Glock 19

The most frequently seen weapon in the film, the Glock 19 is the standard-issue sidearm of N.Y.P.D. officers, including Officer Dante Jackson (Forest Whitaker). When Jackson tries to forcibly remove one of the students from the school after he and several others protest the suspension of a popular teacher, Jackson's Glock comes out of his holster and is picked up by Zacharias 'Ziggy' Malone (Robert Ri'chard) out of fear of being sent back to his abusive father. In the struggle to retake the weapon, Jackson takes an accidental shot to the leg. The Glock is then taken by Lester Dewitt (Usher Raymond), who demands everyone leave the school except for himself, Jackson, Ziggy, and four other students, resulting in the hostage situation that lasts the majority of the film. In a few shots, a flashbulb-firing Non-Gun can be seen standing in for the real Glock 19.
