==The photo for the Remington 870 is a Mossberg 500==
 
Note the magtube endcap and the fact that the Foregrip doesn't go all the way to the end. [[User:MoviePropMaster2008|MoviePropMaster2008]] 09:00, 25 November 2009 (UTC)
 
  
OKAY. I saw this page linked from Lance Reddick, noticed it was a disaster area, and decided to help a bit.
 
I added gun pictures, and CAN do links, but YOU(whoever built this page and wants to work on it) need to get screenshots, and need to work on grammar. I capitalized and corrected where I could, but honestly stuff like "superman-shit" doesn't fly, and should be changed by somebody else. To summarize:
 
1: Get screencaps.
 
2: Decide what those "various Glocks," "Desert Eagle" and "SIG P226/P228" are for real.
 
3: Links to gun pages, in the body text(description of how the firearm shows up).
 
Thanks in advance. --[[User:ManiacallyChallenged|ManiacallyChallenged]] 21:18, 5 January 2010 (UTC)
 
 
please keep the 'superman shit' its so funny and thats what omar does. also itssupposed tobe a quoter from chris (i think) later or in the next episode [[user:smish34|smish34]]
 
 
I am attempting to get this page in tip top shape. I've started to add screen caps (I'm currently rewatching the series and will cap as many guns as possible) and will try to condense/clarify the language where I can. [[User:MikePGS|MikePGS]] December 2010
 
 
Just added the category "HK USP" and a picture of Chris Partlow holding a gun. I'm not especially familiar with USP's so that might not be the exact model. Any correction to that post is welcome (if it is incorrect in the first place). Also this seems to add credibility to whoever made the comment under the CZ-75 heading that they used a USP for the killings instead of a CZ-75.[[User:MikePGS|MikePGS]]
 
 
== Glocks ==
 
 
I'm not buying that the Glocks were Glock 22s and 23s. I have been watching this again recently and they always refer to their service weapons as nines. The best example for this is when Bunk is looking for the stolen pistol in I think it's season 3, he always refers to it as a "Department issue nine" when talking about it. --[[User:Cool-breeze|cool-breeze]] 11:13, 13 December 2010 (UTC)
