| | + | '''''Ultimate Force''''' was a British television show that ran from 2002-2006. It centered around 'Red Troop', a crack SAS (Special Air Service) unit that was given the task of defending Britain from terrorist threats in the Post-9/11 world. One of the creators was former SAS soldier [[Chris Ryan]], and as such, has many elements of the real world SAS within the show. One criticism was the show's deference to "political correctness" when it had a female character joining the frontline SAS unit and engaging in front line combat, which would never happen in real life (even in today's mixed gender armed services). |

| − | The standard-issue weapons for the SAS unit Red Troop in the TV show are [[MP5#Heckler & Koch MP5A3|Heckler & Koch MP5A3]] submachine guns, which are always seen with Surefire fore ends and tactical flashlights as well as the SEF-style lower receiver. These weapons are typically used in Red Troop's domestic hostage rescue missions.
| |
| − | | |
| − | The other SAS unit, Blue Troop, also use identical weapons, as do many Metropolitan Police SO-19 (now CO-19) constables throughout the show.

| − | Red Troop also makes use of the suppressed [[MP5# Heckler & Koch MP5SD|Heckler & Koch MP5SD3]] on some missions where maintaining a low profile is preferable in order to avoid alerting terrorists to their presence. These weapons are featured most prominently in Episode 2.5, "What in the Name of God" when Red Troop invades the stronghold of a Christian cult terrorist group to capture their leader.

| − | The [[Sig Sauer P220 pistol series#SIG P226|SIG-Sauer P226]] is the preferred sidearm of Red Troop and is used throughout the series. It is seen most prominently in Episode 1.5, "The Killing of a One-Eyed Bookie" in the hands of Sgt. Henno Garvie ([[Ross Kemp]]), who use his P226 to take down several [[AK-47|Kalashnikov]]-toting IRA terrorists during an ambush.

| − | In Episode 1.2, "Just a Target", Jamie ([[Jamie Draven]]) goes undercover and joins a militant anti-globalization group which wants him to assassinate an international banker. The terrorists give him a huge .50 BMG [[Accuracy International AW50F]] long-range rifle, which none of them are able to fire accurately, and ask him to use it for the assassination. Jamie winds up using the gun to kill one of the terrorists at point-blank range, firing from the hip in a small room (in real life, doing this would cause anyone to go deaf).

| − | Another weapon which appears regularly in the series is the [[Heckler & Koch HK33]], and more specifically, the HK33A3 folding-stock variant. Red Troop typically uses these weapons with claw mounts and scopes as semi-automatic sniper rifles (i.e. Episode 1.5, "The Killing of a One-Eyed Bookie" and 3.4, "Weapon of Choice"). They also appear in the hands of French special forces in Episode 2.1, "Communication".

| |
| − | | |
| − | Many [[AK-47]] and [[AK-47#AKM|AKM]] variants appear in the series in the hands of terrorists, rebel groups, and Third World armies. Red Troop also use AKs sometimes when they are out of ammunition for their own weapons, or when other weapons are not available. Typical of most Western productions, the Chinese Norinco Type 56-1 ([[AK-47#AKMS|AKMS]]) is the most frequently-seen Kalashnikov derivative in the series. Also common are Yugoslav Zastava M70B1 and M70B2 assault rifles (i.e. Episode 1.5, "The Killing of a One-Eyed Bookie", and Henno also uses an M70B1 in Episode 1.6, "Something to Do with Justice").

The version seen in the show is always the "KA1" variation, a version designed for concealed carry (it lacks the H&K diopter sights in order to avoid getting snagged on clothing when being drawn quickly from beneath a jacket).
