That's an AUG but in the first year he used a P220, then a Bren Ten and finally a SW 645 or was it a 4506?

Looks like a queer with a cheap paintball gun. |

|
Yep, Bren Ten, the gun on the show was converted to shoot 45ACP blanks because 10mm blanks were impossible to find back then. Remember this gun was on the cutting edge of technology back then. |

TONY ACARO, TONY ACARO that's who the crazy dude dry-walled into the wall of the run down
old building in that episode. Damm I miss Miami Vice. |
|
How about Tubbs' cool sawed-off shotgun he carried as a pistol?
|
|
|
wasn't Eagle's lead man Glen Frey in a bunch of episodes, as a "recovering" drug smuggler or some such? ar-jedi |
|
Check out the episode "Smugglers Blues." First time I ever saw an AR with a beta mag. It was a near religious experience.
|
|
Yeah, but Crockett never shot anybody with him. Woody |
|
|
passed on a bren ten at a gun show a few years ago for like 650 bucks. I still regret it sometimes...
|
|
That was the best fuckin' episode of Miami Vice! |
|
|
The one that never ran out of ammo and could throw a dude 20 feet dead with a hit to the buttocks.
Given that last picture, the one that goes the best with a shitload of eyeliner. |
|
I know he used a 4506 for a few years. I remember one episode they used full auto stainless mini-14's also.
The Willie Nelson episode was the best. |
|
I don't know, I've seen a Bren Ten that was pretty beat-up because previous owner(s) shot full power factory ammo thru it. I have a Bren Ten but I only shoot my mild reload 45ACP-level ammo and even then the friggin extractor flew off(thank goodness I found the sucker on the range floor, I would probably be screwed). This gun is not like a Colt etc where if you wear out the frame, you can get a new one, when the frame is worn you've got a paper weight. |

Yeah, dat shizzle was Class 3, weren't it? Never saw no goldarn tax stamp! |
|

Bren Ten... I'd never heard of it... but then I was a kid in the 80s. Looks like it's based off of a CZ / EAA design... the frame on the outside of the slide, instead of the other way.
Interesting. I do know Don Johnson used a Commander size 1911 with a compensator in .38 Super in Nash Bridges. |
|
i don't remember the name of that rifle but it sounds really GHEY
|
|
I thought it was a Datonix in .45 for the handgun...
All those years I was wrong... O well, I love mine anyway! |

The creator of the show wanted the star to have SotA firearms. Toward the end of the Miami Vice show, they switched over to a S&W 4506. The Bren Ten was based on the CZ75 as suggested by shooting guru Jeff Cooper. The gun was made by Dornan & Dixon Enterprise of Huntington Beach Calif. Want more info on the Bren Ten?

|
|
Negative, "No Exit" with Bruce Willis was the best one. |

|
On the subject of "what kind of gun", what was the scoped rifle that Mel Gibson used in the desert scene to take out the bad guys?
|
|
Well, for those of you (like me) suffering from Miami Vice Withdrawal Syndrome, it will be playing daily on Spike, starting this week, I think.
DVR's, ENGAGE! |
|
Don't forget, Seasons 1 & 2 are out on DVD....Buy 'em both , you can watch them whenever you want.
The only problem with Universal is they take a while between season releases, unlike some companies which seem to release new seasons of shows every month. January Season 3 of Magnum comes out for those interested! |

Their re-making Miami Vice into a movie, starring Colin Farrel and Jamie Foxx:

Crockett's Sidearms: Must disagree about what has been written on some online rags; a few things didn't add up so I went and did some looking...
Crocket carries the Browning BDA/Sig 220 for the pilot up until "Evan" (Near the end of Season 1) where he picks up the Bren 10 and carries it up until after "Irish Eyes are Crying" (with Liam Neeson) in season 3, after which he trades up to a (very sweet) Heinie Full House Compensated M1911A1 for the remainder of the season. Season 4 is where the S&W 645 appeared and was used until the end of the show. Miami Vice ended in 1989: the 4506 was not a possibility because third Generation pistols didn't make it to market until the Spring of 1990. |
|
I don't think they're going to be able to ull that off.... |
|
|
This is not correct. He has the Browning BDA (Sig P220) in the pilot, and then has the Bren Ten in the first regular season episode which is "Heart of Darkness." The S&W 4506 he wears at the end of the series is actually one of the very early transition models and was actually marked as a 645. |

I think thast I've watched all of the epsisodes but I don't remember this one... |

That episode was "El Viejo". It was good, but the best was the season 2 premier, "Prodical Son". Next was "Definately Miami" with Ted Nugent as the bad guy. Third would be "Out where the busses don't run" (The episode this thread was started on). Of couse, these picks IMHO.. It was a kick ass show for the first 2 seasons. Then it started to slip. The story lines started to get really "Weak". Too much Gina and Trudy love life crap. Alien abductions, etc... I was turned on to some good music because of that show. They used several rock stars in the plots. Phil Collins, Ted Nugent, Frank Zappa, The guy from Duran Duran(?), Glen Frey. Probably others that I can't remember right away. I especially liked the episode "Calderone's Return" where Crockett and Tubbs have to go to Costa Mirada to get Calderone. The beginning of the episode does a lengthy scene where Crockett and Tubbs are in the Scarrab running flat out across the open ocean in slow motion to the music of Russ Ballard's "Voices". It was awesome. Like someone else said, season's one and two are out on DVD. I have them. It's good to watch without commercial interuption. |

|
Yup,and the last 5 minutes or so has "Brothers in Arms " by Dire Straits playing. For the time period , there was no better TV show. It was really cutting edge then. |
||
|
Are all those episodes on season I & II ? |
||
|
"El Viejo" was season 3. The others I mentioned were season 2. |

|
The fact that you fuckers know episode names is worse than listening to my customers get all nosalgic about Bren-Tens for an hour or so at a time.
