Remington Model 1867 Rolling Block

What appears to be a Remington Model 1867 Rolling Block Carbine appears in "Un trabajo involuntario" (S1E13) in the hands of a prison security guard. This rifle is highly antiquated for the early 2000s setting (with its last recorded use being during the First World War) and it is not elaborated why a prison guard would be using one.

Remington Model 1867 Rolling Block Carbine - .43 Spanish

The prison guard watches Ravenna and Lamponne's path with his Remington Rolling Block in his hands in "Un trabajo involuntario" (S1E13).

The security guard secures Ravenna and Lampone's passage again, but now from above with his Remington Rolling Block in "Un trabajo involuntario" (S1E13).

Unknown Rifle

During "Un trabajo involuntario" (S1E13), a prison guard uses an unknown rifle while guiding Medina through the facility. It's probably some .22 LR rifle due to its size. Like the aforementioned Rolling Block, a .22 LR rifle would be quite an inappropriate weapon for modern law enforcement use.

The prison guard holds his unidentified rifle.

Other

TV Guns

When Milazzo watches TV to see an advertisement for a military reality show, the latter uses clips from an unidentified film starring Chuck Norris (who can be seen throwing a grenade) and from the film Commando.

John Matrix (Arnold Schwarzenegger) fires his M202A1 FLASH mock-up. Somehow, he fires a rocket from the same tube as before.
