I think they are all modified M1 carbines.

From the size of the snubnose revolvers in those screencaps I would say it's more likely they are using [[Smith & Wesson Model 10]] snubbies. --[[User:Jcordell|Jcordell]] ([[User talk:Jcordell|talk]]) 21:30, 7 November 2012 (EST) It's true.

I think that [[Dempsey_and_Makepeace#French_Unique_Model_10|this pistol]] is a [[Colt Model 1908 Vest Pocket]] rather than Unique. It has more smooth and rounded shape than Unique pistol.

== Colt Python/Diamondback ==
The Snubnose Colt Python looks more like the Diamondback (bottom) to me because of the trigger guard. Also, in films ( not really TV though ) the Diamondback is often used as a police piece. -[[User:SeptemberJack|SeptemberJack]] ([[User talk:SeptemberJack|talk]]) 18:56, 24 May 2017 (EDT)

At least one of the "sniper rifles" looks like a M-1 carbine variant fitted out with a scope and a venilated barrel shroud of some sort. The unidentified shotgun looks like a cutdown Winchester 1897. And the unidentified LMG is obviously an L7. --Charon68 (talk) 21:14, 7 November 2012 (EST) Thx very much!--Pandolfini (talk) 05:27, 8 November 2012 (EST) Detailed images to better determines the type of rifle.--Pandolfini (talk) 19:05, 8 November 2012 (EST)

Smith & Wesson Model 36
From the size of the snubnose revolvers in those screencaps I would say it's more likely they are using Smith & Wesson Model 10 snubbies. --Jcordell (talk) 21:30, 7 November 2012 (EST) It's true.

Okay. I'd say from looking at it they're using a K frame S&W revolver rather than the much smaller S&W J frame revolver.--Jcordell (talk) 23:16, 7 November 2012 (EST)
You are right about the P210, but for the revolver it looks like there is a lug at the end of the ejector rod and looks to have a S&W style cylinder release so I'm more inclined to think it is a Smith & Wesson Model 15: Error creating thumbnail: File missingSmith & Wesson Model 15 - .38 Special --commando552 (talk) 08:51, 8 November 2012 (EST) Yes, Commando552 have a right.--Pandolfini (talk) 11:16, 8 November 2012 (EST)

Thank you...
Thanks a bunch for adding this page to IMFDB! The series is a fond childhood memory of mine, not in the least because of Glynis Barber. There's someting about women with guns :-) I took the liberty to clean up the English a bit, I must say that I am not a native speaker myself but some sentences looked really strange. About the unidentified pocket pistol, my first thought was a Colt Mustang but seeing that this model was not produced until 1986 (one year after the 1st series) I might be wrong. Can you please also remember to make references to the relevant gun pages on this page? I don't have time to do that myself, sorry, --PeeWee055 (talk) 08:55, 8 November 2012 (EST) Thank you very much! I still need your service, because I need commented on many other chapters and my helper is only "Google Translator". These links to weapons gradually do.--Pandolfini (talk) 10:25, 8 November 2012 (EST)
Uzi and other things
The first screenshot you have in the Uzi section is actually a Mini-Uzi. I have the DVD, and I remember seeing the wire, side folding stock in that scene. In your screenshot, notice that the stock is being used as forward grip. I believe the Mini-Uzi also makes a few brief appearances in other episodes. Nick Brimble is seen using an Ithaca shotgun with custom wire folding stock in The Bogeyman, which is most likely the exact same shotgun used in The Professionals. I also recall seeing a Mini-14 in Bird of Prey--Phillb36 (talk) 11:52, 8 November 2012 (EST) Thx for Ithaca 37!--Pandolfini (talk) 16:14, 8 November 2012 (EST)
Grenade ID
Do you have any more pics of what is currently listed as an M26 hand grenade. From the shape of the spoon (lever on the side) I think it might be a Schermuly Training Grenade. This ID also makes sense for a British TV show in the 80s.
