V is the 1983 classic science fiction miniseries which originally aired over two nights on NBC. In the miniseries, an alien race, who come to be known as "The Visitors", lands on Earth with the promise of peace and prosperity for humanity. When the truth behind their arrival is uncovered, several humans then agree to form an underground resistance movement against the Visitors. The story was continued in the 1984 sequel miniseries (V: The Final Battle) and in a weekly format (V: The Series). The premise would be reimagined in a 2009 television remake that aired on ABC.
The following weapons were used in the miniseries V: The Original Miniseries:
M16
At the beginning of the miniseries, Mike Donovan (Marc Singer) is seen covering the war in El Salvador where rebels use M16 rifles against a government helicopter. Resistance fighters also use the M16 against the Visitor sky-fighters in the climax of the miniseries after they successfully raid a California National Guard armory under Visitor guard.
Ruger AC556K
A rebel fighter in El Salvador is seen using a Ruger AC556K against government helicopters.
Heckler & Koch HK93
The UN guards are seen armed with Heckler & Koch HK93 rifles when the Visitors land on the UN building.
M60
The M60 machine gun is used by both rebels as well as government forces at the beginning. The GPMG is also seen in the National Guard armory that the Resistance raids at the climax of the series.
Browning M1919
Browning M1919 machine guns are briefly seen in the National Guard armory that the Resistance raids.
Colt MK IV Series 70
The Colt MK IV Series 70 is used by a rebel leader at the beginning to take down a government helicopter. Judging from the muzzle it appears to be chambered in 9mm which was more reliable with blanks at the time.
Heckler & Koch P9S
A Heckler & Koch P9S is the handgun used by Juliet Parish (Faye Grant) against the Visitor sky-fighter carrying Diana (Jane Badler) during the closing battle of the miniseries.
Remington 700
Resistance fighters use Remington 700 rifles in their raid of the National Guard armory.
Remington 870
