Browning Hi-Power
A Browning Hi-Power can be seen being carried by one of the hijackers in "Divided Loyalties" (Season 6, Episode 2). From the look of the grips it appears to be a Mark III.
Submachine Guns

Sterling SMG
In "Baptism of Fire" (Season 5, Episode 14) a Sterling SMG can be seen being fired by a Makindi militiaman.
Shotguns
Double Barreled Shotgun
A number of double barreled shotguns can be seen in "Battlefields" (Season 1, Episode 5) at a clay pigeon shooting ground, and another double barreled shotgun features prominently in "Bushed" (Season 5, Episode 4) being used by a farmer in Australia, who mistakenly fires it at a group of soldiers believing them to be intruders.
Sawed Off Shotgun
A sawed off shotgun can be seen being used by the hostage taker in "Sweet Revenge" (Season 5, Episode 7).
Unidentified Pump Action Shotgun
This shotgun can be seen carried by an armed robber before he is disarmed by an off-duty Military Policewoman in "Shifting Sands" (Season 3, Episode 1).
Rifles
L85A1
The L85A1 Is the standard weapon used by the British Forces in this series, and is used throughout the run of the show. Normally they have SUSATs mounted (as the Kings Own Fusiliers is an infantry regiment) and is often seen with mounted blank firing adapter (BFA). The majority of the SUSATs used in the series are the correct British variant, however on some occasions the Swedish variant designed for the Bofors AK 5B is used as identified by the different mounting base.
F88 Austeyr
The F88 Austeyr is the standard issue Assault rifle of the New Zealand and Australian armed forces, and is seen as such in seasons 3 and 5 respectively.
Vektor R4
As the standard weapon of the South African armed forces, the Vektor R4 is seen on a number of occasions during season 5.
FN FAL
An FN FAL can be seen being used by Makindi militiamen in "Baptism of Fire" (Season 5, Episode 14).
L1A1 Self Loading Rifle
The L1A1 (British version of the FN FAL, also known as the SLR) can be seen in the title sequence for Season 1 of the show. These images appear to be stock footage, and hence are likely video clips of real soldiers.
AK-47 Mock-up
Seen several times in the hands of Makindi militiamen, this appears to be a South African Vektor R4 modified to look like an AK-47.
Namibian G3 variant
A short barreled variant of the G3 is seen in the hands of a Makindi militiaman in "Baptism of Fire" (Season 5, Episode 14). This is a Namibian version of the G3 hence the stock and vented handguard, with the barrel cut down all the way to the front sight.
Short Magazine Lee-Enfield (SMLE)
The Lee-Enfield No.1 Mk.III* is seen in "Further Education" (Season 4, Episode 7) during the D-Day commemoration event.
Ottoman Musket
Ottoman Musket can be seen mounted on the wall of the Cafe in "Shifting Sands" (Season 3, Episode 1) along with another unidentified rifle.
AKM
An AKM can be seen being used by a Bosnian sniper in "Flash Point" (Season 6, Episode 6).
Machine Guns
L86A1
The L86A1 LSW is seen multiple times throughout the series. However, it is not seen as regularly as it should be, as when the series was set the LSW was issued at a rate of one per four man fire team.
L7
The UK version of the FN MAG, the L7 is the standard general purpose machine gun of the British armed forces, and is also seen mounted on South African helicopters. Generally in the series it is only vehicle mounted, or used in prepared positions.
M240D
An M240D can be seen in "Bushed" (Season 5, Episode 4) mounted in the window of an Australian Army Blackhawk helicopter.
Browning M1919
The Browning M1919 is seen in use by Australian, South African, Makindi Militia and the Caravian Army (Who attempt to shoot down a Westland Lynx in the episode "Deliver us from Evil"). With the exception of the M1919s that are mounted on Australian M113 APCs which are real military vehicles, it is possible that the M1919s used in the series are prop replicas, as there is no belt inserted into the gun, yet it appears to fire, producing flash and smoke.
Browning M2HB
A Browning M2HB is first seen mounted in an Australian M113 turret, and is later seen with a Drum Magazine mounted on a South African vehicle. Similarly to the M1919 above, it is likely that this is a modified prop gun.
RPD
An RPD can be seen being used by Makindi militia forces in "Twist of Fate" (Season 5, Episode 15).
L94A1 chain gun
The L94A1 chain gun is seen throughout the run of the series, as the coaxial weapon of FV510 Warriors and as the main weapon on FV512 MCRVs.
