The following weapons were used in the second season of the television series Ultimate Force:
The SIG-Sauer P226 is the preferred sidearm of Red Troop and is used throughout the series. It is frequently seen holstered whenever the team are wearing their counter terrorist gear, but is normally only used for undercover work.
In "Dead is Forever" (Episode 2.6) one of the rebels, uses what appears to be an original Beretta 92 during a mock execution and a ransom video. Oddly this particular pistol is fitted with a slide which is thinner at the front than the back and different grip plates, features which do not appear on the majority of Beretta 92s.
Beretta 92, the first Beretta model produced, noted by rounded trigger guard, butt located magazine release, and frame mounted safety (pre-decocking safety) - 9mm.Error creating thumbnail: File missingThe lack of safety on the right side of the frame indicates that this is an original Beretta 92. Also visible in this shot is the "step" on the side of the slide where it narrows just past the chamber.Error creating thumbnail: File missingDuring the ransom video it is just possible to see frame mounted safety, as well as the butt mounted magazine release confirming this is a Beretta 92, as opposed to a very early Taurus PT92.
CZ 75B
One of the rebels in "Dead is Forever" uses a CZ 75B during a mock execution. The weapon misfires, prompting the user to say "Damn these cheep Czechoslovakian weapons."
Jamie (Jamie Draven) can be seen using SIG-Sauer P225 as his sidearm in several episodes, even though this pistol is a dated design with a smaller magazine capacity than the P226s and P228s which Red Troop usually uses on the show. The use of this pistol in "Communication" (Episode 2.1) is rife with continuity errors. Firstly, Jamie can be seen holding the pistol below decks on the boat when earlier he was using a larger P226 whilst climbing aboard. Secondly, Henno (Ross Kemp) draws a P225 from his holster and clears it at the end of the episode, despite the fact that he was previously using the similar, but more modern, P228.
Heckler & Koch USP pistols are seen in some episodes, usually in the hands of bad guys. The French SF unit all carry them in Episode 2.1, "Communication".
First seen in episode 2.5. Also seen in season 3, episode 3 "Class of 1980". The second one seen in Season 4, episode 1, "Changing of the Guard". Might be the same one.
The standard-issue weapons for the SAS unit Red Troop in the TV show are Heckler & Koch MP5A3 submachine guns, which are always seen with Surefire fore ends and tactical flashlights as well as the SEF-style lower receiver. These weapons are typically used in Red Troop's domestic hostage rescue missions.
The other SAS unit, Blue Troop, also use identical weapons, as do many Metropolitan Police SO19 (now CO19) officers throughout the show.
Heckler & Koch MP5KA1 machine pistols appear in some episodes, such as Episode 1.5, "The Killing of a One-Eyed Bookie", where Captain Caroline Walsh (Alex Reid) uses one to fire back at IRA terrorists during the ambush. The MP5KA1 is a version of the original MP5K designed for concealed carry (it lacks the H&K diopter sights in order to avoid getting snagged on clothing when being drawn quickly from beneath a jacket).
Red Troop also makes use of the suppressed Heckler & Koch MP5SD3 on some missions where maintaining a low profile is preferable in order to avoid alerting terrorists to their presence. These weapons are featured most prominently in Episode 2.5, "What in the Name of God" when Red Troop invades the stronghold of a Christian cult terrorist group to capture their leader.
Another weapon which appears regularly in the series is the Heckler & Koch HK33, and more specifically, the HK33A3 retractable-stock variant. Red Troop typically uses these weapons with claw mounts and scopes as semi-automatic sniper rifles (i.e. Episode 1.5, "The Killing of a One-Eyed Bookie" and 3.4, "Weapon of Choice"). They also appear in the hands of French special forces in Episode 2.1, "Communication".
Red Troop's M16s and CAR-15s are often fitted with what appear to be M203 grenade launchers. However, a close inspection of the receivers reveals that they are actually the look-a-like Cobray CM203 37mm launchers which are often used to substitute for the M203 in many films and TV shows.
