H&K MP5A5

The H&K MP5A5 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 Surefire dedicated forend weaponlights.

Although the one in the screenshot below is an MP5A5, most of the MP5s used by the SWAT officers in the film are the A3 variant, with both SEF- and Navy-style lower receivers. Look closely, for instance, at the MP5s when the officers' truck arrives at the scene and they're all being issued the weapons. All of those guns definitely have the SEF-style lowers.

Remington Spartan

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 60

After losing his Glock at the bar, Mosley returns to his home and retrieves a Smith & Wesson Model 60 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 J-frame with a 5 shot cylinder that fires .38 special ammo or .357 Magnum.

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 akimbo when he bursts into the room where the two are holed up.
