Handguns
Glock 17
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).
"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.
Smith & Wesson Model 29
A Smith & Wesson Model 29 with 4" barrel is used by Earl (Donal Logue) as he holds up a bank.
SIG-Sauer P230
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.
Beretta 92FS
A Beretta 92FS is used by Michael Korda (Michael Wincott) when he commandeers a cable car as well as in the standoff with Roper.
Non Gun Beretta
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.
Smith & Wesson Model 36
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.
Smith & Wesson 659
A Smith & Wesson 659 is hidden in a bag full of jewelry by Roper. It jams after 2 shots, so Scott tosses it away.
Submachine Guns
Heckler & Koch MP5A3
SFPD SWAT officers are seen armed with the Heckler & Koch MP5A3.
Rifles / Carbines
M16A1 (With A2 handguards)
SFPD SWAT officers are also armed with M16A1 rifles fitted with M16A2 handguards.
Remington 700PSS
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.
Remington 700 BDL
Other SWAT snipers are seen using the Remington 700 BDL rifle.
Shotguns
Mossberg 590
One SWAT officer is seen armed a Mossberg 590.
