The following weapons were used in the film The Lost World: Jurassic Park:

LAR Grizzly Big-Bore

Roland Tembo (Pete Postlethwaite) is seen in the film using an LAR Grizzly Big-Bore, made out to be a single shot tranquilizer gun. Sarah Harding (Julianne Moore) is later seen using the same tranquilizer rifle to shoot the T-rex while in San Diego. Some of the hunters are also seen using LAR Grizzlies, outfitted with dual pully drums and made to look like grapple firing guns. This may be the big rocket launcher used by Robert Muldoon on the Tyrannosaur in the first Jurassic Park novel, but when Muldoon uses the big gun, it takes two hours to take effect on the dinosaur, but that was described as a shoulder fired weapon that uses tranquilizer rockets.

-Roland Tembo ([[Pete Postlethwaite]]) keeps a [[.600 Nitro Express|.600 Nitro double barreled rifle]], a well known large/high-caliber rifle for large and dangerous game hunting, which seems fitting for use on a Tyrannosaurus Rex. These weapons are often referred to simply as a "double." Although considered an old-fashioned weapon, the big-bore double is often the arm of choice for experienced hunters, as it allows a very fast follow up shot on charging animals, though the trade off is that it holds fewer rounds.

-Two examples were made for the production of this movie by Searcy in the U.S.  Steven Spielberg is said to own one of them himself. The location of the other is unknown, but no doubt in the hands of a collector or hunter. These two examples are "real" and meant to be used, and, as with most high-grade double rifles, their value is in the area of many thousands (over $55,000, given their provenance) of dollars each.

Both rifles made for the movie are real and fully functional. As with all double rifles, the intense amount of time and labor to make them dictates a price tag of several tens-of-thousands of dollars.
