Revision as of 08:12, 12 September 2009

The following weapons were used in the film Lethal Weapon 2:



















Beretta 92FS

Just as in the original Lethal Weapon, the Beretta 92FS is the primary sidearm of Detective Martin Riggs (Mel Gibson), and as such is used frequently throughout the film. In a memorable scene, Riggs empties the magazine of his Beretta into one of the main villain's henchmen while saying the names of his friends and loved ones the villain and his henchmen had killed. Other LAPD detectives are also seen with Berettas.

Smith & Wesson Model 19

The Smith & Wesson Model 19 appears as the primary weapon of Detective Roger Murtaugh (Danny Glover). In a move reminiscent of the first Lethal Weapon film, Murtaugh can be seen rolling his neck before taking out the main villain with a single shot from his weapon.

Although it can be seen better in Lethal Weapon 3, Murtaugh also carries a Smith & Wesson 5906 in a shoulder holster in this movie

Beretta 92FS Compact

During the raid on the villains' home, a member of Riggs & Murtaugh's team can be seen wielding a Beretta 92FS Compact. Not a Centurion, as that wasn't released until 1992, and since this film was released in 1989, it would have to be a Compact Version.

H&K MP5K

The H&K MP5K appears in the film as one of the weapons used by the main villain's henchmen, first seen in the South African embassy being carried under a coat via a shoulder sling, then again aboard the cargo vessel Alba Varden during the final battle.

H&K MP5A3

The H&K MP5A3 appears in the film as another weapon used by the main villain's henchmen, first during the raid on Riggs' beachfront mobile home (seen with and without brass catchers), then again during the final battle aboard the Alba Varden, two of which are comandeered by Riggs and Murtaugh and turned against their owners.

Mauser C96 Bolo?

During the final battle aboard the Alba Varden, the main villain, Arjen Rudd (Joss Ackland) fires on Riggs with a Mauser C96, seriously wounding him before running out of ammunition.

Has anyone ever noticed in Lethal Weapon 3 when Riggs is showing of his scars he refers to the bullet holes as "a family of .44s"? Was he just trying to make i seem like he got wounded worse than he did or was this just an error on the filmmakers?

If one is inclined towards realism then the filmakers didn't do their research and failed to learn that the C96 was never chambered for a 44 caliber round. But if one wants to follow through with the movie Riggs was trying to outbrag about injuries so it could be argued he was infalting the truth.

Very good point.


If you look at the scars in the 3rd film, you'll notice they are in a fairly close group, all on his back. It's doubtful that Rudd hit him that well, especially considering after the first shot/hit from Rudd, Riggs went down and the further bullet hits were while he was on his back in the scene.

With that, and the fact the C.96 was indeed never a .44 caliber weapon, it's quite plausible Riggs was telling the truth and the scars could very well have been from some other shootout that didn't happen in either of the previous films. Just a thought.

There was however a chinese version of the C-96 in .45, which is fairly darned close.

Walther PPK

One of Rudd's henchmen, an assassin named Pieter Vorstedt (Derrick O'Connor) can be seen using a Walther PPK in several scenes; first when he assassinates one of the officers in Riggs & Murtaughs' unit, then during the battle aboard the Alba Varden. The first time he uses it he fits a silencer on it, and the second time he uses it without the silencer, though is crushed by a cargo container Riggs drops on him before he can fire it.

Sig Sauer P220 pistol series

A supressed Sig Sauer P220 or P226 is used by one of Rudd's henchmen, when he tries to murder Leo Getz (Joe Pesci) in the hotel room while posing as room service.

It's My considered opinion, that this is a P220, it looks too thin to be a P226 ~ Revolver

It might also be a P225, single stack.
