Strike Back - Season 4 (also known as Strike Back: Shadow Warfare or Strike Back: Cinemax Season 3) once again stars Philip Winchester as Sergeant Michael Stonebridge and Sullivan Stapleton as Sergeant Damien Scott, members of a top secret British intelligence unit known as Section 20. Rhona Mitra reprises her role as Maj. Rachel Dalton, Section 20's commanding officer. Michelle Lukes returns as Section 20's Sergeant Julia Richmond. Lyne Renée returns Mossad agent Rebecca Levi. Dougray Scott will appear as James Leatherby, a rogue operative. Season 4 focuses on Section 20's pursuit of elusive terrorist al-Zuhari and his cartel partners across several global locales including Colombia, Beirut and Europe.
The following weapons are featured in Season 4 of the series Strike Back:
Various criminals can be seen with Glock 17s. Sgt. Michael Stonebridge (Philip Winchester) also carries a Glock 17 as his sidearms from S04E02 onwards. The Glocks used in the show feature 3rd generation railed frames, however in some shots it can be seen that they have a flat 2nd generation extractor (the 3rd generation extractor has a raised portion at the end to serve as a loaded chamber indicator) indicating that there has been mixing and matching of components.
A Remington 870 "Witness Protection" with synthetic furniture is used by Miguel "The Jaguar" Gomez (Raoul Trujillo) in S04E02. In a continuity error the shotgun initially has a short barrel, but then has a longer barrel in a later scene.
One of the Lebanese terrorists in S04E01 can be seen with what appears to be a FEG SA-85M based on its light wood furniture, ported gas block and AKM front sight.
Sgt. Michael Stonebridge (Philip Winchester) carries a customized CSA SA vz. 58 Compact chambered in 5.56x45mm in S04E01. It has been fitted with a magazine well to allow it to feed from standard AR-15 magazine and has a flashlight clamped under the front sight block, a suppressor, and an Aimpoint red dot sight attached via a side mounted MIL-STD-1913 rail.
Sgt. Damien Scott (Sullivan Stapleton) and DEA Special Agent Kim Martinez (Milauna Jackson) both carry rifles resembling M4A1s in S04E01. However, neither of these rifles appear to be actual M4s but rather mock ups, possibly based on fixed carry handle guns that have had the carry handle machined off and a rail bolted on in its place. Scott's rifle is fitted with an Aimpoint red dot sight and railed handguard, whilst Martinez's has a standard handguard and ACOG.

Firstly it has a tear drop shaped forward assist plunger which was replaced with a round one long before the M4 was developed. Secondly it can be seen that the rail is a different colour and made from a separate piece of metal bolted on to the receiver. Also visible at the front of the upper receiver is what appears to be the remains of the contouring where the front of the carry handle used to attach to the gun. Scott's rifle appears to be built on an A1 lowerError creating thumbnail: File missingMartinez with her rifle on the boat. Note the presence of a screw head front pivot pin and lack of a front push pin detent housing or magazine fence indicating that the rifle is built on an SP1 lower.Error creating thumbnail: File missingError creating thumbnail: File missingA side view of Martinez's rifle. Note what appears to be the contouring at the front and back of the upper receiver where a fixed carry handle was possibly previously installed. Also note that her rifle is feeding from a CAA polymer magazine.Error creating thumbnail: File missingMartinez's rifle appears to be fitted with a genuine M4 profile barrel.Error creating thumbnail: File missingNote that the contouring of the barrel which makes it superficially resemble an M4 is fake, appearing to be a short metal sleeve slipped over the barrel ahead of the front sight block.Error creating thumbnail: File missingMartinez using he M4 in S04E03.
Custom Shortened FN FAL
Custom shortened FN FAL carbines can be seen being used by one of Martinez's team, along with several Columbian Cartel guards. They resemble DSA SA58 OSW rifles, however they lack the railed top cover, along with the fact that this American made weapon would be unlikely to appear in a South African filmed production.
Custom shortened Heckler & Koch G3 carbines can be seen being used by one of Martinez's team, along with several Columbian Cartel guards. They appear to have a chopped down version of the vented handguard which is used on South African G3s and appear with either solid or retractable stocks.
One of the men in Martinez's team can be seen with a Namibian G3A3. Although only the handguard and barrel of the weapon is visible in a single shot, it can be distinguished from the custom shortened G3 variants listed above by the fact that the entire handguard is visible which hasn't been altered, as opposed to the above weapon which has a shortened handguard.
Several of The Jaguar's men in S04E02 can be seen with AKM type rifles. All features match those of the AKM with the exception of the gas tube, which is an earlier pattern perforated one. It is possible that these rifle are a foreign copy that used a different configuration of parts, such as the FEG SA-85 Underfolder with the furniture changed.
Miguel "The Jaguar" Gomez (Raoul Trujillo) uses a custom AR-15 rifle in S04E02. It appear to be the same rifle that appeared in Season 3, and features a railed handguard, Magpul PRS stock, ACOG, low profile gas block, triangular handguard ring, and an upper receiver resembling that of an SP1 (no forward assist or brass deflector) but with a sight rail. This upper receiver is either a non Colt spec one made by another manufacturer, or it is a standard SP1 upper that has been modified by machining off the carry handle and bolting a rail on in its place.
A pair of what appear to be AK-47s can be seen in the background of the tape featuring Al Zuhari (Kevork Malikyan) at the end of S04E02. Both of them feature Type III milled receivers, however they vary significantly in their finish an furniture, suggesting that one or both may be replicas or different variants.
The attack boat the ambushes the team at the end of S04E01 has a Vektor SS-77 mounted on the roof. It has space grips fitted in place of the standard buttstock and the mount is fitted with a shield and a brass catcher.
The attack boat the ambushes the team at the end of S04E01 has a Browning M1919A4 mounted on the rear deck. The mount is fitted with a brass catcher under the gun along with a chute to direct the spent belt into the catcher as well.
The rigid-hulled inflatable boats that pursue to team as they make their escape are armed with FN MAG 58 machine guns fitted with 50 round ammunition bags and cloth brass catching chutes.
