The following guns were used in the movie S.W.A.T.:
AKM
One of the first guns seen in the film, the AKM appears in the hands of bank robbers in the opening scenes of the film which is based off the infamous North Hollywood Bank shootout where a pair of AK-toting bank robbers dressed in heavy body armor wreaked havoc on the undergunned Los Angeles Police Department. Several AK's also appear being used by gang members who ambush a police convoy in an attempt to liberate the main villain of the film. Two of the AK's used by the robbers have high-capacity drum magazines instead of the standard 30-round magazine.
Beretta 92
The film features Beretta M92FS pistols as the standard-issue sidearms of L.A.P.D. patrolmen, which in the opening scenes are totally outclassed by the assault rifles and heavy body armor wielded by the bank robbers, prompting the mobilization of the S.W.A.T. team. One of the main villain's cronies is also seen using one fitted with a silencer when attempting to liberate him from a Sheriff's Department inmate transport bus.
Remington 870
During the bank robbery scene, several L.A.P.D. patrolmen can be seen trying in vain to take down the robbers with Remington 870 shotguns which, like their Beretta pistols, are no match for the rifles and heavy body armor of the robbers.
M4A1 carbine
One of the primary weapons of the L.A. Police S.W.A.T. team in the film, the SWAT team as well as Brian Gamble (Jeremy Renner) and his men use M4A1 carbines fitted with ACOG Compact scopes on the carry handles and Surefire M500AB tactical flashlights in the foregrips.
Heckler & Koch MP5A2
Another weapon in the S.W.A.T. team's arsenal, the MP5A2's wielded by the team are equipped with Surefire dedicated forend weaponlights.
Kimber SWAT Custom II
Another weapon commonly used by the S.W.A.T. team is a variant of the M1911A1 pistol known as the Kimber SWAT Custom II made by Kimber Manufacturing, Inc. Like all the other weapons used by S.W.A.T., it too has a weaponlight (a Surefire 310R, which can be distinguished from the 610R by the minimal protrusion past the muzzle). The most notable scene involving this weapon is when Officer T.J. McCabe (Josh Charles) uses one to commit suicide rather than be arrested by the team he had betrayed.
Benelli M3 Super 90
Yet another of S.W.A.T.'s weapons in the film is the Benelli M3 Super 90 shotgun. In addition to a flashlight-mounting foregrip and pistol-grip stock, it is also tricked out with extra shotshell holders on the right side of the stock and left side of the reciever for a total of 12 extra rounds. During the bank robbery scene at the beginning of the film, one of these shotguns is fitted with a special muzzle brake and used as a breeching weapon to blow the lock off an air conditioning vent cover in order to gain access to the inside of the bank via the roof.
M1911A1
During the final shootout on the 6th Street bridge, Alex Montel (Oliver Martinez) can be seen brandishing a silver-plated M1911A1 pistol, shouting in vain for his would-be liberators to "Give [him] more ammo". One of Gamble's men also threatens the driver of a subway train with one.
M72 LAW
During the gang ambush of the L.A.P.D. convoy, two of the gang members can be seen picking up and then firing M72 LAW rocket launchers at the vehicles, destroying them in spectacular explosions.
M18 smoke grenade
In the scene where the L.A.P.D. convoy is ambushed, several gang members toss M18 smoke grenades into the street to cover their operation. Gamble also tosses one behind him in the sewers in an attempt to delay the S.W.A.T. team chasing his group.
M18A1 Claymore
An M18A1 Claymore mine appears in the film when Gamble plants one in the sewers while him and his men are being pursued by the S.W.A.T. team. Thankfully, the team discovers the mine before it can cause any harm, later using it to blast open a locked gate at the end of the sewers.
McMillan TAC-50 Sniper Rifle
At one point in the film, an L.A.P.D. helicopter arrives to transport Alex Montel to the federal prison, but is shot out of the sky by one shot to each of the chopper's two engines from a McMillan TAC-50 sniper rifle fitted with a suppressor and extra ammo sleeves being wielded by Gamble from a van in a parking garage several hundred yards away.
MP5K
At the start of the convoy ambush scene, a gang member posing as a hobo starts the ambush by whipping out an MP5K and letting loose, mowing down a motorcycle cop and riddling the vehicles in the convoy with bullets.
TEC-DC9
An Intratec TEC-DC9 appears in the scene where Alex Montel's cronies try to bust him out of the Sheriff's Office inmate transport bus while posing as L.A.P.D. officers, one of the cronies reaching into a police car and pulling one out, opening up on the S.W.A.T. members that had just shown up on the scene.
Remington 700
Several S.W.A.T. snipers are seen using Remington 700 Sniper Rifles fitted with folding bipods during the film. First during the bank robbery scene where one sniper takes out one of the robbers trying to start the getaway car, and again trying to locate the source of the shots that took out the police chopper. The team is also seen practicing with them during their training, shooting playing cards at long range in a bizarre game of poker, these rifles featuring a camouflage paint scheme as shown below. The Rifle shown below is the USMC made M40A1 Sniper rifle. It is hand built by the USMC.
