Airplane II: The Sequel, is the 1982 sequel to the 1980 comedy classic, Airplane!. The writers and directors of Airplane!, David Zucker, Jim Abrahams and Jerry Zucker, refused to take part, and claim to have never even watched Airplane II. The film brings back the two leads from Airplane!, Robert Hays and Julie Hagerty, as well as some supporting actors, like Lloyd Bridges, Peter Graves, Stephen Stucker, Al White (one of the Jive Dudes) and Lee Bryant (the hysterical lady.) Chuck Connors, Rip Torn, John Vernon, Sonny Bono, Raymond Burr, and William Shatner round out the all-star cast. Whereas Airplane! was a spoof of Zero Hour! and the Airport movies, Airplane II was pretty much just a spoof of Airplane! That, the recycling of jokes ("The sun, what is it?!" "A large, fiery ball at the center of our solar system, but that's not important now.") and the lack of participation from the original creators, causes Airplane II to be an afterthought in the minds of many compared to the original.
The following guns were used in the movie Airplane II: The Sequel (1982)
Handguns
Smith & Wesson Model 13
The porter (Kenneth O'Brien) shoots Jimmy's dog, Scraps, with a Smith & Wesson Model 13 only to reveal a second later that he's using blanks. This is the only gun that fires onscreen in this film.
Walther P38
An off-screen actor holds a Walther P38 pistol to the Moscow anchorman's head. After screen cuts away, a gunshot is heard, but the anchorman shows up alive towards the end. This may be an MGC Man from U.N.C.L.E replica.
Various revolvers
During Ted's stay in the psychiatric hospital, his fellow patients pull out revolvers and put them to their heads rather than listen to Ted's story. A gunshot is heard off-screen.
Rifles
Unknown M16 variant
In a gag playing off of the recent Iranian hostage crisis, the Iran Air courtesy shuttle drops off blindfolded passengers, along with guards wielding M16s. It's hard to tell which variant they are, however.
Machine Guns
Browning M2 Aircraft
A terrorist carries a Browning M2 Aircraft machine gun through the metal detector, without security noticing. This is most likely a rubber prop, as the actor appears to be carrying it and an ammo belt with ease.
MG15
During Ted's flashback to Macho Grande, a MG15 machine gun is seen. This is just stock footage from Airplane!, which used stock footage from World War II.
Miscellaneous
Various weapons
A group of terrorists carry various heavy weapons through the airport metal detector while airport security thoroughly check an old lady.
