Strike Back: Project Dawn is the sequel to Chris Ryan's Strike Back, starring Phillip Winchester and Sullivan Stapleton as two special forces soldiers who must team up to thwart the plans of a Pakistani terrorist named Latif. The ten-episode series currently airs on Sky1 in the United Kingdom and Cinemax in the United States.
The following weapons are featured in Strike Back: Project Dawn:
The Beretta 92FS (or possibly its South African clone, the Vektor Z88) are used by Abasi Sawalha (David Dennis) and Shabbir (Zee Sulleyman) when they launch a terrorist attack on a New Delhi Hotel in episodes 1 & 2. Sergeant Michael Stonebridge (Phillip Winchester) uses a captured Beretta 92FS for much of episode 2. In Eposide 6, Stonebridges Vektor SP1 he was using in the previous episode turns into a Beretta due to a continuity error.
Cunningham's accomplice Neve (Orla O'Rourke) uses a Vektor CP1 in episode 4. Later in the episode, Section 20 commander Colonel Eleanor Grant (Amanda Mealing) uses a suppressed CP1 to excecute Connelly in Mozambique.
One of the suspects that Stonebridge chases in episode 3 fires a Vektor SP1. A armored truck guard (Richard Lunkuku) also uses a Vektor SP1 in the same episode. Irish terrorist David Connolly (Liam Cunningham) uses a two-tone Vektor SP1 with a compensator as his sidearm. An assassin employed by arms dealer Crawford (Iain Glen) uses one with suppressor in episode 5 when he tries to kill Stonebridge and Major Oliver Sinclair (Rhashan Stone). Stonebridge takes the pistol and uses it during a three-way gun battle later in the episode when he attempts to rescue Crawford's daughter Claire (Laura Haddock).
Heckler & Koch MP5A3s with RIS and a variety attachments are used by Stonebridge, Marshall and other Section 20 commandos. Indian National Security Guard (NSG) commandos also use MP5A3s while storming the hotel in episode 2.
Teague (Brian Milligan) uses a compact pump action shotgun during the armored truck heist in episode 3. The shotgun appears to be the same one used during the the first series.
The terrorists standing behind a captured John Porter (Richard Armitage) in episode 1 hold AKM rifles. Several Indian soldiers are also seen with AKMs in New Delhi, as are Sudanese soldiers in episode 6.
Most of the Pakistani terrorists who attack the New Delhi hotel use the AKMS. Stonebridge and Scott also use captured AKMS rifles at various points in the series.
A number of Pakistani terrorists use the Vektor R5 rifle modified to resemble the AKMS in episodes 1 and 2. Scott and Stonebridge also use the weapons at various points in the series. Janjaweed militiamen in episodes 5 and 6 also use many modified R5s.
In episode 5, Scott captures a customized Vektor R5 with a UTG quad rail mount, ERGO rail covers, an Aimpoint sight and a 3x Aimpoint magnifier. He uses the rifle for most of the gun battle with the Janjaweed militia and Crawford's mercenaries before giving it to Stonebridge, who uses it throughout episode 6. Two of the mercenaries also utilize modified R5s with bipods, scopes and other accessories in the same battle.
At the beginning of episode 5, Scott uses a Vektor R6 rifle to track Crawford as he makes an arms deal in Nairobi. Janjaweed leader Tahir (Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje) uses a Vektor R6 with a AK-74-style muzzle brake while holding Dr. Claire Somersby hostage in episodes 5 & 6.
NSG sniper teams in New Delhi use FN FAL rifles to attack the terrorists in episode 2. One of Crawford's mercenaries later uses a FN FAL "G Series" in episode 5. Crawford uses an ELCAN-equipped FAL in episode 6 while surveying a Janjaweed encampment.
Neve uses a customized Norncio Type 84S during the armored truck heist in episode 3. The rifle is modified with an AK-74-style muzzle brake, picatinny rails and a reflex sight. Damien Scott is seen with one in promotional material. Colonel Grant uses a Type 84S with an EOTech sight in episode 6 when she rescues Stonebridge and Claire.
