== Glock 17 ==

The [[Glock_17#Glock_17|Glock 17]] appears in the film as the standard sidearm of the New York City Police officers, including Det. Jack Mosley ([[Bruce Willis]]) and Det. Frank Nugent ([[David Morse]]), and appears frequently throughout the film. Some can also be seen equipped with tactical flashlights being used by N.Y.P.D. SWAT officers.

== Ithaca 37 ==

The [[Ithaca 37]] shotgun appears in ''[[16 Blocks]]'' as the weapon of choice for N.Y.P.D. SWAT officers during the hostage situation aboard the bus.

== H&K MP5A3 ==

The [[H&K MP5#Heckler & Koch MP5A3|H&K MP5A3]] appears in the film being used by N.Y.P.D. SWAT, most notably during the raid on the apartment at the beginning of the film, and during the hostage situation on the bus. As with most SWAT weapons, they are fitted with tactical flashlights in the foregrips.

== M40 Sniper Rifle ==

During the hostage situation aboard the bus N.Y.P.D. snipers can be seen with [[M40 sniper rifle]]s. One is later used by a SWAT sniper at the courthouse to kill one of the corrupt cops as he's attempting to kill Detective Jack Mosley ([[Bruce Willis]]).

== Sawed off Shotgun ==

During the encounter with Detective Frank Nugent ([[David Morse]]) at the bar, Mosley takes a Remington Spartan model 12ga double-barreled sawed off shotgun from behind the counter and uses it to shoot one of the corrupt officers, then hold off the others while he and Eddie make their escape, dumping it in a trash can outside. When asked why he discarded the weapon, Mosley replied that it hadn't been fired in 20 years and that it was luck that it fired at all. Originally, the Remington Spartan line of entry level shotguns was produced by Baikal, a Russian manufacturer.

== Smith & Wesson Model 640 ==

After losing his Glock at the bar, Mosley returns to his home and retrieves a [[Smith & Wesson Model 640]] revolver from his closet. He then uses it as a backup weapon throughout the film after taking another Glock from one of the corrupt cops pursuing him. Eddie uses it briefly when he sneaks up on Nugent from behind, holding him at gunpoint with it while Mosley handcuffs him. These were authorized (and may still be) as back-up and off-duty guns for NYPD. It is an all steel hammerless J-frame with a 5 shot cylinder that fires only .38 special ammo.

== Walther PPK ==

When persuing Mosley and Eddie through Chinatown, Nugent ([[David Morse]]) pulls a [[Walther PPK]] from a hidden ankle holster, firing both it and his [[Glock_17#Glock_17|Glock 17]] akimbo when he bursts into the room where the two are holed up.
