__TOC__
= Revolvers =
== Smith & Wesson Mk II Hand Ejector ==
Albert Campion (Peter Davison) draws a Smith & Wesson Mk II Hand Ejector revolver from the suitcase in "Look to the Lady: Part 1" (S01E01). The revolver that Campion uses in the night scene in "Police at the Funeral: Part 2" (S01E04) looks similar to the one used in "Look to the Lady" and possibly is the same model or even the same prop reused.
== Smith & Wesson Military & Police ==
Albert Campion (Peter Davison) holds a Smith & Wesson Military & Police revolver in "Sweet Danger: Part 2" (S02E02). He gives the revolver to Amanda Fitton (Lysette Anthony) who in turn passes the gun to Guffy Randall (David Haig). A Military & Police revolver is also used by Albert Campion in "Flowers for the Judge: Part 2" (S02E06).
== Webley .455 Mk VI ==
A nickel plated Webley .455 Mk VI is used in "Police at the Funeral" (S01E03/E04) for the suicide staged as murder. What appears to be a Webley revolver, very likely a Mk VI, is seen in hands of a British officer in the final scene in "Sweet Danger: Part 2" (S02E02).
= Pistols =
== M1911-style Pistol ==
When Campion's car is stopped on the road by the gang in "Look to the Lady: Part 1" (S01E01), Natty Johnson (Alan Cody) threatens Campion with a pistol that is supposed to be an M1911 or M1911A1.
== Beretta M1934 ==
A compact pistol with typical Beretta open-top slide is used by Brett Savanake (Iain Cuthbertson) in the climactic scene in "Sweet Danger: Part 2" (S02E02). The pistol is seen only in the darkness but what is seen allows to guess that this is a Beretta M1934.
== Unidentified pistols ==
Alistair Barber (Robert Robinson) uses a pistol in the climactic scene in "Mystery Mile: Part 2" (S02E08). The gun is seen only in darkness.
One of Savanake's henchmen holds a pistol when the gang stop the car in "Sweet Danger: Part 2" (S02E02). The pistol is seen very briefly and unclear; possibly this is an M1911.
= Submachine Guns =
== Thompson Submachine Gun ==
Three of Savanake's henchmen are armed with Thompson Submachine Guns in "Sweet Danger: Part 2" (S02E02). All Tommy Guns have drum magazines and foregrips so they may be M1921A/AC or M1928.
= Rifles =
== Lee-Enfield No. 1 Mk III ==
In the final scene in "Sweet Danger: Part 2" (S02E02), when a unit of British army is summoned against the gangsters, a Lee-Enfield No. 1 Mk III rifle is seen in hands of a soldier.
= Shotguns =
== Double Barreled Shotgun ==
Swithin Cush (Geoffrey Bayldon) commits a suicide with a Double Barreled Shotgun in "Mystery Mile: Part 1" (S02E07).
= Other Weapons =
== Mills Bomb ==
'Squire' Mercer (Nicolas Chagrin) produces a Mills Bomb in the climactic scene in "Dancers in Mourning: Part 2" (S02E04).
== Smoke Bomb ==
Albert Campion (Peter Davison) uses a canister-type smoke bomb with a match cord during the liberation of Biddy Pagett in "Mystery Mile: Part 2" (S02E08). The body of the smoke bomb has markings "W.D. MK VII 8/15". "W.D." means "War Department", so this must be a military piece but the exact model is unknown.
== Spray Gun ==
Alistair Barber (Robert Robinson) uses a spray gun, loaded with strong acid or alkali, in the climactic scene in "Mystery Mile: Part 2" (S02E08). The spray gun is constructed from a syringe mounted on a pistol grip with a trigger mechanism that drives the piston.
