Torchwood agents Dr. Owen Harper (Burn Gorman), Ianto Jones (Gareth David-Lloyd), Toshiko Sato (Naoko Mori), Susie Costello (Indira Varma) and later Gwen Cooper (Eve Myles) carry the Tokyo Marui Hi Capa 4.3 (standing in for a real life compact M1911 variant). The airsoft guns were used due to strict firearms controls in the UK and the reduced insurance cost during filming. Various minor characters are also seen with the weapon, including PC Huw (Rhys Op Trefor) in "Countrycide" and Mark Lynch (Alex Hassell) in "Combat".
Unlike most Torchwood personnel, Captain Jack Harkness (John Barrowman) instead uses a Webley Mk IV in .38 as his primary weapon, presumably chosen to fit in with the characters WWII RAF fashion sense. It is later used by Dr. Owen Harper (Burn Gorman) in "End of Days".
In "End of Days", a small group of soldiers who 'fall through time' into present day London are armed with musket rifles, and engage in a brief shootout with police.
In Countrycide, a Remington 870 Shotgun fitted with wooden furniture, an extended magazine tube, rifled sights, and a shell holder is used by Kieran (Calum Callaghan) before he is taken by the cannibalistic villagers. It is later used by Captain Jack Harkness (John Barrowman) in the same epiosde. In a brief continuity error, when it is thrown down after running out of ammunition it changes to an M1 Garand rifle in the next shot.
A hammerless 12 Gauge Double Barrelled Shotgun is used by one of the cannibals named Helen Sherman (Maxine Evans) in Countrycide. In Greeks Bearing Gifts, a man planning to murder his family uses one, but is knocked out by Toshiko Sato (Naoko Mori) before he can use it.
The Heckler & Koch G36C is carried by British Army soldiers in "Day One". Although not accurate (as the British Army in reality carries the L85), it mirrors the continuity of Doctor Who where soldiers are seen carrying the same rifle. In "End of Days", London Metropolitan Police SC019 officers are seen carrying the rifles in a news report.
