S01E02 Russian Roulette Revolver

The revolver that is held to the rebel's head appears to be a non gun as it has no markings and looks 'too smooth' to me - which would make sense from an actor safety standpoint. I'd say it's standing in for something similar to a .357 Model 65. I made another pass and in the scenes without the actor in frame it is an actual pistol - and it still looks like a Model 65 to me.

Smith and Wesson Model 65 - .357 Magnum. Four inch barrel and rubber grips.

The gun held to the actors head definitely has the Smith & Wesson trademarks on the frame underneath the cylinder and ahead of the trigger guard. There are also the markings on the barrel on the same gun. --SmithandWesson36 (talk) 18:44, 5 October 2012 (EDT)

So you think it's just the glare in this image obscuring the trademarks? I could see that. --bunni (talk) 00:04, 6 October 2012 (EDT)

Useless electronics on guns

Someone should note that the Eotechs and laser sights aren't working anymore, so in Eotechs case it would actually make aiming harder. --Iceman (talk) 14:17, 16 October 2012 (EDT)

agreed might be airsoft did any one see them being fired as no energy no red dot on the screen in front of your eye acog sights that use the light pipe might work --Seekerdude (talk) 20:01, 16 October 2012 (EDT)

Well iron sights and anything like them will work no others, because as far as I can understand the concept, its not like an EMP it doesn't fry stuff it simply eliminates anything electric, so for example a hand operated generator will not work.

As the mechanism that caused the blackout hasn't been explained in anyway yet, it is hard to say what kind of illuminating scopes would work. Stuff that illuminates the reticle through fibre optics would work, phosphorescent sights would probably work, and tritium sights would possible work. However based on the fact that nothing that generates electricity works any more it seems like something is suppressing electrons from flowing which would also mean that tritium sights would not work (these glow by electrons given off through radioactive decay hitting a phosphor). I'm probably over thinking it though, as if this was the case then the human body wouldn't work either, so I can think of no explanation that makes any kind of scientific sense. --commando552 (talk) 07:57, 17 October 2012 (EDT)

eotech's work on batteries right, so the wont work.--Iceman (talk) 15:05, 17 October 2012 (EDT)

They will if they're magical batteries...--Commander Lukas (talk) 17:16, 17 October 2012 (EDT)

Revolvers "Sex and Drugs"

Can anybody identify the two revolvers given to Aaron and Nora by Drexel to shoot each other with?

M4 ACOG from "Nobody's Fault But Mine"

When Miles carries an M4A1 carbine towards the end of "Nobody's Fault But Mine", I was wondering. Does ACOG scopes work without batteries? Dangerman1973 (talk) 14:10, 27 November 2012 (EST)

Real Trijicon ACOGs contain no electrical components whatsoever. So yes, it works without batteries. The Wierd It (talk) 14:34, 27 November 2012 (EST)

Even with no illumination you would still have the normal reticle. Day time illumination would be fine as that uses a light gathering fibre optic tube. As for the night time tritium illumination, I'm not 100% sure that would work, depends on the magical physical rules of the blackout which haven't been explained. --commando552 (talk) 16:02, 27 November 2012 (EST)
