JAG was a military legal drama series that was broadcast on NBC in 1995 for its first season and then was picked up by CBS, where it ran for 9 more seasons. The show primarily dealt with US Navy and Marine lawyers in the Judge Advocate General Corps investigating and prosecuting cases involving military law. It starred David James Elliott as Commander Harmon Rabb, Jr., a nval aviator, who after being diagnosed with night blindness, became a lawyer in JAG. The executive producer of the show was Donald Bellisario, who created such popular action shows of the 1980s as Magnum, P.I. and Airwolf. In 2003, JAG introduced characters who later would appear in the spinoff show NCIS.

Heckler & Koch MP5K-PDW
The Heckler & Koch MP5K-PDW is seen used frequently over the series, most notably by Rabb to rescue Lieutenant Painter in the Season 1 episode "Defensive Action" and to prove his point by shooting a courtroom ceiling in the Season 2 episode "Heroes". These are MP5K-PDWs due to their 3 lug barrels and folded stock.

Rabb and several bodyguards were armed with MAC-11s in the season 1 episode "War Cries".
SA Vz.61 Skorpion
The SA Vz.61 Skorpion is seen being used by Russian Secret Service in Season 1's "Hemlock", and by members of The Shining Path in Season 1's "War Cries".

M16 rifle series
Various styles of the M16 rifle series appeared in JAG during the show's long run. M16A1s with A2 hand guards were frequently used to simulate M16A2s. These guns make sense in JAG, because the military does use a lot of "Frankenstein" M16s. The Air Force being the worst offender, but they can be found in service with all branches.
Can also be seen in several episodes of Season 7 including "Code of Conduct" (being used by Navy SEALs), "Tribunal" (incorrectly shown being used by US Army Special Forces), and "In Country" (seen being carried by Harm, Mac, and Gunnery Sgt. Galindez (Randy Vasquez).
AK Variants
Kalashnikov and Norinco Rifles have been seen during the show's ten seasons. In the episodes set in Russia, Chechnya, Cuba, Iraq, China, etc, as well as flashbacks to the Korean War, Vietnam, and the Cold War, many varieties of Kalashnikov rifles have been seen, as well as the Chinese manufactured Norinco rifles. Unlike most movies and television shows JAG was usually pretty accurate about having the right rifle type for the locations.
FN FAL
The FN FAL is used by British Forces in Season 2's "Trinity".
