Star Trek: The Next Generation was the television series sequel to the original Star Trek. The sequel series, which aired in syndication for 7 seasons from 1987 to 1994, starred Patrick Stewart as Captain Jean-Luc Picard, who led the crew of a new starship Enterprise in the 24th century. Most of the firearms seen in the series were used in simulations on the ship's 'Holodeck' or when the characters were involved in time travel.
The following weapons were used in the television series Star Trek: The Next Generation:
In Season 5's finale "Time's Arrow, Part I" (S5E26), an archaeologist shows Captain Picard and Commander Data a 19th-century revolver in a cave beneath San Francisco. Data describes the weapon as a ".45-caliber double action Cavalry pistol, invented by Colt Firearms in 1873." The description appears to be in error as the revolver seen be is an "Artillery" model of the Colt Single Action Army, and Colt firearms did not make a double-action pistol in 1873. In the second part of that episode, Season 6's premiere "Time's Arrow, Part II" (S6E01), the weapon is held by Samuel Clemens (Jerry Hardin) when he confronts the Enterprise crew in the cave, revealing how it came to be there.
In Season 6's "A Fistful of Datas" (S6E08), a "Cavalry" model of the Single Action Army is mainly used by Lt. Worf (Michael Dorn) during a holodeck simulation of the Old West.
In Season 1's "The Big Goodbye" (S1E12), holographic henchman Felix Leech (Harvey Jason) pulls a stainless Walther PP with pearl grips during one of Captain Picard's Dixon Hill simulations. Due to a computer malfunction, the holodeck's safeguards are deactivated and Leech shoots and critically wounds a crewman, on the orders of his holographic boss, Cyrus Redblock (Lawrence Tierney).
In Season 1's "The Big Goodbye" (S1E12), one of Cyrus Redblock's henchmen can be seen armed with an M1911A1, holding it on the protagonists. After Cyrus is defeated, Data (Brent Spiner) takes the weapon from him and uses his superhuman strength to pinch the muzzle shut.
In Season 6's "A Fistful of Datas" (S6E08), Commander Data (Brent Spiner), whose likeness has been grafted onto a holographic Mexican gunfighter, wields a 12 Gauge Double Barreled Shotgun.
In Season 2's "Hide And Q", the beast-soldiers created by Q (John de Lancie) carry Brown Bess Flintlock Muskets that fire explosive energy bolts instead of bullets. The weapons are also fitted with bayonets, which are used on the protagonists when the soldiers overwhelm them.
In Season 2's "Manhunt" (S2E19), Jean-Luc Picard (Patrick Stewart) is playing one of his Dixon Hill mystery simulations when a simulated gangster (Robert Costanzo) bursts into his office brandishing an M1928 Thompson, the startled Picard ducks and yells for the computer to freeze the simulation before the gangster can open fire, even though he wouldn't have been harmed due to the holodeck's safeguards.
In the series premiere "Encounter at Farpoint" (S1E01), Picard and his crew find themselves in a "kangaroo court" in the year 2079, after the effects of a "post-atomic horror" on earth. Seen are futuristic soldiers armed with forearm-mounted weapons. These appear to be props, but they do emit what appears to be a gas-powered muzzle flash.
