Ashes to Ashes
The following weapons were used in the television series Ashes to Ashes:
- Note screencaps are hard to find.
Colt Python
Meropolitan Police DCI Gene Hunt's (Philip Glenister) sidearm appears to be a Colt Python in .357 Magnum.
Browning High Power
Several characters on the show use Browning Hi-Power pistols in 9mm including DI Alex Drake (Keeley Hawes), WPC Shaz Granger (Montserrat Lombard), and DC Chris Skelton (Marshall Lancaster).
Steyr MPi81
Gene Hunt uses a Steyr MPi81 in the first episode when rescuing Shaz Granger from Arthur Layton.
M1911A1
Several M1911A1s appear used by both the police and criminals. DI Ray Carling (Dean Andrews) is seen using one in Series 3 Episode 5. One appears in Series 1 Episode 5 sold by Simon Neary. A nickel plated version is seen used by a Dutch diamond smuggler in Series 3 Episode 8 who uses it to shoot up Gene's Quattro.
FN FAL
An FN FAL is seen in Series 2 Episode 1, used by a young PC, Kevin Hales, who killed his friend.
Sawed-off Shotgun
Several sawed-off shotguns appear in the show. Chas Cale uses one in Series 1 Episode 6 in a post office robbery. Another one is used in a bullion robbery in Series 2 Episode 8 used by both the robbers and the cops. One is seen used by an undercover Special Branch agent in Series 3 Episode 4. In Series 3 Episode 8, DI Ray Carling confiscates one from an incarcerated criminal, later using it in the final shootout. Somehow he is able to dumb around 5 shots out of it without reloading!
Heckler and Koch MP5 A3
Heckler and Koch MP5 A3s are seen used by SAS troopers in Series 3 Episode 6 during the raid on the prison. This is notably historically accurate, as the SAS adopted the weapon in the Late 1970s and were used notably in the real SAS mission "Operation Nimrod" or the May 5th 1980 raid on the Iranian embassy.
