Lt. Marion 'Cobra' Cobretti ([[Sylvester Stallone]]) is to said to also carry an [[ASP 9]], most likely as a backup gun. In the current release of the film the ASP 9 is not ever seen being used.

Captain Sears ([[Art LaFleur]]) and Detective Monte ([[Andrew Robinson]]) are seen carrying [[Smith & Wesson Model 36]]s at the beginning of the film. Nancy Stalk ([[Lee Garlington]]) is also seen using one towards the end of the film.
The Jatimatic is a Finnish 9 mm submachine gun developed in the late 1970s and early 1980s by Jali Timari. The submachine gun made its debut in 1983. The Jatimatic was manufactured in very limited numbers (approx. 400) initially by Tampereen Asepaja Oy of Tampere and later - Oy Golden Gun Ltd (as the GG-95 PDW, re-introduced unsuccessfully in 1995). The firearm was designed primarily for police, security forces and armored vehicle crews. It was never adopted into service by the Finnish Defence Forces, although the later GG-95 PDW version was tested by the FDF in the 1990s; the conclusion of the tests was that the GG-95 was not suitable as a service weapon.

Submachine Guns

Jatimatic SMG

The Jatimatic SMG is used by Cobra in the movie. In several scenes the Jatimatic is seen fitted with an early model Laser Products Corp. (today known as Surefire) laser sight - most likely a LPC Model 7.

The Jatimatic is a Finnish 9mm submachine gun developed in the late 1970s and early 1980s by Jali Timari, making its debut in 1983, manufactured (initially) by Tampereen Asepaja Oy (TAO) and later by Oy Golden Gun Ltd (as the GG-95 PDW, re-introduced unsuccessfully in 1995). Cobra marked one of the few prominent appearances of the weapon in media.
