To what extend am i allowed to use PR for other things

I'm not sure if this is the best place to post but Hey at least people will read it here.
I run a small film group and we mostly make action films for fun and i've been using PR gun sounds for most of my guns shots.
such as in this
Ice cold and fire - YouTube
(i used the PR MP5 and the PPSH and the shotgun cocking sound. All pistols sounds are sourced from else My Friend complains that all PR pistol sounds sound the same)
Now sounds i reckon isn't a big deal. As if i actually bothered to go and record some i'd get more or less the same stuff as PR does or if i do some searching for realistic gun sounds i'd find something pretty similar.
Also there are countless videos out there that just use counter strike gun sounds and i doubt they asked permission first.
I could use them but they are unrealistic so nah..
But i've been thinking about using PR's models for 3D stuff.
For those who aren't familiar with the BF2 editor you can use in game controls to move your character/ vehicle while keeping the camera in place. Which is perfect as all i need to do is match the camera angle with my real world camera. Remove the background from the BF2 editor and i'm away and filming without having to build a full sized tank prop.
I thought probably pays to ask if i can do this before doing it.
As the PR models are amazingly detailed and are perfect for what i have in mind.
Also can anyone tell me how i can open the PR models in the editor. I can't seem to find them.
Also it would be nice to use footage straight from the editor instead of having to find shoot at the ocean or some constant background in game and then tediously remove the background using colour key on adobe aftereffects.
Such as in this video
First person sniper - YouTube
(i had to shoot into the sea at Gaza beach for this as you can tell from the sea sounds)
Saves the really difficult task of actually making a first person rig.
made harder by the fact that we don't actually own a bolt action sniper prop.
It would be much nicer if i could just work with footage like this

For all my first person shots if need be.
So yeah. I'd really appreciate it if i'm allowed to use some of this amazing work for other purposes.
Thanks
