Smith & Wesson Model 28 Highway Patrolman

A Smith & Wesson Model 28 Highway Patrolman is carried by Nick Andros (Rob Lowe). He gets it from the sheriff in Arkansas who takes him in after he is attacked in the first episode by Ray Booth (Patrick Kilpatrick) and his cronies.

S&W Model 28 Highway Patrolman with 4" barrel and Rubber Pachmayr Combat Grips - .357 magnum

With the sheriff now dead from the Super Flu (along with many others), Nick Andros (Rob Lowe) decides to free the prisoners, all of whom are sick. He chooses to have some insurance with him in the form of a Smith & Wesson Model 28. He's a humanitarian but he's evidently not soft headed.

Ray Booth (Patrick Kilpatrick) forces the issue after being released. Note that this model only has two screws visible on the sideplate.

Nick Andros (Rob Lowe) shows him that he's not screwing around.

Ruger Redhawk

A blued steel Ruger Redhawk is carried by Larry Underwood (Adam Storke) when he is in the Lincoln Tunnel.

Another shot of Larry Underwood (Adam Storke) in a panic. Note the hammer. It has the distinctive Ruger shape, in contrast to the Smith & Wesson hammer. It is also stainless, this is something somewhat unique to Ruger guns, even if the gun itself was blued, the hammer and trigger were stainless.

Another shot of the grips from a scene after the Lincoln Tunnel sequence. Those are the older style wooden grips that Ruger put on the Redhawk during its early production years.

Rifles

M16A1

The M16A1 can be seen carried by several characters, mainly U.S. Army soldiers. The Utah Army National Guard assisted in the filming of the mini-series which would explain the older style M-16's. In 1993 (when it was filmed) many of the National Guard units were still waiting for the M16A2 to be issued. Also carried by Stu Redman (Gary Sinise). The M16A1 was replaced by the M16A2.

One of Flagg's men appears to be carrying an original M16. Note the three pronged flash suppressor and no forward bolt assist.

Remington Model 760

Crazy Julie Lawry (Shawnee Smith) uses a 760 to drive Nick Andros (Rob Lowe) and Tom Cullen (Bill Fagerbakke) out of town after Nick tells her that she isn't welcomed to join them. The model she is using actually appears to be the older Remington 760 going off the shape of the front action/grip. In addition (Shawnee Smith) can be seen working the slide action which obviously can't be shown with screencaps.

Remington 760 carbine - .35 Remington.

Julie (Shawnee Smith) fires at Nick and Tom after she is told to get lost by Nick.

It appears that Julie Lawry (Shawnee Smith) is working the slide action.

Unknown Hunting Rifles

Two Boulder Free Zone guards are seen armed with a pair of Scoped Bolt Action Hunting Rifles. One of the guards was Stephen King in a small role. The other guard was played by Mike Lookinland. Lookinland is best known for playing Bobby Brady in the 1970's television series The Brady Bunch. He was also the second camera operator on the production's camera crew.

Submachine guns

Heckler & Koch HK 94

The Heckler & Koch HK 94 can be seen in the car used by Lloyd Henreid (Miguel Ferrer) and Poke (Richard Lineback) before the botched gas station robbery, but was not used. Also seen in the crowd in Las Vegas near the end of episode four.

One of Flagg's men near the end of episode 4

Bobby Terry (Sam Raimi) with older style "slimline" MP5. This is actually a partially-converted HK94, as evidenced by the absence of lugs on the barrel.

Heckler & Koch SP89

The Heckler & Koch SP89 can be seen carried by Flagg's man, Bobby Terry (Sam Raimi). It is used by Bobby Terry (Sam Raimi) to kill Judge Farris (Ossie Davis). There is one shot in the truck in which it appears that Bobby Terry (Sam Raimi) is carrying an older style "slimline" MP5. Possibly a continuity error. Evidently it was very common in the the late eighties and early nineties for the civilian legal SP89 to be converted to full-auto and have the MP5K foregrip added on.

A "faux" Heckler & Koch MP5K - this is an original SP89 pistol converted to full auto fire by a Class III armorer. Giveaways are the lack of a paddle magazine release. This version was also used in movies between 1989 and the late 1990s when factory original MP5Ks were not available - 9x19mm

Bobby Terry (Sam Raimi) prepares to open fire on Judge Ferris (Ossie Davis) while his partner, Dave Roberts (John Dunbar) distracts the judge. Well it seemed like a good plan.

Bobby Terry (Sam Raimi) realizes that he just killed Dave Roberts (John Dunbar) by accident.
