New SF's 4 CSI this season

Anyone identify the new models used?

They seem to favor the M4, must have good camera appeal. Stargate SG1 and Atlantis also seem to like the M4.

Maybe because they support domestic hardware? plus the AR15 is easy to customize and extremly common in police agencys, hence good camara apeal since its widely known and accepted as the "good guys" gun.

I think they are talking about the Surefire M4 Devastator, not the Colt M4A1 Carbine.

Oh yeah, I didn't make the connection. I sure was talking about the Surefire M4 Flashlight not the rifle.

I saw CSI NY last night and the lead character was using a Surefire A2, in red led mode and incandescent mode. When I mentioned it to my wife she called me a geek.

hahaha, sorry, I was mistaken, I am guessing I am the only gun nut who enjoy identifying guns in films, plus criticizing their gun safety or lack of realism.

Not your fault. I am a gunlover who lives in California so I have had my natural love of anything made by Colt or any variation thereof sucked away by those anti in Sacramento. ME, bitter, naw. Just protected from the evils of assult weapons.

The new Sci-fi series Surface and invasion also use SF M4. The lights don't seem to be bright. Do you guys think the special effects guys drained the batteries to dim the lights?

My Gladius seem alot brighter than M4

The M4 is very bright. I have seen many times when the batteries are drained on the shows. Also, there is alot of ambient light in the shots in order for the cameras to properly capture the scenes, so the M4 will seem dimmer than it really is. They could also be purposely lowering the output of the light so that it does not wash out the rest of the scene on camera because of the severe light contrast.

You gotta love the use of the P90 in Stargate SG1.

On CSI Miami one of the guys always seems to use a Surefire L4.

Ya that movie blows, but I do love that PSG1, its the only movie I recall seeing a PSG1 used that much.

Yes, the only reason I watch STARGATE here and there is for their gear, do you remember one of the episodes with the Russians, they had AK105!!!
