AMT Hardballer in Terminator Franchise[]

The Terminator[]

"The .45 longslide with laser sighting."
"These are brand new, we just got them in. That's a good gun. You just touch the trigger, the beam comes on, and you put the red dot where you want the bullet to go. You can't miss."

-The Terminator and Rob Garrett

The Terminator

Close-up of the .45 Longslide with laser sighting

The Terminator acquired a number of firearms, including the AMT Hardballer .45 longslide variant equipped with a laser sight, while robbing a pawnshop clerk. The Terminator then used this pistol to kill the wrong Sarah Connor, a second woman with a very similar name and later the real Sarah's roommate Ginger.

The Terminator almost killed Sarah Connor with the weapon before Kyle Reese shot it five times with a shotgun, which sent the assassin flying backwards. The T-800 did not bother to look for the weapon, instead using its Uzi against Kyle, and continued to track down Sarah Connor afterwards. The Terminator

Bedellator portal — The T-888 with a laser sighting .45 Longslide.

A T-888, whose mission was to terminate Martin Bedell, used the .45 Longslide with laser sighting in the year 2007. The T-888 attempted to assassinate Marty Bedell, firing several shots through his front door before kicking it down.

The weapon was subsequently lost as the T-888 chased John Connor in the woods surrounding the Presidio Alto Military Academy. "Goodbye to All That"

Terminator: Resistance[]

Tresistance-infiltrator-game-dlc-amt — The AMT .45 in Terminator: Resistance.

The .45 Longslide can be obtained by the T-800 Infiltrator to use against the Resistance. It is very effective at close range, and scored headshots can be deadly. Jacob Rivers can also obtain and wield a .45 Longslide in the Annihilation Line DLC. However, it is exclusive only in Bakersfield.

Notes[]

T1movie02-800 — The Terminator holding a laser sighted .45 Longslide.

Though the official make and model of the gun is not named in the film, it is an AMT Hardballer .45 Longslide.
In the novelization of the first film, the 45. Longslide with laser sighting is a Colt pistol instead of an AMT Hardballer.

Glau-Gun — Cameron with a .45 Long Slide with Laser Sighting

The Longslide is also featured prominently in Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles Season 2 promotional material, specifically posters and a DVD cover featuring Cameron. It has apparently earned its fame as the "Terminator Gun".
The actual weapon used in the filming of The Terminator was made available to the Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles crew and used by the Bedell Terminator in the episode "Goodbye to All That".
Terminator: Resistance [Annihilation Line] allows Jacob Rivers to wield a Long slide. This is the first time in the Terminator franchise where the weapon is wielded by a human.
The Longslide model used by Arnold Schwarzeneggger during production of The Terminator required a battery and a switch to power the laser sight, and both components were hidden in Schwarzenegger's jacket.
