Sanctuary cast for season 2 onwards.

Sanctuary is a Canadian Science Fiction television show that currently airs on the Syfy Channel (formerly known as the Sci-Fi Channel). The series premiered in 2007 and was originally a series of 8 webisodes which were sold directly to viewers through the official website. Thanks to its success on the internet, the Syfy channel commissioned a 13 episode series for 2008, with the first 4 webisodes being re-cut and re-shot into the two hour pilot. Since then, two seasons have been shot (season 2 with 13 episodes and season 3 with 20) and talks are currently ongoing for a fourth. The show is groundbreaking in that the majority of the series' backgrounds and sets are virtual. The actors do all of their work on massive green screen sets and nearly nothing that is seen in the show (other than the actors) actually exist outside the parameters of CGI rendering software. The show is also notable as being the first television show in North America to use the RED camera exclusively, with all material being recorded digitally, eliminating tape from the process completely.

The following weapons were used in the series Sanctuary:


Pistols

Colt Commander

A Colt Commander is the normal side arm of Dr Helen Magnus (Amanda Tapping) for the majority of the series. It can be distinguished from a regular 1911 by its slightly shorter barrel, and rounded hammer with a hole through it. It has been used on occasion to fire special tranquilizer bullets.

Starstreak HVM

A number of Starstreak Hyper Velocity Missiles MANPADS are used by the Private Military Contractors in "Carentan" (Season 3, Episode 18). Although the launch tube and attached aiming unit match those of the real world Starstreak, the missile has a conventional appearance more akin to an artillery shell, rather than the unusual and distinctive triple sub-munition warhead of the Starstreak. Furthermore, the missile is incorrectly depicted as a stand alone round that is loaded into the launch tube rather than the launch tube being a sealed round in and of itself.

Glock 17 RAM

What appears to be a Glock 17 Real Action Marker (paint ball gun) is used in “Sleepers” (Season 2, Episode 10). It is likely that the reason for this was that the gun was fired very close to an actors head, and the compressed air action of this type of weapon means that the action cycles, recoil is created, and a blast of air is created with minimal risk to the actor due to lack of pyrotechnics.

The gas cartridge can be seen protruding from the bottom of the magazine in this shot, where the blast of air created from firing blows the targets hair.

Advanced Taser M26

One of the hijackers uses a Advanced Taser M26 in the contact mode to stun Kate in "Hero II" (Season 3, Episode 5). Note that this weapon does seem to use a slightly different colour scheme to the regular M26, so it is possible that this is a replica of some sort or has been modified.

Note the absence of the stun cartridge, allowing the M26 to be used in the contact mode, as is the case here.

Fictional Weapons

Due to the premise of the show (capturing abnormal creatures alive) there are a great number of esoteric, fictional weapons used by the Sanctuary personnel. Normally these are stun weapons of some sort.

Dr Magnus is seen with a fictional weapon in "Fata Morgana" (Season 1, Episode 3). This appears to be a slightly modified version of the triple barrelled weapon that is seen in Blade: Trinity, Stargate: Atlantis and Eureka, which is a heavily dressed up Winchester Model 1887.

For reference, the original gun from Blade: Trinity where it was known as the "Bone Jack". It was nicknamed "The Mud-Flap Gun" by the production crew for obvious reasons.
