The following weapons appear in the TV series CSI: Crime Scene Investigation:
Pistols
Glock 17
The Glock 17 is the most common handgun featured in the series. Dr. Gil Grissom (William Petersen) carried one in Seasons 1-2 as well in Season 4's premiere, but after that was never seen wielding one again. Detective Vartann (Alex Carter) is also frequently seen carrying a Glock 17 as well as most of the junior detectives and officers.
Glock 26
In addition to the full-size Glock 17's, Sara Sidle (Jorja Fox), Catherine Willows (Marg Helgenberger) being one of the only CSIs to shoot and kill a suspect with their duty issue, and Sophia Curtis (Louise Lombard) each carried a Glock 26. CSI Morgan Brody (Elisabeth Harnois) carries a Glock 26 as her weapon. While Sara Sidle carried one from season 1-8, Catherine only used one from season 1 through season 3 where she then switched to a SIG P232. Detective Curtis carried one from season 6-8. The new CSI Riley Adams (Lauren Lee Smith) is also featured carrying a Glock 26. Gil Grissom carries one in Season 4, episode 6 entitled "Jackpot".
Smith & Wesson SW99
Nick Stokes (George Eads) uses a Smith & Wesson SW99 with a nickel-plated slide. Its most prominent showing is in the Season 5 finale "Grave Danger" when the gun is tossed in with Nick before he is buried alive in a Plexiglass coffin. Midway through the episode, having discovered that his built-in air supply is threatened by a light inside the coffin (which comes on whenever his colleagues activate a website and webcam that allows them to view his plight), Nick stuffs his ears with gum and then shoots out the light, giving Warrick Brown (Gary Dourdan) a scare (He later regrets it when fire ants invade the coffin). Nick frequently seen with his gun drawn is the final episodes of season 8 and 9 when apprehending the rogue Undersheriff Jeff McKeen (Conor O'Farrell). In the Season 10 finale Nick uses his SW99 to shoot Dr. Jekyll 6 times killing him instantly after Dr. Jekyll shoots him in the chest and shoulder with a shotgun.
H&K USP Compact

Heckler & Koch USP
Capt. Jim Brass (Paul Guilfoyle) carries a Heckler & Koch USP as his sidearm in season 1 & 2, before switching to the SIG-Sauer P228 mentioned above. A USP was also identified as a murder weapon in another episode due to the effects of the USP's rifling on the bullet.
Kimber Custom TLE II
Raymond "Ray" Langston (Laurence Fishburne) carries a Kimber Custom TLE II after joining the CSI team as CSI Level 1.
Beretta 92FS
The Beretta 92FS is another common weapon seen used in the series, by both cops and criminals. In one episode, a man wakes up to a break-in of his home, producing a two-tone Beretta 92FS when he goes to investigate. He discovers his kitchen being ransacked by a group of people who flee upon being confronted by the armed homeowner.
Luger P08
In the episode "Snakes" (S5E12), an elderly WW2 veteran named Stuart Manslow (George Murdock) uses a Luger P08 pistol brought back with him from the war to kill a telemarketer named Vincent Decarlo (Chad Donella), having become disgusted with his "parasitic" habit of taking advantage of his fellow nursing home residents. He later surrenders the weapon to Warrick Brown after explaining what he'd done. One is seen on display with custom grips in episode "Better Off Dead."
Ruger KP89
When investigating the murder of the telemarketer mentioned above, Brass and Warrick question Dax Blanchard (Reid Scott), one of his co-workers. During the conversation, the telemarketer is discovered to be carrying a concealed Ruger KP89, which he claims to have a permit for.
Walther PPK
The Walther PPK makes a few appearances in a few episodes. Hank Connor used one to kill Chyna DeVere (Dawn Drake) in the episode "Leapin' Lizards" (S7E22) from Series 7. In the Series 6 episode, "Killer" (S6E14), Karl Cooper (William Sadler) uses one with a suppressor to murder Clayton Nash for testifying against him.
Makarov PM
In the Series 5 episode "Hollywood Brass" (S5E20), the character Ronnie (Michael K. Williams) appears with a Makarov PM, sporting a stainless steel finish and with tape around the grip.
Beretta 21 Bobcat
In the episode "Homebodies" (S4E03), a young boy discovers a Beretta 21 Bobcat hidden in a flowerbed in his backyard, and accidentally shoots himself in the foot with the weapon. It is later discovered that local bounty hunter Frank Maddox (M.C. Gainey) had used it to commit suicide after his business failed, using balloons to transport the pistol away from the scene to make it appear he was murdered, the balloons depositing the weapon in the flowerbed. Another Bobcat appears in the episode "Weeping Willows", found in a car during an investigation, this one having wooden grips. This weapon was appeared once again on the episode "For Warrick" and was the weapon that killed CSI Warrick Brown in the season opener of season 9.
Astra Terminator
Identified as a .44 Magnum, a .44 Astra Terminator is used to kill a high school bully in "Bully for You".
AMT Hardballer Longslide
A flashback of Keppler's past shows him executing a kid in Trenton, New Jersey with a .45 AMT Hardballer Longslide pistol, which he later found in a plastic bag with the victim's blood & his prints on it in "Law of Gravity" (S7E15).
M1911A1
Corrupt ex-cop Frank McCarthy uses a M1911A1 pistol to kill his old partner & Keppler before Keppler kills him with his SIG-Sauer P226 pistol in "Law of Gravity".
Revolvers
Smith & Wesson Model 629
A Smith & Wesson Model 629 is test fired by Sara Sidle (Jorja Fox) in the Season 1 episode "Sex, Lies and Larvae" (S1E10). A noticeable error in the episode is that the coroner identifies the bullet wound being from a .38, whereas the 629 is only chambered in .44 Magnum.
NAA Mini revolver
In the episode "No Humans Involved" (S5E10), an NAA Mini Revolver was carried by Miguel Garabei (Chris Villa) in a belt holster and used to wound another. One was identified in the Season 9 episode "All In" (S9E24), as a "Vanderville Arms Concealable .22 LR" which does not exist.
Submachine Guns
FN P90
In "Zippered" (S12E09), a batch of FN P90s is stolen from the Middle East and snuck into the US. The CSIs erroneously state the the 5.7x28mm rounds used by the weapon are illegal in the United States. The gun is also continually referred to as a "Supergun", capable of cutting a man in half (Referred to by an FBI agent in the show as "Zippering", as if it's something they see every day). Another peculiarity is that even the ballistics expert at CSI has never even heard of the caliber before.
Heckler & Koch MP5A3
In the episode "Poppin' Tags" (S6E20), gang members use a Heckler & Koch MP5A3 stolen from Las Vegas P.D. SWAT to conduct a drive-by shooting. The weapon is later disassembled and destroyed in an attempt to get rid of the evidence.
Heckler & Koch MP5K
In the bank robbery in "Inside the Box" (S3E23) a bank robber has an Heckler & Koch MP5K with a sling during a daring daytime heist.
MAC-10
There are several appearances of MAC-10s in the series, frequently seen used by criminals and gang members.
Rifles
Olympic Arms OA-93
Two of the bank robbers from the episode "Inside the Box" (S3E23) are armed with short AR-15 Pistols. The upper receivers seem to be the Olympic Arms OA-93, but the lower receivers have a short buffer tube, which is not necessary on the OA-93 design since the top receiver and foregrip include the innovative spring system that doesn't require a buffer tube and spring to operate the bolt carrier. Since the guns never fire in the episode, one can assume that a prop armorer assembled these pistols up from different guns. They are also seen fitted with telescoping stocks as used on M16 rifle series-type carbines.
Steyr AUG A3
In the episode "Leapin' Lizards" (S7E22), a paranoid conspiracy nut named Hank Connor (Carl Ciarfalio) engages Las Vegas P.D. SWAT in a shootout while holed up in his home, committing suicide when SWAT manages to gain entry. Among the weapons stockpiled in his home is a Steyr AUG A3 rifle.
Shotguns
Mossberg 500
A 12 Gauge Mossberg 500 shotgun is seen used in the grocery store robbery in "Paper or Plastic" (S4E14).
Other
X26 Taser
In one episode, an LVPD patrolman uses an X26 Taser to subdue a violent suspect after mace proves ineffective. When the suspect is shot with the Taser however, he bursts into flames and burns to death. Later on, Nick Stokes (George Eads) can be seen firing the Taser in the crime lab while trying to recreate the conditions of the incident, the investigation revealing that the mace used prior to the taser shot was a civilian brand that was not approved for LVPD use due to it being potentially flammable. This incident was later tested in an episode of Mythbusters, the hosts also having had a cameo appearance as lab technicians looking on as Nick Stokes was test-firing the Taser.
