The following weapons were featured in Season 1 of Chris Ryan's Strike Back:


Handguns

SIG-Sauer P226

A SIG-Sauer P226 is used by Porter while he is in Iraq in Episode 2. Later, Hugh Collinson (Andrew Lincoln) uses a P226 in Episode 6, giving it to Porter while the two are fighting off a militant attack on the Afghan-Pakistani border.

Vektor Z88

Due to the series' production in South Africa, the Vektor Z88, the South African copy of the Beretta 92FS, appears to be the handgun used throughout in lieu of the Beretta, notably by various Zimbabwean security personnel, including Colonel Tshuma (David Harewood).

Submachine Guns

Heckler & Koch MP5KN

Porter is armed with what appears to be a Heckler & Koch MP5KN submachine gun with a red dot sight and suppressor in Episode 2. It should be noted that this was an airsoft replica, as is later revealed when he shows that the magazine is empty at the shootout in the desert, just before his extraction.

Collinson uses a Heckler & Koch G3KA4 during the prologue in Episode 1 (S1E01). The rifle is equipped with a red dot sight and a tactical weaponlight. The weapon is erroneously referred to as a "Heckler & Koch UMP" in Episode 6, despite the G3 differing in both appearance and caliber from the UMP.

Vektor R5 (Modified to resemble AK-47/AKM)

Another weapon commonly seen in the hands of enemies are Vektor R5 rifles modified to resemble the AK-47, as distinguished by their angled receivers and Galil-style 5.56mm magazines. These rifles are likely the same as the ones seen in District 9 since armorer Olly Steele worked on both projects.
