The [[Smith_%26_Wesson_Model_36_/_38#Smith_.26_Wesson_Model_36_.22Chiefs_Special.22|Smith & Wesson Model 36]] is the revolver carried by LAPD Detective Ray Tango ([[Sylvester Stallone]]). In an homage to Jackie Chan's ''[[Police Story]]'', he uses it in the opening sequence when facing down an approaching big rig that is transporting cocaine. He appears to be able to hit the windshield, and make a tight group, from a long distance, despite the poor sights on the gun. Tango also is seen taking the Model 36 from Federal Agent Wyler ([[Lewis Arquette]]) during a confrontation. Tango later gives Cash his revolver during the quarry chase.

Tango & Cash is a 1989 action film starring Sylvester Stallone and Kurt Russell as mismatched LAPD narcotics detectives who reluctantly join forces to catch the individuals behind who set them up to take the fall for the murder of a federal agent.
The following weapons were used in the film Tango & Cash:
The Smith & Wesson Model 36 is the revolver carried by LAPD Detective Ray Tango (Sylvester Stallone). In an homage to Jackie Chan's Police Story, he uses it in the opening sequence when facing down an approaching big rig that is transporting cocaine. He appears to be able to hit the windshield, and make a tight group, from a long distance, despite the poor sights on the gun. Tango also is seen taking the Model 36 from Federal Agent Wyler (Lewis Arquette) during a confrontation. Tango later gives Cash his revolver during the quarry chase.
Other FBI agents who confront Tango and Cash are armed with Smith & Wesson Model 10 revolvers.
Error creating thumbnail: File missingSmith & Wesson Model 10 HB (heavy barrel) revolver (Post 1950s Model) - .38 Special. Later incarnations of the Model 10 had a non-tapered heavy barrel, which leads it to be commonly mistaken for a .357 revolver.Error creating thumbnail: File missingTango & Cash are confronted by federal agents, one of them brandishing a S&W Model 15 (on the far left).
Ruger GP100
A Ruger GP100 revolver is carried by LAPD Detective Gabriel Cash (Kurt Russell). It's a stainless steel version fitted with an Imatronic LS45 laser sight.
The Browning Hi-Power can be seen being used by Cash (Kurt Russell). An error can be noticed in the roof scene. Cash pulls the slide back to put a round in the chamber, but the slide stays opened. In the following scene, the pistol is pointed at Requin's leg, but now the slide is locked. In the next scene however, the slide is open again.
A stainless steel Walther PPK/S is Cash's backup gun. When he takes his handgun from his drawer, he mentions the someone must be messing with his gun because the sights are off. In this Walter, the rear sight is dovetailed into the slide and adjustable, but the front sight is fixed. When it is later found at a crime scene, the gun is fitted with a sound suppressor.

Interestingly, this shot shows how camera angles are often used to make it seem like weapons are being held to an actor's head when actually, due to safety reasons, they are not - on the right side of the picture Jack Palance appears to be holding the gun to Teri Hatcher's temple, but from the left you can see he's actually holding it in front of her.Error creating thumbnail: File missingPerret with the PT92
A heavily modified Heckler & Koch MP5A4 is seen used by both Tango & Cash at the end of the film. The weapon is housed in a custom shell, and is seen fitted with large scope, laser sight and with custom grips.
A Remington 870 folding stock is used by Cash to get the information from audio tech Skinner (Michael Jeter). The shotgun is also used by some of the prison guards when Tango & Cash escape.
The M16A1 rifle can be seen both in the video about Det. Tango and used by some of Perret's guards, as well as in the warehouse. M16A1 rifles were also seen in the hands of the prison guards during Tango & Cash's escape attempt.
The vehicle Tango & Cash "borrow" is fitted with a what appears to be a six-barreled Gatling-type weapon. Judging from the bore, the weapon's caliber appears to be 30mm. Though rotary barrel auto cannons appear all over the world in similar calibers (mostly mounted on gunships) this is a purely fantasy weapon.
The assault vehicle driven by Cash also appears to have front-mounted machine guns.

Other
Shooting Boot
Cash is seen keeping a concealed firearm in the heel of his right boot. He uses this when confronting the Chinese gunman as well as later in the film.
During an interrogation, an M67 hand grenade is seen taped to the mouth of Requin (Brion James). Another grenade is held by Cash during a fight with Requin.
