Handguns
SIG-Sauer P226/P228
The SIG-Sauer P226 or SIG-Sauer P228 is used by all of the Massachusetts State Police officers in the movie, including Matt Damon as Sergeant Colin Sullivan, Anthony Anderson as Detective Brown, and numerous other characters. (NOTE: The actual gun used by Matt Damon is currently on display at the National Firearms Museum located at the NRA Headquarters in Fairfax, VA, and it is in fact a SIG-Sauer P228, not a P226).
In real life, the P226 has been standard-issue for the Massachusetts State Police since 1987. However, during the scene where Collin is sitting in a class on ballistics while at the academy, the instructor mentions that the department's service pistols are chambered for 9mm hollow-point rounds. This is a slight inaccuracy; the Staties have been using the .40 S&W version of the P226 since the mid-1990s (and more recently switched to the double-action-only DAK model, whereas the guns in the movie are SA/DA models).
Astra A-100
Although the SIG-Sauer P226 is standard-issue for the Massachusetts State Police (both in the movie and in real life), a close-up of Collin Sullivan (Matt Damon) firing his weapon at the academy reveals an Astra A-100. This pistol looks similar to the P228, but it is a very different weapon. When Billy Costigan (Leonardo DiCaprio) is shown training on firearms at the academy, he also seems to be using this same pistol (probably the same prop gun).
Beretta 92FS
A suppressed Beretta 92FS is used by Staff Sergeant Dignam (Mark Wahlberg) at the end of the film.
Beretta 84 Cheetah
Frank Costello (Jack Nicholson) carries a Beretta 84 Cheetah (the early model) as his sidearm throughout the movie. It is seen most notably when he confronts Billy about the possibility that he might be an informant.
Colt Python
Mr. French (Ray Winstone) carries a snub-nose version of the Colt Python .357 Magnum throughout the film. It is seen most notably during the warehouse scene, when he cocks the weapon while it's concealed behind his back.
Smith & Wesson Model 19 Snubnose
Frank Costello (Jack Nicholson) uses a Smith & Wesson Model 19 Snubnose when he killed a man and woman by the airport in the beginning off the movie.
Smith & Wesson Model 36 Revolver
Fitzy (David O'Hara) uses a Smith & Wesson Model 36 revolver.
Walther PPK
Billy Costigan (Leonardo DiCaprio) carries as his pistol throughout the movie a flat nickel Walther PPK. This weapon is later used by trooper Barrigan (James Badge Dale) and then eventually by Colin.
Shotguns
Franchi SPAS-12
A Franchi SPAS-12 shotgun with a fixed buttstock is used by one of Costello's men during the shootout near the end of the film.
Mossberg 500 "Cruiser"
A Mossberg 500 Cruiser is used by Delahunt (Mark Rolston) during the scene in which Costello's men kill Captain Queenan (Martin Sheen). He drops the weapon after being shot by Internal Investigations detectives.
Ithaca Model 37
One of the Massachusetts State Police officers is seen firing an Ithaca Model 37 shotgun at Costello's men during the final gunfight. It is equipped with an extended magazine tube.
Rifles
Olympic Arms K23B
Olympic Arms K23B assault rifles, ultra-compact versions of the Colt CAR-15 Commando with 6.5-inch barrels, are used by several SWAT officers when they take down Costello at the end of the film.
AKMS
An AKMS-type assault rifle is carried by one of the Chinese thugs in the warehouse (it looks like it might be a Chinese Norinco Type 56-1, but it's hard to tell because the weapon is never seen clearly).
Submachine Guns
Heckler & Koch MP5A3
During the warehouse scene, one of the Chinese thugs carries a Heckler & Koch MP5A3 fitted with a Surefire dedicated fore-end (but with no flashlight in the grip).
Cobray M11/9
Two of the Chinese thugs are seen carrying Cobray M11/9 machine pistols during the money exchange in the warehouse.
MAC-10
One of Costello's men fires at the Massachusetts State Police with a MAC-10 at the end of the film, despite Costello's earlier statement that his men don't carry machine guns.
M16A1/A2
M16A1 and M16A2 rifles are used by the police officers who perform the 3-volley salute at a funeral (all of them have A2 hand guards, but the receivers of some rifles are clearly A1 style).
