I also break gun laws. For one, I think that the Second amendment is my concealed carry "permit," and as long as I don't violate the rights of person or property of any other individual, no one has any business telling me how to live my life. So, I don't actually obey laws so much as to respect the rights of others. (As long as they do the same to me.)

So, politically, you could say that I'm an Individualist/Capitalist Anarchist.

Oh, they ain't scary... trust me on this. According to a" target="_BLANK">http://www.fireflywiki.org/Firefly/CallahanFullboreAutolock">a Firefly Wiki, Vera was built off of a Saiga 12ga. shotgun. If you're unfamiliar with the name, just imagine a 12ga. AK-47!

Yes, I want one. I REALLY want one. (As a companion to my current Kalashnikov rifle, of course...)

For making a prop version, I'm thinking a plastic toy AK with some plastic piping for the barrel and making the stock out of some sheet plastic. Only expensive bit would be the p-rail & scopes to mount on top. The p-rail or picatinny rail is the bar with ladder-like notches along the top that the scopes are attached to. Real-world guns use them to attach everything from scopes to grenade launchers.

Ok, the system ate my link & I don't have time to fiddle with this. http://www.fireflywiki.org/Firefly/CallahanFullboreAutolock is the link.

It's a modified semi-original colt revolver. Possibly first to third model, around late 1800's. The cylinder was removed, and replaced with a clip loading system. The clip loads from the side, interestingly. As evidenced in the scene where they first embark on persephone in the pilot. It also has an electronic part, apparently...which explains the electronic whirl.

Theres a good picture comparision of Mals gun:
http://www.fireflyfans.net/thread.asp?b=2&t=739#64207

I did see an image a little while back that showed Mal's pistol as the various parts were being added to the basic pistol, which would make it easy to find out what gun was used. Unfortunatly I found it while searching for refrence images for my 3D model of the gun, and I didn't need that image so I never saved it. I did a few searches on Google, but as ussual since I'm actually looking for it I can't find it.

I did manage to get some really good reference images I didn't find before, great now that I don't need them .

I originally found them on Google, either image or web search, you can try looking for them.

Does anyone have a link to this? Or at least a name for the AirSoft gun?

Also, anyone know anything about the trigger guard on her gun?

Edit: Or the lever rather.

I figure most interested in Mal's piece have seen this, but for those that haven't, quite a bit's been learned since 2004 :D --

This is prolly the definative thread on the piece:

Envy Thread: Mal's Pistol from Firefly:
http://www.rpf.invisionzone.com/index.php?showtopic=89945

Lots of yummy pictures to. :)

There's also this, which was looking at some of revolvers mentioned as the base gun (back when there was some confusion over the exact model of Taurus):

And finally, here's the guy selling those resin casts of the original:

RPF is closed to new membership now, I think, but should reopen in April(?).. they have "new membership windows" every few months, and if you try to sign in it'll tell you when the next one is.

(There's a couple other ones out there as well, but I'm not certain of the links.. search on "A Site About Props" "Blaster Builders Club" and... oh heck, find one, there's usually links to others. :) )
