Jurors concluded Mr Duggan did not have a gun when he was shot by officers.
They also said it was more likely than not that Mr Duggan had thrown a gun from a taxi just before he was killed. The weapon was found about 20ft (6m) away from the scene.
The panel of seven women and three men said police had not done enough to gather and react to intelligence about the possibility of Mr Duggan collecting a gun from Kevin Hutchinson-Foster, who has since been found guilty of supplying the firearm.
But the jury said the taxi had been stopped in a location and in a way that "minimised to the greatest extent possible recourse to lethal force".
'Worth nothing'
Following the verdict his mother Pamela Duggan was led out of the court in tears, while Mr Duggan's brother was seen screaming and shouting.
One man shouted: "A black life ain't worth nothing."
BBC News home affairs correspondent Dominic Casciani tweeted: "I don't think I have ever heard of a jury, performing their civic duty, being abused in court by members of the public."
Following the conclusion to the inquest, an Independent Police Complaints Commission (IPCC) spokesperson said: "We note the inquest jury's determination and findings and we are considering them as a matter of urgency in relation to our ongoing investigation."
But a family spokeswoman said: "We can't believe this was the outcome. He had no gun in his hand, yet he was murdered."
After Mr Duggan was shot, rioting spread across London and other parts of England in what became some of the worst disturbances in decades.

Before the verdicts were read out, the coroner thanked the jury and told them they will be excused from future jury service for life if they want.
