The Glock 17 is first used by San Francisco Police Inspector Scott Roper (Eddie Murphy) when he asks for one from a SWAT officer. Roper also carries the Glock as his sidearm throughout the film. Officer McCall (Michael Rapaport) pulls his Glock during the final standoff with Roper. All of the Glock 17s in the film are 1st Generation models, even though the 2nd Generation version would have been widely available when this movie was filmed. However, when Roper asks for a Glock from a SWAT officer, the officer hands him a rubber Glock 17 which was cast from a 2nd Generation model (detailed below).

The Glock 17 here is clearly a rubber cast stunt version - note that the magazine baseplate appears to have broken off. This is also a cast of a 2nd Generation Glock 17, whereas the live-fire Glocks in the film are all 1st Generation models.Error creating thumbnail: File missingThe SWAT officer hands his Glock to Roper.

"Non Gun" Glock
In addition to the blank-adapted Glock 17s, the movie also features use of the "Non Gun" Glock in some scenes, particularly scenes where the Glocks are fired close to actors or close to the camera.
A SIG-Sauer P230 is used by Michael Korda (Michael Wincott) during the jewelry store robbery to smash the glass cases open and to hold a female hostage.
In some scenes, particularly on the cable car, Korda's Beretta becomes a Non Gun Beretta 92FS. This is likely because it is fired in close proximity to actors in a confined space, where the noise would be difficult to manage even with ear plugs.
During the standoff with Korda at the end of the film, Roper is told to get rid of his backup weapon, which appears to be a nickel Smith & Wesson Model 36.
The Remington 700PSS by the SFPD SWAT snipers during the two hostage situations including Officer McCall (Michael Rapaport). McCall uses one fitted with a laser sight as Korda (Michael Wincott) tries to escape in a car.
