The following weapons appeared in the 1995 update of the TV series The Outer Limits:
Glock 17
The Glock 17 was quite possibly the most commonly-seen gun in the show, used often by police officers and other characters.
Taurus PT92
The Taurus PT92 was used in many episodes, often as a Beretta 92F stand-in during the early seasons.
Desert Eagle Mark I
A Desert Eagle Mark I with a laser sight was used by the militia commander in Season 2, Episode 14, "The Heist." It also appears that Desert Eagles were sometimes sued to build futuristic pistols in various episodes that were set in the future.
MGC M16 replica
The show featured many MGC M16 replica assault rifles in the hands of military personnel, most with M16A1 flash hiders.
Diemaco C7/Olympic Arms K4B
Many of the firing M16 rifles on the show were Diemaco C7s, or, rather, the Olympic Arms K4B equivalent, which is used regularly by armorers in British Columbia.
Colt AR-15 A2
In Season 4, Episode 7, an Air Force security officer used an older-model Colt AR-15 A2 fitted with a free-floating hand guard, bipod, and scope, and loaded with an orange-painted magazine of "uranium-tipped" bullets. It is recognizable as an AR-15 A2 due to the "slab-side" lower receiver. There was also a good close-up of the lower receiver showing Colt markings.
Colt Model 933/Olympic Arms K3B
In Episode 4.18, "Monster", a special forces soldier was seen using what appears to be a Colt Model 933 with the carry handle removed and some type of scope installed. The weapon had a Phantom flash hider, so it is most likely an 11.5" Olympic Arms K3B (given Canadian armorers' apparent preference for OA rifles).
Franchi PA3/215
A Franchi PA3/215 was used by one of the special forces soldiers in Episode 4.18, "Monster".
Heckler & Koch MP5A3
There were many Heckler & Koch MP5A3 submachine guns used on the show, though the non-firing versions were mostly airsoft replicas. These weapons were also regularly used to build sci-fi weapons for episodes that took place in the future.
(Mock-up) Heckler & Koch MP5K
In several episodes, it was possible to see soldiers and other characters using machine pistols that appear to be Heckler & Koch MP5Ks, but appear to be angular and have incorrect dimensions. These guns were seen most notably in Season 2, Episode 14, "The Heist." These are mock-ups of the MP5K built on what appear to be Kimel AP-9 assault pistols; these guns also appeared in other movies and TV shows filmed in Vancouver, British Columbia during the 1990s, such as The X-Files and M.A.N.T.I.S..
