Arrested Development was a television situation comedy that followed a dysfunctional family as they try to continue their extravagant lifestyle despite losing all their wealth. The series aired for three seasons in the US on FOX from 2003 to 2006 before being canceled by the network. In 2013, the series would be revived for 15 episodes on the streaming service Netflix. On hand to direct several episodes were Anthony and Joe Russo, who would later gain notice for directing several films in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, including Captain America: Civil War.
The following weapons were used in the television series Arrested Development:
In Making a Stand (S3E08), one of the probation officers hired by Buster and J. Walter Weatherman to teach a lesson to George Sr., G.O.B., and Michael wields what appears to be a Benelli M1 Super 90 shotgun.
A Remington 1858 New Army is among the four antique revolvers hanging on the wall behind Warden Buck (Rocky McMurray) in Key Decisions (top left corner).
A Single Action Army is among the four antique revolvers hanging on the wall behind Warden Buck (Rocky McMurray) in Key Decisions (bottom right corner).
Tobias Funke (David Cross) is given a Smith & Wesson Model 19 when he becomes a mall security guard in Not Without My Daughter. It appears to be a blank-firing replica.
Gun rights activist and actor Moses Taylor (Rob Corddry) uses a Beretta 92FS as the character "Det. Frank Wrench" on his TV show "Wrench", seen with it in the opening credits. Other LAPD officers can be seen with Berettas throughout the show.
The other pistol held by G.O.B. in Making a Stand is a M1911A1, which is later used by George Sr. (Jeffrey Tambor) to shoot off the arm of J. Walter Weatherman in order to teach his kids a lesson. Buster (Tony Hale) later picks it up when he enters the room.
Det. Munch (Richard Belzer, mocking his role from Homicide: Life on the Street), carries a Glock 19 in Exit Strategy in his holster when he tricks Tobias into giving the police evidence against the Bluths by holding a scrapbooking class.
Buster Bluth (Tony Hale) has a Springfield M1903A3 slung over his back when dressed as a "soldier" during his father's mock funeral in Good Grief.

Many Marines and Army rangers hit the battlefield with the 03-A3. This example was built at the Remington plant. During World War 2 - only Remington and Smith Corona (the typewriter company) built 03A3 rifles from the original WW1 tooling from Rock Island - .30-06Error creating thumbnail: File missingGOB rushes Buster out the door.
AK-47
The "Columbians" hired by Michael to intimidate his father to teach him a lesson in Making a Stand have AK-47 derivatives during George Sr.'s "kidnapping". Michael (Jason Bateman) himself holds one.
An FGM-148 Javelin can be seen in the gun store where Tobias buys his tranquilizer rifle above the head of the gun store clerk (Brian Baumgartner) in Burning Love. ---looks a lot more like an AT4 to me...
