| I think that small-caliber pistol is a Bernardelli model 60, can anyone confirm that? -[[User:Deafmatch|Deafmatch]] 17:08, 27 February 2011 (UTC)

| ::Well, I'm stuck could it be some sort of custom safety, because I searched far and wide for an Italian made handgun that looked like the pistol in the series and only the Bernardelli Model 60 en the MOD. USA look remotely like it. Maybe it's some Italian clone? -[[User:Deafmatch|Deafmatch]] 18:42, 28 February 2011 (UTC)
| |
| :::The barrel and slide are also too short for it to be a Model 60. And I'm not sure what you mean by it being an "Italian Clone". An Italian clone of what? Bernardelli is already an Italian company. It might be either a fake gun or a really obscure model. Either way, we'll probably just have to hope that someone recognizes it.--[[User:PistolJunkie|PistolJunkie]] 22:48, 28 February 2011 (UTC)

| == SIG Sauer P226 ==
| |
|
| |
| That's not actually a stainless model, even though it is marked as stainless. To me it looks like a Tokyo Marui SIG Sauer P226 (airsoft pistol), that's how the Marui P226 is marked. --[[User:Cool-breeze|cool-breeze]] 18:58, 6 April 2011 (CDT)

| ::They used a mix of G36Cs and L85s (didn't catch the charging handle to know if A1 or A2), I seem to remember the gate guards had the G36s, wheras the ones on the rooftops had L85s. I think there are a few other new guns as well, such as the MP5s used by the armed police in ep 3. --[[User:Commando552|commando552]] 17:17, 18 January 2012 (CST)
| |
| :::I'm sorry if this is off topic, but I have to ask why do some many British TV shows incorporate the G36 and it's variants as an erroneous go-to gun for British military? HK weapons in general seem to be a lot more present on the British serials then L85s.--[[User:BeloglaviSup|BeloglaviSup]] ([[User talk:BeloglaviSup|talk]]) 14:42, 31 October 2012 (EDT)
| |
| ::::Because relatively cheap airsoft G36Cs are easier to come by. Particularly in a role where the gun is not going to be fired using an airsoft gun or replica is the norm due to the restrictive firearms laws in the UK. In terms of blank firing guns, SA80 weapons are relatively hard to come by owing to the fact that they are pretty much exclusively used by British armed forces meaning that there are not as many blank adapted weapons as for other more common firearms. As to why G36Cs are commonly used in British TV, I don't really know a concrete answer, but there are a few things to bear in mind. Firstly, it looks "cool". Secondly, it is a relatively practical firearm to film with as it is ambidextrous, short barrelled and has a folding stock. Thirdly, it is pretty recognisable to the British public (even if they can't name it) owing to the fact that it is one of the most common weapons carried by British armed police. --[[User:Commando552|commando552]] ([[User talk:Commando552|talk]]) 17:53, 31 October 2012 (EDT)

| == "STI Edge" ==
| |
|
| |
| I would just like to point out the alleged STI Edge is in fact yet another Tokyo Marui Hi-Capa 4.3. The BBC seems to be using these a lot right now. [[User:The Wierd It|The Wierd It]] 17:18, 18 January 2012 (CST)

|
| |
| Is the fact that it turns out to be a cigarette lighter a reference to [[Harry Brown]]? The movie was only one year before the first season of this TV series--the movie also features a gun used to smoke a drug that turns out to be nonfunctional when it's used in earnest, kind of like how the first episode features a nonfunctional gun that's actually used for smoking. --[[User:Mazryonh|Mazryonh]] 23:53, 18 July 2012 (CDT)
