One of Rudd's henchmen, an assassin named Pieter Vorstedt ([[Derrick O'Connor]]) can be seen using a [[Walther PP Pistol Series#Walther PPK|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 it with a silencer. The second time he doesn't have the silencer, though Riggs crushes him with a cargo container before he can fire it.

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

Lethal Weapon 2 (1989)


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.

Smith & Wesson 5906

In addition to his Smith & Wesson Model 19, Murtaugh also carries a Smith & Wesson 5906 in a shoulder holster. It can be seen better in Lethal Weapon 3.

Beretta 92SB-C

During the raid of the South African residence, Detective Collins (Grand L. Bush) can be seen wielding a Beretta 92SB-C. Not a 92FS Centurion or a 92FS Compact, as they weren't released until 1992, and since this film was released in 1989, it would have to be a 92SB Compact Version. It is also noted as a 92SB-C by its rounded trigger guard.

The Heckler & Koch 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.

The Heckler & Koch 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 commandeered by Riggs and Murtaugh and turned against their owners.
