SIG-Sauer P226

Beretta 92FS

Beretta 92FS pistols are used by many characters, including criminals and police officers, notably by a terrorist to kill three Secret Service agents in a hospital, despite the fact that in real life the agents would wear body armor and the shots were going through an elevator door.

AR-15 Carbine Variants

  • FBI HRT teams and several local police forces have M4A1 carbines.
  • A militia member is seen with one holding a hostage on a hilltop. A killer guns down 3 of his enemies with a fully automatic AR-15, possibly class 3 or illegally converted since it is described as privately owned.
  • A shooter uses a scoped AR-15 from the trunk of a car, aiming to wound people so he can attend to the wounds as part of a hero complex reminiscent of D.C. sniper incident.

Another weapon used by the cult is the AKMSU carbine, notably the leader (Luke Perry).

Smith & Wesson 4506

A older model Smith & Wesson 4506 with the square trigger guard and frame bulge is used by the polygamist cult leader. An arsonist also uses one, but refuses to use it noticing the benzene-filled building would explode from the muzzle flash.

Glock 26

Hotchner's backup gun is a Glock 26, carried in an ankle holster. Hotchner tricks the "Long Distance Serial Killer" into letting him beat Reid, but the kicks are a ruse to allow Reid to take the gun from Hotchner's ankle holster.

Beretta 950 Jetfire

A terror cell kills several civilians and and one member wounds a detective, using Beretta 950 Jetfire pistols. Police ballistic analysts state it is chambered in .22 long rifle, and explains the caliber was most likely used since NYC background noise was often louder than the report of a .22lr.
