The following weapons were used in the third 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 "Class of 1980" (Episode 3.3) one of the terrorists (San Shella), uses what appears to be an original Beretta 92 for most of the episode. 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) - 9x19mm.Error creating thumbnail: File missingThe terrorist aiming his Beretta 92, showing the lack of slide mounted safety.Error creating thumbnail: File missingThe terrorist clasps the Beretta to his chest while explaining Jihad to the hostages.Error creating thumbnail: File missingThe same Beretta can be seen at the end of the episode being used by the terrorist guarding the MI5 agent.
"Pre-B" CZ 75
Several of the Chechens in ([[Weapon of choice" carry "Pre-B" CZ 75s.
Several of the terrorists in "Deadlier than the Male" (Episode 3.1) carry Umarex GPDA blank firing pistols that stand in for Browning BDAs. They can be recognised as GPDAs by their slide markings, which are visible in some shots, and the shape of the safety catch.
In Episode 3.2, "Never Go Back", the leader of the Zimbabwean "Fire Brigade" carries a Bruni Automatic 8mm CAL pistol (which is a theatrical blank firing only replica gun). The character may carry a real M1911 in other shots, but in this particular shot, he is aiming it at a child actor, so the blocked barreled replica M1911 is used.

Note that the pistol is a Single Action, so the hammer must be cocked back to fire. The pistol in this screenshot has the hammer down.Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Submachine Guns
Heckler & Koch MP5A3
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.
In Episode 3.2, "Never Go Back", Becca takes a Calico M960A from the stash of weapons and looks it over, though she winds up using a Steyr AUG on the mission.
In "Class of 1980", a number of characters can be seen using what appears to be a Heckler & Koch MP5SFA3, the semi automatic only version of the MP5 used by, among others, the British police.
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".
Lt. Dotsy Doheny (Jamie Bamber) used a Colt Model R6420 with a solid stock, 16 inch Barrel and M16A1 Flash Eliminator in Episode 1.6, "Something to Do with Justice".
Cpl. Jamie Dow (Jamie Draven) can briefly be seen using a Colt Model 733 in Episode 1.6, "Something to Do with Justice" whilst covering the team's extraction towards the end of the episode. This particular M733 is built using an A2 style upper.
Seen in the first episode of the series, "Killing House", one of the bank robbers had this weapon.
In the Episode Natural Selection, the rogue paratrooper that tried to prevent Candidates from finishing SAS Selection used this to fight and injure other Paratroops.
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.
