Actually, It's a Taurus model 941 .22. It is not supposed to be a 9mm. It is a caseless ammo weapon. The "chunk of fiberglass" is not the magazine of ammo - it's the charge pack for the magazine (which is on the very back of what would be the slide) and is not fiberglass. It's machined aluminum. The gun shell is also 9 pcs. in total. The main body is made up of four. The page referenced above is of a hero used shell that was purchased after the movie. The country that person lives in has strict gun laws and they chose to use an airsoft gun (S&W J-Frame) instead. That IS NOT the gun actually used nor is the Model 85. The shells were made of aluminum and the aluminum kept cracking from the pressure of the .22. So clearly, NOT a .38. The gun was also NOT molded from a P99. | Actually, It's a Taurus model 941 .22.

Detective Spooner's Pistols (A dressed up Taurus Model 85)
- Spooner (Will Smith) carries a futuristic custom pistol that is supposed to be a Semiautomatic 9mm. It is built from a 2 part plastic shell (with parts molded from a Walther P99) that has a real Taurus Model 85 .38 special revolver hidden inside. Lt. Bergin (Chi McBride) and all the other police officers appear to also have the sidearm. It is seen in the film next to loaded 9mm magazines, and is holstered with like magazines in adjoining mag pouches, but the real firearm inside the mockup is a .38 special revolver.

Actually, the hero gun has a removeable maagzine of caseless ammo. It's the chunk of fiberglass forward of the trigger guard. It is not supposed to be a 9mm.

- Note: the same technique (enclosing a Taurus Model 85 in a plastic shell) to make a futuristic gun was used on the Television show Firefly. Malcolm Reynold's hero gun was also a modified Taurus Model 85. Also it was seen on the show Stargate: SG1 in Season 9, Episode 4: The Ties That Bind, where Vala Mal Doran uses it to threaten a former business partner.
Detective Spooner also carries a back-up piece on his ankle that is a dressed up/clamshelled walther PPK. He uses this when the robot takes his main pistol, and jumps through the window.

Unknown Futuristic Rifle
The Military teams carry an unusual rifle that looks like part paintball gun and part carbine.
Franchi SPAS-12
- One of these combination Pump and Semi-automatic shotguns is picked up and used by Lieutenant Bergin (Chi McBride) when the USR robots storm the police station, using it to take down several attackers before being disarmed. His SPAS is heavily modified with a futuristic looking top heat shield and an extended front end.
FN P90
- The SWAT Team in the interrogation room all carry FN P90s with Aimpoint sights and a suppressor attached.
Heckler & Koch MP5K
- The SWAT team when Sonny is apprehended is carrying a variety of weapons. We see the same futuristic Shotgun that Lt. Bergin has, as well as the Spooner/Police Pistol. One of the obvious weapons is the Heckler & Koch MP5K with Aimpoint sight.
Unknown Futuristic Pistol
- In this shot, the SWAT team member firing behind the officer with the MP5K is firing some sort of heavily modified pistol. It looks like a Taurus PT92/99 type but I am not sure.
-Definitely a Dressed up 92FS, Like the previous user said, slide-mounted safety, and I can't see a folding grip [Not that it wouldn't be removed to make it look more futuristic].
Ruger MP9
- In this shot we see two Ruger MP9s, three Heckler & Koch MP5Ks, one of the Futuristic shotgun used by everyone, and another one of the hither to unknown Futuristic Pistol.
Sites Spectre M4 "Modified"
- Carried by Spooner and used by Susan Calvin, it is a Sites Spectre M4 (chambered in 9mm) enclosed in a custom plastic shell to mask it's true identity. In one of the closeup screenshots we can see the rear sight, selector switch and safety. In the movie, the trigger guard is removed, a finger grooved grip covers the original M4 grip and there is a PSG-01 style palm pad attached to the base of the pistol grip.
Rubber Shotguns
- The Security and police tactical units carry these futuristic shotguns. Many of the background guns are rubber molds of the modified SPAS-12 shotgun seen fired by Lt. Bergin (Chi McBride).
