The following weapons were used in Season 8 of the television series Law & Order:

Smith & Wesson Model 36

Detective Lennie Brisco (Jerry Orbach) and Lieutenant Anita Van Buren (S. Epatha Merkerson) are armed with Smith & Wesson Model 36 revolvers. Despite the NYPD having officially switched to automatic pistols on January 1st, 1994, older officers like Briscoe and Van Buren were grandfathered in and allowed to continue carrying revolvers.

Smith & Wesson Model 36 - .38 Special

Det. Briscoe with his S&W 36 in "Navy Blues" (S08E03)

Briscoe holds up a suspect's nickel-plated S&W 36 in "Shadow" (S08E08)

Glock 19

Detective Rey Curtis (Benjamin Bratt) and other NYPD officers are armed with Glock 19 pistols.

Glock 19 (2nd Generation) - 9x19mm

Curtis with his Glock 19 in "Harvest" (S08E04).

Curtis storms into a suspect's apartment with his Glock drawn in "Shadow" (S08E08)

Seecamp LWS

The murder weapon in "Thrill" (S08E01) is a .25 caliber Seecamp LWS.

Seecamp LWS-32 - .32 ACP

Curtis finds the Seecamp LWS in "Thrill" (S08E01).

A slightly different angle.

M16

Members of the NYPD's Emergency Service Unit can be seen armed with slab-sided M16s with A2 handguards.

M16 aka SP1 (flat "slab side receiver") with an A1 "birdcage" Flash hider, used to impersonate the M16A1 during the 1970s and 1980s. This version has a 30 round magazine - 5.56x45mm

A good shot of the lack of a forward assist in "Navy Blues" (S08E03)

Two ESU officers with M16s in "Navy Blues" (S08E03). Since they actually have real M16s rather than MGC replicas, these officers actually practice good trigger discipline.

An officer guns guns down a suspect in "Navy Blues" (S08E03).

M16A1

Members of the NYPD's Emergency Service Unit can be seen armed with the M16A1s fitted with A2 handguards.

M16A1 with A2 style handguards - 5.56x45mm.

One of the ESU officers with an M16A1 in "Navy Blues" (S08E03).

Beretta 84FS

A stainless Beretta 84FS is used used in a shooting in "Harvest" (S08E04). It is described as being chambered in ".380," and "American-made," with walnut grips. (Beretta 84's are still made in Italy.)

Beretta 84FS Pistol .380 ACP

CSU Scapelli (Felix Solis) fires the Beretta into a vat of water in "Harvest" (S08E04).

Briscoe fiddles with the Beretta while Scapelli retrieves the bullet from the vat. He's conveniently ejected the magazine, showing that's it's a double-stack. He's also casually handling a loaded gun, since the slide was not locked back after Scapelli fired his test shot.

Glock 17

2nd Generation Glock 17 - 9x19mm

Security guard Andrew Parent (Michael Broughton) shoots a robber in the head at point-blank range in "Nullification" (S08E05).

MAC-11

The armored car robbers in "Nullification" (S08E05) are armed with MAC-11s. They are identified as such, and it is stated that they were converted to full auto.

Two of the robbers with their MAC-11s in "Nullification" (S08E05).

The MGC M16 Assault rifle: a non firing metal replica built by the Model Gun Corp of Japan and one of the most used non firing replicas of the M16 in movies and television. The 'forward assist' on the early models like the one imaged here are bolt inserts to keep the receiver together. Modern MGC M16 replicas have improved by third parties over the years (like adding A1 flash hiders) making it more accurate to the real thing making it harder for 'Connoisseurs' to identify.

Several MGC M16s in the pile.

An ESU officer with a MGC replica in "Shadow" (S08E08).

Another angle.

AK Variant

A few unidentifiable AK-47 variants are seen in a gun stash in "Nullification" (S08E05). There's not enough to make a proper ID. They're also likely to be replicas as well.

The AKs in the pile.
