Sanctuary was a Canadian-produced science fiction television series that aired in the US on Syfy (formerly known as the Sci-Fi Channel). The series premiered in 2007 and was originally a series of 8 webisodes which were sold directly to viewers through the official website. Thanks to its success on the internet, the Syfy channel commissioned a 13 episode series for 2008, with the first 4 webisodes being re-cut and re-shot into the two hour pilot. The show was groundbreaking in that the majority of the series' backgrounds and sets are virtual. The actors do all of their work on massive green screen sets and nearly nothing that is seen in the show (other than the actors) actually exist outside the parameters of CGI rendering software. The show is also notable as being the first television show in North America to use the RED camera exclusively, with all material being recorded digitally, eliminating tape from the process completely.

The following weapons were used in the television series Sanctuary:

Pistols

Colt Commander

A Colt Commander is the normal side arm of Dr. Helen Magnus (Amanda Tapping) for the majority of the series. It can be distinguished from a regular 1911 by its slightly shorter barrel, and rounded hammer with a hole through it. It has been used on occasion to fire special tranquilizer bullets.

Colt Combat Commander - .45 ACP

Dr. Magnus carries her Colt Commander with a suppressor fitted in "Instinct" (S1E11).

"Penance" (S2E09).

This shot, also from "Penance" (S2E09) clearly shows the rounded hammer of the Colt Commander. The Taurus PT911SS is the pistol carried by Jimmy (Michael Shanks, Tapping's former Stargate SG-1 co-star).

Whilst posing as bank robbers in "Bank Job" (S3E03), Dr Magnus points her Colt Commander at a bank employee as she forces him to lock the doors. In this profile shot the barrel length and hammer are visible.

In "Carentan" (S3E18) Dr. Magnus' Colt Commander appears to be fitted with a grooved wraparound grip.

M1911A1

A regular Colt M1911A1 is briefly used by Ashley Magnus (Emilie Ullerup) in "Fata Morgana" (S1E03). Dr. Magnus (Amanda Tapping) switches from her Colt Commander to the full size M1911A1 (along with a smaller back up gun) at the start of Season 4.

Shown again in "Tempus" (S4E01), the M1911A1 is visible in the pile of Dr. Magnus' belongings along with a Walther PPK, butterfly knife, credit card holder and mobile phone (none of which are 1898 appropriate).

Dr. Watson (Peter Wingfield) in "Tempus" (S4E01) marvels at the concept of a detachable magazine in a pistol. Although rare in 1898, this concept would not have been totally unheard of with the Borchardt C-93 having been invented in 1893.

Walther P99

A Walther P99 can be seen briefly in "Folding Man" (S1E04).

Walther P99 - 9x19mm

From the shape of the trigger guard and accessory rail, it can be seen that this is a 1st generation, pre-2004 model.

SIG-Sauer P225

One of the main weapons carried by Kate Freelander (Agam Darshi) is a SIG-Sauer P225, and is seen as such in a number of episodes.

Kate uses a Beretta Cougar 8000F in "Fragments" (S2E06).

Beretta Cougar 8000F - 9x19mm

Kate holds her Cougar, radio and GPS. Busy girl.

This shot confirms that the weapon has a slide mounted safety (hence why it is standard F configuration) and the standard heavy slide, rather than the lightened slide of the 8000L.

Unidentified 1911 Type pistol

At several points throughout the series, Dr. Magnus' Colt Commander changes into an unknown 1911 type pistol, sometimes in the middle of a scene. It seems to have a double stack magazine, stainless steel hammer, front and rear slide serrations and enlarged sights.

In this image from "Haunted" (S2E11) the front and rear slide serrations, and the different sights are visible. Also, the bottom of the magazine is visible, which appears to be of the double stack variety.

In this shot from "Bank Job" (S3E03) the profile of the pistol is visible, along with the fact that it has a stainless steel hammer.

Desert Eagle Mark VII

A Desert Eagle Mark VII is used in "For King and Country" (S3E08). The pistol has either a nickel or gold plated finish, but it is hard to tell which due to the lighting.

Desert Eagle MK VII with nickel finish - .44 Magnum

In this shot the safety catch and lack of scope rail are visible, identifying this as a Mk VII.

Dr. Magnus takes the Desert Eagle and turns the tables on her would be captors.

Walther P99QA

The current production model of the Walther P99, the Quick Action, can be seen in several episodes in Season 3, and appears to be the current preferred sidearm of Kate Freelander (Agam Darshi).

Walther P99QA (Quick Action) - 9x19mm. Note the changes in trigger guard, slide and frame (2004+ models).

Walther PPK - .380 ACP (9x17mm)

A Walther PPK is visible in the pile of Dr. Magnus' belongings along with an M1911A1, butterfly knife, credit card holder and mobile phone (none of which are 1898 appropriate).

TiSAS Zigana F

Nicholls (Tora Hylands), one of the criminals in "Monsoon" (S4E04), uses a pair of TiSAS Zigana F pistols which are later taken and hidden by Dr. Magnus (Amanda Tapping). These pistols have the F length slide but do not appear to have the railed frame. They also have the earlier version grips with vertical ribbing suggesting that these pistols may be an early variant.

"The Duke" threatens Jimmy (Michael Shanks) with his Colt Python. Note how the gun, though with a somewhat long barrel, features only two vents in the rib, not three as it would be on a 6" variant.

Ruger Speed Six

A blued Ruger Speed Six snub can be seen in "Trail of Blood" (S3E04).

Ruger Speed Six with blued finish and 2.75-inch barrel - .357 Magnum

A close up shot of the muzzle end of the revolver in mid cock. Unfortunately, the manufacturers marks are just out of focus, however their pattern is the same as that of the Speed Six. Furthermore, the shape of the ejector shroud, as well as the hole in the side of it, matches the Speed Six, as does the relationship between the bolt notches and cylinder fluting.

Single Action Army

When transported back in time to 1898 in "Tempus" (S04E01) Dr. Magnus uses a time-period appropriate Single Action Army to replace her Colt M1911A1.

Shotguns

Winchester Model 1887

One of the fictional stun weapons in the series appears to be a slightly modified version of the triple barrelled Bone Jack originally seen in Blade: Trinity, Stargate: Atlantis and Eureka, which is a heavily dressed up Winchester Model 1887.

Bone Jack from Blade: Trinity

Dr Magnus is seen with the weapon in question in "Fata Morgana" (S1E03).

Side by Side Shotgun

A Side by Side Shotgun appear in "Edward" (S1E08). It appears to be a short barrelled “coach gun”, which is a legal weapon as opposed to a sawed off shotgun.

The shotgun in question is seen here on the man's lap, upside down with the trigger facing upwards towards the camera. It can be seen in this photo that the shotgun has a full stock, and it is likely that the barrels are 18" (minimum legal length).

A close up of the action of the coach gun as it is being loaded, showing that it is of a type with internal hammers.

Unidentified Pump Action Shotgun

A pump action shotgun is carried by Ashley in "Fata Morgana" (S1E03)

Submachine Guns

Heckler & Koch MP5A3

A number of Heckler & Koch MP5A3s are seen throughout the series used by all sides. The current variant of the MP5 that seems to be favoured by the armourers on the show is fitted with a UMP-style folding stock, a RIS forend with vertical grip and ACOG sight.

A MAC-11 is used by one of "The Duke's" henchmen in "Penance" (S2E09).

RPB Industries M11A1 - .380 ACP

The henchmen left aims his MAC-11. Not that it would do him much good however, as the bolt is forward and the M11 can only fire from an open bolt.

M1928A1 Thompson

M1928A1 Thompsons can be seen being used by both resistance fighters and US soldiers in "Normandy" (S3E17). It is likely that these were deactivated weapons or non-firing props, as for firing scenes these guns change to M1 Thompsons.

Remington Model 700

A variant of the Remington Model 700 is used by a police sniper in "Bank Job" (S3E03) fitted with a bi-pod and telescopic sight. From the shape and texturing of the furniture, it appears to be fitted with a Macmillan A4 Tactical Stock, as seen on the M40A3 Sniper Rifle.

M40A3 - 7.62x51mm NATO

The rifle in question can be seen being used by the officer on the left.

Another Remington 700 rifle in a Choate Super Sniper Stock can be seen in Webisode 3, being examined by Ashley when she meets her gun dealer. This is not a Savage 10FP as previously identified - Note the location and distinctive shape of the bolt handle, and the presence of a bolt shroud behind the bolt handle, a feature the Savage action does not have.

Ashley takes the scope-less Remington 700 from the gun dealer, before trying the SL8 that he is holding in his other hand.

Machine Guns

Browning M2HB

The Private Military Contractors in "Carentan" (S3E18) have Browning M2HBs mounted on some of their HMMWVs, fitted with a USGI bolt on flash hider.

Browning M2HB on vehicle mount - .50 BMG

An M2HB can be briefly seen on the cupola of a HMMWV as it drives past in an establishing shot.

The HMMWV on the left of frame is fitted with an M2HB.

Unknown Machine Gun

A Machine gun of some description can briefly be seen mounted on the sidecar of a German motorbike as it passes through a checkpoint at the start of "Normandy" (S3E17). It is only visible from the front, but it doesn't appear to be a German machine gun, but could be a Browning M1919.

Heavy Weapons

M72 LAW

In "Kali: Part 3" (S3E01) Dr Magnus uses a M72 LAW.

M72A2 LAW - 66mm

Dr Magnus prepares to fire the LAW from an RHIB, in order to destroy another ships targeting radar.

M20A1 "Super Bazooka"

An M20A1 "Super Bazooka" can be seen being (anachronistically) used by an unnamed US Paratrooper to destroy a German tank in "Normandy" (S3E17).

M20A1 "Super Bazooka" - 3.5"

The soldier moves into position with his Super Bazooka.

The Super Bazooka is fired at a German tank.

Starstreak HVM

A number of shoulder launched Starstreak HVM launchers are used by the Private Military Contractors in "Carentan" (S3E18). Although the launch tube and attached aiming unit match those of the real world Starstreak, the missile has a conventional appearance more akin to an artillery shell, rather than the unusual and distinctive triple sub-munition warhead of the Starstreak. Furthermore, the missile is incorrectly depicted as a stand alone round that is loaded into the launch tube rather than the launch tube being a sealed round in and of itself.

Starstreak HVM MANPADS

M230 Chain Gun

A pair of chin mounted M230 Chain Guns can be seen on Dr. Magnus' private jet in "Monsoon" (S4E04).

Hughes/Alliant Techsystems M230 Chain Gun - 30mm

The cannons are disables by an EMP device (which looks reminiscent of the "Ghost Trap" from Ghostbusters.

Other

Webley Tempest Air Pistol

Webley Tempest air pistols are occasionally used by Sanctuary personnel to shoot tranquilliser darts to capture abnormals.

Webley Tempest Pistol

Dr Helen Magnus (Amanda Tapping) uses a Webley tempest in “Sanctuary for All” (Season 1, Episode 1).

Declan MacRae (Robert Lawrenson) and Dr. Will Zimmerman (Robin Dunne) both use Webley Tempests in “Hero” (Season 2, Episode 4).

Glock 17 RAM

What appears to be a Glock 17 Real Action Marker (paint ball gun) is used in "Sleepers" (S2E10). It is likely that the reason for this was that the gun was fired very close to an actors head, and the compressed air action of this type of weapon means that the action cycles, recoil is created, and a blast of air is created with minimal risk to the actor due to lack of pyrotechnics.

Glock 17 RAM

The gas cartridge can be seen protruding from the bottom of the magazine in this shot, where the blast of air created from firing blows the targets hair.

Advanced Taser M26

One of the hijackers uses an Advanced Taser M26 in the contact mode to stun Kate in "Hero: Part II" (S3E05). Note that this weapon does seem to use a slightly different colour scheme to the regular M26, so it is possible that this is a replica of some sort or has been modified.

Advanced Taser M26

Note the absence of the stun cartridge, allowing the M26 to be used in the contact mode, as is the case here.

"Tranquillizer Rifle"

SCIU agent in "Resistance" (S4E05) use a tranquillizer rifle to subdue an abnormal. This rifle appears to actually be based on a paintball gun.

The SCIU agent on the left is carrying the rifle.

Fictional Weapons

Due to the premise of the show (capturing abnormal creatures alive) there are a great number of esoteric, fictional weapons used by the Sanctuary personnel. Normally these are stun weapons of some sort.

Ashley uses a stun weapon in Webisode 8.

Another view of the same weapon, showing the emitter dish at the front.

Dr. Magnus is seen with a fictional weapon in "Fata Morgana" (S1E03). This appears to be a slightly modified version of the triple barrelled weapon that is seen in Blade: Trinity, Stargate: Atlantis and Eureka, which is a heavily dressed up Winchester Model 1887.

For reference, the original gun from Blade: Trinity where it was known as the "Bone Jack". It was nicknamed "The Mud-Flap Gun" by the production crew for obvious reasons.

A stun weapon is used by Henry in "Instinct" (S1E11) which appears to be an Anti Replicator Gun (ARG) from the Stargate franchise.

For reference, an ARG as used in Stargate SG-1 and Stargate: Atlantis.

In "End of Nights: Part 2" (S2E02), Dr. Magnus wields a large weapon designed specifically to kill vampire hybrids, which are attacking the Sanctuary.

A closer view of the same gun

This stun weapon first appears in "Eulogy" (S2E02) and becomes the standard non lethal weapon for a period, and is used on multiple occasions.

A good shot of Declan MacRae (Robert Lawrenson) using the weapon in "Hero" (S2E04) showing the barrel arrangement.

As can be seen here, this weapon was clearly mass produced, and is seen in great numbers.

In the post-apocalyptic future portrayed in "Pavor Nocturnus" (S2E05) a number of energy weapons are used by the survivors.

The future Will points one of the weapons at the current day Dr. Magnus.

The same model used to portray the future weapon from "Pavor Nocturnus" is subsequently used to portray a stun gun used by the current day Sanctuary network. Here Henry can be seen tinkering with one in its first appearance in "Haunted" (S2E11) with one of the side panels removed.

The same gun is used on a number of occasions, such as in "Firewall" (S3E02) where it is used by Henry to help subdue a giant lizard abnormal.

A number of these stunners can often been seen in Sanctuary team vehicles, such as here in "Monsoon" (S4E04).

Dr. Magnus and Henry both carry stunners when the infiltrate the SCIU base in "Resistance" (S4E05).

Also in "Firewall" (S2E02), Dr Magnus uses this large electrified net launcher to capture an abnormal.

Trivia

Fake German tank

In "Normandy" (S3E17), the World War II era German tank is in reality a visually modified Russian T-55, recognized by the D-10T 100mm rifled gun.

James Watson (Peter Wingfield) tries to bluff his way past a German checkpoint in his commandeered tank. The D-10T 100mm rifled gun is a giveaway that this is actually a modern Russian T-55.
