Survivors
Survivors is a six part drama shown on BBC One and on the BBC iPlayer service. It follows the survivors of a flu-like virus which kills approximately 99.9% of the world's population. (Think 28 Days Later but without zombies.) Despite the action following the small pocket of survivors living in Britain, a country with possibly the strictest policies regarding gun control, the survivors come across a remarkably high amount of high powered, more-than-likely illegal weaponry. (Seriously, you now need a license to own a BB gun limited to 328 fps.)
Handguns
Browning Hi-Power
The first gun seen in the series is seen in the hands of an escaped criminal, Tom Price (Max Beesley), who loads the thirteen rounds into the magazine and fires the gun at a near-by tree. The gun was previously encased in a waterproof bin-liner and submerged in a rainwater collection barrel.
Beretta 92FS
In a later episode, the main protagonist ends up in a sustainable community, headed by the lone surviving member of the British political system, Samantha Willis (Played by Nikki Amuka-Bird). When they capture two 'raiders', they decide to to exercise some justice, by (in a very 'British' manner) shooting one of them squarely in the head. What's more, the shooter (Samantha Willis, seen below) is almost knocked down by the recoil of the gun. Coupled with that, 1) It's safe to say he's never fired a gun before. 2) She is portrayed as being very weak, especially when holding a gun. 3) Where the hell did she get the gun from (British police officers are not regularly armed with any firearm). 4) She's remarkably accurate. It's safe to say that the program focuses more on the plot than on realism.
