JAG was a military legal drama series that was broadcast on NBC in 1995 for its first season and then was picked up by CBS, where it ran for 9 more seasons. The show primarily dealt with US Navy and Marine lawyers in the Judge Advocate General Corps investigating and prosecuting cases involving military law. It starred David James Elliott as Commander Harmon Rabb, Jr., a nval aviator, who after being diagnosed with night blindness, became a lawyer in JAG. The executive producer of the show was Donald Bellisario, who created such popular action shows of the 1980s as Magnum, P.I. and Airwolf. In 2003, JAG introduced characters who later would appear in the spinoff show NCIS.
The following weapons were used in the television series JAG:
The Beretta 92FS (standing in the M9) is the standard issue sidearm for the US military and is used by Lieutenant Commander Harmon "Harm" Rabb, Jr. (David James Elliott), Lieutenant Colonel Sarah "Mac" Mackenzie (Catherine Bell) and Admiral A.J. Chegwidden (John M. Jackson) as well as various other US Military personnel.
An engraved Beretta 950 Jetfire is seen given to Adm. Chegwidden by his ex-wife Marcella (Barbara Carrera) in the Season 4's "Going After Francesca". It is later used by Francesca (Guiliana Santini) in the same episode.
A Colt M1911A1 is used by Jason Magida in the Season 2 episode "Secrets" when he holds the JAG staff hostage and Admiral Chegwidden in "Ghosts" to hold Osbourne at gun point. Also used by then Lieutenant Boone in "A Separate Peace" to shoot and kill An Le Tam.
The Browning Hi-Power is used by British Forces in Season 1's "Trinity". Another one is used in season 1 episode "Scimitar" by Iraq officer.

During World War II, the Germans would occupy the Belgian firearms factories and continued to produce this gun, still called the P-35, but with Waffenamt stamps. The Design would be adopted by other countries and manufactured abroad with the generic designation simply as the "Browning High Power".Error creating thumbnail: File missingOfficer with Browning (with a tangent sight)
A Smith & Wesson 5906 was the sidearm used by the local sheriff's deputies in Season 1's "Survivors". Former Marine corporal Jason Magida (Victor Love) holds a 5906 on Adm. Chegwidden in Season 2's "Secrets".
The Heckler & Koch MP5N (with the Navy trigger group) is used by SEALs, Marines, and other various tactical units in various episodes in the series, often fitted a Surefire tactical weaponlight.
The Heckler & Koch MP5K-PDW is seen used frequently over the series, most notably by Rabb to rescue Lieutenant Painter in the Season 1 episode "Defensive Action" and to prove his point by shooting a courtroom ceiling in the Season 2 episode "Heroes". These are MP5K-PDWs due to their 3 lug barrels and folded stock.
The SA Vz.61 Skorpion is seen being used by Russian Secret Service in Season 1's "Hemlock", and by members of The Shining Path in Season 1's "War Cries".
A militia leader is seen carrying a CAR-15 carbine when engaging Marines in Season 1's "Brig Break". A CAR-15 with a M203 grenade launcher is seen carried by a Navy SEAL in Season 1's "Black Ops".
Various styles of the M16 rifle series appeared in JAG during the show's long run. M16A1s with A2 hand guards were frequently used to simulate M16A2s. These guns make sense in JAG, because the military does use a lot of "Frankenstein" M16s. The Air Force being the worst offender, but they can be found in service with all branches.
Can also be seen in several episodes of Season 7 including "Code of Conduct" (being used by Navy SEALs), "Tribunal" (incorrectly shown being used by US Army Special Forces), and "In Country" (seen being carried by Harm, Mac, and Gunnery Sgt. Galindez (Randy Vasquez).
Error creating thumbnail: File missingM16A1 with A2 style handguards - 5.56x45mm. Putting the distinctive A2 handguards on the older rifle was a method used by Movie/TV armorers to simulate A2 rifles when M16A1s were the only ones available. The same thing has been done vice-versa, Using M16A2's with A1 handguards for Vietnam War B Movies.Error creating thumbnail: File missingMarine with M16A1 w/ A2 handguards. Note that this image is quite obviously reversed.Error creating thumbnail: File missingGunnery Sgt. Galindez (Randy Vasquez) is seen with an M16A2 while in Afghanistan in the Season 7 episode "In Country".
Kalashnikov and Norinco Rifles have been seen during the show's ten seasons. In the episodes set in Russia, Chechnya, Cuba, Iraq, China, etc, as well as flashbacks to the Korean War, Vietnam, and the Cold War, many varieties of Kalashnikov rifles have been seen, as well as the Chinese manufactured Norinco rifles. Unlike most movies and television shows JAG was usually pretty accurate about having the right rifle type for the locations.
