For a variety of reasons (U.K. gun law, safety, insurance costs) several of the weapons used on the show were airsoft guns. Rather than try and speculate the exact brand each of these replicas are, I have named them by what real world firearm they are actually meant to be, with the exception of the Hi-Capa as that isn't quite an exact replica of any real gun. Generally though if you'd like to try and find out the exact accurate airsoft guns used on the show then Tokyo Marui was the most ubiquitous brand of this era, though Chinese companies like Jing Gong were also rising in popularity.
As there are so many weapons here I've brown them up into four categories. The first sections are on weapons that Jack seems to actually own with the intention of keeping. The third covers the weapons owned by the Torchwood Institute that he used on the firing range in Ghost Machine. Finally, the last section is for weapons that he takes off another and only briefly uses, unlike something like the defabricator which he kept on a more permanent basis.
12.1. Webley revolver:
Years Used: 2006-2020
For collectors, Denix produce an affordable replica of this revolver (sans Webley logo) though real deactivated ones are also available in the UK. In other countries with less strict gun laws, unaltered live fire ones can be obtained.
For the events of Miracle Day, Jack used a Turkish made Zoraki 925. This model is actually just a blank firing machine pistol, utilising 9mm P.A.K. rounds. As the design is not based off any real firearm I’m not really sure why it was chosen, maybe because it looked slightly sci-fi?
It is worth noting that General Motors' Hydra-Matic Division and Harrington & Richardson were both given contracts in the late 1960's to produce the M16A1, however these rifles were produced in lower numbers and are significantly rarer than the Colt version these days. So there is a small possibility that the screen used carbine started life as a GM or H&R M16, but without seeing the text on the lower receiver it's not really possible to easily differentiate them.
Given all this history and modification the name I've given to it in the sub-title is more like a description than any specific standardised model. There is an incredibly popular piece of disinformation that's come out of certain circles within the U.S. in more recent history that the term AR-15 can only ever refer to the semi-automatic version of the weapon that's usually aimed at the civilian and law enforcement market, and that the American Military's line of select-fire rifles (M16, M4, XM177, et cetera) are fundamentally different weapons which are not AR-15 rifles.
12.5. Walther P99:
12.18. Heckler & Koch USP:
Years Used: 2011
This pistol was briefly used by Jack in Immortal Sins, it was taken off a henchman so isn’t technically his. The H&K USP is a German pistol that has been in production in one form or another since 1993, and although it was primarily aimed for use with law enforcement it is also popular with various militaries.

12.1. Webley revolver:
Years Used: 2006-2020
This top-break double-action revolver is the real-world weapon most closely associated with Harkness. Webley & Scott produced a variety of firearms in their Birmingham factory between 1834 and 1979. Once of the benefits of Jack's roomy greatcoat is the ability to easily conceal the pistol. This makes sense as (outside of very visually distinct examples such as police AFOs or King's Guard) open carrying a firearm in an urban area within the UK would draw a lot of attention, and very likely end up with him surrounded by armed police.
12.1.1. Webley Mk. IV .380 - 4.9 inch barrel:
Years Used: 2006-2020
To preface this section, it is important to note that there are multiple different Webley revolvers that look alike, but are in fact entirely different guns. Firearm nomenclature is something that often gets confusing as the each military's naming system is usually different to the manufacturer's naming system, and each can also change over the years for various reasons.
.jpg) |
| Most classic Torchwood era photos seem to sacrifice trigger discipline for cool factor. |
The key point to take away though is that the Webley revolvers come in two main varieties, the larger size military targeted service revolver line that takes .455 rounds, and the smaller size police and civilian targeted pocket revolver line that takes .380 rounds. The commonly used British terminology of the period was .380, though it is also called .38/200 (which is the specific 200 grain round the military originally used) or .38 S&W (the 146 grain Smith & Wesson designed dimensionally identical parent round Webley based their heavier 200 grain one on) and often shortened to .38 for simplicity. Below is an interesting history behind the revolver that you might find interesting, but isn't essential reading so long as you understand that there are two sizes of Webley revolvers and Jack's is the smaller.
 |
| These are the three main Webley type revolvers that were being issued circa WWII, Jack's is the middle one. The asterisk on the Enfield revolver marks it as the revised version that made modifications to areas such as the grip design, and removed the spur on the hammer as it had the potential to snag when drawn in tight spaces. As a result, the hammer cannot be manually cocked and these revised design Enfields can only be fired in double action. A double asterisk version was also created that made certain changes for production efficiency. |
--- START OF HISTORY LESSON ---
The .455 Webley was introduced as the Mk. I back in 1887 and saw incremental improvements over the years culminating in the final Mk. VI version that was released in 1915. During the First World War the Webley proved itself as a powerful sidearm with high stopping power that was well suited to trench warfare. Webley discontinued their line of .455 revolvers in 1923, though owing to a general shortage of pistols during WWII the .455 version was used within the British Military until its official phasing out in 1947.
The .38 Webley line was a separate model that was aimed more towards police and security, though it looked stylistically very similar save for the smaller overall size. As a result of being a different line, the generational numbering system is entirely independent of the larger .455 model. For example the .38 Mk. III came out in 1897, but the .38 Mk. IV wasn't released until 1923 (which is after the final generation of the .455). As a result of the .38 Mk. IV looks a lot more like a shrunken down .455 Mk. VI than any of the earlier five generations. As size is sometimes hard to gauge, one easy way to identify a .38 Mk. IV is the Webley logo on the grip, something not found on the various other models. Although first produced in 1923, this particular model of Webley was (for reasons I will go into in the paragraph below) not officially issued by the British Military until 1940, and ultimately phased out in 1963 in favour of the Browning Hi-Power. It was produced by Webley in various barrel lengths up until 1978.
 |
| Left: .38 Special Middle: .38 S&W Right: .455 Webley A comparison of rounds, the two on the right being used in the Webley revolvers. Although the .38 Special is the most common .38 inch round due to its popularity with the revolvers of most U.S. police forces, the longer cartridge means that although the diameter is the same, the round is much too long to fit in the cylinder of a Webley. The .38 S&W is dimensionally identical and cross compatible to the .38/200 developed from it by Webley. The military later changed to a 180 grain full metal jacket round to avoid possible violations of the Hague Conventions regarding expanding bullets. |
As to the reason why the .38 wasn't introduced until much later, the reason is a bit of a scandal. Around the same time that the .38 Mk. IV was being developed by Webley as a potential police revolver, the British Military decided that adopting a smaller calibre revolver with less weight and recoil would be more a more practical choice for the future. Webley submitted the model as a potential candidate for the new service revolver, but was ultimately rejected due to post war austerity measures. At the same time, the Government-run Royal Small Arms Factory at Enfield started producing their own Enfield No. 2 revolver for military use that was suspiciously close in design to the Webley. A legal case ensued which Webley lost due to the two revolvers having no cross compatible parts, though despite the verdict Webley was given partial restitution of their R&D costs. By the time of the Second World War however, Enfield couldn't produce pistols fast enough to keep up with demand, resulting in the MOD having to go back to Webley and (over the course of the conflict) order around 126,000 as a "substitute standard" for use with the troops. To further pick up the slack, a vehicle manufacturer in Glasgow called Albion Motors also obtained a contract to make Enfield pattern No. 2 revolvers. These are often called Albion No. 2 revolvers, they were produced between 1941 and 1943 and account for around 20% of No. 2 revolver production.
So although the .38 wasn't part of Webley's service revolver line, it did end up becoming a service revolver due to the military's changing requirements. These wartime produced ones were made to be turned out as quickly as possible, meaning that they didn't go through the usual finishing processes to polish out the tooling marks (this doesn't affect the actual function of the gun). As a result, Webley stamped these ones with WAR FINISH so that people wouldn't confuse these rush jobs with their peacetime standards.
--- END OF HISTORY LESSON ---
 |
| The finish is quite clear in the image on the left. |
Jack’s Cardiff era Webley is spec'd to the military standard one (barrel length, etc.) but does not have WAR FINISH stamped on the frame, so his would've been made at some point during peacetime. It was used throughout the Cardiff era until its canonical destruction during Children of Earth. It is unclear whether Jack was carrying a Webley during the 2010 bar scene. During a 1928 scene in the miracle Miracle Day episode Immortal Sins, the Webley and its holster very briefly appear as Jack flees New York. With his 2020 return, behind the scenes photos and an interview with Barrowman confirm that Jack had a Webley and holster again, though as far as I can tell no revolver is used in either 2021 appearance. I don't doubt Miracle Day and Fugitive of the Judoon did not use the original prop, however for all intents and purposes they'll be the same save for maybe some negligible differences.

| The screen used rubber stunt Webley. Given the extra insurance costs for using the real version this one war likely used for most scenes that didn't require a close up or actual operation of the weapon. |
For collectors, Denix produce an affordable replica of this revolver (sans Webley logo) though real deactivated ones are also available in the UK. In other countries with less strict gun laws, unaltered live fire ones can be obtained.
12.1.2. Sam Browne style holsters:
Years Used: 2006-2020
In keeping with his attire, the type he used was a British Military, brown leather, belt attached, flap holster that was designed to be attached to the wearer's Sam Browne belt. Given that the Webley was initially an officer's weapon, these holsters were usually positioned on the wearer's right side, given that the sword occupied the left side. They were however sometimes worn on the left side, as when not carrying a blade the height of the belt makes cross-drawing the easier option. Some holsters were made with fasteners to secure them to specific points on the belt, so these ones were designed specifically for a certain side. Given that Barrowman wears it lower down on his trouser belt, he wears it on his right side, which is more typical for a lower placed holster. |
| World War One era British Army officers, each armed with both a .455 Webley and a sword. |
It is worth noting that these holsters were produced by a variety of different manufacturers over the years and as a result there is a lot of variation. The .455 holster is too big for Jack's gun, however by the time the .38 Webley and Enfield revolvers started being used canvas holsters were issued with battledress instead of the leather ones. These leather ones were reserved for uniforms such as service dress, though often one isn't expected to be armed in day to day tasks. As a result, vintage .38 sized leather holsters would've been produced in lower numbers, so are harder to find these days.
12.1.2.1. British MOD chocolate brown:
Years Used: 2006-2009, 2010
This holster was seemingly the main one used during the classic Torchwood era. It appears to be a vintage military one (here stated as Ministry of Defence) in a chocolate brown colour with distressing that has turned the area around the barrel slightly lighter. It is belt mounted and is nearly always positioned in a way that points the barrel of the gun forwards. Most modern replicas have a belt loop that is orientated to point the barrel backwards when worn normally, though given Jack's belts area a lot narrower than the strap on a Sam Browne belt it is possible to twist one of these to be more forward pointing, though it is not ideal. It is possible, but not confirmed, that this was used in Jack's 2010 appearance. |
| The last confirmed appearance for this holster is during the first episode of Children of Earth. |
12.1.2.2. British MOD dark tan:
Years Used: 2008
This holster is similar to the previous one, though is more of a dark tan colour. As far as I can tell, this one was used in a variety of episodes and promotional photos for Torchwood's second series. I'm not sure what the story is behind this one but I assume it might've been a backup/stunt holster that for some reason started getting used more around 2008.

12.1.2.3. Unknown Miracle Day:
Years Used: 2011
Very little is seen of this one, as it only very briefly appears in a 1928 scene of Immortal Sins. The holster appears to be a more modern replica, as the belt loop is attached to the body of the holster with rivets instead of being stitched on like a vintage example. The angle of the belt loop seems to be consistent with his previous barrel-forwards oriented holsters. It also appears to have some sort of more modern belt mounting aide retrofitted onto it.
 |
| I'll add this to the episode's long list of costume anachronisms. |
12.1.2.4. Unknown return era:
Years Used: 2020
This holster isn't really visible in-episode, but can be seen in some behind the scenes footage for Fugitive of the Judoon. The chocolate brown colour and barrel angled back orientation are typical of the modern replicas available out there like this one.
 |
| Notice the barrel orientated pointing backwards on this holster. |
12.2. Tokyo Marui Hi-Capa 4.3:
Years Used: 2006, 2009
When Jack confronts the 456 within Thames House in Children of Earth, he uses a Tokyo Marui Hi-Capa 4.3 pistol. This is a Japanese made airsoft gun that is based on a 2011 pattern pistol, which in itself is a modernised version of the Colt M1911 design. Prior to this, this was also one of the weapons used on the firing range in Ghost Machine. |
| Children of Earth era promo photos. |
This model was seemingly the standard issue pistol given to members of Torchwood Three. For use on the show, the text on the slide was covered up with the Torchwood logo (because the mark of an ultra secret organisation is to plaster its name on everything) and an under-barrel attachment (that I assume is for blank firing effects) installed. The Hi-Capa was actually a very popular prop on Whoniverse shows during the Tenth and Eleventh Doctors' eras, being used by both of them too at one point or another (along with various companions and military personnel).
 |
| A stock Marui (left) compared to a screen used Torchwood pistol (right). |
As the name suggests, the Colt M1911 has been in production since 1911, the same year it officially entered service within the U.S. Army. It was their standard issue pistol for most of the 20th century, though started being phased out in the 1980's. The Infinity 2011 was developed around 1994 as a pistol for competitive shooting sports. Compared to the traditional M1911 it is lighter, more modular, more accurate, and features a double stack magazine (allowing for a much greater capacity).
That latter point is often considered the defining detail and often the 2011 name is given to any double stacked M1911 style pistol regardless of manufacturer. This airsoft gun is a blend of various 2011 style pistols rather than an exact replica of any particular one. With Tokyo Marui being a Japanese company, the airsoft name for this gun (Hi-Capa 4.3) is just a katakana English way of saying "high capacity" in a native pronunciation friendly way, followed by the barrel length in inches.
12.3. Zoraki machine pistol:
Years Used: 2011
As much of his outfit for Miracle Day was swapped out for the new production, a 21st century automatic pistol was chosen for Jack's main weapon. I'm not sure why the Webley was phased out, as one was briefly seen in the fourth series and it's an easy enough revolver to source given the number that were made.
12.3.1. Zoraki 925:
Years Used: 2011

| Jack's trigger discipline is much improved here. |

12.3.2. Unknown flap holster:
Years Used: 2011
Although come Miracle Day Captain Jack swapped his revolver for an automatic, his taste in holsters remained much the same. The Zoraki is once again stored on a leather flap holster worn on his waist, this time in a dark tan colour. Such an old fashioned triangular shaped holster wouldn’t be an off-the-shelf buy for an obscure modern pistol, so it would’ve been custom made by someone for the series. |

12.4. Colt AR-15 CQB Carbine:
Years Used: 2011
During the Rhossili Bay scene of the opening episode of Miracle Day, Jack Harkness wields an AR-15 pattern carbine. This rifle is essentially identical to an airsoft M4 S-System (save for having a shorter barrel than the usual 14.5 inches), and has been incorrectly identified as this before. The screen used weapon however is not an airsoft gun (at least not an electric one) as the grip has a hollow base, in an airsoft replica the grip is solid here in order to house the motor. It also has an M16A1 style lower receiver (as evidenced from the reinforcement around the between the buffer tube and the pin) which is slightly mismatched in shade compared to the upper. This style of lower was first produced in 1964 for the XM16E1, and discontinued around the early 1980’s due to the introduction of the M16A2, placing this lower’s date of creation somewhere in that range. |
| Promo shot of Jack wielding the carbine, trigger discipline clearly maintained. |
Legally, the lower receiver is the one serialised part of the rifle that defines the identity of that specific firearm. This means that Jack’s gun started life as an old school full auto M16 and has had all the other parts replaced with waffle stock era M4A1 ones to make it into a more modern 10.3 inch barrel CQB carbine, much like the U.S. Navy did for their MK18 MOD 0.
 |
| A rare behind the scenes photo that shows the slightly different finishes on the upper and lower receivers. |
Accessories include A.R.M.S. S.I.R. System, M68 Aimpoint scope, PRI flip-up front sight, KAC QQ suppressor, and detachable front and rear sling mount attachments. A spring bipod is seen in some behind the scenes photos but isn’t present in either the episode or promotional shot.
 |
| Promo photo of Rex wielding the weapon. |
It is worth noting that General Motors' Hydra-Matic Division and Harrington & Richardson were both given contracts in the late 1960's to produce the M16A1, however these rifles were produced in lower numbers and are significantly rarer than the Colt version these days. So there is a small possibility that the screen used carbine started life as a GM or H&R M16, but without seeing the text on the lower receiver it's not really possible to easily differentiate them.
--- TERMINOLOGY CLARIFICATION ---
Given all this history and modification the name I've given to it in the sub-title is more like a description than any specific standardised model. There is an incredibly popular piece of disinformation that's come out of certain circles within the U.S. in more recent history that the term AR-15 can only ever refer to the semi-automatic version of the weapon that's usually aimed at the civilian and law enforcement market, and that the American Military's line of select-fire rifles (M16, M4, XM177, et cetera) are fundamentally different weapons which are not AR-15 rifles.
This is a categorically incorrect. It is an argument either repeated by people who do not have a large amount of background knowledge and are simply misinformed, or those who do know better but actively spread this disinformation for their own purposes. This is usually done for political reasons, namely as a form of Chewbacca defence to confuse the issue in regards to gun control. In doing so, they can put as much distance as possible between the civilian legal weapons from the (more tightly regulated) military spec ones.
In reality, the Armalite/Colt AR-15 (Model 601) was the very first firearm to bear the name AR-15 (hence has the most valid case of any specific model to use the name) and it was in fact fully-automatic. Way before the term started to become politicised, hundreds of thousands (if not millions) of of fully-automatic rifles were produced, designated as various AR-15 models, with AR-15 prominently displayed on the receiver. Going in the other direction, Colt also markets many modern semi-automatic carbines under the name of M4, despite not being the same select-fire specification as the M4 they supply to militaries. It is not inaccurate to simply call any AR-15 pattern rifle (regardless of manufacturer, automatic capability, calibre, etc) an AR-15. Many of these firearms related terms and designations are not mutually exclusive, multiple can all be correct.
--- END OF CLARIFICATION ---
 |
| This is more or less what Jack's carbine would've looked like out of the factory, the rifle pictured is a Colt 603 (also known as an AR-15 Model 03 or M16A1 if using U.S. Army designation). Many other AR-15 models used this style of lower receiver, though the 603 was the one produced in the greatest numbers and saw extensive use in the Vietnam War. The markings on these rifles are rolled, resulting in recessed text, the white infill has been added by someone later on to enhance legibility. |
However, for a variety of reasons, if you're a collector it'd be best to just get an airsoft M4 S-System as the best available alt and swap out the 14.5 inch barrel for a 10.3 inch one.
 |
| An airsoft M4 S-System, this is generally accurate save for the barrel length. |
12.5. Walther P99:
Years Used: 2011
During the episode The Gathering Jack is briefly seen threatening a surveillance operative with a Walther P99. There is no explanation as to why he is using this rather than the Zoraki which was his usual pistol for Miracle Day, though Barrowman can be seen holding the P99 in one of the photoshoots so presumably this is meant to be a secondary pistol that he owns.
 |
| Promo shot (left) compared to in-episode shots (right). |
The P99 was primarily designed as a pistol for law enforcement, though it is probably most well known for being used in Pierce Brosnan's James Bond films. Starting with Tomorrow Never Dies it was seen as a more modern update to his usual Walther PPK, and was even carried over into the beginning of Casino Royale, though Bond switches back to the classic PPK afterwards.

12.6. Sonic Blaster:

Years Used: 2021
Although never used on-screen during his time working for Torchwood, Jack would use this weapon again during Revolution of the Daleks. This version was made by RubberToe Replicas, though is visually a bit different given the different construction techniques employed (this version relied on 3D printing, the original looked more handmade). |

12.7. Mark Cordory Compact Laser Deluxe:
Years Used: 2005
This prop was briefly used during Bad Wolf. There's not much to say about it save for it being a Derringer sized laser pistol.
12.8. Unknown defabricator:
Years Used: 2005, 2008
The defabricator was obtained from Trin-E and Zu-Zana on Satellite Five and used during the final two episode of Doctor Who's first series. Jack modified this device into an anti-Dalek weapon during this time, and subsequently upgraded the power supply between then and its later appearance in The Stolen Earth.  |
| 2005 vs. 2008. |
It's unclear how Jack brought this weapon back from the future, unless he was holding it when he did the initial jump back to the 1800's.
 |
| The defabricatior was apparently a joint effort between multiple prop makers. |
12.9. Lematec stun gun:
Years Used: 2006-2008
The stun pistol was seemingly the standard issue non-lethal pistol for Torchwood Three, having its first appearance in They Keep Killing Suzie and subsequently appearing in Meat.
 |
| Jack using the stun gun for both of its appearances. |
 |
| Promo photos of one of the original props. Unfortunately I can't find a higher quality version of this online. |
The prop itself is a Lamatec LE-D130 pneumatic drill gun, just with some decals added to it in order to make it look more like a taser.
 |
| Stock Lamatec (left) compared to the stun pistol (right), I'm not totally sure if that one is an original prop or somebody's replica. |
12.10. Nick Robatto big gun:
Years Used: 2008
This weapon made just the one appearance to kill the shape-shifter in Something Borrowed. It has no official name, it's just some form of alien weapon that the team keeps (in disassembled form) within the Range Rover.
 |
| Shots from the weapon's one and only appearance. I like to imagine it canonically ended up in the hands of the teenagers who nicked the Range Rover in Children of Earth. |
Presumably this is some sort of energy weapon as, although the alien explodes when shot with it, a conventional explosive like a grenade launcher would've killed Rhys too given his proximity.

12.11. Beretta 92F Inox:
Years Used: 2006
This 9mm was the first gun that Gwen used on the firing range. The Beretta 92 has been in production since 1976 (the 92F being from 1984 onwards) and succeeded the Colt M1911 as the U.S. Army's standard issue sidearm (albeit not this particular stainless steel Inox version) being given the designation M9.

|
12.13. Sig-Sauer P226:
Years Used: 2006
The P226 is a Swiss pistol that was first produced in 1984 to compete in the U.S. Army's XM9 trials, though the contract ultimately went to the Beretta 92F. It subsequently found favour with multiple other militaries and law enforcement agencies around the world. Jack doesn't technically fire this gun, only chambers a round. | |
|
12.14. Smith & Wesson Model 36:
Years Used: 2006
The Model 36 is a .38 Special revolver introduced in 1950 and was popular with law enforcement. Jack doesn't actually shoot this one, just guides Gwen on how to use it.

12.16. Heckler & Koch G36C:
Years Used: 2005, 2008
The G36C was first used by Jack at the end of Doctor Who's first series, whilst onboard Satellite Five. Seemingly this model of assault rifle was still in use 198,000 years into the future (despite currently being phased out by the German military), much like how in Utopia a 1950's French lorry was still in use in the year 100 trillion. He would use a G36C again whilst unsuccessfully trying to escape his captivity in Last of the Time Lords.

The G36 rifle was first produced in 1996, with the significantly shortened G36C being introduced in 2001. It is a popular prop in the 21st century Whoniverse shows, often being seen in the hands of the British Army and UNIT. Torchwood Three is seen to have both G36C and G36K rifles in its armoury. The G36K being a shortened version of the G36, though not as compact as the G36C. Given that the real weapon has a polymer construction even the the plastic airsoft replicas look realistic. Many airsoft weapons use plastic bodies (especially Japanese ones due to the regulations over there) which makes them look a little less realistic as props if the real world weapon isn't also a polymer construction.

Children of Earth era promo shot, the Chinese origin suggests this airsoft gun was made by Jing Gong. |
12.17. Remington Model 870:
Years Used: 2006
This model of American pump action shotgun was first made back in 1950, and was used by Jack at the end of Countrycide. The one used on the show was clearly in violation of U.K. laws regarding shotgun maximum ammo capacity, though as the residents of the village were engaged in ritualistic murder and cannibalism I doubt this extra weapons charge would make much difference during their sentencing.

Years Used: 2011
This pistol was briefly used by Jack in Immortal Sins, it was taken off a henchman so isn’t technically his. The H&K USP is a German pistol that has been in production in one form or another since 1993, and although it was primarily aimed for use with law enforcement it is also popular with various militaries.
