The standard-issue Colonial sidearm (introduced in the [[Miniseries]]) is according to Ron Moore's commentary an exact replica of the (fictional) sidearm used in the movie ''[[w:Blade Runner|Blade Runner]]'' (also starring [[Edward James Olmos]]) <ref>However, contrary to Moore's comment, the pistols aren't identical. While the Colonial sidearm is obviously modeled after the [http://props.steinschneider.com/brblaster/bldrpics01.htm ''Blade Runner'' blaster], the guns differ in many details.</ref>. The standard service handgun used by the Colonial forces appears to be a modernized version of the [[w:LeMat|LeMat revolver]] of the US Civil War, with a revolver-like pistol grip and a large barrel beneath the primary barrel. From closer examination of the handgun, it appears that the handgun used in the Miniseries and Season 1 was built around a [[Wikipedia:Smith & Wesson|Smith & Wesson]] K-Frame or L-Frame revolver. This sidearm is nicknamed the "Colonial Clamshell" by a propmaster in [[David Eick]]'s 18th video blog. | The standard-issue Colonial sidearm (introduced in the [[Miniseries]]) is according to Ron Moore's commentary an exact replica of the (fictional) sidearm used in the movie ''[[w:Blade Runner|Blade Runner]]'' (also starring [[Edward James Olmos]]) <ref>However, contrary to Moore's comment, the pistols aren't identical.

The Miniseries version had hardly any real functionality and was redesigned almost from scratch for Season 1 when scripts required more specific actions with the guns. | The Miniseries version had hardly any real functionality and was redesigned almost from scratch for Season 1 when scripts required more specific actions with the guns. After that it was redesigned again and, starting with the early second season, the original sidearms have been nearly completely replaced by the [[w:Five-seveN|Fabrique Nationale Five-seveN]], also dressed up with an underbarrel explosive launcher. This changeover allows for real semi-automatic fire and on-screen reloads {{TRS|Home, Part II}}, and makes use of the existing stores of 5.7 x 28 mm (FN P-90) blank ammunition. The FN Five-seveN handgun (without the grenade launcher) has made an appearance in ''Caprica'' with Caprica City Spaceport police officers using their Five-seveNs against STO members in one episode. | ||

A very slightly disguised Czech [[w:Vz 52 (pistol)|CZ-52 service pistol]] is used by the Cylons on New Caprica. This is the gun that Doral shoots Caprica-Six with and threatens Baltar with in "[[Precipice]]". It is also the same gun that Gaeta almost shoots Baltar with in "[[Exodus, Part II]]" and in turn almost shoots D'Anna. The gun was probably chosen for the futuristic "rocketeer" shape and because it is extremely inexpensive as a military surplus collectible. Interestingly this gun is very reliable, extremely accurate and is about as effective at penetrating armor as the FN Five SeveN, which costs about ten times as much. | A very slightly disguised Czech [[w:Vz 52 (pistol)|CZ-52 service pistol]] is used by the Cylons on New Caprica.
