Sherlock is a 2010 BBC television series based on the classic novel series by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. The series updates the story to a modern day setting, and incorporates modern technology (such as video surveillance and smart phones) into the plot.
Season one aired from July to August 2010 and season two aired in January 2012. Each season consists of three 90 minute episodes.
Warning: Contains Spoilers
The following firearms are used in the television series Sherlock:
Handguns
Airsoft SIG-Sauer P226R Stainless (L106A1 stand-in)
In S1E1 ("A Study in Pink"), Dr. Watson (Martin Freeman) keeps a SIG P226R Stainless in a desk drawer in his apartment. 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. Another P226R Stainless appears in S1E2 in the flat of murder victim Eddie Van Coon (Daniel Percival).
Watson's P226R resurfaces in episode 3 where it is seen in the hands of Sherlock Holmes (Benedict Cumberbatch) who, in a fit of boredom, uses it to shoot holes in a smiley face painted on the wall of his living room. Having learned their mistake of remaining unarmed while pursuing dangerous criminals in S1E2, both Watson and Sherlock begin carrying it while investigating cases. In his first appearance, Jim Moriarty (Andrew Scott) mistakenly refers to it as a "British Army L9A1", which was the Browning Hi-Power version used by the British army.
STI Edge (Cigarette Lighter)
The cabbie in S1E1 ("A Study in Pink") uses a novelty cigarette lighter disguised as an STI Edge.
Bruni/BBM "ME-8 Police" blank firing gun
General Shan (Sarah Lam) uses a Bruni/BBM "ME-8 Police", an 8mm blank-firing gun modeled after the Walther PPK.
Rifles
AK Variant
During Dr. Watson's flashback to his tour in Afghanistan in S1E1, one ANA soldier is seen using a variant of the AK-47.
L85A2
A soldier in Afghanistan is seen firing a L85A2 rifle in S1E1.
Machine Guns
L7A2
Several U.K. soldiers in Afghanistan are seen with L7A2 machine guns in S1E1.
FN Minimi Para / L110A1
At least one soldier in Afghanistan is seen armed with an FN Minimi Para.
Other Weapons
Type 69 RPG
An insurgent is seen using a Type 69 RPG during the flashback at the beginning of S1E1.
