Numb3rs (2005-2010)
Numb3rs was a crime procedural series that aired for six seasons on CBS from 2005-2010. The series starred Rob Morrow as FBI Special Agent Don Eppes, the head of an FBI crime unit in Los Angeles, who is assisted in solving cases by his genius brother, who sees clues hidden in the mathematical models he creates of the crime. Two of the executive producers of the series were Ridley Scott and Tony Scott.
The following weapons were used in the series Numb3rs:
The Glock 19 is the sidearm carried by various FBI Agents in the series. Special Agent Don Eppes (Rob Morrow) has a Glock 19 holstered in the series finale "Cause and Effect" (S6E16), where it is stolen and used in a series of vigilante murders. A Glock 19 also is seen in "The Mole" (S3E04).
Ella Pierce (Ari Graynor) opens fire on the agents with a Glock 17 converted to full auto in "Tabu" (S4E08). There is also a brief glance on the Glock's slide, which doesn't appear to have a selector switch.
FBI Special Agent Don Eppes (Rob Morrow) and FBI Special Agent David Sinclair (Alimi Ballard) both carry Glock 23's as their sidearms. If you look carefully in the episodes the slide is too short and so is the frame. Also in Season 4 episode 4 during the standoff in the elevator it is clearly marked as a Glock 23. Of note is the fact that Don always carries his Glock 23 in a chest holster attached to his bullet-resistant vest when going on raids. This is likely because it is easier to reach than his usual belt holster when wearing the vest.
The Glock 27 .40 S&W caliber pistol appears to be the service weapon carried by FBI Special Agent Nikki Betancourt (Sophina Brown) and former Agent Megan Reeves (Diane Farr). Damian Lake uses one in S05E15.
The Beretta 92FS appears in the series for the most part as the service pistol for members of the Los Angeles Police Department. Several criminals are seen armed with the handgun in the series as well.
A stainless steel Beretta 92FS Compact is used by drug smuggler Victor Morelos (Gonzalo Menendez) in Season 3's "Pandora's Box" (S03E19) to threaten an informant.
In "Spree" (S3E01), an M1911A1 is used by Crystal Hoyle (Kim Dickens). In "Graphic" (S4E09), a Colt M1911A1 is seen being pulled by a suspect on Eppes.
A stainless steel Desert Eagle is used by Kilo in Season 4's "Pay to Play" (S04E17). Buck Winters picks up what is described as a 50 caliber Desert Eagle in "Arrow of Time" (S05E11).
Special Agent Rachel Willons (Teri Polo) of the California Bureau of Investigation is armed with a two-tone Heckler & Koch USP in Season 3's "Nine Wives" (S03E12).
One of the shooters in "Dark Matter" (S02E19) uses what appears to be a Heckler & Koch USP. Colby Granger and Dwayne Carter appears to be using USP pistols in the Season 4 premiere "Trust Metric".
FBI Special Agent Colby Granger's initial service weapon is a SIG-Sauer P226 before changing to the Springfield Armory Custom TRP and then finally to the Smith & Wesson PC 945.
Special Agent Ian Edgerton (Lou Diamond Phillips) carries a SIG-Sauer P228 as his service pistol and is seen pulling it in Season 2's "Toxin" (S02E09). BATF Special Agent Nikki Davis (Sandra Lindquist) carries a P228 in "Guns and Roses" (S02E20). There are two tone versions used in season 4 (episodes 2 and 10).
FBI Special Agent Colby Granger switches to a Smith & Wesson PC 945 with a two-tone slide. Agent Granger switched to this pistol in "Trouble in Chinatown" (S05E13) and in a shootout while waiting on his takeout food with Agent Sinclair. Possibly a personal sidearm. Special Agent Ian Edgerton uses it in "Ultimatum" (S06E08).
FBI Special Agent Colby Granger's main service pistol is a .45 ACP Springfield Armory Tactical Response Pistol, which indicates he is SWAT/HRT (Hostage Rescue Team) qualified, since only SWAT/HRT qualified FBI agents are authorized to carry that weapon on duty.
A Ruger Vaquero with adjustable sights is used by disgruntled rancher Bob McHugh (Connor Trinneer) in Season 2's "Toxin" (S02E09). Analyzing the other frames of the current and proceeding scene, the weapon has a nickel or similar finish with wood grips. This also appears to be the revolver carried by Abner Stone (W. Earl Brown) in "Nine Wives" (S3E12).
A revolver loaded with blanks is used by John Buckley in "Jacked" (S05E12).
Submachine Guns
FN P90
Several FN P90's appear being used by Chinese thugs in "Trouble in Chinatown" (S5E13), a Mexican death squad in "Take Out" (S3E14), and bank robbers in "Friendly Fire" (S6E02).
Several Heckler & Koch MP5A2's, fitted with Surefire dedicated forend weaponlights, appear being used by several FBI Special Agents in tactical gear before the switch to the MP5A3 w/RIS described below. In Season 2's "In Plain Sight" (S02E08), an agent can be seen carrying an MP5A2 with mag inserted in the wrong direction! - how did they even manage to clip it in?
Several Heckler & Koch MP5A3's appear being used by several FBI Special Agents in tactical gear and private security guards. In "Friendly Fire" (S6E02), the Agents' MP5A3's are fitted with RIS handguards mounting vertical foregrips & Surefire Universal weaponlights. David can be seen using one that also features a UMP-style folding stock.
The MAC-10 is seen used by suspects in several episodes. A MAC-10 is found in Warren Wells' computer store in "Assassin" (S02E05). The MAC-10 also is used by school shooters in "Dark Matter" (S02E19) and domestic terrorists in "Tabu" (S04E08).
A Steyr SPP is used by counterfeiters/armed robbers in "Counterfeit Reality" (S01E07) and a Chinese thug in "Trouble in Chinatown" (S05E13). It is modified to fire full-automatic in lieu of using the Steyr TMP. As a trivia note: no Steyr SPP was ever factory made in full auto configuration. It was strictly a civilian market semiautomatic pistol. Various SPP pistols have been converted (after the fact) to full auto fire for movie armories and law enforcement samples.
One of the members of the robbery crew known as the Charm School Boys uses the Serbu Super Shorty shotgun in Season 1's "Uncertainty Principle" (S01E02).
An FBI SWAT agent on the left holds what appears to be a Colt Commando-type rifle in "Uncertainty Principle" (S1E02). Upon closer inspection, the rifle appears to be an MGC CAR-15 replica.
Error creating thumbnail: File missingThe MGC CAR-15 Assault rifle: Model Gun Corporation's XM177 offering. Interesting enough, MGC called their replica rifle the CAR-15 which was Colt's name for the civilian (non-military designation) rifle, rather than any of the names give by the U.S. Military. This replica rifle was built on the same MGC M16 receiver, however the buttstock was pot metal, not plastic and it did not telescope. Instead the makers of the gun split the difference and locked the non-adjustable stock into the 'half extended/half closed' position. This feature did not enamor replica gun collectors to the weapon and it did not sell well.Error creating thumbnail: File missingThe FBI SWAT agent on the left holds a MGC CAR-15 replica in "Uncertainty Principle" (S1E02).
Colt M4A1
The M4A1 carbine is used by FBI/FBI SWAT agents in tactical situations, fitted with various accessories such as RIS foregrips, Surefire Universal weaponlights, and C-More & EOTech red dot sights.
A Knight's Armament SR-25 is used by a kidnapper to provide sniper fire against the FBI in Season 3's "One Hour" (S3E17).

Heckler & Koch G36C
A Heckler & Koch G36C fitted with a RIS foregrip is used by an Asian gang member during the rescue of Colby Granger and Dwayne Carter in "Trust Metric" (S04E01). Also used by diamond theives in "High Exposure" (S05E01) and a bus hijacker in "Jacked" (S05E12). Also seen used in "Hangman" (S06E01
In "Arm in Arms" (S6E12), the team deals with a very dangerous rifle designated as a "BNT-35". The weapon is a high caliber rifle with its rounds able to pass straight through cars. The rifle appears to have been built from four different airsoft rifles, an SL8, a SCAR, an XM8, and an FAL. It has the H&K SL8's stock/pistol grip, the SCAR's upper receiver and barrel, which has been cut about half way between the charging handle and front sight, with the front section moved forward and down, the XM8's front handguard, the FAL's 20-round magazine, and various custom modifications to put it all together.
A Springfield Armory M1A with black furniture and scope is used by the sniper in "Hangman" (S6E01) to shoot at the FBI agents in the park. While under fire, Agent Granger (Dylan Bruno) erroneously refers to the rifle as an "M1A1" (which is either the battlefield version of the Thompson M1 or the Paratrooper version of the M1 Carbine).
In "Sniper Zero" (S1E09), Charlie Eppes (David Krumholtz) is seen firing a Remington 700 fitted on an AICS in order to learn the human response after firing a sniper rifle.
A Remington 700 bolt action fitted in a Choate Ultimate Sniper Stock is viewed in the hands of Ian Edgerton (Lou Diamond Phillips) in "Sniper Zero" (S1E09).
A Type 69 launcher is first used by a Charm School Boy member in Season 1's "Uncertainty Principle" (S1E02). The Type 69 launcher also is used by gangsters in order to free a prisoner in Season 4's "Trust Metric" (S4E01).
