Other Weapons

Edison Giocattoli Sharkmatic

George Lacey (Nick Stringer) uses a Edison Giocattoli Sharkmatic cap gun in order to threaten Charlie Hungerford in "Private Fight" (S06E07). This toy gun is very realistic, and anyone without proper knowledge would definitely take it for a real weapon, especially when the gun is pointed from a car on high speed.

Lacey points the pistol at Charlie Hungerford while overtaking his car.

A good view of the pistol.

"Click... click... click..." The cap tape appears from the muzzle, explaining the audience that the gun is a mere toy.

Toy pump action shotgun

A magazine fed pump action shotgun is seen in George Lacey's (Nick Stringer) car in "Private Fight" (S06E07). It appears to be a toy gun (note the box that lies under the gun), as like as Lacey's Sharkmatic pistol (see above). This toy is supposedly modelled after Valtro PM5, one of the very limited number of magazine fed shotguns that existed in 1987.

FAS AP 604 Air Pistol

Hitman Reno (Barrie Houghton) uses a FAS AP 604 air pistol with poisoned darts for the assassination in "Retirement Plan" (S06E08). The pistol is fitted with Singlepoint OEG sighting device.

FAS AP 604 - .177 (4.5mm)

The pistol and darts. The gun is fitted with a fake gas tank added ahead of the trigger guard. The real gun is a single stroke pneumatic so doesn't have a precharged tank.

Reno presses the trigger.

Smoke Grenade

In "Private Fight" (S06E07) Peter Retford (Eric Allan) uses a smoke grenade to blind Johnson's henchman who tried to assault him. It bears resemblance with British L60 series grenades but more likely is a mere mockup.

For reference: L64A1 Smoke Grenade

Retford operates the grenade. The "L2A1" inscription on the body is incorrect as L2A1 is a frag grenade with a rather different shape.

Trivia

In one scene in "The Sin of Forgiveness" (S06E05) a historical site with a German coastal gun of unclear model is seen.
