The weapons seen in this TV series are:
Inglis HiPower
Used by Lewis Collins and Martin Shaw as their standard weapon for the first two seasons of the show. This particular version of the Hi-Power was manufactured during WWII in Canada.
Walther P-38
Used by a German terrorist in "Close Quarters". Doyle(Martin Shaw) is frequently seen using this pistol in place of the Browning Hi-Power.
Enfield No. 2 Mark 1
Enfield revolvers are among the weapons stolen from a military base in the episode "Old Dog with New Tricks". The character of Billy uses one to take a woman hostage. Later in the episode one of Turkel's men can be seen using an Enfield during the police station takeover. The revolvers are described by Bodie as being "Webley .45's", but a closer look reveals them to be .380 Enfields. This can be determined by looking at the hammer, which has had the cocking spur removed, a feature only found on the Enfield.
Colt Python
Used by the character of "Tinkerbell" in the episode "Blind Run". Can also be seen used by a "terrorist" in the hostage rescue training at the beginning of "Wild Justice". A Python is used in an attempt to kill Cowley in "The Purging of CI5".
Smith & Wesson Model 19
Beginning with the 3rd Season, Bodie carries a .357 Model 19 in place of the Hi-Power.
Smith & Wesson Model 29
The Model 29 .44 Magnum is featured in the episode "Mixed Doubles". Bodie & Doyle each carry a Model 29 while on a special bodyguard assigment. Ironically, the assassins opposing them are also armed with Model 29s.
Smith & Wesson Model 36
Cowley's(Gordon Jackson) standard weapon. Other CI5 agents and sometimes criminals are also seen using this revolver.
Smith & Wesson Model 40 Centennial
A female terrorist uses this revolver during the shoot-out at the end of the episode "Fugitive".
Smith & Wesson Model 10
A Special Branch agent is seen using this revolver in the episode "Fall Girl".
M1911A1
The character of Turkel uses a Colt M1911A1 during the police station takeover in "Old Dog With New Tricks".
Walther PPK
The Walther PPK is seen in several episodes. Kodai carries one throughout "Stopover", Esther takes down a knife-wielding thug with a PPK in "Takeaway", and Michael uses one at the end of "Dead Reckoning". The PPK is featured prominently in "Spy Probe". In this episode, the criminals Ferris and Twig each carry one, the latter using a suppressed version to perform an assassination. When Bodie goes undercover as a hitman he is given a PPK to use on his intended target.
FN Model 1910
One of Turkel's men is seen brandishing an FN M1910 during the police station takeover in "Old Dog With New Tricks".

The P210 appears in the show on a regular basis, usually in the hands of the bad guys. The mercenary leader Krivas uses this pistol briefly in "Where the Jungle Ends". The terrorist group in "Fugitive", and kidnappers in "Acorn Syndrome" use P210s. It also appears in the episode "Blind Run".
Smith & Wesson Model 39
Corrupt CI5 agent Barry Martin is seen using a suppressed S & W Model 39 at the very beginning of the episode "Rogue".
Heckler & Koch P9S
CI5 agent Stuart is seen using this pistol in the episode "Blackout".

Used by the hitman O'Leary in "A Stirring of Dust". For some strange reason, Special Branch agents are armed with Tokarevs in the episode "Fall Girl."
Beretta Model 1934
The M1934 Beretta is used briefly by the German terrorist Inga in "Close Quarters". In "A Stirring of Dust", the M1934 is wielded by Italian hitman Callinari, and in the same episode, by retired spy Sorenson. A suppressed version of this pistol is used by the assassin Rahad in the episode "The Untouchables". A suppressed M1934 can also be seen in "Discovered in a Graveyard", used by Mayli.
Lange Pistole 08 "Artillery Luger"
An Artillery Luger is the weapon referred to in the episode entitled "The Gun".
Mauser C-96 Carbine
Used by a hitman in "Everest was also Conquered". This particular C-96 is equipped with a skeleton stock, telescopic sight, and has what appears to be a 15-inch barrel.
Double Barrel Shotgun
Ithaca 37 Shotgun
The character of Tommy uses a sawed-off Ithaca 37 with pistol grip in the episode "Heroes". It also features a custom wire stock, closely resembling the type used on the MP40 SMG, which folds onto the top of the gun.
Stevens 77 Shotgun(unconfirmed)
A member of the hit team in "Blind Run" is seen using a pump-action shotgun. I haven't positively identified it yet, but it most closely resembles a Stevens Model 77.

This smg appears in various episodes of the series. All the members of the mercenary group in "Where the Jungle Ends" use this weapon. A Greek terrorist uses a Sterling in "Killer with a Long Arm". Bodie uses a Sterling to take down a assassin on the golf course in "Blood Sports".
Uzi
The Uzi is the most common SMG used in the show. Bodie & Doyle can be seen with Uzi's during the hostage rescue sequence at the end of "First Night". CI5 agents are equipped with Uzi's at the beginning of "Dead Reckoning". Bodie & two other CI5 agents use Uzi's at the conclusion of "A Hiding To Nothing". Bodie again has an Uzi during the finale of "Takeaway". Criminals and terrorists in "The Professionals" are also seen with Uzis. At the end of the episode "Heroes", hitmen armed with Uzis attempt to kill a witness. Uzis are seen in the hands of terrorists in the episodes "Blackout" and "No Stone".

Kidnappers in the episode "First Night" use MAC-10 submachine guns. A MAC-10 with suppressor is used by a member of the hit squad in the episode "Blind Run."
MP40
Used by a German terrorist in "Close Quarters". Later it's acquired by Bodie after he kills the terrorist using it.
SA 25
This Czech SMG is used by the German female terrorist in "Close Quarters". Two members of the terrorist group in "No Stone" can be seen using the SA 25.
MAT-49
Kodai's men use MAT-49s when they attack the safehouse in the episode "Stopover". The terrorists in "Blackout" are also seen using them at the end of the episode.
AR-10 as the "A180 assault rifle"
An AR-10 with a Thompson Gun drum magazine and primitive laser sight is seen in the episode Hunter Hunted as an "A180 .22 calibre assault rifle" also making this a famous episode. It is supposed to be a black project assault rifle that gets stolen and used on the previous user. This rifle caused some attention to fans of this show that a .22 round is innacurate for long ranges and the fact it is really a 7.62x51mm AR-10. Not to forget this is the worlds first tv show appearence to feature a laser-lock sight in the movie industry. Can be seen used here!

AR-10
A standard AR-10 appears in the episode "Kickback", in which Bodie uses it as a sniper rifle.
M1 Carbine
A specially modified M1 Carbine used as a sniper weapon is seen several times throughout the series. It can be broken down into 3 pieces--barrel, receiver/forestock, buttstock--is equipped with a scope, and sometimes a suppressor. The character of Nesbitt uses this special carbine in "Private Madness, Public Danger". It also appears in "Runner". The episodes "Blood Sports" & "Hijack" show the carbine with the suppressor attached, in both cases being used by hitmen in assassination attempts. These two episodes also show the carbine fully broken down into its separate parts and then being assembled.

Steyr AUG
Members of an anti-terrorist unit can be seen carrying Steyr AUGs at the end of "No Stone". A variety of publicity photos exist showing Bodie & Doyle holding AUGs, but the fact is that they never once use these weapons during an actual episode of the series.

The folding stock variant of the VZ 58 is used by a terrorist during an assassination attempt at the end of the episode "A Hiding To Nothing".
AMD-65
The Hungarian variant of the AK-47 is seen used by Quinn in "A Man Called Quinn".
STG44
During a prisoner exchange at the beginning of the episode "Dead Reckoning", Bulgarian agents are seen carrying German STG44 assault rifles. When this program aired in the late 1970's, probably none of the AK series of weapons were available in the West for use in TV shows, so most likely the STG44s was being used as a "stand-ins" because of their general resemblance to the AK(STG44's were used by the East German forces and Yugoslav Paratroops after WW2).
FN FAL
The FN FAL is used in two episodes of the series, and both times is shown firing on full automatic. The character of Tommy is armed with a FAL at the end of "Heroes", at one point using it to fire a rifle grenade. Bodie equips himself with the FAL in "Fall Girl".
L1A1 SLR
The British variant of the FN FAL is probably most common rifle used in the show. It can be seen in the hands of British soldiers in "Old Dogs With New Tricks", "Stakeout", & "First Night". Turkel's men use stolen L1A1s when they takeover the police station in "Old Dogs With New Tricks". CI5 agents are seen equipped with L1A1s in "Blackout". Many times the L1A1 is seen with a scope mounted. Cowley uses one in "Need to Know", CI5 snipers use them in "Fugitive" & "Foxhole on the Roof", as well as the character of Mickey Hamilton in the "Madness of Mickey Hamilton".
Enfield XL64ES
These prototype rifles(the forerunners of the SA80) are used by Bodie and Doyle during the hostage rescue scene at the beginning of the episode "Wild Justice".
