End of Watch is a 2012 cop thriller starring Jake Gyllenhaal and Michael Peña as a pair of LAPD officers who find themselves the target of a merciless drug cartel. The film is in part seen through the video footage shot from the camera the officers carry wherever they go as well as by the cartel's own cameras. The film was directed by David Ayer (Training Day, Street Kings), who insisted that Gyllenhaal and Pena go on numerous ridealongs with actual LAPD officers.
The following weapons were used in the film End of Watch:
Handguns
Glock 22
LAPD officers in the film, including Police Officer II Brian Taylor (Jake Gyllenhaal) and Police Officer II Zavala (Michael Peña), carry Glock 22s fitted with Surefire X300 weapon lights; even though Brian erroneously identifies his weapon as a Glock 19 in the locker scene near the beginning.
Police Officer II Brian Taylor (
Jake Gyllenhaal) shows off his Glock to the camera. He identifies it as a "Glock 19" despite the obvious "22" imprint.
Officer Taylor draws his Glock during a traffic stop. Note his proper trigger discipline and the visible X300 logo on the weaponlight.

Custom Colt Combat Commander
A custom ornately engraved and plated Colt Combat Commander is carried by a criminal who draws it during a traffic stop.
Looking at the pistol's magazine (laying on the table near the golden AK in the police office scene), it's a 9mm caliber.

Shotguns
Remington 870
Several LAPD officers are seen throughout the film armed with Remington 870 shotguns sporting black synthetic furniture. Sarge (Frank Grillo) also fires a Remington 870 when confronting a heavily-armed group of gangsters.

Something worth noting is that both officers appear to be correctly wearing body armor underneath their uniforms, which is a rarity in many police films. These were actual ballistic vests and not props, as insisted by the director. The man outside the car wearing the red jacket is Cle Shaheed "Bone" Sloan, an actor (and former gangster) who appears in many of David Ayer's films.
Rifles
AKMS
AKMS rifles are used by members of the Curbside gang. Officer Zavala can also be seen with what calls "Liberace's AK", a gold plated AKMS with faux ivory furniture which he finds during a traffic stop. According to director David Ayer, the gold AKMS was a painted airsoft replica.
