The Unit was a military action series that aired on CBS for four seasons from 2006 to 2009. The series followed the lives of the men of a covert US Special Operations unit as well as the lives of the women they leave at home. The series was created by Pulitzer Prize-winning author David Mamet and executive produced by Shawn Ryan (The Shield) and was based on the book "Inside Delta Force", written by Eric Haney, who was an early member of Delta Force and served as senior technical adviser on the show.
The following weapons are seen in the television series The Unit:

In the series premiere "First Responders" (S1E01), Command Sergeant Major Jonas Blane (Dennis Haysbert) carries a custom M1911 handgun of unknown make (it appears, based on the lettering on the slide, that a Colt Government Model may have been used as the base gun, however this is not confirmed). The pistol lacks the front cocking serrations frequently seen on Kimber models (which Jonas carries throughout the rest of the series), but is outfitted with adjustable sights, a combat hammer, a combat trigger, an ambidextrous thumb safety, a beavertail grip safety, a full length guide rod, an extended slide release, Pachmayr grips, and an extended magwell. This weapon is never seen after the pilot episode, which may have been deliberate, as the pistol would likely have been confiscated by base security after the shooting incident at the end of the episode. However, the more likely explanation is that the prop guns were simply unavailable to the filmmakers when shooting subsequent episodes.
The Kimber Custom TLE II is the sidearm of choice for Command Sgt. Major Jonas Blane (Dennis Haysbert) throughout Seasons 1-3 (though he occasionally switches to a Kimber Warrior). Sgt. Hector Williams (Demore Barnes) carries one at the beginning of Season 1 before switching to a P226.
The Kimber Warrior was the sidearm of choice for Jonas Blane throughout Season 4 (and occasionally in earlier seasons), replacing the Custom TLE II.

Colt M1911A1
The M1911A1 is a frequent weapon seen in the series. Master Sgt. Mack Gerhardt (Max Martini) carries one as his sidearm. The Unit's commanding officer, Colonel Tom Ryan (Robert Patrick) uses an M1911A1 in Season 2's "The Water is Wide". An M1911A1 with a suppressor and night vision scope was used by Bob in Season 4's "Dancing Lessons". Another scoped 1911 (likely the same prop weapon) was used by one of the terrorists who tries to kill Jonas when he rescues Molly in "Endgame".
In Season 1's "Unannounced" (S1E10), a Colt Compact M1991A1 is seen in the purse of Kim Brown (Audrey Marie Anderson). When Kim is threatened by a man at the radio station, Rory is seen pulling the Colt on the man.
The SIG-Sauer P225 is used by Sgt. Charles Grey (Michael Irby) with a suppressor in Season 4's "The Last Nazi" (S4E14). SSgt. Sam McBride (Wes Chatham) is seen with a P225 in the opening scene of Season 4's "Hero".
The SIG-Sauer P226 is the sidearm of Sgt. Charles Grey (Michael Irby) and Sgt. Hector Williams (Demore Barnes) throughout the series. Sgt. Bob Brown (Scott Foley) switches to a P226 in Season 2 after using a Glock 17 in season 1. Master Sgt. Mack Gerhardt (Max Martini) uses a P226 throughout Season 1 before switching to his M1911A1. P226s are used by a number of Leon Drake's men (including Drake himself) with and without suppressors throughout Season 4.
The SIG-Sauer P229 is a commonly featured handgun throughout the series. Bob Brown as well as Rock, a gang member turned Army soldier both use the SIG 229 in Season 3's "Binary Explosion" (S3E9). The 229 is unusual since Bob usually packs a P226 and the soldiers are getting guns from US armories (where the SIG is not commonly issued). Grey also uses one with a suppressor and laser sight in Season 3's "Pandemonium, Part II" (S3E2). Army intelligence officer Bridget Sullivan (Nicole Steinwedell) uses a two-tone P229 in the Season 4 premier "Sacrifice" (Mack mentions that she carries a .45, which is incorrect, as the P229 is only chambered in 9mm, .40S&W, and .357 SIG). Bridget's P229 is briefly seen again in "Best Laid Plans". Similar weapons (likely the same prop guns) are used by the female kidnapper in "Dancing Lessons", and the assassin in "The Last Nazi".
The SIG-Sauer P230 was used in Season 1's "True Believers" and also carried by Colonel Ryan in Season 1's "The Wall". A suppressed P230 was used by one of the Russians who ambushes Bob in Season 4's "Endgame".
In Season 1's "Non-Permissive Environment" (S1E5), a Glock 23 is the handgun Jonas Blane's daughter Betsy (Angel M. Wainwright) finds in a drawer at the Blane's home. She later fires it on the range.
The Glock 17 is one of the weapons prominently featured throughout the series. Bob Brown (Scott Foley) used a Glock 17 in Season 1 before he switched over to the P226. Charles Grey (Michael Irby) uses a Glock 17 during the opening scene of "Sacrifice".
The Glock 19 is also used by numerous characters throughout Season 4. President-elect Benjamin Castillo (Benito Martinez) is seen with a Glock when he is confronted by the team in Season 4's "Sacrifice". They are used frequently by terrorists in other episodes, including "Switchblade", "Inquisition", and "Dancing Lessons".
A Glock 26 is briefly seen among other handguns when Sam (Wes Chatham) is choosing his sidearm. He initially selects the G26 but is convinced otherwise by Mack and takes a USP .45 instead.
The Beretta 92FS has been seen in the hands of SWAT members, Unit members, and US military CID agents. In the Season 1's "Dedication", Jonas carries a Beretta holstered on his vest. Sam McBride (Wes Chatham) takes a 92FS from a police officer in Season 4's "Whiplash". In the series premier "First Responders" Jonas uses an ISS Beretta Non Gun to kill Grey's mule.
In Season 1's "True Believers", Mack hides a Beretta 950 Jetfire in his pants that he uses on The Major. In Season 4's "Bad Beat", Bridget Sullivan (Nicole Steinwedell) pulls a stainless Jetfire.
In Season 2's "Freefall", the Princess (Bai Ling) is seen pulling a Walther PPK on Mack and the other Unit members. In Season 3's "Every Step You Take", Bob gives his backup Walther to the embassy employee who fumbles it when trying to fire it. In Season 4's "The Conduit" (S4E4), Mack pulls a suppressed PPK to kill a terrorist he was planning on bringing back to the US.
In the Season 2 finale, "Paradise Lost", Jonas takes out a Walther PPK/S from a rodent station and gives it to his wife Molly (Regina Taylor). The pistol is actually a Brixia 8mm Walther Blank Firing Pistol. As stated by MoviePropMaster2008, "I just checked the lower image against the one I have. Brixia Arms used to make this type of blank gun about 10 years ago, but their quality was pretty bad. There 'might' be some available, but the majority of the 8mm theatrical blank firing PPKs on the market now are made by Kimar or Voltran. What tips it off, is the writing on the slide (it is identical to the markings on my Brixia Nickel plated Walther PPK theatrical blank gun) and the hole drilled in the top of the barrel (where the ejection port is). This hole allows the flash from the blank round to fire upwards since the barrel is blocked, this is an Italian police Brixia 8mm as I have an identical one, Also the magazine is a thin single stack type that only holds those skinny 8mm blank rounds."
A Walther P5 with a stainless steel finish is carried by Bob Brown throughout Season 2 and the beginning of Season 3. One was also used by the African soldier in Season 1's "Stress".
Mack uses a Walther TPH in the Season 1 finale "The Wall" when the terrorists attack the Unit and their wives at Ryan's private reception. In the Season 2 premiere "Change of Station", Mack has to turn over his Walther to the Unit armory as he turns in his transfer papers.
The Heckler & Koch USP is the sidearm of choice for both Bob Brown and Sam McBride (Wes Chatham) in Season 4. It is also seen used by a Unit member in Season 2. Also seen used by the Turk in the Season 2 episode "Games of Chance". Grey can be seen using one (very briefly) in Season 2's "The Kill Zone".
Bob's USP is usually fitted with adjustable sights while Sam has tritium night sights. (This varies with continuity )
In the Season 1 finale "The Wall", Jonas carries a nickel plated High Standard Derringer and uses it on men who attack the Unit at Ryan's private reception. Jonas' Derringer has barrels that tip down and when Jonas places it in his waistband it appears to have a double action trigger.
In Season 4 premiere "Sacrifice", Army intelligence officer Bridget Sullivan (Nicole Steinwedell) carries a chrome plated Cobra Big Bore Derringer as a backup that she has to use when engaging a terrorist disguised as a National Guardsman.
A Norinco Model 54 was used by the rebel leader in Season 1's "200th Hour." Model 54s were also seen used by Chinese officers in Season 4. A Norinco is found in a bag of an escaped convict who used to be a Unit operator in Season 2's "Extreme Rendition".
Bob Brown (Scott Foley) was presented with .22 cal High Standard Sharpshooter M with wooden grips when he and Jonas visit a former Unit member in the Season 1 premiere "First Responders". Also seen (very briefly) used by Ryan in Season 1's "Exposure" (S1E11) in a flashback. Despite being a suppressed weapon, the sound effect used is that of an unsuppressed gunshot.
The team finds a Makarov PM on a deceased Spetznaz member in Season 4's "Chaos Theory", and identified by Bob as "Kirovsky(?) 9mm armor-piercing Standard Spetznaz Issue". In all likelihood, this is meant to stand in for an SR-1 Gyurza, though it is clearly a Makarov, with the grips being the most obvious giveaway. There is a noticeable goof when the team finds the weapon: in the initial shot of the stairway the Makarov is gone, it only appears during the close up shot. Other Makarovs are seen throughout the episode. One was also seen in the hands of an Iranian embassy guard in the Season 1 episode "Security."
A Colt New Service is used by a Brazilian soldier to threaten a mother and her child in Season 1's "Eating the Young." A Colt also is pulled on Jonas' dad in Season 2's "Silver Star". Another is seen when Jonas searches Sam's storage unit in Season 4's "Whiplash".
In Season 1's "200th Hour", Rudy Hartano (Tzi Ma) pulls a Smith & Wesson Model 36 on Jonas when he fears he's been double-crossed. In Season 4's "Sex Trade", a S&W is planted on a male student who tried to blackmail Tiffy.
Seen in the Season 2 finale "Paradise Lost". It was Mack's hidden weapon which was then used by his wife Tiffy (Abby Brammell) to threaten him before he took it back. Also seen in the Season 4 premiere "Sacrifice" as Mack's throw away gun.
Both Alpha and Bravo teams of the Unit are seen using Heckler & Koch MP5A2 submachine guns in Season 1's "200th Hour" (S1E3). Also prominently used by the Unit in Season 1's "True Believers" and the SWAT team in Season 2's "In Loco Parentis" (S2E20).
Heckler & Koch MP5SD3s are seen used by the Unit in several episodes including Season 2's "Dark of the Moon" and "Report By Exception", and the Season 4 premier "Sacrifice". Strangely, in season 4, the sound effects used are those of unsuppressed weapons.
Jonas, Mack and Hector are all seen using Heckler & Koch MP5K submachine guns in the series. Jonas and Mack were seen using the newer Navy trigger group variant, while Hector was seen using one with the old "SEF" trigger. Bob also uses one in Guyana to cover Jonas's escape. In Season 2's "Sub-Conscious", Kim Brown (Audrey Marie Anderson) is also seen using one in a dream sequence.
In Season 3's premiere "Pandemonium, Part 1", an assassin goes after Jonas and CIA operative Mariana Ribera (Tia Texada) with a Heckler & Koch MP7A1. The weapon is also used in season 4 episode 15.
Dragovich (Yasen Peyankov) uses a Cobray M11 in his attack on the Unit during the Col. Ryan's reception dinner in the Season 1 finale "The Wall" (S1E13).
Hector smuggles a Beretta PM12S into a diamond mine in Season 2's "Old Home Week" (S2E6) and is used by both Jonas and Hector. Jonas and Grey uses them in their escape in Season 4's "The Conduit" (S4E4).
Hector also smuggles a Steyr SPP into a diamond mine to be used by Bob in Season 2's "Old Home Week". The SPP is the civilian verison of the TMP modified for full auto.
Seen used by terrorists in Season 3's "Inside Out" (S3E5) and hijackers in Season 4's "Sudden Flight" (S4E2). One was also seen in the hands of an Iranian embassy guard in the Season 1 episode "Security."
A Hotchkiss "Type Universal" is briefly seen in Season 2's "The Broom Cupboard" (S2E12). While the Hotchkiss is a French weapon, it's implied that the US government is supplying the rebels with them.
M4A1 Carbines are used by all members of the Unit, often with a 40mm M203 Grenade Launcher, and with an optical sight (normally the Trijicon ACOG, Aimpoint CompM2 and/or EOTech 552 Holographic sight). Sometimes they switch with HK 416s.

Strangely, the bolt appears to be locked open and the charging handle is not locked in place as it would be normally during firing (in all likelihood, Dennis Haysbert accidentally dislodged it after the weapon was emptied and never locked it back into place). Also note that the lower receiver has no fencing around the magazine release like a real M4 would, making it evident that this weapon is simply an M4 upper placed on an SP1 lower.Error creating thumbnail: File missingJonas "Snake Doctor" Blane with his M4 in Season 4's "Flesh & Blood".Error creating thumbnail: File missingSam "Whiplash" McBride with his M4 in Season 4's "Flesh & Blood".
M16A2 rifles are seen usually in the hands of non Unit members of the military such as regular Army units in Season 2's "Dark of the Moon". In Season 3's "Play 16", Mack was seen cleaning and preparing Hector's M16, including attaching an M9 bayonet (though strangely, an M4 is used at his funeral instead).
In Season 2's "Dark of the Moon", at least one US Army soldier can be seen armed with an M16A4 rifle, identified by the removable carry handle/rear sight assembly.
In Season 2's "Natural Selection", Bob uses an unusual variant of the M16 during his Unit selection training. It appears to be neither an A1 or A2, as it has an upper receiver with A1 sights and the heavier-profile A2 barrel with A2 handguards. Most resembles a Model 715 (Canadian C7), but until a better shot of the right side of the receiver comes along or the episode's armorer himself states, a definite ID is impossible.
One of the rifles that Unit members use is the Heckler & Koch HK416 in the the D10RS sub-variant with a 10 inch barrel. Grey and Jonas both use 416s with ACOG scopes mounted on M4 carrying handles in the Season 2 Finale "Paradise Lost", the others usually have the EOTech 552 Holographic sight attached (in Season 3's "Every Step You Take" (S3E04), Bob's EOTech disappears and reappears a few times). Mac uses one in Season 3's "Inside Out" (S3E05). Colonel Ryan uses one in Season 4's "Into Hell Part 1", though it is very difficult to identify clearly (the DVD extras provide a better view, albeit briefly).
Colt Model 933s were used by Jonas, Mack, Bob, and Grey in the Season 3 episodes "Five Brothers" (S3E7) and "Play 16" (S3E8), but note that in the latter episode they switch to HK416s a couple times in a continuity error, which implies they are intended to stand in for them. They are seen outfitted with EOTech 551 Holographic sights, AN/PEQ-2s, Crane stocks, vertical foregrips, and rail mounted flip-up front sights, but strangely lack a rear sight, although one shows up on Jonas's rifle sometimes in another continuity error.
Grey wields a custom built Mark 18 Mod 0 rifle in the opening scene of Season 4's "Hero". It appears to be the same weapon used by Jack Bauer in Season 7 of 24. Despite being equipped with a red dot sight and magnifier, the reticle shown is that of a normal rifle scope.
Sgt. Grey carries a SIG SG 552 in Season 1's "Stress" (S1E02). Jonas, Bob, and Hector all carry these rifles in the Season 1 finale "The Wall" (Jonas's is briefly seen with a suppressor).
Several FN FAL Variants are seen in the hands of Jonas and Hector in episode 2 of season 1. Jonas uses one with iron sights while Hector's is fitted with a scope. These were the full length FALs and one might of had a wooden stock. It was hard to tell. In season 3, episode 4, there was a couple FALs used by the enemy.
Variants of the AK are featured throughout the series. All members of the Unit is seen using an AK at least once throughout the series. Most enemies have also used the rifle.
Error creating thumbnail: File missingCustom AKMS Assault Rifle with folded stock - 7.62x39mm. The Custom rifle has parts from the Norinco Type 56 and the AKMS. In reality, these rifles don't interchange parts, but it was possible since the gun is massively customized and practically rebuilt from scratch.Error creating thumbnail: File missingBob uses an AKM with customized shortened barrel in Season 2's "Extreme Rendition".
AKM
Seen throughout the series, but featured prominently in Season 2's "Johnny B. Good", where each member of the Unit carries an AKM rifle fitted with suppressor and Surefire light on their mission to Iran.
A Ruger Mini-14 is seen resting on a tree by one of the terrorist lookouts that Bob takes out in Season 1's "First Responders". Also seen used by a man in episode 4 of season 1.
A Heckler & Koch HK91 is used by a boy soldier used by an arms dealer to guard his home in Season 1's "Eating the Young" (S1E9). Some are obviously non-firing replicas, likely done for the safety of the child actors.
The Benelli M3 Super 90 shotgun are the main weapons of Alpha Team members Charles Grey (Michael Irby) and Hector Williams (Demore Barnes) in the Season 1 premiere "First Responders". Also seen in the hands of the US Rangers that accompany them in the assault of the plane.
Jonas shoots skeet with a Stevens 512 Gold Wing O/U Shotgun chambered in 12 gauge owned by the Oil Minister. (It seems that even high-ranking government officials cheap out on shotgun choice.)
FN MAG machine guns mocked up to resemble the M240 are seen in use by French UN forces in the Season 1 finale "The Wall". They are recognizable as the M240G due to lack of heat shield but most likely, these are actually original FN MAGs mocked up to look like the M240G.
A Browning M2 mocked up to resemble the DShK heavy machine gun is frequently used in the series. It's fired by Taliban warriors in Season 1's "Dedication" (S1E7), set up by Syrian forces in Season 4's "Into Hell, Part II" and fired by Mack in Season 4's "Switchblade".
In Season 1's "Dedication", Bob uses an Armalite AR-10 was dressed up as a sniper rifle, most likely as a placeholder for the Knight's Armament SR-25. It is not a SR-25 due to the the fencing around the magazine release, the SR-25 lacking this feature. Bob fires it on full auto while in the chopper, despite the fact that its trigger group clearly lacks an "Auto" option, but this was most likely added in post-production editing because no casings are ejected and the dust cover remains in place.
A Taliban warrior uses a Lee-Enfield No.1 Mk.III to wound a chopper pilot in Season 1's "Dedication" (S1E07).

The SKS rifle was used by terrorists in Season 2's "In Loco Parentis" (S2E20). The rifle was also seen in Season 1's "200th Hour" (S1E3).

You can clearly see the bayonet lug has been removed and is just a squared off block. This was done in the 90s to comply with the US assult weapons ban for import. They were only imported to the US like this i'm not sure if this was a mistake but I doubt someone would have imported it back from the us to Asia.
One of the terrorists who attacks the wedding reception in Season 1's "The Wall" uses a Hi-Point Carbine. Despite being a semi auto weapon in reality, it is depicted firing full auto. Obviously that terrorist had converted that weapon into full auto.
Several Type 69 RPG's are seen being used throughout the series. In Season 1's finale "The Wall" (S1E13), Dragovich's men fire one at oncoming French forces. The example seen here us the Chinese Type 69 launcher (the Chinese version of the SovietRPG-7). The biggest difference is that the Chinese RPG had only one pistol grip. The second hand has to grasp a carry handle on top of the launcher. The Type 69s in the series have PGO-7 scopes mounted on the launcher.
