| | '''''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). |

| ==Heckler & Koch MP5A3==
| | [[Category:Disambiguation pages]] |
| | |
| The standard-issue weapons for the SAS unit Red Troop in the TV show are [[Heckler & Koch 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.

| |
| | |
| ==Heckler & Koch MP5SD3==
| |
| | |
| 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.

| |
| | |
| ==SIG-Sauer P226==
| |
| | |
| 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 uses his P226 to take down several [[AK-47|Kalashnikov]]-toting IRA terrorists during an ambush.

| |
| | |
| ==SIG-Sauer P228==
| |
| | |
| In some episodes, the smaller [[Sig Sauer P220 pistol series#SIG P228|SIG-Sauer P228]] also makes appearances in the hands of Red Troop, most notably in Episode 2.2, "Mad Dogs", when Henno, Jamie, and Ricky are all seen firing them on the range.

| |
| | |
| | |
| ==SIG-Sauer P225==
| |
| | |
| In Episodes 2.1 and 2.3, Jamie is seen using the [[Sig Sauer P220 pistol series#SIG P225|SIG-Sauer P225]] as his sidearm, even though this pistol is a dated design with a smaller magazine capacity than the P226s and P228s which Red Troop usually uses on the show.

| | |
| ==Accuracy International L96A1==
| |
| | |
| Whenever Red Troop requires sniper support, the snipers are typically armed with [[Accuracy International L96A1]] rifles in 7.62x51mm NATO.
| |
| | |

| |
| | |
| | |
| ==M16 series==
| |
| | |
| For overseas missions where hostages and CQB are not important considerations, Red Troop uses several models in the [[M16 rifle series]], ranging from the very earliest M16 to the M16A2, though in nearly all cases, their rifles seem to be fitted with the handguards of M16A2s. They also use [[M203 grenade launcher]]s (or rather, 37mm Colt flare launchers impersonating the M203) quite frequently.
| |
| | |
| [[Image:M16-a2-1-.jpg|thumb|400px|none|M16A2 5.56mm]]

| |
| [[Image:Vlcsnap-136037.jpg|thumb|none|400px|Pete Twomley ([[Tony Curan]]) using an M16A1 fitted with an M16A2 handguard in Episode 2.6, "Dead Is Forever".]]
| |
| [[Image:Vlcsnap-9886.jpg|thumb|none|400px|Dave Woolston ([[Louis Decosta Johnson]]) using an extremely beat-up M16A1 fitted with an M203 in Episode 3.4, "Weapon of Choice".]]
| |
| | |
| | |
| ==CAR-15/M16 carbine series==
| |
| | |
| Red Troop also uses [[M16 rifle series#|CAR-15/M16 carbine]] variations on its overseas missions which, like the full-size M16s they are also seen using, often have fake [[M203 grenade launcher]]s mounted under the barrels.
| |
| | |
| Throughout Season 3, Henno often uses a CAR-15 with an M203 of unknown variant. It looks like an XM177E2, except that it has a brass deflector on the receiver.
| |
| | |
| [[Image:CAR-15Rifle.jpg|thumb|none|400px|CAR-15/XM177 look-a-like 5.56mm]]

| |
| | |
| Several Model 733 CAR-15s (with 11.5-inch barrels and [[M16 rifle series#M16A2 Rifle|M16A2]]-style receivers) are used in several episodes, most notably Episode 3.4, "Deadlier Than The Male".
| |
| | |
| [[Image:Vlcsnap-9978.jpg|thumb|none|400px|Becca Gallagher ([[Heather Peace]]) with a Colt M733 in Episode 3.4, "Weapon of Choice".]]
| |
| | |
| | |
| ==(Fake) M203==
| |
| | |
| Red Troop's M16s and CAR-15s are often fitted with what appear to be [[M203 grenade launcher]]s. However, a close inspection of the receivers reveals that they are actually the look-a-like 37mm Colt flare launchers which are often used to substitute for the M203 in many films and TV shows.
| |

| [[Image:Vlcsnap-12438.jpg|thumb|none|400px|Henno prepares to fire the M203 on his CAR-15 in Episode 3.4, "Weapon of Choice".]]
| |
| | |
| ==FN Minimi==
| |
| | |
| Red Troop is frequently seen using the [[FN Minimi]] for support during missions overseas.
| |
| | |
| [[Image:M249 FN MINIMI DA-SC-85-11586 c1.jpg|thumb|none|400px|FN Minimi 5.56mm with 200-round ammo drum.]]

| |
| | |
| | |
| | |
| ==Colt M1911 Commander==
| |
| | |
| A Colt Commander is used by one of the bank robbers in Episode 1.1, "The Killing House".
| |
| | |
| [[Image:1911 combat commander.jpg|thumb|none|300px|Colt M1911 Commander .45 ACP]]

| |
| | |
| | |
| ==Accuracy International AW50F==
| |
| | |
| 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).

| |
| | |
| | |
| ==CZ-75==
| |
| | |
| [[CZ-75]] pistols (both the original and the newer CZ-75B) appear in the hands of bad guys throughout the series.
| |
| | |
| [[Image:Cz75.jpg|thumb|none|300px|CZ-75 9mm]]

| |
| | |
| | |
| ==Heckler & Koch HK33==
| |
| | |
| 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".

| |
| | |
| | |
| ==Glock 17==
| |
| | |
| [[Glock#Glock 17|Glock 17]] pistols are used by some terrorists in the series. In Episode 1.5, "The Killing of a One-Eyed Bookie", they are used by IRA terrorists as well as Royal Ulster Constabulary officers.
| |
| | |
| [[Image:Glock-17.gif|thumb|none|300px|Glock 17 9mm]]
| |
| [[Image:Vlcsnap-49193.jpg|thumb|none|400px|An IRA terrorist firing a stolen Glock 17 at Henno and Caroline in Episode 1.5, "The Killing of a One-Eyed Bookie".]]

| |
| | |
| | |
| ==Heckler & Koch USP==
| |
| | |
| [[Heckler & Koch USP]] pistols are seen in some episodes, usually in the hands of bad guys. The French SF unit all carry them in Episode 2.1, "Communication".
| |
| | |
| [[Image:HK-USP.jpg|thumb|none|350px|Heckler & Koch USP .45 ACP]]

| |
| | |
| | |
| ==AK-47/AKM variations==
| |
| | |
| 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 movies and TV shows made in the West, the Chinese [[AK-47#Norinco Type 56|Norinco Type 56]] (particularly the folding-stock Type 56-1) is the most frequently-seen Kalashnikov derivative in the series.
| |
| | |
| [[Image:Type56S.jpg|thumb|none|300px|Norinco Type 56-1 7.62x39mm]]
| |
| [[Image:Vlcsnap-129430.jpg|thumb|none|400px|Georgian militants passing Red Troop in a truck in Episode 2.6, "Dead Is Forever"; they are armed mostly with Chinese Type 56-1 rifles and at least one RPG-7.]]
| |
| [[Image:Vlcsnap-10358.jpg|thumb|none|400px|Henno using a Type 56-1 AK in Episode 3.4, "Weapon of Choice".]]
| |
| | |
| [[AK-47#AKM|AKM]] rifles (or possibly Egyptian MISR copies or some other derivative) also appear in many episodes.
| |
| | |
| [[Image:IMG_7046.JPG|thumb|none|300px|AKM 7.62x39mm]]

| |
| [[Image:Vlcsnap-16804.jpg|thumb|none|400px|A terrorist firing an AKM in Episode 3.4, "Weapon of Choice".]]
| |
| | |
| Also common in the show are Yugoslav [[Zastava M70|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"). These are Yugoslavian AKM variants with folding ladder sights for launching grenades.

| |
| | |
| ==Heckler & Koch MP5KA1==
| |
| | |
| [[Heckler & Koch MP5#Heckler & Koch MP5K|Heckler & Koch MP5K]] machine pistols appear in some episodes, such as Episode 1.5, "The Killing of a One-Eyed Bookie", where Captain Caroline Walsh ([[Alex Reid]]) uses one to fire back at IRA terrorists during the ambush. 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).

| |
| | |
| | |
| ==Mini Uzi==
| |
| | |
| The [[Uzi#Mini Uzi|Mini Uzi]] machine pistol appears in several episodes.
