Error creating thumbnail: File missing WARNING! THIS PAGE CONTAINS SPOILERS!
Handguns
Glock 17
Detectives Rick Merriweather (Shawn Doyle) and Ford Saunders (Lyriq Bent) of the Weapons Enforcement Unit, as well as other officers of the Toronto Police Service, use Glock 17s as their sidearms. A drug dealer that Conrod Shannon (Clé Bennett) shoots in an apartment stairwell also carries a Glock 17.
Ruger KP90
After a shootout on a busy downtown street results in the death of bystander Jessica Farrell (an incident based on the 2005 Boxing Day shooting), Reggie (Richard Chevolleau) attempts to flee the scene with a Ruger KP90 before being caught by Saunders.
Webley Revolver
Businessman Paul Duguid (Colm Feore) is shown practicing at a shooting range with a Webley Mk VI revolver. He later gives the revolver to the head of the Police Oversight Committee, Don Stafford (Jim Mezon) as a gift, calling it a "political contribution". A political controversy later erupts when Duguid is investigated for arms trafficking, reminiscient of a real-life case where the chairman of the Toronto Police Services Board resigned over the controversy surrounding the gift of a pistol from Para Ordinance Inc.
SIG-Sauer P220 Sport
Sinclair Patterson (Barry Flatman) shows off a SIG P220 Sport when he meets Duguid (Colm Feore) and Stafford at the shooting range, calling it a "custom job". The pistol is later recovered from the apartment of Baby Dee (Dwain Murphy), linking him to the theft of Patterson's large gun collection.
Glock 19
In the first part of the miniseries, Conrod Shannon (Clé Bennett) pulls a Glock 19 from the glove compartment of Derek Wilmot's (K.C. Collins) car and inspects it. Detective Ford Saunders is also shown with a Glock 19 during the opening scene.
Beretta 92FS Inox
Conrod uses a Beretta 92FS Inox throughout the miniseries, with the exception of one scene where he carries a USP Compact instead. Inox pistols are also handled by other characters, including Duguid's business partner John Willison (Alan Van Sprang) and by Merriweather when he visits a gun show in Ohio.
Beretta 92FS Inox "Non-Gun"
Conrod's Beretta 92FS Inox becomes a "Non Gun" when he shoots a drug dealer in an apartment stairwell, likely because the close proximity between the actors makes a Non Gun safer to use.
Beretta 92FS
A standard Beretta 92FS is inspected by Ford when he poses as a buyer in an undercover operation. The 92FS is later seen among the assortment of weapons on sale at a gun show.
M1911 pistol
A M1911 pistol is used by Kirby (Shane Smith), who hides it in his girlfriend's backpack following a shooting at his school. When the pistol is later discovered during a search, it is linked back to the Jessica Farrell shooting and Kirby's brother Baby Dee. Various chromed and M1911 models are also seen among the weapons being sold at a gun show and seized following police raids.
SIG-Sauer P226
Baby Dee uses a SIG-Sauer P226 when he helps Conrod and Bobby Duguid (Gregory Smith) break into Sinclair Patterson's home. P226s are also among the weapons on sale at the Dayton gun show.
Smith & Wesson Model 36
Patterson attempts to draw a Smith & Wesson Model 36 from his gun safe when his home is robbed, but is shot by Bobby before he can fire.
Walther P99
A Walther P99 with a two tone finish is used by Bobby (Gregory Smith) to shoot Patterson when he attempts to fight back. The P99 is later planted on Bobby's accomplice T-Bear (Balford Gordon) by Conrod in order to conceal Bobby's involvement with the robbery.
Walther PPK
A stainless Walther PPK is among the weapons seized by the OPP after they stop Frances Dett's (Elisha Cuthbert's) car.
Heckler & Koch USP Compact
When Conrod visits Baby Dee's apartment, he racks the slide of a Heckler & Koch USP Compact with a two-tone finish.
Mauser C96
A customer at a gun show in Dayton, Ohio is shown inspecting a Mauser C96.
Smith & Wesson Model 19
A Smith & Wesson Model 19 is bought by a straw purchaser at the gun show.
Tokarev TT-33
A Tokarev TT-33 can be seen among the pistols that illegal arms dealer Boston (Daniel Kash) offers for sale.
Shotguns
Benelli M3 Super 90
A Benelli M3 Super 90 shotgun is among the weapons that the thieves take from Sinclair Patterson's gun safe.
Submachine Guns
MAC-10
While posing as a weapons buyer, Merriweather (Shawn Doyle) is offered a MAC-10 by Boston, who claims that it was a "semi-auto" converted to full automatic.
Collection of Submachine Guns
A number of submachine guns are shown for sale at the Dayton gun show, including an Uzi, a L2A3 Sterling, a Sa. Vz.61 Skorpion, and a MP5K.

American ATF agent Ines Mendoza (Athena Karkanis) recovers an MP40 when she searches Frances' car.
Heckler & Koch MP5A3
ETF officers are armed with Heckler & Koch MP5A3s with Surefire forends.
Thompson Submachine Gun
A Thompson Submachine Gun is seized along with other weapons after the police raid Paul Duguid's (Colm Feore) home.
Rifles
AK-47
When Merriweather (Shawn Doyle) asks for something "with a bit more kick" during the arms deal, Boston provides him with an AK-47 to examine. Straw purchasers are later shown buying AK-47s in Ohio.
AKS-47
Straw purchasers are shown buying an AKS-47 in Ohio. The stock has been removed, but it can still be identified as the AKS variant by the fact that the pivot point for the underfolding stock is still visible at the rear of the receiver.
Steyr AUG
A Steyr AUG can be seen in the collection of submachine guns that are being sold at the gun show.
Other
M60 Machine Gun
A M60 machine gun is seen in a shipping container of surplus weapons at a U.S Army base that Paul Duguid is ostensibly helping to transfer to the Honduras, but in reality is illegally selling to African rebels.
Browning M2 Aircraft
A Browning M2 Aircraft is mounted on a jeep that is on display at the gun show.
DefTech 37mm launcher
Paul Duguid (Colm Feore) inspects a DefTech 37mm launcher inside the shipping container.

GE M134 Minigun
Duguid (Colm Feore) also implausibly finds a hand-held GE M134 Minigun among the surplus weapons in the shipping container, briefly handling it.
