Torchwood is a spin off of the popular Doctor Who series produced by the British Broadcasting Service. Following the adventures of Captain Jack Harkness (John Barrowman) and his team. Based in Cardiff they are a part of Torchwood, a secret agency set up by Queen Victoria in the Doctor Who Episode "Tooth and Claw". Their primary mission is to monitor a spacial rift in and around Cardiff, fighting supernatural monsters and aliens in order to protect mankind.
The following weapons were used in the television series Torchwood:
Handguns
Enfield No.2
Cptn Jack Harkness (John Barrowman) primary weapon in Torchwood is an Enfield No.2 in .38 S&W, Presumably chosen to fit in with the characters World War II Royal Air Force fashion sense
Beretta 92F/FS
Seen in the hands of one of the perpetrators in the Season 2 episode "Meat".
Glock 17
One of the handguns utilized by the perps in "Meat" is, what appears to be, a Glock 17.
Heckler & Koch USP
Seen wielded by Professor Aaron Copley (Alan Dale) in the Season 2 episode "Reset".
Tokyo Marui HiCapa 4.3
The standard sidearm of the Torchwood agents is an airsoft TM HiCapa 4.3, this was used due to the strict firearms controls in the UK and because of reduced insurance cost during filming. Most agents HiCapas also include an underbarrel accessory, which is actually a storage device for a natural gas canister which feeds gas into the barrel to create a muzzle flash. Interestingly only three agents can be seen firing at one time, this is apparently because only three props were made for such a purpose. Presumably this was done as only three would most likely be needed in the early part of the show.
Rifles
Heckler & Koch G36KV
Utilized mostly by bad guys. It can also be seen used by British soldiers, which is odd since the real Armed Forces use the L85A2 as their main assault rifle, however it is consistent with the parent show.
