==Smith & Wesson 3913NL ==
Detective James Edwards (Will Smith) can be seen carrying a Smith & Wesson 3913NL as his weapon of choice, drawing it several times while pursuing a disguised alien on foot, using it to shoot open the door of a building (the Guggenheim) the alien had jumped onto the roof of. He then pulls it on Agent K (Tommy Lee Jones) when K disintegrates the head of Jack Jeebs (Tony Shalhoub). Though the pistol looks identical to the S&W 3913LS "Lady Smith", there are several scenes in the movie that show the right hand side of the slide which does not have "Lady Smith" inscribed - These models were released subsequent to the LS and were given the model ID S&W 3913NL for "No Logo" or "Non-LadySmith".

== Ruger Super Redhawk ==
As the alien (nicknamed "the bug" by the MiB), disguised as Edgar (Vincent D'Onofrio), is searching New York City for "the galaxy", a tow truck driver (Peter Linari) prepares to tow a pest exterminator van stolen by the bug. When the bug confronts the driver with Edgar's shotgun, the driver pulls out a Ruger Super Redhawk, thinking the sight of the revolver would intimidate him, though is fatally mistaken when the bug kills him and takes both his gun and his tow truck.

==SIG-Sauer P225 (Non Gun)==
During the agent selection process at MiB headquarters, the candidates, consisting of several elite U.S. military personnel and Detective Edwards, are placed on a firing range and tasked with engaging a series of targets in a "Hogan's Alley"-esque scenario using "Non Gun" replicas of SIG-Sauer P225s. The military personnel begin firing numerous rounds at all the alien targets, while Edwards fires only one round into a target made to look like a little girl. When asked why he shot that target, he pointed out how the alien targets appeared not to be posing a threat, while the target he shot was holding science textbooks for subjects far too advanced for her age.

== Winchester Model 1897 ==
A Winchester Model 1897 shotgun appears as the weapon of choice of Edgar (Vincent D'Onofrio), who wields it when investigating an alien crash-landing on his farm. The bug orders him to place the weapon on the ground, to which Edgar responds by chambering a round and stating that the alien can have his gun "when you pry it from my cold, dead fingers." The bug then kills and skins Edgar, taking his skin as a disguise and also taking the shotgun, brandishing it several times throughout the rest of the film.
