Almost Human is a 2013 science fiction television series executive-produced by J.J. Abrams. Set in 2048, the series follows LAPD detective John Kennex (Karl Urban), who has developed strong hatred for robots after losing his partner and being left for dead in an ambush by an LAPD combat android. Per the LAPD's requirements that all human officers are required to have a synthetic partner, Kennex is paired up with an older model android DRN, or Dorian (Michael Ealy), that is capable of human emotions and feelings.
The following weapons appear in the series Almost Human:
Reinhardt (Tim Kelleher) uses a dressed-up Taurus PT99 during the pilot episode (S01E01). This pistol is a modified "Timecop Beretta", and was previously the firing hero for David Hasselhoff's Nick Fury: Agent of SHIELD. (As the name suggests, the "Timecop Beretta" was originally built up for the 1994 sci-fi film Timecop.) The pistol has been modified slightly to have a more open-ended front than the ones seen in such previously Canadian-produced sci-fi series as Stargate: Atlantis and Sliders.
Starting in "Skin" (S01E02), LAPD detective John Kennex (Karl Urban) carries as his sidearm a Taurus PT92AF dressed up in a futuristic shell. Although it is similar to the "Timecop Beretta", it is a new design. Urban liked the look of Reinhardt's pistol and asked for something similar. A cavity was built into the shell to accommodate a laser module. (The base pistol does not have an accessory rail.) The original grip panels were rosewood; Urban requested something darker, so dark walnut was used.
LAPD Detective John Kennex (Karl Urban) and android Dorian (Michael Ealy), and Detective Richard Paul (Michael Irby) carry slightly customized Zoraki 925s fitted with laser sights as their sidearms in the series, altough Kennex switches to the modified Taurus PT92AF in "Skin" (S01E02). The Zoraki is the primary firearm for the LAPD in the series, and is used by several officers in the series. LAPD Captain Alexio Barros (Benito Martinez) uses a Zoraki 925 in "The Bends" (S01E04). Det. Kennex also uses Barros' Zoraki after a scuffle in the same episode.
Reinhardt (Tim Kelleher) and some of the InSyndicate thugs use a Glock 17 fitted into a carbine stock system during the pilot. On the surface it resembles a CAA Tactical RONI-G1 stock, however it is actually a modified APS Carbine stock which is a copy of the RON-G1 intended for Airsoft pistols. The weapon is also fitted with a small jar-like device on the forearm, and the weapon shoots plastic webs that can cover a person's face.
Several LAPD officers use the Beretta 92FS as their main sidearm in the season. A Beretta 92FS is also seen on stairs inside a bank in "Are You Receiving?" (S01E03). Leonard Li (BC Lee) aims a 92FS at a hospital nurse at the beginning of "Arrhythmia" (S01E06).
Lucas Vincent (Damon Herriman), the leader of the Holy Reclamation Army terrorists and his 2nd-in-command are armed with Walther P99ASs in "Are You Receiving?" (S1E03).
Gavin Maxwell, aka The Bishop uses a dressed up Smith & Wesson Model 610 in "The Bends" (S01E04). The revolver was originally made for the film Blade: Trinity, and has appeared in other Vancouver based productions, such as Smallville and Eureka.
LAPD MX combat androids and LAPD officers use FN P90 submachine guns fitted with extended threaded barrel suppressors, forward rail systems (RIS) with tactical laser-pointers and weapon lights, receiver top covers, and Magpul AFG grips throughout the series. The futuristic customizations seem to have been inspired by the Evike Terminator, a custom P90-based airsoft gun. LAPD Detective Richard Paul (Michael Irby) picks up and uses a P90 during a shootout in the pilot episode.
The P90s--real firing models with choked barrels to cycle blanks--were originally built up for Underworld: Awakening. The front section shells and grenade launchers were removed but the cosmetic covers over the magazines (marked "POLICE") remain, and other accessories were added.
The Holy Reclamation Army terrorist named Gregor (Max Boateng) is armed with a highly modified Calico M955A in "Are You Receiving?" (S01E03). The prop is actually the "M1-L1 Triple-Pulse Rifle" originally made for Deep Rising, although now it is fitted with an EOTech sight.
A picture of a satin nickel Kimel AP-9 is seen in an evidence photo in "Blood Brothers" (S01E05).

Assault Rifles & Carbines
Norinco QBZ-97B
Several InSyndicate terrorists use Norinco QBZ-97B assault rifles with picatinny railings on the carry handle during the pilot episode (S01E01).
Several Holy Reclamation Army terrorists are armed with IWI Tavor TAR-21s with flat tops on in "Are You Receiving?" (S01E03). Detective John Kennex (Karl Urban) also uses one near the end of the episode.
Detective John Kennex (Karl Urban) uses a generation 2 UTAS UTS-15 shotgun with a laser sight in the beginning of the pilot episode. Some LAPD MX combat androids and LAPD officers use the UTAS UTS-15 as well. The UTS-15 seems to be the primary shotgun for the LAPD in the series.
A LAPD SWAT sniper team is armed with a Springfield Armory M1A outfitted with a JAE-100 Stock as its main sniper rifle, which first appeared at the start of "Are You Receiving?" (S1E03).
