Talk:Falling Skies - Season 2

Some random observations from last night's (6/17) episodes for possible addition to the page:

- Tom Mason's Type 56 made a brief appearance when Weaver tried to get him to resume his position as XO.

- The LAW rocket appeared twice, first in Maggie's hands in the opening ambush, later used by Dai to destroy an alien ship's remote control system.

- Matt Mason's weapon of choice appears to be either a Mini 14 or an M2 carbine.

- Pope uses a pump action shotgun (I don't know what type, but it was fitted with an extended mag tube and a pistol grip with no buttstock) in the opening ambush. Anthony later threatens him with it. (Weaver and Hal also pull semiautomatic pistols on him during the confrontation.)

- Maggie appears to now be using either an M4A1 or Model 727, rather than the 733, as her weapon has a longer barrel with the M203 notch.

- One of Pope's "Berserkers" appeared to have a Minimi Para when they mounted up before the bridge crossing.

- Pope continues to carry a revolver, though (if I remember correctly) it appears to be a more modern weapon than the Single Action Army he carried last season.

- One of the fighters seen during the delaying action at the bridge appeared to have a Steyr TMP or similar machine pistol.

- The resistance's technicals are now fitted with what are said to be 20 mm cannons, complete with antiaircraft-type ring sights.

The rifle Weaver got out of the bag was an AKM, not Type 56. Mason changed from a Type 56-1 to an AKM in the first season so it's a safe bet that the rifle Weaver got out was his AKM as the Type 56-1 was lost. And can you please sign your posts. --cool-breeze 07:13, 20 June 2012 (CDT)

anthony's rifle: M1A?

browsing the page while viewing the season premiere -- i'm pretty sure anthony is carrying an M14, or at least something that's supposed to look like one. i brought the screenshot into an image editor and adjusted the toning, and sure enough, there's a selector switch just ahead of anthony's thumb. thoughts?
