Torchwood is a television spinoff of the popular Doctor Who series produced by the BBC. Following the adventures of Captain Jack Harkness (John Barrowman) and his team. Based in Cardiff they are a part of Torchwood, a secret agency set up by Queen Victoria in the Doctor Who Episode "Tooth and Claw". Their primary mission is to monitor a spacial rift in and around Cardiff, fighting supernatural monsters and aliens in order to protect mankind.
The following weapons were used in the television series Torchwood:
The standard sidearm of the Torchwood agents is an airsoft TM Hi-Capa 4.3, this was used due to the strict firearms controls in the UK and because of reduced insurance cost during filming. Most agents HiCapas also include an underbarrel accessory, which is actually a storage device for a natural gas canister which feeds gas into the barrel to create a muzzle flash. Interestingly only three agents can be seen firing at one time, this is apparently because only three props were made for such a purpose. Presumably this was done as only three would most likely be needed in the early part of the show.
In the Miracle Day episode End Of The Road, corrupt CIA agents loyal to Section Chief Friedkin carry Baby Hi-Capa 3.8's as their weapons. These are likely stand ins for genuine sub-compact 1911 pistols.
The personal sidearm of Johnson (Liz May Brice) is an airsoft replica of the Walther P99. In the Miracle Day episode "The Gathering", Jack threatens an operative spying on Gwen's home with what appears to also be a P99.
Gwen is also be seen using a SIG-Sauer P226 during firearms training in Ghost Machine. A two-toned version is used by Gwen in The New World while defending her house during the helicopter attack. A regular P226 is also seen in the hands of a British government operative who aids in the groups capture in The New World. Gwen later uses the same pistol in the Miracle Day finale, The Blood Line.
Seen in the hands of one of the perpetrators in the Season 2 episode Meat. Also used as a stand in for the M9 by various US military personnel throughout the fourth series Miracle Day. In The Categories of Life, Sgt Ralph Coltrane (Fred Koehler) is disarmed of his Beretta by camp administrator Colin Maloney (Marc Vann), who uses it to shoot Dr Vera Juarez. In The Middle Men, Sgt Coltrane uses his Beretta to fatally shoot Maloney. In Miracle Day Episode 10, the Beretta is also seen in the holsters of Argentinian Army soldiers in Buenos Aires.
In Ghost Machine, Gwen Cooper (Eve Myles) can be seen gun training with a Beretta 92FS Inox. Jack Harkness is seen unloading it when Gwen walks in. Another Inox is briefly seen in Gwen and Rhys' gun cabinet in The New World.
An alien Blowfish uses a stainless FN Model 1910 to take a family hostage in the Kiss Kiss, Bang Bang. He is killed by the recently returned Jack Harkness before he can use it.
One of the handguns utilized by the perps in Meat is, what appears to be, a Glock 17. In the episode Immortal Sins, one of Olivia Colasanto's henchmen briefly draws one during the confrontation with Gwen and Jack. The Glock also appears to be the standard issue sidearm for the majority of CIA operatives during Season 4 "Miracle Day".
One of the firearms that Captain John Hart (James Marsters) hands over to Torchwood in Kiss Kiss, Bang Bang, Season 2, is a nickel plated Remington 1866 Derringer with pearl grips.
In the Miracle Day episode "The Middle Men", Zheng Yibao (Eric Steinberg) , an investigator hired by Phicorp uses a Ruger Mk III with an integral supressor to shoot the padlock off a fence at the Shanghai Blessing Site.
Seen wielded by Professor Aaron Copley (Alan Dale) in the Season 2 episode Reset. In The New World CIA Agent Rex Matheson (Mekhi Phifer) receives one when he arrives in the UK and draws while outside Gwen's home. In the episode Immortal Sins, another of Olivia Colasanto's henchmen also draws a USP. It is later seen in the hands of Esther Drummond (Alexa Havins) when the two henchmen surrender their weapons.
A M1911A1 is used by Huw (Rhys op Trefor), a corrupt police officer, when capturing Gwen and Owen in Countrycide. A stainless M1911 is briefly seen in Gwen and Rhy's gun cabinet in The New World
In the final episode of "Miracle Day", CIA Analyst Charlotte Willis (Marina Benedict) pulls what appears to be a two-toned Sphinx AT380 from her handbag and uses it to shoot Rex.
Captain Jack Harkness (John Barrowman) primary weapon in Torchwood is an Webley Mk IV in .38, Presumably chosen to fit in with the characters World War II Royal Air Force fashion sense, however this is unconfirmed. Captain John Hart (James Marsters) briefly uses it in "Kiss Kiss, Bang Bang".
The Torchwood operatives torturing Captain Harkness in Fragments utilize a Smith & Wesson New Model No.3 to find out if the rumours about him being incapable of dying are true.
A pair of H&K MP5K-PDWs are used by Captain John Hart (James Marsters) during the Season 2 finale Exit Wounds. The folding stocks have been removed, however the PDW backplate is still present, as noted by the hinge that the stocks would normally attach to. Also present are the lugged barrels of the PDW variant, onto which the standard H&K flash-hiders have been attached.
The Heckler & Koch G36C is seen in the hands of various individuals, including UNIT soldiers, British Army soldiers in Children of Earth, armed response officers with South Wales Police and enemy assailants in Miracle Day.
The Heckler & Koch G36K is used by British soldiers, which is odd since the real Armed Forces use the L85A2 as their main assault rifle, however it is consistent with the parent show.
L85A2 rifles fitted with SUSAT scopes can be seen in Torchwood Three's armory. They are also seen being used by British Army soldiers at the Cowbridge Overflow Camp throughout Miracle Day.
Soldiers guarding the nuclear stockpile in "Sleeper" are armed with CQB-R / Mk. 18 Mod 0 rifles fitted with EOtech sights, foregrips, and tactical flashlights. The leader alien sleeper agent (Doug Rollins) briefly uses one to kill some of the soldiers.
In the Children of Earth mini series, soldiers under Agent Johnson's command carry M4A1 carbines fitted with EOtech sights, RIS rails, and Surefire flashlights. In "The New World", an assassin in the CIA archives uses one fitted with SIRS handguards, an M68 Aimpoint scope, and a suppressor, which is later commandeered by Captain Jack. Both Jack and Rex use it during the helicopter attack. US National Guard soldiers in Miracle Day also carry M4A1's, seen at the San Pedro Overflow camp in The Categories of Life.
In Countrycide, a Remington 870 Shotgun fitted with wooden furniture, an extended magazine tube, rifled sights, and a shell holder is used by Kieran (Calum Callaghan) before he is taken by the cannibalistic villagers. Jack later uses the it when rescuing his team mates from the cannibals.
A hammerless 12 Gauge Double Barreled Shotgun is used by one of the cannibals named Helen Sherman (Maxine Evans) in Countrycide. In Greeks Bearing Gifts, a man planning to murder his family uses one, but is knocked out by Toshiko Sato (Naoko Mori) before he can use it.
