Handguns

Vektor Z88

What appears to be an Beretta 92FS is used through Project Dawn. Because this season was partially filmed in South Africa is most likely the Beretta's South African clone, the Vektor Z88. It is seen used by Abasi Sawalha (David Dennis) and Shabbir (Zee Sulleyman) when they launch a terrorist attack on a New Delhi Hotel in episodes 1 & 2. Sergeant Michael Stonebridge (Philip Winchester) uses a captured pistol for much of episode 2. In episode 6, Stonebridge's Vektor SP1 turns into a Beretta due to a continuity error. Donoghue (Peter O'Meara), a KFOR officer, uses a Beretta in episodes 7 & 8.
