= Revolvers =
== Colt Detective Special ==
[[Colt Detective Special]] revolvers are used by Lee Barrett ([[George Maharis]]), the head of SDI (a fictional special service) Eric Cavanaugh (Richard Bull) and his subordinates, Ainsley's henchman Veretti ([[Edward Asner]]) and the pilot (Michael Barrier) of Ainsley's helicopter.

== Smith & Wesson Model 36 ==
When Veretti ([[Edward Asner]]) holds at gunpoint Barrett and Ann Williams in the minivan, his revolver switches to a [[Smith & Wesson Model 36]] due to a continuity error. SDI agents, as well as one of the Ainsley's henchman, posing as an SDI agent, also use S&W 36 revolvers. Lee Barrett ([[George Maharis]]) seizes the revolver of the said fake agent in the climactic scene.

== Smith & Wesson Model 10 ==
Security guards of the Station Three lab and police officers carry revolvers in holsters. [[Smith & Wesson Model 10]] seems to be a decent guess.

Ainsley's henchman Donald ([[Frank Sutton]]) is armed with a [[Luger P08]], fitted with a perforated barrel shroud. The reason of this custom element is unclear. Maybe the pistol was dressed as a kind of futuristic weapon for some sci-fi movie of that time and then used in this film. When the pistol fires, there is only a faint smoke from the barrel, but the jointed arm moves, so this is not a toy gun.<br>In one scene captured Lee Barrett ([[George Maharis]]) makes an attempt to escape, disarms Donald and seizes the pistol (it is seen very blurry in his hands) but in turn he is disarmed by Veretti (Edward Asner).

= Shotguns =
== Remington Model 870 ==
Two SDI agents who try to intercept the minivan of Ainsley's henchmen are armed with [[Remington Model 870]] shotguns. During the confrontation they have to surrender the guns, and Donald ([[Frank Sutton]]) takes a shotgun. Remington 870 shotguns are also used by SDI agents and police officers in other scenes.
