(i moved all the talky bits here)

PPK

Ok, so I'm not 100% sure of the PPK as it features no Walther markings or the slide release at the side of the gun. It also features different grips then the PPK. I have difficulty placing the gun, as it bears many features that are common with a Makarov pistol. If anyone is able to correctly identify the gun, then please notify me and update the article.

If you look closely, it appears to say "made in France" on the gun. It looks an awful lot to me like it could be a blank-firing replica.
OK, I just looked at a picture of a Manurhin PPK copy (which I didn't know even existed), and I have to agree with you...that's definitely what it is.


Beretta

The gun appears to be, at first, a Beretta M92FS Inox. However, the gun features a slightly shorter barrel than the FS, aswell as having a shorter profile overall.

That is definitely not anything in the 92 series. It looks more like a Beretta Cheetah (84F) to me.
forgot all about the cheetah. cheers Chef Brian Vrooom


Uday's Revolver

Ok, so once again i'm unsure about the revolver used. To me, it looks like a S&W 686 or a 586. However, the rear of the gun (eg, the hammer) looks unfamiliar to me. Chef Brian Vrooom

I'm not sure what to think myself. The hammer actually looks more consistent with something from the Ruger Security Six series, but that's not what it is, due to barrel profile. Since we know the PPK is actually a Manurhin copy, I wouldn't be surprised if it's actually something that wasn't made in the U.S.
BTW, dunno if you heard, but HBO finally brought this show to the States. It premiered Dec. 7th on these shores. -MT2008 03:01, 12 December 2008 (UTC)
I didn't know that it was on over in the states, thanks for telling me. I agree that the firearm is probably something exotic. It seems to be a theme in this program, using uncommon guns... Chef Brian Vrooom 17:15, 12 December 2008 (UTC)
I missed the first part (the night it premiered, I had an exam the next morning), but caught the second, and third airs this Sunday. Anyway, I gather from the previews that Uday's revolver appears in that episode. Maybe I'll have a chance to figure out what it is after I see it myself. -MT2008 23:52, 12 December 2008 (UTC)
Yeah I think (if I remember correctly) that the revolver is seen in the second episode and is in the fourth as well, although it's only seen briefly in that episode. Chef Brian Vrooom 13:12, 13 December 2008 (UTC)


There was a Taurus Model 66 Revolver fully engraved and 24K Gold Plated that was a gift to Saddam that sold at a auction. Taurus never delivered it due to the embargo and it was sold here in the States. - Phoenixent

Thanks for identifying the revolver. It's been bugging me since I made this thing. Chef BrianHello!

M203 + M16A2

These are both M16A1s, if you look at the rear sight. Not accurate for American soldiers to be using at the time in which the scene takes place.

i always get confused as to which M16 is which. cheers Chef Brian Vrooom
