A Grendel P-10 fitted with a suppressor is used by the assassin codenamed "Hemlock" (Jack Conley) in "Hemlock"(S1E15).
In "Sightings" (S1E11), a Remington 870 Field shotgun with a sawed-off barrel and pistol grip is seen in the hands of J.D. Gold (Wings Hauser) and later is used by Rabb.

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.

M16A1
M16A1's are frequently seen in the flashbacks to Vietnam, such as in the episode "Survivors".
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 Sergeant Galindez (Randy Vasquez).

Putting the distinctive A2 handguards on the older rifle was a method used by Movie/TV armorers to simulate A2 rifles when M16A1s were the only ones available.
