Weapons and Gadgetry
One of the notable weapons McCall uses is a ballistic knife that is capable of launching its blade. This is especially useful when he must surrender his gun to help a client or when his gun is lost in a fight. Other weapons range from pistols to machine guns. McCall's personal weapons cabinet is hidden behind the tool board on a false wall of his apartment's workshop / photography studio. He may be able to obtain more weapons through a variety of sources (pawn shops, gun shops, the Agency, or various contacts).
McCall's main weapon was a stainless steel Walther PPK/S with rubberized Pachmayr grips in .380 ACP caliber, an overt link to the spy genre and Ian Fleming's James Bond. In some episodes, McCall used also a Desert Eagle pistol, as well as the venerable Colt M1911A1 pistol in .45 ACP. McCall was also seen using M1 Carbine and UZI-type weapons, such as the regular SMG and the pistol version. In three episodes, McCall was seen using an expensive Mauser 660 bolt action rifle with a telescopic sight, for more accurate work.

Famous quotes containing the words weapons and/or gadgetry:
“When it comes to my own turn to lay my weapons down, I shall do so with thankfulness and fatigue, and whatever be my destiny afterward, I shall be glad to lie down with my fathers in honour. It is human at least, if not divine.”
—Robert Louis Stevenson (1850–1894)
“The quality of American life is an insult to the possibilities of human growth ... the pollution of American space, with gadgetry and cars and TV and box architecture, brutalizes the senses, making gray neurotics of most of us, and perverse spiritual athletes and strident self-transcenders of the best of us.”
—Susan Sontag (b. 1933)
