S.W.A.T. (2003)

AKM/AKMS

Some of the first firearms seen in the film are the AKM and AKMS. The assault rifles appear in the hands of bank robbers in the opening scenes of the film, which is based off the infamous North Hollywood Bank shootout (described in greater detail in 44 Minutes: The North Hollywood Shootout), where a pair of AK-toting bank robbers dressed in heavy body armor wreaked havoc on the outgunned Los Angeles Police Department. Several AKM and AKMS rifles also appear being used by gang members who ambush a police convoy in an attempt to liberate the main villain of the film. Two of the AKM's used by the robbers have high-capacity drum magazines (designed for the RPK light machine gun) instead of the standard 30-round box magazine.

Beretta 92FS

The film features Beretta 92FS pistols as the standard-issue sidearms of L.A.P.D. Patrolmen, which in the opening scenes are totally outclassed by the assault rifles and heavy body armor wielded by the bank robbers (similar to the real-life North Hollywood Shootout), prompting the mobilization of the SWAT team. One of the main villain's cronies is also seen using one fitted with a suppressor when attempting to liberate him from a Sheriff's Department inmate transport bus. Several officers playing the role of terrorists during a training mission are also armed with Berettas that have been modified to fire paintballs and are identified by the orange markings on the bottom of the magazines.

Remington 870

During the bank robbery scene, several L.A.P.D. patrolmen can be seen trying in vain to take down the robbers with Remington 870 shotguns which, like their Beretta pistols, are no match for the automatic rifles and heavy body armor of the robbers. Some of the gang members during the convoy ambush can also be seen with Remington 870's.

M4A1 carbine

The M4A1 carbine is one of the primary weapons of LAPD SWAT in the film. Brian Gamble (Jeremy Renner) and his men also are seen with them. The M4's are fitted with ACOG Compact scopes on the carry handles and Surefire M500AB weaponlight handguards.

Heckler & Koch MP5A2

Another weapon in the SWAT team's arsenal is the Heckler & Koch MP5A2s with Navy trigger group wielded by the team are equipped with Surefire dedicated forend weaponlights.

Kimber Custom TLE II

Another weapon commonly used by the SWAT team is a variant of the M1911A1 pistol known as the Kimber Custom TLE II made by Kimber Manufacturing, Inc. Like all the other weapons used by SWAT, it too has a weaponlight (a Surefire 310R, which can be distinguished from the 610R by the minimal protrusion past the muzzle). The most notable scene involving this weapon is when Officer T.J. McCabe (Josh Charles) uses one to commit suicide rather than be arrested by the team he had betrayed. During a training mission simulating a hijacked airliner, the team uses several of these weapons modified to fire paintballs, identifiable by the orange markings on the grip and weaponlight. During the final shootout on the 6th Street bridge, Alex Montel (Oliver Martinez) can be seen brandishing one, shouting in vain for his would-be liberators to "Give [him] more ammo" when he runs dry. One of Gamble's men also threatens the driver of a subway train with one of these pistols. Both Montel and Gamble's men use TLE II's without weaponlights.

SIG-Sauer P220 Sport

When Gamble frees Alex Montel from SWAT's custody, he can be seen carrying a SIG-Sauer P220 Sport as his weapon of choice, first using it to shoot Officer Michael Boxer (Brian Van Holt) in the neck nearly killing him and then in the final fight with his former partner Officer Jim Street (Colin Farrell). During the fight, Street manages to eject the magazine and get hold of the pistol, Gamble tauntingly holding up the ejected magazine, to which Street replies that there's still a round in the chamber before ejecting it and discarding the pistol, preferring to finish the fight hand-to-hand instead.

Benelli M3 Super 90

The Benelli M3 Super 90 shotgun is another standard firearm used by LAPD SWAT and is used in the film by several SWAT officers including Deke Kay (L.L. Cool J). In addition to a Surefire dedicated forend weaponlight and pistol-grip stock, it is also tricked out with saddle shell holders on the right side of the stock and left side of the receiver for a total of 12 extra rounds of both buckshot and slugs. During the bank robbery scene at the beginning of the film, SWAT uses one of these shotguns fitted with a special muzzle brake as a breaching weapon to blow the lock off an air conditioning vent cover in order to gain access to the inside of the bank via the roof.

M18 Smoke Grenade

In the scene where the L.A.P.D. convoy is ambushed, several gang members toss M18 smoke grenades into the street to cover their operation. Gamble also tosses one behind him in the sewers in an attempt to delay the SWAT team chasing his group.

M18A1 Claymore

An M18A1 Claymore mine appears in the film when Gamble plants one in the sewers while him and his men are being pursued by the SWAT team. Thankfully, the team discovers the mine before it can cause any harm, later using it to blast open a locked gate at the end of the sewers.

McMillan M88 Sniper Rifle

At one point in the film, an L.A.P.D. helicopter arrives to transport Alex Montel to the federal prison, but is shot out of the sky by one shot to each of the chopper's two engines from a McMillan M88 single shot sniper rifle fitted with a suppressor and extra ammo sleeves being wielded by Brian Gamble (Jeremy Renner) from a van in a parking garage several hundred yards away.

An Intratec TEC-DC9 appears in the scene where Alex Montel's cronies try to bust him out of the Sheriff's Office inmate transport bus while posing as L.A.P.D. officers, one of the cronies reaching into a police car and pulling one out, opening up on the SWAT members that had just shown up on the scene.

Remington 700PSS

Several SWAT snipers are seen using Remington 700PSS sniper rifles fitted with folding bipods during the film. First during the bank robbery scene where SWAT sniper Sgt. Yamoto (Daniel Ichikawa) takes out one of the robbers trying to start the getaway car, and again trying to locate the source of the shots that took out the police chopper. The team is also seen practicing with them during their training, shooting playing cards at long range in a bizarre game of poker, these rifles featuring a camouflage paint scheme as shown below.
