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 naval aviator, who after being diagnosed with night blindness, became a lawyer in the JAG Corps. 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:
While the Beretta M9 is the standard issue sidearm for US military in reality, the Beretta 92FS is the weapon seen used in the series by the US military personnel. The handgun is used by Commander Harmon "Harm" Rabb, Jr. (David James Elliott), Lieutenant (junior grade) Meg Austin (Tracey Needham), Lieutenant Colonel Sarah "Mac" Mackenzie (Catherine Bell) and Rear Admiral A.J. Chegwidden (John M. Jackson), Lieutenant Gregory Vukovic (Chris Beetem) as well as other military personnel.
An engraved nickel Beretta 950 Jetfire is seen given to RADM Chegwidden by his ex-wife Marcella (Barbara Carrera) in Season 4's "Going After Francesca" (S4E04). It is later used by the admiral's daughter Francesca (Guiliana Santini) in the same episode.
A Colt M1911A1 is seen taken out from a case by RADM A.J. Chegwidden (John M. Jackson) in Season 2's "Ghosts". Also seen used by Lieutenant Boone in a Vietnam flashback in Season 4's "A Separate Peace".
A Browning Hi-Power is pulled by an Iraqi officer in Season 1's "Scimitar" (S1E09). Another Browning Hi-Power is used by British Forces in Season 2's "Trinity" (S2E06).
NCIS Special Agents Leroy Jethro Gibbs (Mark Harmon), Anthony DiNozzo (Michael Weatherly) and Vivian Blackadder (Robyn Lively) all carry the SIG-Sauer P228 as their sidearm in Season 8's "Ice Queen" and "Meltdown".
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 RADM Chegwidden in Season 2's "Secrets".

Also note the straight backstrap to the pistol grip versus the curved backstrap on the older model.Error creating thumbnail: File missingFormer Marine corporal Jason Magida (Victor Love) holds a 4506 on RADM Chegwidden in Season 2's "Secrets".
Ruger KP90
An assassin opens fire on Rabb's apartment with a stainless and suppressed Ruger KP90 in Season 1's "Deja Vu". Former Navy SEAL Paul Bauwer (Bruce Weitz) holds a Ruger that he took off a robbery suspect in Season 2's "The Guardian".
Sonsiri (Michael Paul Chan), the ambassador of Thailand, is seen with a Walther PPK/S in Season 1's "Déjà Vu" (S1E05). Another PPK/S is pulled by Alice Tuppany (Marjorie Monaghan) in Season 3's "Against All Enemies". In Season 4's "Embassy" (S2E02), Ambassador Moshak (Vincent Riotta) pulls a Walther PPK/S and holds Mac hostage with it.
In Season 1's "Sightings" (S1E11), a Remington 870 Field shotgun with a sawed-0ff barrel and pistol grip is seen in the hands of J.D. Gold (Wings Hauser) and later is used by Rabb.
In Season 2's "A Game of Go" (S2E10), Rabb takes a Remington 870 (which appears to be in the USMC configuration) from a cartel guard and holds it on the drug lord.
Chegwidden and Harm are seen using Mossberg 590 shotguns in Season 4's "Going After Francesca" (S4E04). While it's mentioned that the shotguns have speedfeed stocks, these shotguns appear to not have them.
In Season 3's "With Intent to Die", Craig Allenby (Royce Applegate) is seen threatening Chegwidden with a 12 Gauge Double Barreled Shotgun. Rabb is then seen trying to wrestle the gun away.
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's "Defensive Action" (S1E13) and to prove his point by shooting a courtroom ceiling in Season 2's "Heroes" (S2E04). These are MP5K-PDWs due to the 3 lug barrels and folded stock.
The MAC-11 is a frequent submachine gun seen in the series. Rabb and several bodyguards were armed with MAC-11s in Season 1's "War Cries" (S1E07). In Season 2's "Code Blue" (S2E13), HAMAS terrorists including Mustapha Ben Kessar (Francesco Quinn) are armed with MAC-11's as they take over a hospital. Harm is later seen with the weapon.
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 XM177E2-style carbine when engaging Marines in Season 1's "Brig Break". Another XM177 with a M203 grenade launcher is seen carried by SEAL Chief Petty Officer Shipp (Bobby Hosea) in Season 1's "Black Ops".
The M4 Carbine is seen being used by Marines notably in Season 9's "The Boast" and Season 10's "Death at the Mosque", with and without various attachments.
A number of characters were seen carrying MGC M16 Replica rifles for scenes where they didn't carry the blank-firing M16 rifles.

M16A1
M16A1's are frequently seen in the flashbacks to Vietnam, such as in the episode "Survivors".
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 Sergeant Galindez (Randy Vasquez).

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.

AK Variants
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.
Gunnery Sergeant Crockett (Stephen McHattie) takes aim with an Remington 700PSS (used as a substitute for the M40) in Season 1's "High Ground". Several SWAT snipers are seen armed with the rifle throughout the series.
In Season 1's "War Cries", a Humvee-mounted Browning M2 50 cal is fired by Gunnery Sergeant Granger (John Wesley Shipp). The M2HB is seen mounted on Marine M1A1 Abrams tanks in Season 3's "Father's Day" (S3E14). The M2 is also mounted on Marine humvees in Iraq, notably in Season 10's "Death at the Mosque".
In Season 3's "Yesterday's Heroes" (S3E15), surplus store owner Jungle Larry (Dennis Burkley) opens fire on some trespassers with his handheld M134 Minigun.
A FIM-92A Stinger was stolen and used in Season 1's "Brig Break". In Season 9's "A Tangled Webb, Part 2", terrorists use a Stinger to shoot down a biplane piloted by Rabb.
