Revision as of 23:07, 10 June 2010
Strike Back is a 2010 six-episode drama series starring Richard Armitage and Andrew Lincoln and airing on Sky1. Filmed mostly in South Africa, the series is based on Chris Ryan's bestselling novel of the same name.
Glock 19
John Porter (Richard Armitage) is briefly seen handling a Glock 19 pistol in episode 1.
SIG-Sauer P226
A SIG-Sauer P226 is used by Porter while he is in Iraq in episode 2. Later, Hugh Collinson (Andrew Lincoln) uses a P226 in episode 6, giving it to Porter while the two are fighting off a militant attack on the Afghan-Pakistani border.
Tokarev TT-33
Hakim Al-Naseri (Dhaffer L'Abidine) threatens Porter with a Tokarev TT-33 after he is captured by Iraqi insurgents in episode 2. Gerald Baxter (Ewan Bremner) also briefly points a TT-33 at Porter during episode 5.
Beretta 92FS
Beretta 92FS pistols are used by various Zimbabwean security personnel, including Colonel Tshuma (David Harewood).
Glock 17
Porter seizes a Glock 17 pistol from a soldier and uses it while helping Gerald Baxter escape from American custody in episode 5.
Heckler & Koch MP5KN
Porter uses a Heckler & Koch MP5KN submachine gun with a red dot sight and suppressor in episode 2.
M4A1 Carbine
The M4A1 carbine is used by John Porter, United Kingdom Special Forces (UKSF) soldiers, and American forces throughout the series, with a variety of different sights and attachments.
L85A1/A2
Collinson is briefly seen with a L85A1/A2 in the prologue of episode 1, before Porter gives him a Heckler & Koch G3KA4 to use during a hostage rescue mission in Basra.
Heckler & Koch G3KA4
Collinson uses a Heckler & Koch G3KA4 during the prologue in episode 1. The rifle is equipped with a red dot sight and a tactical forearm with a flashlight. The weapon is erroneously referred to as a "Heckler & Koch UMP" in episode 6, despite the G3 differing in both appearance and caliber from the UMP.
Kalashnikov Variants
AKMS
The AKMS is used throughout the series by enemies, including Iraqi insurgents in episodes 1 and 2, Zimbabwean soldiers in episodes 3 and 4, and Afghan militants in episodes 5 and 6. Porter also uses captured AKMS rifles on several occasions while escaping enemy confinement.
Norinco Type 84
Iraqi insurgents in episodes 1 and 2 use Norinco Type 84 rifles in full and side-folding stock configurations.
Vektor R5 (Modified to resemble AK-47/AKM)
Another weapon commonly seen in the hands of enemies are Vektor R5 rifles modified to resemble the AK-47, as distinguished by their receivers and Galil-style 5.56mm magazines. These rifles are likely the same as the ones seen in District 9 since armorer Olly Steele worked on both projects.
FN FAL
A FN-FAL rifle is used by Porter in Zimbabwe for much of episode 4.
Vektor R5
The South African soldiers that rescue Porter in episode 4 are armed with Vektor R5 rifles.
Heckler & Koch G36C
Porter carries a Heckler & Koch G36C with a red dot sight and suppressor during episode 5.
Truvelo Armory Sniper Rifle
A bolt action sniper rifle was used by Felix Masuku in episode 4 during an assassination attempt on Zimbabwean President Robert Mugabe.
the bolt action sniper rifle is South Africa's Truvelo. Not sure which caliber, looks like a 308 or 300wm. could be 338LM as well. never actually watched the film, only saw a snap shot of the gun scene. someone edit this for me please, new to this stuff.
more info can be found here. looks like these people didn't even bother naming their rifles.

FN MAG
Taliban fighters use a FN MAG machine gun while attacking American Marines in episode 5. In episode 6, Porter uses a FN MAG to fend off militants that attack him and Collinson on the Afghan-Pakistani border.
RPG-7
The RPG-7 is seen in the hands of Zimbabwean soldiers in episode 2 and Afghan militants in episode 6.
