Revision as of 18:52, 14 December 2011
The following weapons were used in the second 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.
Jamie (Jamie Draven) can be seen using SIG-Sauer P225 as his sidearm in several episodes, even though this pistol is a dated design with a smaller magazine capacity than the P226s and P228s which Red Troop usually uses on the show. The use of this pistol in "Communication" (Episode 2.1) is rife with continuity errors. Firstly, Jamie can be seen holding the pistol below decks on the boat when earlier he was using a larger P226 whilst climbing aboard. Secondly, Henno (Ross Kemp) draws a P225 from his holster and clears it at the end of the episode, despite the fact that he was previously using the similar, but more modern, P228.
In "Dead is Forever" (Episode 2.6) one of the rebels, uses what appears to be an original Beretta 92 during a mock execution and a ransom video. 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) - 9x19mmError creating thumbnail: File missingThe lack of safety on the right side of the frame indicates that this is an original Beretta 92. Also visible in this shot is the "step" on the side of the slide where it narrows just past the chamber.Error creating thumbnail: File missingDuring the ransom video it is just possible to see frame mounted safety, as well as the butt mounted magazine release confirming this is a Beretta 92, as opposed to a very early Taurus PT92.
Beretta 92FS
In "Dead is Forever" (Episode 2.6) one of the rebels can briefly be seen with a Beretta 92FS. This is not the Beretta 92 seen being used at other points in the episode, as noted by the finger step on the trigger guard.
One of the rebels in "Dead is Forever" uses a CZ 75B during a mock execution. The weapon misfires, prompting the user to say "Damn these cheep Czechoslovakian weapons."
A Walther P99 can briefly be seen in "The List" (Episode 2.4) as the pistol being used by the sleeper assassin Levi (Simon Gregor).
Error creating thumbnail: File missingWalther P99 - 9x19mmError creating thumbnail: File missingThe P99 can be seen laying on the seat, along with his target instructions. From the proprietary accessory rail visible in this shot, along with the fact that this episode was shot in 2003, this pistol is an original pre-2004 model as opposed to the "Quick Action".
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.
Heckler & Koch MP5KA1 submachine guns are used by a number of the French special forces soldiers in "Communication" (Episode 2.1). The MP5KA1 is a version of the original MP5K designed for concealed carry (it lacks the H&K dioptre sights in order to avoid getting snagged on clothing when being drawn quickly from beneath a jacket).
Red Troop also makes use of the suppressed Heckler & Koch MP5SD3 in "What in the Name of God" (Episode 2.5) when Red Troop invades the stronghold of a Christian cult terrorist group to capture their leader.
One of the French special forces soldiers can be briefly seen with an AKS-74U in "Communication" (Episode 2.1).
Error creating thumbnail: File missingAKS-74U - 5.45x39mmError creating thumbnail: File missingOne of the soldiers can be seen picking up the rifle from an armoury when the dead body of one of the soldiers is discovered. It is possible that this weapon was supposed to belong to the terrorists who were previously in control of the ship, as all other weapons used by the French soldiers are "Western".
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. The rifle is particular prevalent in "Dead is Forever" (Episode 2.6) where it is the source of continuity errors where Henno (Ross Kemp) and Jamie (Jamie Draven) switch between using SP1s and M16A2s throughout the episode.
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.

During night scenes, it is fitted with some variety of image intensifier on the carry handle.
Colt M16A1
Some of he cult members in "What in the Name of God" (Episode 2.5) use unmodified M16A1s.
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.
Being the standard machine gun of the British Army, the L7 GPMG is used on multiple occasions by the SAS on the show. It is also occasionally used by terrorists on the show.
Some of the SO19 soldiers that appear at the end of "Communication" (Episode 2.1) carry what appears to be Remington 870 Police Folders with extended magazine tubes.
Error creating thumbnail: File missingRemington 870 Police Folder with extended magazine tube - 12 gaugeError creating thumbnail: File missingThe soldiers on the far right and far left appear to be armed with 870s. Although they are never clearly shown, they are pump action shotguns with full length magazine tubes and top folding stocks, and it would make sense that the armourers from the show would use existing guns from their inventory.
Heavy Weapons
Cobray CM203
Red Troop's M16s and CAR-15s are often fitted with Cobray CM203 37mm flare launchers to stand in for 40mm M203 grenade launchers.
