Battlestar Galactica “The Plan” Movie Resin FN 5-7 Pistol

During the Battlestar Galactica movie “The Plan,” a resin version of the venerable FN 5-7 was introduced and replaced the soft rubber stunt versions for Colonial Marine use. Superior detailing and a clean look made the new versions more realistic. These guns show less wear and tear than their rubber counterparts.

Provenance

Taken directly from the set of the NBC/Universal production, Battlestar Galactica, by Propworx staff.

Screen use

Used only in "The Plan"

This FN Five-seveN (Fabrique Nationale d'Herstal 5-7) resin facsimile was made by Matsuo/Matsucorp Props. It was not used in the series proper, as these were commissioned by NBC-Universal via Propworx's principal owner in 2008. They were used exclusively as "holster stuffers" in "The Plan," were they ever used at all.

The major tell versus legitimate series variants is the extended length of the underslung "rocket launcher" on the accessory rail.

Of further note, this is the only listing from Propworx that correctly attributes to "The Plan," as subsequent lots of the Matsuo FN replicas omit this important distinction.
