== M14 Rifle ==

The [[M14 Rifle|M14 rifle]] features prominently in the U.S. Marine training scenes of ''[[Full Metal Jacket]]''. Once the Marines arrive in Vietnam they are issued [[M16 rifle series|M16]]s. It is with an M14 rifle locked and loaded with full metal jacketed 7.62x51mm NATO ammo that Pvt. Leonard "Gomer Pyle" Lawrence ([[Vincent D'Onofrio]]) kills both Gunnery Sgt. Hartman ([[R. Lee Ermey]]) and himself.

== M16 Rifle ==

The [[M16 rifle series#M16 Rifle|M16 rifle]] appears in the film as the standard-issue weapon of most of the US Marines in Vietnam. Several of them can be seen with two magazines taped together "jungle style", as this is where this practice originated prior to the introduction of higher-capacity 30-round magazines for the M16. During his encounter with the VC sniper, Pvt. Joker's rifle jams on him, something early M16's were notorious for due to poor maintenance habits and design faults with the early variants('''The US Army/USMC in Vietnam were told "It doesnt need cleaning"''').It should also be noted that the M16 rifle that jams on Joker([[Matthew Modine]]) is an MGC M16 rifle - a steel and plastic replica rifle made by the Model Gun Company of Japan.

== M60 ==

The Doorgunner ([[Tim Colceri]]) on the helicopter that takes Joker ([[Matthew Modine]]) and Rafterman ([[Kevyn Major Howard]]) to join Pvt. Cowboy's ([[Arliss Howard]]) 1st Platoon repeatedly fires an [[M60 machine gun]] at random Vietnamese they pass. The M60 is also the weapon Animal Mother ([[Adam Baldwin]]) carries throughout ''[[Full Metal Jacket]]''. Pvt. Joker can also be seen firing an M60 when their base is attacked at the start of the Tet Offensive.

== M1911A1 ==

Pvt. Joker draws his [[M1911 pistol series#M1911A1|M1911A1]] pistol after his [[M16 rifle series|M16 rifle]] jams on him. He uses the .45 to "waste" the already-wounded VC sniper.

== Sa vz 58 ==

The VC sniper ([[Ngoc Le]]) that "wastes" Eightball ([[Dorian Harewood]]), Cowboy ([[Arliss Howard]]) and Doc Jay ([[Jon Stafford]]) is armed with a Czec made[[Sa vz 58]]. It should be also noted that the Sa vz 58 series rifles were commonly used by the Việt Cộng and the North Vietnamese Army alongside the more predominant AK-47 and SKS rifles,all used the Soviet 7.62X39 round.

We briefly see a U.S. Marine firing a 66mm [[M72 LAW]] at the VC Sniper's ([[Ngoc Le]]) position.

==Browning M2HB Heavy Machine Gun==

Several [[Browning M2|Browning M2HB]] heavy machine guns mounted on M41A Walker Bulldog tanks are seen firing in the background of several scenes.

== Daisy Red Ryder ==
Crazy Earl carries a lever action [[Daisy Red Ryder BB gun]] in addition to his [[M16 rifle series|M-16]] throughout the movie, as carried by his character in the book on which the film is based, ''The Short Timers'',although we never see it closely:

Though most of the weaponry used by Special Unit 2 members, including their Tactical teams, were science fiction based 'special weapons' designed to kill creatures known an 'links'. Real firearms were occasionally used. Most real firearms were seen wielded by criminals or the regular uniformed Chicago Police officers, those who were not part of the elite 'monster hunting' unit.

She later draws it to try to arrest Nick O'Malley before she realizes who he is.

==Claridge Hi-Tec/Goncz GA-9==
* Seen modified into sci fi pistols at the Special Unit 2 Armory in the HQ - Season 1, Episode 6

==Glock 17==

==SIG-Sauer P220==
* Seen wielded by Chicago Police Uniformed officers, which is actually an approved duty sidearm for the department.

He actually fires 9 shots out of the pistol. It has the higher profile front sight and adjustable rear sight.

==Ithaca Model 37==
* Twin short barreled Ithaca Model 37 shotguns with MP5K style foregrips are carried by the 'housewife' ([[Jennifer Clement]]) when she is under the influence of 'the sandman' in Season 2, Episode 1 "The Grain".
