In Series 3 Episode 8, DS/DI Ray Carling confiscates one from an incarcerated criminal, later using it in the final shootout. Somehow he is able to dumb around 5 shots out of it without reloading!
Heckler and Koch MP5 A3
Heckler and Koch MP5 A3s are seen used by SAS troopers in Series 3 Episode 6 during the raid on the prison. This is notably historically accurate, as the SAS adopted the weapon in the Late 1970s and were used notably in the real SAS mission "Operation Nimrod" or the May 5th 1980 raid on the Iranian embassay.
