So what is that thing underneath the barrel of the FN...:ques:

If I remember right, it's supposed to be some kind of miniature, single shot rocket launcher.

I think the only time it was used or referenced was during the episode "Valley of Darkness", since there are references to "explosive rounds" in the episode, and Lee is seen loading what looks like a miniature mortar round into the thing under the barrel.

Sci-Fi movies and TV shows are always better when real firearms are used, either as-is or modded up. Star Trek as yet to field a really cool firearm.
Han Solo used the same pistol(Mauser C96 "Broomhandle") as Winston Churchill used in the Boer War. A long time ago in a continent far far away...

FN FiveseveN

From the second season on this is the standard Colonial Military sidearm. It keeps the underbarrel explosive launcher. This changeover allows for real semi-automatic fire and makes use of the existing stores of 5.7 x 28mm blank ammunition...

AFAIK, FNH is still making/importing the FiveseveN series. The original DAO-only model is discontinued and the SA Tactical too. I haven't heard anything that the SA USG (and it's OD and FDE colored sisters) are no longer available anyway.
