List of police firearms in Malaysia

Within the Royal Malaysian Police, officers and personnel are not routinely armed. Special police officers are usually trained to a higher standard than regular personnel, because they are likely to be the officers required to enter besieged premises. The vast majority of firearms used by the Malaysian Police are semi-automatic and fully automatic.

Use Order
Following an Inspector-General of Police Firm Order D222, firearm use was deemed as needed. For example, using firearms to dismiss an illegal assembly or riot as shown in the Public Security manual. Use of firearms may be needed to repel an attack on top police station or police observation posts. Also, firearms could be used when an officer and/or members may be killed or hurt or weapons seized/station or property captured or destroyed. Additionally, prisoner escape could warrant such use. Police officers can use the firearm during roadblock duty or Narcotics Department operations, Criminal Investigation Department, Traffic Police and all branches that are carrying out duties where policeman life or public property is in jeopardy.

Standard weapons
Firearms in service vary between police forces in Malaysia, due to individual Constables and Police Authorities dictating the number of firearms officers and police firearms available to each force.

Despite being armed, police constables still carry the standard issue T-batons, pepper spray and Hiatts Speedcuffs as well as Walther P99 standard issue sidearm.

The following standard firearms are commonly issued to Royal Malaysian Police officers.

Specialist weapons
In some circumstances, special firearms can be authorised for use in police special operations and counter-terrorism unit. The following have in the past been on issue to special operations.
