Colors is a 1988 crime drama directed by Dennis Hopper and starring Robert Duvall and Sean Penn as LAPD officers assigned to CRASH ("Community Resources Against Street Hoodlums"), the department's controversial anti-gang unit at the time. The film is notable for being one of the first Hollywood attempts to realistically depict the Los Angeles gang problem (the production hired actual LAPD officers and former gang members as extras for the film). Colors also featured many now well-known actors in minor supporting roles including Don Cheadle, Damon Wayans, and Glenn Plummer, all of whom played gang members here.

The following weapons were used in the film Colors:

+==Beretta 92F==
+LAPD Senior Officer Bob Hodges ([[Robert Duvall]]) carries a [[Beretta 92F]] as his service pistol throughout the movie, which was just entering service with the LAPD at the time of the film. Several other LAPD officers can be seen using the Beretta, and at least one gang-banger also uses one during the shootout at the climax.

+[[Image:Vlcsnap-419991.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Another CRASH officer firing his Beretta in the climax.]]
+==Taurus PT99 AF==
+Hodges can also be seen using a [[Taurus PT92#PT99|Taurus PT99 AF]], the adjustable sight version of the [[PT92]], during the scene where CRASH busts the drug dealer Oso (C.E. Grimes) at his residence. This is a continuity error (read below), as in all other scenes, Hodges' carries the Beretta 92F. Several gang members are also seen wielding Tauruses.
+'''''Trivia Note:''' Several Berettas and Taurus' were on the set of this film. While getting ready for the scene, [[Robert Duvall]], not being a firearm aficionado, picked up what he thought was a Beretta just like he had been using. By the time someone realized the error it was too late to fix it. This is an honest mistake since the two firearms look very similar - Anyone who did not already know the difference would not know.''

+==Smith & Wesson 39==
+A [[Smith & Wesson 39]] can be seen on a table when the Crip DeVille 'bangers are loading up their weapons and planning to kill McGavin.

+=Shotguns=
+==Ithaca 37==
+When McGavin and Hodges confront the 21st Street Gang after one of its members, Felipe (Romeo De Lan), throws a rock at their car, McGavin takes out an [[Ithaca 37]] extended mag-tube riot model (specifically, the LAPD version with rifle sights). Hodges tells him to put the shotgun back in the car, embarrassing him. Later in the film, when the 21st Street Gang gets busted, several other LAPD officers can be seen with identical shotguns.

 ==Remington 870==
+A sawed-off [[Remington 870]] is seen several times in the film. A Remington is first taken from house of Oso (C.E. Grimes). A full-size pistol-gripped Remington later appears again in the hands of at least one 21st Street Gang member in the final shootout. This may also be the shotgun that Rocket ([[Don Cheadle]]) uses in the drive-by shooting at the beginning of the movie, though this is uncertain.

+==Micro Uzi==
+The [[Micro Uzi]] is depicted in the film as the weapon-of-choice for many of the gang-bangers. Rocket ([[Don Cheadle]]), the leader of the Crip gang in the movie, and Larry "Looney Tunes" Sylvester ([[Grand L.
