The following weapons are featured in the NBC television series E-Ring:
The Beretta 92FS is used by a Marine to hold off an angry mob in S01E05, "Weekend Pass", after he and his friend are falsely accused of raping a young girl in Suriname.
Glock 17 pistols are frequently used by main cast members, including Major James Tisnewski (Benjamin Bratt), Captain Bobby Wilkerson (Kerr Smith) and Sergeant Charlie Guitierrez (Maurice Compte). Angie Aronson (Kate Oldershaw) also uses a Glock 17 when she prepares to assassinate Colombian drug lord Alejandro Aguilar in S01E08, "Cemetery Wind (2)".
Glock 19 pistols are also often shown throughout the series in the hands of the main cast members. CIA agent John Haines (Matthew Glave) also carries a Glock 19 in S01E10, "The Forgotten", as does a MI6 agent in S01E12, "The Breath of Allah".
A Heckler & Koch USP Tactical is used by a Special Forces soldier to shoot arms dealer Sergei Dima in S01E06, "Toy Soldiers". According to JT, the pistol is supposed to be a "SMN-6", a non-lethal tranquilizer gun.
A Bosnian Serb kidnapper in S01E13, "War Crimes", is armed with a SIG-Sauer P228. JT also uses a P228 while interrogating prisoners in S01E19, "Hard Cell".
Scoped and suppressed Heckler & Koch UMP submachine guns are used by Special Forces soldiers raiding Sergei Dima's Transnistrian villa in S01E06, "Toy Soldiers".
An Uzi submachine gun is seen on a table during a police raid of an Amsterdam brothel in S01E13, "The Breath of Allah". In S01E21, "Isolation", an Uzi submachine gun is used by terrorists during a bloody shootout on the Texas-Mexico border.
AKM rifles are used by Iraqi insurgents who capture JT during an ambush in S01E03, "Escape and Evade". After being taken across the border to Iran, JT seizes an AKM from his captors and uses it when fleeing from soldiers of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps.
Actually, due to the hooded sight it is a Norinco Type 56 with an AIM-style handguard.
Norinco Type 56-1
Several Taliban militants are armed with Norinco Type 56-1 rifles in S01E11, "Christmas Story". In S01E16 - "Fallen Angels", Charlie uses a Type 56-1 before being knocked out
In S01E13, "War Crimes", a Serbian gunman is armed with a AKS-74U carbine with a laser device and a scope. JT, Bobby and several other Special Forces soldiers also use AKS-74Us in S01E16, "Fallen Angels". Although used for reasons of plausible deniability, the choice seems strange since Venezuela does not use 5.45mm weapons.
Pakistani SSG soldiers are armed with FN FAL 50.63 paratrooper rifles in S01E15, "Five Pillars". Mexican cartel snipers are also armed with FN FAL 50.63s in episodes 21 and 22.

The use of the FN FAL is inaccurate, since Pakistani commandos in reality tend to use Heckler & Koch G3 or Norinco Type 56 rifles.
Heckler & Koch G36C
One of Alejandro Aguilar's bodyguards in S01E08, "Cemetery Wind (2)", is armed with a Heckler & Koch G36C.
Maya (Yasmine Delawari) uses a Kel-Tec SU-16 rifle with a fake suppressor, pistol grip and EOTech sight during a Special Forces operation in S01E21, "Isolation" and S01E22, "Acceptable Losses".
U.S Marine embassy guards in Suriname are armed with M16A2 rifles in S01E05, "Weekend Pass". Delta Force operators posing as Suriname Army soldiers also carry M16A2s while rescuing the trapped Marines.
Jared Vogel (Adam Kaufman), leader of a radical Christian group that seizes a mosque in Detroit, is armed with a Ruger Mini-14 in S01E09, "Delta Does Detroit".
