SAS Rogue Heroes is a 2022 BBC drama action series, loosely based on the docu-drama book of the same name by Ben MacIntyre. The show centres on the creation of the Special Air Service by David Stirling (Connor Swindells), Lt. Jock Lewes (Alfie Allen), and Paddy Mayne (Jack O'Connell) during the North Africa campaign of the Second World War in 1941-2.
The following weapons were used in the television series SAS Rogue Heroes:
WARNING! THIS PAGE CONTAINS SPOILERS!
Pistols
Beretta M1934
Lt. Paddy Mayne (Jack O'Connell) uses a Beretta M1934 (presumably pilfered from an Italian soldier that he had killed) to shoot holes into a bucket to shower himself.
Walther P38
A Walther P38 is seen with an Axis soldier in one scene.
Revolvers
Colt New Service
Lt. Paddy Mayne (Jack O'Connell) has one of these revolvers, likely the .455 Webley variant manufactured for British troops during the First World War.
Webley .455 Mk VI
David Stirling (Connor Swindells), Jock Lewes (Alfie Allen), and Lt. Col. Dudley Wrangel Clarke (Dominic West) have Webley .455 Mk VI revolvers as their sidearms.
Submachine guns
MP38
One SAS soldier uses an MP38 appropriated from Axis forces.
Thompson M1928A1
Various SAS members, including Lewes, Stirling, Mayne, Sgt. Reg Seekings (Theo Barklam-Briggs), and Cpl. Mike Sadler (Tom Glynn-Carney), are seen with Thompson M1928A1 submachine guns.
Rifles
Carcano M91/38
An Italian soldier is seen with a Carcano M91/38 Short Rifle.
Karabiner 98k
Many Axis soldiers are equipped with Karabiner 98k rifles.
Lee-Enfield No.1 Mk III*
The Lee-Enfield No.1 Mk III*, known as the "SMLE" (Short Magazine Lee-Enfield) by the British, is ubiquitous among Allied troops throughout the series. It is also used by Lt. Jock Lewes (Alfie Allen) at the start of the first episode.
Machine guns
Breda Modello 37
When Lt. Lewes' men raid an Italian artillery encampment at the beginning of the first episode, a British sergeant appropriates their Breda Modello 37 against them.
Bren gun
Bren guns are used by British soldiers (including Cpl. Mike Sadler) during the series.
Lewis gun
Along with the Bren guns, British forces also use the Lewis gun. This includes 2nd Lt. Bill Fraser (Stuart Campbell) in one scene.
MG34
As Lewes' men raid the Mersa Brega supply depot, an Italian soldier fires an MG34 mounted to an Sd. Kfz. 251 half-track armoured fighting vehicle.
MG FF
A Messerschmitt BF-109E aircraft fires upon Lewes' unit with its pair of wing-mounted MG FF cannons.
Thrown
Fake grenade
Lt. Stirling clears a snooker room of its audience by frightening them off with a fake grenade that appears to have been adapted from a Mills Bomb, the standard-issue grenade of British forces during World War II.
Trivia
Painting of Jock Lewes with a Bren gun
Although Jock Lewes doesn't use a Bren gun in this series, a portrait of the real-life Lewes with a Bren gun was painted in 1940 by artist Rex Whistler (1905-1944).
