Franchi SPAS-12
In "Z-9000" (S2E02), a fake Argentine soldier is briefly seen carrying a Franchi SPAS-12 in the operation against Carlos Lorenzo (Luis Luque).

Remington Model 1867 Rolling Block
What appears to be a Remington Model 1867 Rolling Block Carbine appears in "Un trabajo involuntario" (S1E13) in the hands of a prison security guard. This rifle is highly antiquated for the early 2000s setting (with its last recorded use being during the First World War) and it is not elaborated why a prison guard would be using one.
Ruger Mini-14 F
In the climax of "Z-2000" (S2E02), Milazzo visits a gun store where he is introduced to a Ruger Mini-14 F with stainless steel finish.
Unknown Rifle
During "Un trabajo involuntario" (S1E13), a prison guard uses an unknown rifle while guiding Medina through the facility. It's probably some .22 LR rifle due to its size. Like the aforementioned Rolling Block, a .22 LR rifle would be quite an inappropriate weapon for modern law enforcement use.
Other
TV Guns
When Milazzo watches TV to see an advertisement for a military reality show, the latter uses clips from an unidentified film starring Chuck Norris (who can be seen throwing a grenade) and from the film Commando.
