Terra Nova (September 2011 - Present)

Terra Nova is a television series airing on Fox that follows an ordinary family on an incredible journey back in time to prehistoric Earth as a small part of a daring experiment to save the human race. In the year 2149, the world is dying. The planet is overdeveloped and overcrowded, with the majority of plant and animal life extinct. The future of mankind is in jeopardy, and its only hope for survival is in the distant past.

The following weapons appear in the television series Terra Nova:

Taurus PT92

In Episode 1 Jim Shannon (Jason O'Mara) can be seen with a customised Taurus PT92AF fitted with a muzzle device, rail system and some form of sight before travelling through the time rift. It can be identified as an early model by the markings on the slide and the fact that the safety catch lacks the ability to rotate down and decock the weapon.

Colt Carbine

Some form of Colt Carbine is used as the basis for one of the rifles used by the Terra Nova settlers, with the overall appearance of a Model 733. All that can be seen of the original weapon is the Birdcage type flash-hider, 30 round magazine and A1 type rear sight. In behind the scenes videos actors can be seen training on Colt carbines that have slab sided lower receivers and lack forward assists and case defelctors, so it is possible that these weapons are chopped down Sporter 1 Carbines.
