While many companies supply weapons for film and TV, we are in the unique position of offering a working armoury of over 3,000 weapons, advisors specialising in militaries and conflicts from WWI to the present, plus indoor, live-firing facilities for filming.
Crown Armouries also works with companies specialising in special effects and pyrotechnics suited to military productions and can produce effects from a rain rig to an artillery barrage, a rocket-propelled grenade attack to a strafing run from an aircraft.
We also have close contacts with companies who can supply armoured vehicles including American WWII M4 Sherman and M24 Chaffee tanks alongside more modern armour such as FV107 Scimitar and FV101 Scorpion. They also have tank workshops where the filming of the restoration process can be seen.
