Warning:Contains Spoilers
The following firearms are used in the television series Sherlock:
Dr. Watson (Martin Freeman) has a SIG P226R Stainless that . The prop is actually a gas-powered airsoft replica manufactured by Tokyo Marui. Given Watson's military background, this is likely meant as a stand-in for the SIG-Sauer L106A1, which is the British Army's standard issue sidearm. This same prop also shows up on several occasions in the hands of minor characters.
STI Edge (Cigarette Lighter)
The cabbie in S1E1 uses a novelty cigarette lighter disguised as an STI Edge.
Bruni/BBM "ME-8 Police" blank firing gun
At the end of S1E2, General Shan (Sarah Lam) uses a Bruni/BBM "ME-8 Police", an 8mm blank-firing gun modeled after the Walther PPK.
Glock 17
A number of 2nd generation Glock 17 pistols are seen in season 2.
Two-Tone Glock 17
Detective Inspector Lestrade (Rupert Graves) uses a two-tone Glock 17 at the end of S2E2.
Beretta 92FS Inox
Henry Knight (Russell Tovey) uses a Beretta 92FS Inox in S2E2 when he thinks that the gigantic hound is outside his home. Judging from the color and reflectivity of the finish, this is likely the Tokyo Marui airsoft replica of the 92FS Inox. Moriarty also uses a 92FS Inox during the second season finale.
M1911A1 (Unidentified Variant)
A hitman disguised as a repair man in S2E3 has a suppressed M1911A1 pistol stored in his tool box. Judging from the markings and the screws in the slide, this is likely a blank-firing replica.
Submachine Guns
Heckler & Koch MP5A3
Multiple H&K MP5A3 submachine guns, outfitted with surefire flashlight fore-ends and red dot reflex dot sights are seen throughout the second season finale.
Rifles
AK Variant
During Dr. Watson's flashback to his tour in Afghanistan, an ANA soldier is seen using a variant of the AK-47.
AK-47
One of the terrorist at the end of S2E1 is armed with an AK-47 rifle. As with the P226, this is likely an airsoft gun.
L85A2
A small number of L85A2 rifles are seen throughout the series.
Heckler & Koch G36C
Some of the Military Police Soldiers at the Baskerville Research Facility are armed with Heckler & Koch G36C assault rifles. This is somewhat unrealistic as the British Army has never authorised the G36.
