Weapons of The Expanse S2-E3

Cooling down and taking stock from the massive battle of episode 2.

Weapons of The Expanse – S2-E2

So we are back for the next episode of Season 2, and if the first had its fair share of weapons use, this one is practically bursting with firepower. Read on to see all the weapons used, and to learn how the Rocinante, a standard Martian corvette, was able to defeat a hyper-advanced secret stealth attack ship in a one-on-one engagement!

The Weapons of the Goliath

The Martian Goliath Mk III and IV play a major role in both the show and the books. The armor enables the carrier to project heavy direct and indirect firepower against both ground and air targets during both surface, shipboard and space operations. First seen in season 2, episide 1, it is featured repeatedly duringContinueContinue reading “The Weapons of the Goliath”

Weapons of The Expanse – S2-E1

It is time to begin my recap of the second, very expansive season of – well, The Expanse.

Weapons of The Expanse – S1-E10

And I am back for the season 1 finale – Leviathan Wakes (named for the first of the books in the series – all season finales are named for the book they are primarily based on.) In many ways this is episode 9, part deux, and therefore we don’t see a whole lot of newContinueContinue reading “Weapons of The Expanse – S1-E10”

Weapons of The Expanse – S1-E9

Season 1 concludes with two episodes where the various sub-plots are brought together to a (bloody) conclusion. And yes, there is plenty of weapons action as well! This post covers the first of the two, S1-E9, “Critial Mass.” The episode begins with lots of flashbacks, showing us the events Miller has helped us piece togetherContinueContinue reading “Weapons of The Expanse – S1-E9”

UN Pattern Pistol

This type of weapon is the most commonly used sidearm by both UN military personnel, as well as private security and OPA operatives throughout the outer planets. Though often referred to as the Star Helix Pistol, it is in fact used by both UN elements, Star Helix security on Ceres, CPM security on Eros byContinueContinue reading “UN Pattern Pistol”

Weapons of The Expanse – S1-E8

This is kinda the big detective episode – everyone is hunting for clues – who killed the Donnager, who is Lionel Polanski, where is Julie Mao…! But that does not mean it is completely devoid of weapons action. The first instance is another «do as I say» moment with Holden threatening their stowaway spy, whereContinueContinue reading “Weapons of The Expanse – S1-E8”
