** And at the end of "Need to Know".
--->'''Doyle:''' Permission to make an observation, sir. You're a ruthless old bastard.

* CoolGuns:
** Where to start...the Browning Hi-Power for Bodie and Doyle in the early seasons, then a Smith & Wesson Model 19 for Bodie and the Walther P38 for Doyle. Not to mention both being issued with AR-18's, AR-10's, Uzis, Ingrams, or Smith & Wesson Model 29's revolvers, while the villains had everything from MAT-49 submachine guns to MILAN anti-tank launchers. Just pure GunPorn.
** There's also the A-180 in ''Hunter/Hunted'', a drum-fed automatic rifle with LaserSight, though it has little resemblance to the [[http://modernfirearms.net/smg/usa/american-10-e.html American 180 submachine gun]] it's based on.
** The ActionPrologue of "Wild Justice" has Bodie and Doyle using prototype Enfield [=XL64E5=]'s (now known as the [=SA80=]) that were being evaluated by the British military and loaned to the production.

-->'''Cowley:''' I don't suppose you fought in the war, Mr. Sutton? No. I fought in several. The worst was against a...a barbaric race. But the British are nothing if not adaptable; we learn barbarism very quickly. We had a problem one day. Was the road ahead mined? We had prisoners but they wouldn't talk. So we bound them and made them lead the advance. They didn't think we would, not at first. But then the first man ahead was gone. ''(finger snap)'' Like that. An antipersonnel mine is a very nasty thing, Mr. Sutton, very nasty. And then the second man. ''(finger snap)'' And the third. And ''then'' they talked. ''Then'' they knew we meant it. A shocking story. It shocked me at the time and it still shocks me. [[NecessaryEvil But it was necessary to save hundreds of lives, it was necessary.]] I'm willing to be shocked again if necessary. ''(Cowley produces a hypodermic syringe)'' I'm going to [[HoistByHisOwnPetard hoist you with your own petard]], Mr. Sutton. I'm going to turn you into an addict. ''(Sutton [[Room101 cringes away]] only to be caught in a headlock by Doyle)'' A crash course in addiction because we have access to the purest stuff. A craving, crawling do-anything-for-money junkie. Look at me Sutton. [[SuddenlyShouting LOOK AT ME!]] Remember the road that was mined. Do you have any doubt at all that I intend doing what I say?
