Bad Boys is the 1995 action comedy that marked the feature film directorial debut of Michael Bay. In the film, Will Smith and Martin Lawrence star as Miami Police Department narcotics detectives who find themselves protecting a murder witness from a dangerous drug lord following the theft of a $100 million worth of heroin from the police lockup. The detective duo would return in 2003's Bad Boys II and then in 2020's Bad Boys for Life.
The following weapons were used in the film Bad Boys:
Detective Marcus Burnett (Martin Lawrence) uses a Smith & Wesson 4506 as his sidearm throughout the film. He uses an original bulged frame with a square trigger guard and either Novak or regular fixed sights throughout the film.

Although Mike Lowrey normally carries a chrome-plated (not nickel, according to the documentary/making of) SIG-Sauer P226, the gun he uses to shoot Fouchet is clearly a smaller SIG-Sauer P225 which also has a chrome finish (note the shorter barrel and different trigger guard shape, plus the thinner frame). It is not clear whether this is supposed to be a backup weapon, or merely a continuity error.
Fouchet (Tchéky Karyo) uses a chrome-plated Beretta 85BB with pearl grips throughout the film. He most notably uses this weapon to kill Max (Karen Alexander) and to shoot Eddie Dominguez (Emmanuel Xuereb) in the leg.
Detective Sanchez (Nestor Serrano) pulls a Beretta 92FS when he and Ruiz apprehend the two gang members staking out the Burnett house. Noah Trafficante (Marc Macaulay) carries what appears to be a Beretta 92FS fitted with a laser sight as his weapon.
Julie Mott (Téa Leoni) is seen taking a Walther PPK/S from the gun cabinet of Det. Lowrey (Will Smith) and pulls it at Club Hell with intentions of killing Fouchet (Tchéky Karyo) there.
After the highway chase, Julie (Téa Leoni), Mike (Will Smith), and Marcus (Martin Lawrence) are seen entering a convenience store to where the store clerk (Shaun Toub) notices Mike's holstered SIG. The clerk then pulls out one of two Desert Eagle Mark XIXs he has behind the counter on the two detectives. When the clerk gets distracted by Julie walking out of the store, Mike and Marcus pull their guns on the clerk.
When Marcus Burnett (Martin Lawrence) goes back to his house, Detective Ruiz (Julio Oscar Mechoso) pulls an early model Smith & Wesson 639 on the two gang members in a nearby car who were staking out the home. Casper (Frank John Hughes), one of Fouchet's cronies, also caries a S&W 639 as his primary weapon.
Near the end of the film, a wounded Fouchet pulls a hidden COP 357 Derringer in a last-ditch attempt to kill his captors, though is foiled when Lowrey spots the light reflecting off the pistol's chrome plating and shoots Fouchet before he can use the weapon.
In an attempt to take out Julie Mott (Téa Leoni), one of Fouchet's thugs, Kuni (Ralph Gonzalez) is armed with a Franchi SPAS-12 shotgun that he uses to blow a hole in the door of her apartment.
A gangster uses a silver finished Winchester 1300 when firing at the Ether truck. Mike Lowrey (Will Smith) later grabs one off a dead gangster and uses it in the final firefight.

Sanchez has a Calico 960A SMG, but the shot of the armorer has him holding a Calico 955A, note the longer "intermediate" length barrel and the forearm. Both are select fire guns, but one is pistol length barrel, the other is an intermediate length barrel.
