Main "ALPHA Team 1st Special Actions Group" cast for the first 3 seasons, including CO, Col. Tom Ryan.

The following weapons were used in Season 3 of the television series The Unit:

Pistols

Kimber Custom TLE II

The Kimber Custom TLE II is the sidearm of choice for Command Sgt. Major Jonas Blane (Dennis Haysbert) throughout Seasons 1-3 (though he occasionally switches to a Kimber Warrior). Sgt. Hector Williams (Demore Barnes) carries one at the beginning of Season 1 before switching to a P226.

Kimber Custom TLE II - .45 ACP. This version has no rails and is the version used in the Television show The Unit.

Jonas Blane (Dennis Haysbert) holds his suppressed Kimber on an assassin in the Season 3 premiere episode, "Pandemonium, Part 1" (S3E01).

Colt M1911A1

The M1911A1 is a frequent weapon seen in the series. Master Sgt. Mack Gerhardt (Max Martini) carries one as his sidearm.

The pistol is held by Col. Tom Ryan in "Pandemonium, Part II" (S3E02).

SIG-Sauer P226

The SIG-Sauer P226 is the sidearm of Sgt. Charles Grey (Michael Irby) and Sgt. Hector Williams (Demore Barnes) throughout the series.

SIG-Sauer P226 9x19mm

In Season 3's premiere "Pandemonium, Part I" (S3E01), Grey puts his SIG to Bob's head as he tries to ascertain Bob's intentions.

In Season 3's "Five Brothers", Sgt. Hector Williams (Demore Barnes) fires Grey's SIG as the Unit attempts to exfil a building.

Grey holds his 226 in a standoff with a fellow soldier (who is holding an M1911A1) in Season 3's "Binary Explosion".

SIG-Sauer P229

The SIG-Sauer P229 is a commonly featured handgun throughout the series. Bob Brown as well as Rock, a gang member turned Army soldier both use the SIG 229 in "Binary Explosion" (S3E09). The 229 is unusual since Bob usually packs a P226 and the soldiers are getting guns from US armories (where the SIG is not commonly issued). Grey also uses one with a suppressor and laser sight in Season 3's "Pandemonium, Part II" (S3E02).

SIG-Sauer P229 - 9x19mm (also chambered for .40 S&W & .357 SIG)

In "Pandemonium, Part II" (S3E02), Grey uses a 229 equipped with a suppressor and laser sight to threaten the head of the conspiracy behind the Unit's shutdown.

In "Binary Explosion" (S3E09), Rock (Jose Pablo Cantillo) fires the P229 at Bob and the CID agents.

Submachine Guns

Battle Rifles/Carbines

Colt M4A1 Carbine

M4A1 Carbines are used by all members of the Unit, often with a 40mm M203 Grenade Launcher, and with an optical sight (normally the Trijicon ACOG, Aimpoint CompM2 and/or EOTech 552 Holographic sight). Sometimes they switch with HK 416s.

Colt M4A1 Carbine - 5.56mm

Jonas fires an regular M4 with no accessories besides rail covers in Season 3's "M.P.'s". Strangely, the bolt appears to be locked open and the charging handle is not locked in place as it would be normally during firing (in all likelihood, Dennis Haysbert accidentally dislodged it after the weapon was emptied and never locked it back into place). Also note that the lower receiver has no fencing around the magazine release like a real M4 would, making it evident that this weapon is simply an M4 upper placed on an SP1 lower.

M16A2

M16A2 rifles are seen usually in the hands of non Unit members of the military such as regular Army units in Season 2's "Dark of the Moon". In Season 3's "Play 16", Mack was seen cleaning and preparing Hector's M16, including attaching an M9 bayonet (though strangely, an M4 is used at his funeral instead).

Colt M16A2 - 5.56x45mm.

In Season 3's "Play 16", Mack readies Hector's M16A2 for the service.

Heckler & Koch HK416

One of the rifles that Unit members use is the Heckler & Koch HK416 in the the D10RS sub-variant with a 10 inch barrel. Sometimes, the rifles have the EOTech 552 Holographic sight attached (in Season 3's "Every Step You Take" (S3E04), Bob's EOTech disappears and reappears a few times). Mac uses one in Season 3's "Inside Out" (S3E05).

Colt Model 933

Colt Model 933s were used by Jonas, Mack, Bob, and Grey in the Season 3 episodes "Five Brothers" (S3E07) and "Play 16" (S3E08), but note that in the latter episode they switch to HK416s a couple times in a continuity error, which implies they are intended to stand in for them. They are seen outfitted with EOTech 551 Holographic sights, AN/PEQ-2s, Crane stocks, vertical foregrips, and rail mounted flip-up front sights, but strangely lack a rear sight, although one shows up on Jonas's rifle sometimes in another continuity error.

In "Five Brothers" (S3E07), Jonas leads the way with his 933.

RPK

An RPK light machine gun was used by a terrorist in Season 3's "Always Kiss Them Goodbye" (S3E3) during the shootout in the aircraft hangar.

RPK light machine gun 7.62x39mm

In Season 3's "Always Kiss Them Goodbye", the terrorist on the right fires the RPK.

When he gets shot, the terrorist manning the RPK makes sure to drop it straight down, landing on the bipod and pistol grip so it doesn't get damaged when it hits the metal roof.

The RPK lays on the roof as Jonas takes out the remaining terrorist.

Blaser R93 LRS2

In Season 3's "Gone Missing" (S3E10), the Unit goes on a mission armed with the Blaser R93 LRS2 Precision Sniper Rifle as their sniper rifles. In the episode, the Blaser used a new type of ammo filled with mercury that was designed specifically not to over penetrate. The rifles were handled by Bob, Grey and Mack with Jonas alternating with Bob a couple times. The sound effect used is that of a suppressed round when clearly none of the rifles were suppressed. Another of these rifles was used by an enemy sniper in Season 4's "Flesh & Blood".

Blaser R93 LRS2 Precision Sniper Rifle with Harris Bipod attached - .308

In Season 3's "Gone Missing", Mack fires the Blaser. The edit appeared to make seem like there was no recoil.

Other Weapons

M67 "Baseball" Grenade

The M67 "Baseball" Grenade is used throughout the series.

M67 hand grenade

In Season 3's "Every Step You Take", the embassy employee throws the M67 grenade, but forgets to pull the pin, which Bob then has to detonate with a gunshot.
