Warning - Spoilers Ahead

Handguns

Glock 22

2nd Generation Glock 22 pistols appears in the film as the main sidearm of U.S. Deputy Marshal Sam Gerard (Tommy Lee Jones) and his fellow Marshals. Later in the film, U.S. Diplomatic Security Service Special Agent John Royce (Robert Downey Jr.) can be seen using one when he and Gerard are pursuing Mark Sheridan (Wesley Snipes) aboard the cargo ship, breaking up a fight between Sheridan and Gerard by shooting Sheridan in the shoulder after Sheridan gets ahold of Gerard's Glock and pistol-whips Gerard in the back with it. Near the end of the film, Royce attempts to use his Glock to kill Sheridan and Gerard, only to discover that Gerard had replaced the magazine with an empty one from his gun. When Gerard points out in the hospital that Royce is now carrying a Glock instead of his Taurus PT945 (see below), Royce replies, "Yeah, Glock .40, just like yours". Gerard also incorrectly states that the G22 can fire underwater, though it can fire a few rounds, it would likely jam and, regardless, is bad for the pistol.

Also, Royce must be pretty amateur since he failed to notice the difference in the weight of his Glock after 15 rounds of .40 Smith & Wesson disappeared.

Taurus PT945

When Royce and Gerard first meet, Gerard asks to see what kind of gun Royce is carrying. After jokingly responding, "A big one, how 'bout you?", Royce produces a stainless steel Taurus PT945 which Gerard calls a "nickel-plated sissy pistol", advising Royce to get a Glock instead. This alone is a potential inaccuracy, as the standard sidearm for DSS special agents is the SIG P228 or P229. During the manhunt in the swamp, Sheridan takes the pistol from Royce and holds him at gunpoint in a short standoff with Gerard before shooting Gerard in his bulletproof vest in order to make his escape. Royce manages to retake the weapon and later uses the pistol to fatally wound Deputy Marshal Noah Newman (Tom Wood) when Newman catches Royce about to kill Sheridan in cold blood at the Lorelei Building. Royce then tries to pass it off as the gun Sheridan used to kill Newman with the serial number filed off, but Gerard recognizes it from their earlier meeting.

Glock 27

When boarding the prisoner transport flight, Gerard removes both his Glock 22 and a sub-compact Glock variant that he carries in an ankle holster as a backup weapon. This is most likely a Glock 27, which is chambered for the same .40 Smith & Wesson cartridge as his Glock 22. After this scene, the baby Glock is not seen for the rest of the film, likely lost in the crash-landing incident.

Kahr K9

Following the car crash in Chicago, firefighters responding to the accident find a blue steel Kahr K9 hidden in the glovebox of Sheridan's tow truck (although the gun is mostly covered up by the holster it's in, you can see "K9" on the end of the slide). The discovery of this weapon leads to Sheridan being arrested on concealed weapons charges.

Ruger SP101

When Sheridan hijacks a semi truck belonging to a man named Earl (Ray Toler), he also takes possession of the driver's Ruger SP101 revolver and some extra ammo for it. He later uses it during the manhunt in the swamp, holding Royce at gunpoint with it.

Colt Gold Cup National Match Series 80

Upon reaching New York City, Sheridan meets with an old friend he calls "Sarge" (Lorenzo Clemons) who provides him with materials needed in his mission to exonerate himself, including a stainless steel Colt Gold Cup National Match Series 80. He then uses it when he confronts Agent Barrows (Rick Snyder) in the cemetery, pistol-whipping him in the face and holding him at gunpoint with it. He then uses it in the ensuing shootout with Xian Chen, and while being pursued to the Lorelei Building by Gerard and company. Interestingly, Gerard can be seen holding this pistol in promotional material for the film, but never uses one on-screen.

Smith & Wesson 1006

A Kentucky State Trooper who stops Earl's (Ray Toler) semi-truck is seen with a Smith & Wesson 1006 in his holster. This is due to the lack of the wraparound grip that is seen on the Smith & Wesson 4506, as well as the fact that the Kentucky State Police carried the 1006 in 1998, the time of the film's production.

Smith & Wesson Model 36

When Royce finds his Glock 22 has been emptied on him, he makes a last ditch effort to kill Gerard by drawing a nickel plated Smith & Wesson Model 36 before being gunned down. It does not appear to be the Ruger SP-101 from earlier in the film as previously mentioned.

Shotguns

Remington 870 shotguns make several appearances in the film, first in the hands of prisoner transport flight guards following the crash-landing, then in the hands of locals helping with the swamp manhunt.

Maverick 88 Shotgun

A Maverick 88 is recovered by Gerard from a baby's crib during the fugitive arrest in the beginning of the film. The Maverick 88 is outfitted with a a pistol gripped and it is an inexpensive version of the Mossberg 500 Cruiser. One of the suspects tries to get this weapon so that he can shoot Deputy Marshal Noah Newman, but Newman shoots him with his Glock 22 in the shoulder before he can do this. Gerard later takes this weapon and uses it to intimidate another suspect. It is noted as a Maverick 88 by its safety moved from the receiver tang to the trigger guard.

Gerard pumps the action of the Maverick 88 before holding it on another suspect, and ejects a live round. The standard practice for Law Enforcement when picking up an unknown weapon is to rack the action, to be sure it is loaded, as they may need to use it quickly and don't know if has a round in the chamber. As Gerard pulled the shotgun from out of a crib, it's likely he would be pumping it to ensure this.

Rifles

Colt Sporter II Carbine

During the cemetery scene, Sheridan and the Deputies come under fire by U.N. Cultural Attache of China Xian Chen (Michael Paul Chan) wielding a Colt Sporter II Carbine fitted with an Aimpoint 9000 SC red dot scope and sound suppressor from the roof of the funeral home.

XL-17 Pen Gun

While on board the prisoner transport flight, a prisoner retrieves an XL-17 pen gun hidden in a roll of toilet paper in the lavatory. The prisoner then attempts to use the weapon to kill Sheridan but fails, the shot shattering a window of the plane and causing an explosive decompression that sucks the would-be assassin and several other prisoners and guards out of the plane and forces an emergency landing. Of course, a single bullet hole cannot cause explosive decompression in real life.

Trivia Special

Sparking Bullets

Like most typical Hollywood films, we see that bullets spark against the oddest things, when most bullets don't even spark on metal.
