According to the web comics the sidearm of Thomas Mason is a .45 Para-Ordnance Nite-Tac.Fitz175 07:44, 30 April 2011 (CDT)
Somebody, Anthony I think, has a Berreta 92 INOX.--Mandolin 09:33, 20 June 2011 (CDT)
Maggie (Sarah Carter) has a Colt Model 733 or 933, couldn't make out the handle. --commando552 16:25, 20 June 2011 (CDT)
Which one was she?--Mandolin 20:10, 20 June 2011 (CDT) It looks like an M733--Mandolin 20:20, 20 June 2011 (CDT)
There was also a PKM and an RPK used by the "good guys" against the outlaws at the end. --commando552 07:04, 21 June 2011 (CDT)
Mason's Type 56-1
Does anyone know what Mason has on the stock of his T56-1? It looks like some sort of tape or something. I'm assuming it's to make it a bit more comfortable to fire from the shoulder. --cool-breeze 18:24, 23 June 2011 (CDT)
Looks like duct tape to me. Adds a little pading to the meatl stock.--Mandolin 08:34, 24 June 2011 (CDT)
The tape effectively turns the back of the stock into more of a oval butt plate rather than a hollow U shape. Unfortunately, this would also mean that it would be impossible to unfold/fold the stock with the magazine in place. --commando552 11:45, 24 June 2011 (CDT)
I did think to myself that it would obstruct the folding of the stock. --cool-breeze 14:31, 24 June 2011 (CDT)
Clip vs. Mag
Just watching it now and that was the first time I've seen someone get corrected on calling a magazine a clip in a film or TV programme ever. Nice little touch. So far this series has a lot of promise. --cool-breeze 18:29, 23 June 2011 (CDT)
Maggie's 1911
I caught a re-run of the premier episode and after getting a good look at it, I'm pretty sure that Maggie's 1911 is a Colt Gold Cup National match judging by the sights and slide serrations. ShootingLiberal 02:14, 29 June 2011 (CDT)
Logistical concerns
Alien invasion basically throws the rules out the window I guess but why are Kalashnikov rifles, firing in full auto mind you, more abundant than AR-15 pattern rifles/carbines and other more common sporting and military surplus firearms? It's Boston; Colt and S&W are right down the road...

- I guess. Wolverines. They were more prominent in the pilot so it could have been a budget thing.
7.62mm round is a lot more powerful than a 5.56 so that could be one of the reasons. Also they're a lot more reliable and require less maintenance. --cool-breeze 14:59, 8 July 2011 (CDT)
