Dark Angel was a science-fiction series that was co-created by James Cameron and starred Jessica Alba (in her first leading role) as a genetically-enhanced super soldier who escapes as a young girl from a secret government facility and works in the underground resistance to take down the government agency that created her. The series ran for two seasons on the FOX network and co-starred Michael Weatherly.
The following weapons were used in the television series Dark Angel
Zack carries a Beretta 93R fitted with a suppressor when he and Max go to rescue Tinga in "Meow" (S1E19). This is actually a Beretta 92FS converted to full-automatic and fitted with a 93R flash hider and grip (this exact same gun has been used in numerous productions filmed in British Columbia).
In "Some Assembly Required" (S2E7), Cyborg Zack carries a Taurus PT92CS fitted with a custom-built compensator. This is the exact same gun that was originally carried by Mark Dacascos in the movie Crying Freeman (both productions had the same armorers).
Logan Kale (Michael Weatherly) offers Max a Vektor CP1 early in Season 1, but she refuses. He later carries the Vektor as his main sidearm throughout the run of the show.
Various thugs and some police officers are seen with Glock 17 pistols. Logan's team appear to be armed with Glocks when they are ambushed in the pilot, though the police hoverdrone footage never shows the weapon clearly.
The prison warden carries a Ruger P89 in "Flushed" (S1E3). Original Cindy takes it during the escape until the warden gets it back. Thugs in later episodes also use the P89, including the stainless KP89 model. Asha (Ashley Scott), head of the S1W resistance movement, carries the KP89 in Season 2.
Bronc carries a Smith & Wesson 5906 in "Out" (S1E10). Due to a continuity error, his weapon becomes a similar Smith & Wesson 5946 in several scenes (the 5946 is the DA-only version of the 5906).
Dr. Adriana Vertes, an ex-Manticore doctor helping Logan, pulls a nickel Jericho 941 on Max in "Female Trouble" (S1E15). Max disarms her in seconds and disassembles the weapon. In "Pollo Loco" (S1E18), X-5 serial killer Ben (Jensen Ackles) gives the nickel Jericho 941 to Father Destry, a would-be victim, before contemptuously disarming him.
A Walther PPK/S pistol is used by Logan Kale (Michael Weatherly) in "Art Attack" (S1E12). After a gangster defenestrates a victim, Logan shoots the body and then plants the weapon on the gangster as he tries to leave the country.
Lydecker's men carried FN P90s fitted with laser sights and flashlights during a raid in the pilot. Jace, an X5 who stayed with Manticore, uses a suppressed model in the Season 1 episode "Female Trouble". In "Bag 'Em" (S2E2) Manticore forces carry the P90, Alec and the X6s stealing a couple when they rescue Max. The P90 is the main weapon of Manticore forces in Season 2, replacing the MP5A3.
Lydecker's men and a few thugs use the Heckler & Koch MP5A3s. It is the standard Manticore weapon is Season 1 and police officers carry it in both seasons.
One of Lydecker's men is seen with an MP5K in the pilot episode, as are a couple of gunmen. Col. Lydecker is briefly seen in the woods with an Heckler & Koch MP5K in the Season 1 finale "...And Jesus Brought a Casserole". Due to the darkness, it is difficult to determine which version it is.
Cyborg Zack takes a Calico M960A Submachine Gun with a 100-round magazine and scope from a Steelhead when he goes to rescue Max and uses it in his attempted hit on Logan
Krit is seen with an Iver Johnson Enforcer Pistol when the X5s are loading up early in "…And Jesus Brought a Casserole" (S1E22). He never fires it and doesn't bring it on the Manticore raid, noting that the the weapon "packs a punch, but I only have 40 rounds".
Military and occasionally the police carried M16A2s. There are no real M16A2s on the show, however; all of those seen in non-firing scenes were Tokyo Marui airsoft replicas. The firing M16s on the show were mostly Colt Model 715s.
Whenever M16s were fired on the show, they were always Colt Model 715s or the Olympic Arms K4B equivalent. These are distinguished from the airsoft M16A2s used in non-firing scenes by the A1-style rear sight.
Police and some soldiers carry the Colt Model 609 as their main weapon. Police units carry 609s fitted with some sort of camera unit or dot-sight with a power cord leading to a backpack, while the Rangers carry stock 609s. Zack carries a Colt Model 609 carbine in the Season 1 episode " Hit a Sista Back". He later uses the weapon, along with Syl (Nicki Aycox) and Krit during the raid on Manticore in the Season 1 finale "And Jesus Brought a Casserole". X7 child soldiers carry the Model 609 as well, as do some young X5s in a flashback. At least in season 2, and probably in season 1 they appear to be mostly airsoft replicas (Probably Tokyo Maru like with the M16A2s), since they are seldom fired and are being used by minors.
Syl (Nicki Aycox) is seen loading up a Rocky Mountain Arms Patriot Pistol fitted with an M4 stock and carry handle in the Season 1 finale, '...And Jesus Brought a Casserole". This is one of the exact same weapons later used in 3000 Miles to Graceland (both productions had the same armorers).
A guard in the first episode is seen with an G3A3 fitted with a night-vision scope during the Manticore escape. An assassin in the same episode uses a scoped G3 with a rifle grenade.
A convenience store cashier tries to pull a sawed-off Ithaca 37 when X6s raid his store for food in "Bag 'Em" (S2E2). Predictably, the X6s take the weapon and it is carried by Bullet for the rest of the episode.
Error creating thumbnail: File missingThe scrap yard owner holds his shotgun as he investigates the disturbance. Why do I think this isn't going to end well...
A pair of what appear to be M1919s are seen mounted in an armoured car in "Prodigy" (S1E7)
Error creating thumbnail: File missingA variant of the Browning M1919 developed during World War 2, this model is designated the M37, with the ability to feed from either the left or the right of the weapon - 30-06. This example is shown without a tripod, only the pintle mount. This the MOST likely .30 cal machine gun to be seen firing from armored vehicles.Error creating thumbnail: File missingAn armoured can with a pair of M1919 machine guns moves up in "Prodigy" (S1E7).
Grenades and launchers
M18 smoke grenade
Max (Jessica Alba) uses an M18 smoke grenade as a distraction just before the apartment shootout in "Hit a Sista Back" (S1E20). It gives off white smoke.
A Red Series soldier is seen with a grenade on his web gear in the Season 1 Episode "Rising". Max later pulls the pin to kill him. Despite resembling a smoke grenade, the show treats it as an HE-frag grenade
A custom version of the GP-25 grenade launcher is used by Cyril, a Manticore biochemist, to fire bio-agent rounds in "Radar Love" (S2E4). The weapons is customized with a stainless-steel tubular stock and a top-mounted rail.
