Combat Hospital was a Canadian-produced medical drama that focused on the multinational medical personnel operating out of the military hospital at the Kandahar Air Field in Afghanistan. Set in 2007, the series aired for one season on Global Television in Canada and ABC in the United States.
The following weapons were used in the television series Combat Hospital:
Pistols
Inglis Hi-Power
The Inglis Hi-Power is the standard sidearm for all Canadian Forces medical personnel, and are often seen in their leg holsters. Hospital commander Colonel Xavier Marks (Elias Koteas) and Major Rebecca Gordon (Michelle Borth) are the notable CF officers who use them in Kandahar.
Col. Marks draws his Inglis Hi-Power in "Welcome to Kandahar". The reduced muzzle diameter of the weapon's blank-firing adaptation is clearly evident in this shot.
Marks takes aim at the snake, and prepares to wreak havoc on his subordinate's hearing as well.
Rebecca fires her Hi-Power after spotting the camel spider in "It's My Party".
The Hi-Power is returned to Gordon near the end of the episode.
Col. Marks uses Dr. Simon Ross's illicit liquor bottles for target practice in "Wrong Place at the Right Time".
Beretta 92FS "Non Gun"
A gunman who attacks the women's clinic in the season finale (episode 1.13) uses a Beretta 92FS Non Gun.
