Law & Order - Season 10
The tenth season of Law & Order saw the introduction of Jesse L. Martin as Detective Nick Green as a replacement for Rey Curtis, who had retired at the end of Season 9. Like Curtis, Green was fluent in Spanish and could chase guys down, but unlike Curtis, Green was more than willing to bend, and sometimes even break the rules. Right from his first episode, Green was also shown to have gambling habit, which foreshadowed his departure from the force eight years later. Carey Lowell returned for the first of two guest appearances as Jamie Ross in the fifth episode, "Justice."
The tenth season turned out to be the last for actor Steven Hill, who, aside from a few voiceovers for commercials, retired from acting. Ironically, Robert M. Morganthau, the elderly real-life New York County District Attorney that Adam Schiff was loosely based upon, wouldn't retired for another nine years, at the age of ninety. Schiff's departure wasn't revealed until the season premiere of Season 11, where it was mentioned that he left to work on the Holocaust Project. He never returned to the series, though was mentioned to be alive as recently as Season 19.
Having lost Homicide: Life on the Street as a partner in two-parters, the show turned to its spinoff Law & Order: Special Victims Unit, which had premiered that year. The two shows had one two-parter, "Entitled," which aired back-to-back on the same night, and another standalone episode which involved the SVU cast, "Fools for Love." Episode 22, "High & Law," featured a guest appearance by actress Adrienne Shelley, whose murder in 2006 would itself lead to its own Law & Order episode in Season 17.

The following weapons were used in Season 10 of the television series Law & Order:
Smith & Wesson Model 36
Detective Lennie Brisco (Jerry Orbach) is armed with a Smith & Wesson Model 36 revolver. Despite the NYPD having officially switched to automatic pistols on January 1st, 1994, older officers like Briscoe were grandfathered in and allowed to continue carrying revolvers.
Glock 19
Detective Ed Green (Jesse L. Martin) and other NYPD officers are armed with Glock 19 pistols.
"Rolf 9" (Armitage International Scarab Skorpion)
The "Rolf 9" machine pistol is the focus of the season premiere "Gunshow" (S10E01). In reality, it is a Armitage International Scarab Skorpion, a crude, "copy" of the Skorpion SA, fitted with a barrel shroud. The necessity of using a firearm no longer in production is due to the fact the gun in the episode is shown to have a design flaw that allows people to easily convert it to full auto. The company that manufactures it knows about the design flaw, but refuses to fix it because they know people are only buying that gun BECAUSE it's easily convertible.
Colt Commander
Dennis Trope (Neal Huff) threatens to kill himself with a nickel-plated or stainless Colt Commander in "Gunshow" (S10E01).
MGC M-16 Model Gun Corp Replica Rifle
ESU officers are seen with MGC M-16 Model Gun Corp Replica Rifle in numerous episodes. They are fitted with round A2 handguards.
Browning Hi-Power
Det. Green recovers a Browning Hi-Power off of Bobby Ward (Dominic Chianese Jr.) in "DNR" (S10E03).

Raven Army MP-25
Det. Briscoe recovers a Raven Arms MP-25 after searching a car in "Marathon" (S10E06). Lab technician Mike Fitch (Bruce Winant) identifies it as such while testing it.
Budischowsky/Norton TP-70

Marksman 1010 BB pistol

SIG-Sauer P230

Beretta 84FS
A Beretta 84FS is found in the suspect's apartment in "Untitled" (S10E20).
