The following weapons can be seen in Season 5 of the television series Criminal Minds:
Handguns
Glock 17
Third-Generation Glock 17 pistols are carried by Supervisory Special Agent Derek Morgan (Shemar Moore) and B.A.U. (Behavior Analysis Unit) Chief SSA Aaron Hotchner (Thomas Gibson). Morgan carries his Glock 17 with a Streamlight TLR-2 weaponlight/laser module. Other FBI agents and some police officers are seen with Glock 17 pistols. Member's of Sam Cooper's team also carry Glock 17 pistols.
Glock 19
SSA Emily Prentiss (Paget Brewster) uses a Third-Generation Glock 19 as her sidearm. Also carried by various police officers.
Glock 26
A Glock 26 pistol is the duty weapon of the B.A.U.'s 'Communications Liaison' SSA Jennifer 'J.J.' Jareau (A.J. Cook). The Glock 26 is also the backup weapon carried by both Aaron Hotchner (Thomas Gibson) and Derek Morgan (Shemar Moore), both carried in ankle holsters.
Springfield Armory TRP
SSA David Rossi (Joe Mantegna) carries a Springfield Armory TRP, a model of which is used by the FBI's elite HRT, throughout the series, this suggests he may have been HRT/SWAT trained to use this weapon. Rossi also has a background of serving in the U.S. Marine Corps, which also possibly helps explain his use of a 1911-type pistol.
Smith & Wesson Model 10
Patrick Meyers (Michael Adler) uses a .38 Smith & Wesson Model 10 revolver as his weapon of choice in the Season 5 episode "Faceless, Nameless".
Smith & Wesson Model 65
Special Agent Dr. Spencer Reid (Matthew Gray Gubler) carries as his main weapon a 3" barrel Smith & Wesson Model 65 with wood-colored grips. He carries his sidearm in a very frontal appendix-carry (as he also did with his previous Glock 17), a manner in-which a militia leader once said "The way you wear that gun - you're just asking someone to take it off of you boy." In addition, he carries the double action revolver in a holster that does not cover the trigger guard, something that is not generally advisable. Reid notably uses it in Season 5 opening episode "Nameless, Faceless" to shoot Patrick Meyers (Michael Adler) when he raises his gun back up (after having previously lowered it).
Smith & Wesson Model 36
Standard J-frame Smith & Wesson Model 36 revolvers are used by numerous unsubs (short for 'unknown-subjects') throughout the show. A Deputy Sheriff in Terlingua, Texas uses a Model 36 in the Season 5 episode "Rite of Passage".
Smith & Wesson Model 629 V-Comp
Identified as a .44 Magnum, a Smith & Wesson Model 629 V-Comp is used as the weapon of choice for George Foyet aka 'The Boston Reaper' (C. Thomas Howell), an infamous serial killer and the nemesis of Agent Hotchner (Thomas Gibson).
Beretta 92FS
Beretta 92FS pistols are used by many characters, including criminals and police officers
M1911A1
Various M1911A1 pistols are seen several times throughout the series. In the Season 5 episode "100", George Foyet/'The Reaper' (C. Thomas Howell) uses an M1911A1 to shoot U.S. Marshal Sam Kassmeyer (D.B. Sweeney) several times when interrogating him on the location of Hotchner's wife & child, as well as fatally shooting Hotchner's wife when he finally finds them. He also fires it several times at Hotchner while fighting with him, but misses him.
Rifles
AR-15/M4 Carbine Variants
Throughout the series, FBI SWAT and several local police tactical units carry M4A1 carbines, both standard models and variants with various accessories.
Submachine Guns
Heckler & Koch MP5A3
Derek Morgan (Shemar Moore) and David Rossi (Joe Mantegna) use Heckler & Koch MP5A3s with dedicated SureFire lights in Season 5's "Rite of Passage" (S5E19). They deploy them because the region of Texas they are traveling to is close to the Mexico-U.S. border, and since there is a high possibility of armed attack (because drug and alien-immigration cartels directly target and place bounties on U.S. law enforcement agents, especially Federal agents), they may need the additional firepower.
Sniper Rifles
SVD Dragunov
In Season 5's "The Fight" (S5E18), FBI SSA Mick Rawson (Matt Ryan) takes aim with a SVD Dragunov sniper rifle fitted with a scope and bipod. The rifle is an unusual choice for an American federal agent (however, it's mentioned that Rawson is former British SAS).
