The following weapons appear in the television series Soldier Soldier:
Handguns
Glock 17
Glock 17s can be seen being carried by armed police during the terrorist incident in "Sweet Revenge" (Season 5, Eisode 7).
Webley Mk IV
A Webley Mk IV can be seen being carried by a Chinese illegal immigrant in "Lifelines" (Season 2, Episode 4).

Sterling SMG
In "Baptism of Fire" (Season 5, Episode 14) a Sterling SMG can be seen being fired by a Makindi militiaman.
Shotguns
Double Barrelled Shotgun
A number of double barrelled shotguns can be seen in "Battlefields" (Season 1, Episode 5) at a clay pigeon shooting ground, and another double barrelled 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 the be intruders.
Sawed Off Shotgun
A sawed off shotgun can be seen being used by the hostage taker in "Sweet Revenge" (Season 5, Eisode 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).
Steyr AUG A1
The Steyr AUG A1 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 Afican 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.
Unknown G3 variant
A short barrelled variant of the G3 is seen in the hands of a Makindi militiaman in "Baptism of Fire" (Season 5, Episode 14). This is possibly the South African version of the G3, 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.
Unknown Musket
A Musket can be seen mounted on the wall of the Cafe in "Shifting Sands" (Season 3, Episode 1) along with another unidentified rifle.
Machine Guns
L86A1
The L86A1, or 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 and Makindi Militia forces. 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 their 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
This weapon is seen throughout the run of the series, as the coaxial weapon of FV510 Warriors and as the main weapon on FV512 MCRVs.
Heavy Weapons
LAW 80
The Light Anti-armour Weapon 80, or more simply LAW 80 is carried on a number of occasions. When used on exercises the launcher is hollow with the word DRILL printed down the side.
Carl Gustav Recoilless Rifle
A single 84mm Carl Gustav recoilless rifle can be seen in the opening credits of Season 1.
RPG-7 Mock-up
The Makindi militia forces in the last two episodes of Season 5 make extensive use of a rocket launchers that appear to be mock ups of RPG-7s.
L16 81mm Mortar
A battery of L16 81mm Mortars can be seen in "Live Fire" (Season 3, Episode 2).
Unidentified Mortar
The Makindi militia are seen using a weapon that is identified as a mortar and used as such in "Baptism of Fire" (Season 5, Episode 14), but could possibly be a recoilless rifle or a complete fabrication.
L21A1 RARDEN 30mm Cannon
The L21A1 RARDEN cannon is seen throughout the series, mounted on both FV510 Warriors and FV107 Scimitars.
L23A1 76mm Gun
An L23A1 76mm gun is briefly seen as the main weapon on an FV101 Scorpion during the opening credits of Season 1.
Royal Ordnance L11A5 120mm Gun
The L11A5 can be seen mounted as the main weapon on FV4030/4 Challenger 1 MBTs throughout the series.
Seen in "Something Old, Something New" (Season 2, Episode 2), the gun in question is the actual "Noonday Gun" which is a former naval gun mounted on a small enclosed site near the Causeway Bay Typhoon Shelter on Hong Kong Island. As the name implies, the gun is fired daily at noon, as well as at midnight on New Years Eve.
Unidentified Artillery
An unidentified artillery cannon can be seen at an Army base in South Africa in "Under the Skin" (Season 5, Episode 13).
Other Weapons
SA80 Bayonet
The standard issue SA80 bayonet can be seen mounted onto the L85A1 rifles on a number of occasions, most prominently during ceremonial duties.
L2A2 HE Grenade
The standard grenade of the British forces at the time, the L2A2 is used on a number of occasions.

The L4A2 can be seen being used by British Soldiers during exercises. This grenade is basically an L2A2 complete with fuse, but without an explosive filler. This creates a mild flash and bang when thrown as the fuse detonates.
PE4 Plastic Explosive
PE4 can be seen in "Leaving" (Season, Episode) where it is used to detonate an unexploded L2A2 grenade. In this instance it appears that it is to be detonated using detcord attached to a slow burning powder fuse, that is lit with a match when the PE4 is correctly placed.
C3 Elsie Mine
A C3 Elsie mine can be seen during an indoor mine clearing exercise in "Battlefields" (Season 1, Episode 5).
Unidentified Mines
A number of unidentified mines can be seen in "Learning" (Season 3, Episode 13) at a Serbian checkpoint.

Trip flare
Trip flares are used to simulate IEDs in "Battlefields" (Season 1, Episode 5).

A pen flare is used in "Live Fire" (Season 3, Episode 2)
Flashbang
A flashbang of unknown variety is used in "A man's Life" (Season 2, Episode 1).
Mark 8 Thunderflash
