The following weapons are seen in 'Midsomer Murders:
Revolvers
Webley .38 Mk IV
Webley .38 Mk IV is a weapon of several murders in Ring Out Your Dead. The bullet from this revolver was identified as "Enfield .38", but the shape of the front sight allows to identify the gun as Webley. The story tells that there were two such revolvers but supposedly only one prop is used in the movie.

The police expert correctly identyfied it as "a .455 service revolver produced about 1916".
