Ultimate Force - Season 1

Handguns

SIG-Sauer P226

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.

Beretta 92

In "Just A Target" (Episode 1.2) one of the anti-globalization terrorists, Simon (Jamie Sives), uses what appears to be an original Beretta 92, as referenced by the fact that it has a rounded trigger guard and a frame-mounted safety on one side only. 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. It is possible that this is a very early Taurus PT92, as the left side of the pistol grip is never clearly shown to show the butt mounted magazine release of the Beretta 92, however this is unlikely, as in later episodes a very similar pistol is used which displays the correct magazine release position.

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Jack Cullen (Dermot Crowley) later holds Caroline hostage with her own Glock.

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.

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Heckler & Koch MP5A3 9mm
Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Jamie (Jamie Draven) and Alex (Sendhil Ramamurthy) are issued their H&K MP5A3s along with 6 magazines apiece when they first join Red troop in "The Killing House" (Episode 1.1). This is the only time when Red troop MP5s are shown with their original slimline forearms, as opposed to the Surefire fore ends which can be seen separately to the right of the weapon.

Jamie holds fire whilst Alex negligently fires his MP5 in "Breakout" (Episode 1.4). Note the red tape on the bottom of the magazines. It appears that in the show the tape is used to identify the unit, with Blue Troop having blue tape on their magazines,

Heckler & Koch MP5A2

The solid stocked version of the MP5, the MP5A2, is much rarer than its collapsible stocked brother and is only seen in "The Killing of a One-Eyed Bookie" (Episode 1.5) being carried by the RUC.

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Some of the officers guarding the vehicle checkpoint can also be seen with MP5A2s

Heckler & Koch MP5KA1

Caroline (Alex Reid) uses a Heckler & Koch MP5KA1 in "The Killing of a One-Eyed Bookie" (Episode 1.5). It can be recognised as the KA1 version by its lack of front sight post and diopter rear sight. Instead this version is fitted with low profile pistol type sights to prevent snagging when being drawn from confined spaces or beneath clothes. In real life this version of the MP5K has been used by the British SAS. MP5Ks were also commonly used by members of "The Det" (14 Intelligence Company) as a counter ambush weapon in their vehicles, so as a formere member Caroline would be very familiar with their use.

Caroline firing her MP5KA1 gangster style. However, in this case it is justified as she is blind firing from behind cover and this is the only position she could fire in.

Assault Rifles

L85A1

Regular British forces throughout the show are seen wielding L85A1 service rifles. They are never operationally carried by Red Troop, like their real life SAS counterparts, however they are used for ceremonial purposes. Since Ultimate Force was filmed after 2000 the use of L85A1s is anachronistic, having been replaced by the L85A2 variant by Heckler & Koch.

The Ministry of Defence Police who guard the army base at Hereford carry L85A1s. This was the main weapon used by the MOD police until 2005, when it was phased out in favour of the Heckler & Koch MP7.

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
A number of the terrorists in "Something to Do with Justice" (Episode 1,6) carry Norincos, as recognised by the hooded front sight.

AK-47

One of the IRA members in "The Killing of a One-Eyed Bookie" (Episode 1.5) carries what appears to be an original AK-47. It is possible that this weapon in deactivated, or a non firing replica, as for shooting scenes it changes to a Zastava M70B1.

Error creating thumbnail: File missing

Zastava M70B1

The majority of the fixed stock Kalashnikov variants in the show are Zastava M70B1s.

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Zastava M70B1 - 7.62x39mm

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Henno (Ross Kemp) prominently uses a Zastava whilst extolling the virtues of the AK-47 to a group of soldiers he is training. This can be identified as a Zastava rather than another AK variant by it folding grenade sight and the three rather than two ports in the handguard.

Heckler & Koch HK33A3

Heckler & Koch HK33A3s,are used by several members of Red Troop in "The Killing of a One-Eyed Bookie" (Episode 1.5), where they are used as sniper rifles. At the end of the episode Pete (Tony Curran) again uses an HK33, but without the telescopic sight, whilst covering the outside of the building during the assault on the IRA safe-house.

Heckler & Koch HK53

In "The Killing of a One-Eyed Bookie" (Episode 1.5) several members of Red Troop can briefly be seen with HK53s when they rescue Jamie at the end of the episode. In real life these weapons were frequently used by both the SAS and "The Det" (14 Intelligence Company) in Northern Ireland due to their combination of concealability and firepower. These are possibly early versions of the HK53 or mock ups, as the weapons shown in the episode use slimline fore grips and SEF lower receivers, as well as different flash hiders to the regular HK53.

Colt Model 733

Jamie (Jamie Draven) can briefly be seen using a Colt Model 733 in "Something to Do with Justice" (Episode 1.6) whilst covering the team's extraction towards the end of the episode. This particular M733 is built using an A2 style upper.

Colt CAR-15

CAR-15s are a common weapon used by Red troop, and can be seen used by multiple characters in "Something to Do with Justice" (Episode 1.6). These CAR-15s are most likely either mock-ups or commercial copies, as the flash hiders are too long for E1 rifles, but lack the grenade ring found on later E2 rifles.

Jem (Elliot Cowan) can be seen using a CAR-15 at the end of the episode.

Colt AR-15 Sporter-1

Colt AR-15 Sporter-1s are seen frequently on the show in the hands of Red troop as a stand in for M16s. They can be recognised as Sporter-1s by their screw type pivot rather than push pin pivot, which is visible in some shots.

Error creating thumbnail: File missing

M16A1 (with M16A2 hand guards)

Red troop make use of M16A1s fitted with A2 type handguards on several occasions for oversees missions where more range is required.

IMI Romat

Henno (Ross Kemp) can be seen inspecting a IMI Romat in the militias armoury in "Something to Do with Justice" (Episode 1.6). It appears to be fitted with the flash hider from an FN LAR.

Valmet M62

A Valmet M62 can be seen in the militia's armoury in "Something to Do with Justice" (Episode 1.6), and is inspected by Pete (Tony Curran). This particular weapon is somewhat unusual, in that it is fitted with the handguard from a Valmet M76, but the milled receiver and lack of external rivets confirms it to actually be an M62. Furthermore, it does not have the standard iron sights of either an M62 or M76, as instead of the sights being located at the rear of the dust cover they are nearer the front and appear to be of a simpler design.

Sniper Rifles

Accuracy International Arctic Warfare

Whenever Red Troop requires sniper support, the snipers are typically armed with Accuracy International Arctic Warfare rifles in 7.62x51mm NATO, with the majority of the main characters using one at one point or another. This rifle was used by the British army, under the designation of L118A1.

Shotguns

Remington 870 Police Folder

The Remington 870 Police Folder with extended magazine tube is the standard shotgun used by the SAS throughout the series, and can be seen on several occasions during counter terrorist deployments. However, it is never used as a weapon but is instead used for the sole purpose of breaching doors.

Heavy Weapons

Cobray CM203

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.
