Dark Angel was a science-fiction series that was co-created by James Cameron and starred Jessica Alba (in her first leading role) as a genetically-enhanced super soldier who escapes as a young girl from a secret government facility and works in the underground resistance to take down the government agency that created her. The series ran for two seasons on the FOX network and co-starred Michael Weatherly.
The following weapons were used in the television series Dark Angel:
Handguns
Beretta 92FS
The Beretta 92FS is seen as the sidearm of the police, military, and various thug factions.

Zack opens fire on the guards.
The magazine drops free as he reloads. It's possible to see in this image that the Beretta 93R has a slide-mounted safety, which means that it is a Beretta 92FS mocked up as a 93R.
Taurus PT92CS (modified)
In "Some Assembly Required" (S2E7), Cyborg Zack carries a Taurus PT92CS fitted with a custom-built compensator. This is the exact same gun that was originally carried by Mark Dacascos in the movie Crying Freeman (both productions had the same armorers).

Rifles
M16A2
Military and occasionally the police carried M16A2s. There are no real M16A2s on the show, however; all of those seen in non-firing scenes were Tokyo Marui airsoft replicas. The firing M16s on the show were mostly Colt Model 715s.

Olmypic Arms K4B - 5.56x45mm. This rifle is very similar to the
Colt Model 715, but is distinguished by the "Stowaway" pistol grip, a feature often found on Olympic Arms AR-15 rifles made in the 1990s. Rifles similar to this one are frequently seen in productions filmed in British Columbia.

Zack carries a Colt Model 609 carbine in the Season 1 episode " Hit a Sista Back". He later uses the weapon, along with Syl (Nicki Aycox) and Krit during the raid on Manticore in the Season 1 finale "And Jesus Brought a Casserole". X7 child soldiers carry the Model 609 as well, as do some young X5s in a flashback. At least in season 2, and probably in season 1 they appear to be mostly airsoft replicas (Probably Tokyo Maru like with the M16A2s), since they are seldom fired and are being used by minors.

Other
Arcade Guns
In "Brainiac" (S2E10), a number of light guns can be seen that resemble actual firearms in the unnamed video arcade that hosts the S1W resistance group. Two appear to be modelled like a short-barrelled PSG-1 with a large scope but no magazine or magazine well.
Given the "KONAMI" logo embossed on the handguard (focussed on in a panning shot in what could be an example of product placement) and the two-player setup with two identical light guns on the same cabinet side-by-side, the arcade cabinet in question appears to be Silent Scope 2: Dark Silhouette. This is supported by how the title was a 2-player-capable game released for arcades by Konami in 2000, mounting similar light guns as those seen in the episode (the ingame player characters used modelled PSG-1 rifles as well).
This episode also featured a gameplay cameo of the PC title Aliens vs. Predator 2, masquerading as an arcade cabinet.
Arcade Cop (Simon Longmore):
"Yo Mikey, check me out man, I'm winning!"Two other arcade patrons can be seen behind the policemen using light guns possibly modelled after real firearms, while Max can be seen in the far back taking advantage of the cops' distraction to infiltrate what used to be the resistance group's hideout.
The reason why one might use a light gun's sniper scope at a screen not three feet away is because
Silent Scope 2 used a screen setup unique among light gun games of its time, where the main screen showed what someone using their naked eyes would see at the area covered by a sniper (an offscreen spotter did highlight hostile targets), while a screen inside the fake PSG-1's scope would show a magnified view of the scene as though it were a real sniper scope, forcing players to peer through it to accurately make their ingame shots.
