The following weapons were used in the miniseries Rebellion (2016):
The Webley Mk VI revolver is the most used handgun in the series. First seen holstered by General William Lowe (Jack Shepherd) in "Young Guns". In "To Arms" it is used by many British officers including Stephen Duffy Lyons (Paul Reid) and Irish Citizen's Army members including Captain Seán Connolly (Jack Hickey). In "Under Siege" Capt. Bowen-Colthurst (Patrick Buchanan) uses one to shoot at a wounded ICA member and James Connolly (Brian McCardie) is seen carrying a Webley in his holster.
A Smith & Wesson Model M&P revolver is handed over by Countess Constance Markievicz (Camille O'Sullivan) to Elizabeth Butler (Charlie Murphy) in "Young Guns". Later in this episode Detective Coleman (Steve Wall) threatens Jimmy Mahon (Brian Gleeson) with one of it.
Arthur Mahon (Barry Ward) is seen with a Luger P08 that he gives it to his son Peter (Jason Cullen) in "Young Guns". Arthur calls it a "Parabellum Luger" which he took from a Turkish officer. In "To Arms", Peter takes the pistol from its hiding place to join the ICA. He gives it then to Cormac McDevitt (Barry Keoghan).
Frances O'Flaherty (Ruth Bradley) carries a Colt M1911 pistol through the streets of Dublin "To Arms". She uses it again in "Under Siege" to fire at British soldier chasing her.
The Lee-Enfield No.1 Mk.III is the most rifle used by both factions that includes Arthur Mahon (Barry Ward), Cormac McDevitt (Barry Keoghan), Milo, (Eemeli Louhimies), Fusilier McGarry (Ruairí Heading) and Fusilier O'Hanlon (Charlie Kelly). These SMLE are a mix of the early Mk. III and Mk. III*. While surrounded by British soldiers Jimmy (Brian Gleeson) and Frances (Ruth Bradley) fire SMLE in "Under Siege".
The second used rifle used is the German Gewehr 1898 delivered from the German Empire to support the uprising. Elizabeth Butler (Charlie Murphy) is given one in "Young Guns". Jimmy calls it simply a "Mauser" in "Under Siege" to Frances.
