Officer Ben Sherman (Ben McKenzie) continues to carry the .40 caliber Glock 22 (which is the standard-issue handgun for the LAPD). Other officers and detectives also carry the Glock 22, including Det. Ruben Robinson (Dorian Missick), Officer Dave Mendoza (Chad Michael Murray), and Officer Gary Steele (Derek Ray).
Several LAPD officers and detectives carry the Beretta 92FS as their sidearm, including Officer Sammy Bryant (Shawn Hatosy), Officer Bill "Dewey" Dudek (C. Thomas Howell), Sergeant Hill (Jamie McShane), Sergeant Waters (Lesley Fera), and Officer Hank Lucero (Anthony Ruivivar). In "Babel" (S5E03), Bryant uses his Beretta to trade fire with an active shooter and later bring the shooter down aside fellow officers. Lucero uses his Beretta in a felony stop (inspired by an episode of COPS), with the hammer cocked back in single-action, which most officers refrain from using unless they are already engaged with their weapon in a gunfight.
Officer John Cooper (Michael Cudlitz) continues to carry the Smith & Wesson 5906 as his duty sidearm. This weapon is on the LAPD approved carry list. In "Heat" (S5E02), Cooper is seen using his 5906 to trade shots with a suspect who fired on him and Steele.
In "The Felix Paradox" (S5E08), two LAPD officers serving a search warrant with Officers Cooper and Lucero carry the Smith & Wesson 4506, at one point using their sidearms to use deadly force against a suspect who shoots at them through a closed closet door. The Smith & Wesson 4506 is on the LAPD's approved carry list.

The barrels are slightly longer than the Smith & Wesson 5906 that Officer Cooper carries. Note all of the handguns in this screenshot are in double-action configuration despite being fired only moments before; this indicates a separate take.A behind the scenes image shows the LAPD officers to either side of Lucero discharging their Smith & Wesson 4506's in "The Felix Paradox" (S5E08).
Smith & Wesson 3913
Detective Lydia Adams (Regina King) continues to carry a Smith & Wesson 3913 as her on-duty sidearm. She is juxtaposed with uniformed officers on the show in that she is not often seen drawing her weapon.
Officer Sammy Bryant (Shawn Hatosy) carries a Smith & Wesson 3914, the blue-steel version of the 3913, as his off-duty firearm. In "Off-Duty" (S5E05), he draws it while working his second job as a celebrity bodyguard to defend himself and his client against a crazed suspect firing at vehicles in the street. He doesn't fire the weapon in the scene. In "The Felix Paradox" (S5E08), Bryant draws his 3914 when he comes home to find the aftermath of a break-in.
In "The Felix Paradox" (S5E08), an officer that serves a search warrant carries a Kimber Custom TLE II. This is the standard-issue sidearm of LAPD SWAT.
A Smith & Wesson Model 60 is used by a pawn shop employee in order to test a ballistic vest in "Hats and Bats" (S5E01). In "Bleed Out" (S5E06), a handcuffed suspect who was not searched is seen firing a single shot at Cooper (Michael Cudlitz) and Lucero (Anthony Ruivivar) among their fellow officers with a Smith & Wesson Model 60.
In "Bleed Out" (S5E06), Officer Cooper (Michael Cudlitz) finds a Smith & Wesson Model 19 with rubber grips on on a table in Hicks' (Gerald McRaney), his former FTO, (Field Training Officer) boat where he resides. It is shown to be a Model 19 by the barrel underlug, which the Model 15 (the actual former LAPD-issue revolver) lacks.
The Remington 870 Police Riot Magnum is the standard shotgun used by the LAPD in the series. In Season 5's premiere "Hats and Bats" (S5E01), an officer responding to a riot situation carries the modified Remington loaded with non-lethal beanbag rounds. In "Babel" (S5E03), an officer uses a live Remington 870 to volley-fire at an active shooter with Officers Sherman and Bryant when the shooter returns to the scene. Officer Bryant owns two Remington 870's (with black furniture) for home-defense, and is seen removing them both from a gun safe and giving one to Officer Sherman when Bryant receives a gang threat in "The Felix Paradox" (S5E08).

Mossberg 500 Cruiser
In "Babel" (S5E03), what appears to be a Mossberg 500 Cruiser with an extended mag tube is used by a white supremacist to perform an active shooter-style attack on an ESL support group at an LA community center. He fires the weapon in close proximity to Officer Sherman's ear when he blows a shot through an exterior doorway, temporarily deafening Sherman. The shooter escapes the scene, but later returns with the same Mossberg and fires it at the crowd of LAPD officers and civilians.

This is very likely a non-gun to ensure the actor's safety, as the shotgun has no recoil when fired.Error creating thumbnail: File missingIn "Babel" (S5E03), the shooter later returns with the same Mossberg shotgun and fires two shots at the crowd of LAPD officers and civilians before being shot in a volley of gunfire from officers. Note the red shell being ejected to the left of the shot.
Browning Auto-5
In the episode "Chaos" (S5E09), one of the suspects who kidnaps Cooper and Lucero is armed with a Browning Auto-5 shotgun.
In Season 5's premiere "Hats and Bats" (S5E01), Officer Bill "Dewey" Dudek (C. Thomas Howell) fires rubber bullets and tear gas from a Defense Technologies 1315 launcher during a riot situation.
In Season 5's premiere "Hats and Bats" (S5E01), Officer Dave Mendoza (Chad Michael Murray) uses an X26 Taser to subdue an exotic dancer who removes his Glock 22 from its holster and fires it into the air several times. The Glock used in this scene appears to be a non-gun flashpaper replica. In "Off-Duty" (S5E05), Officer Hank Lucero (Anthony Ruivivar) uses the X26 Taser to stop a resisting suspect after the suspect attacks Officer Cooper.
