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 the .45 long slide 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 Terminator flying through the air. The Terminator did not bother to look for the weapon, instead using its Uzi against Kyle, and continued to track down Sarah Connor afterwards. The Terminator

Pawnshop Clerk: These are brand new, we just got 'em in. That's a good gun. 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.
