Handguns
Colt Gold Cup National Match (Custom)
Lt. Marion 'Cobra' Cobretti (Sylvester Stallone) carries a customized Colt Gold Cup National Match as his sidearm throughout the film. According to armorer Steve Karnes, the weapon was special-ordered and built-up by Colt for Stembridge Gun Rentals to provide for the film. The weapon was fitted with custom grips and a converted 9x19mm barrel and slide. Special thanks to Mr. Karnes for providing info on this weapon.
Cobra (Sylvester Stallone) aims his Colt at the Supermarket Killer.
ASP-9
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. It may have been rented out for the film and the scenes were cut or script changes made the gun unnecessary to use.
Colt Government Model
Sergeant Tony Gonzales (Reni Santoni), Cobretti's partner, carries a Colt Government Model near the end of the film. His Gov't Model appears to have a stainless hammer and trigger. He is previously seen with what appears to be a Smith & Wesson Model 36.
Smith & Wesson Model 36
Captain Sears (Art LaFleur) and Detective Monte (Andrew Robinson) are seen carrying Smith & Wesson Model 36s at the beginning of the film. Nancy Stalk (Lee Garlington) is also seen using one towards the end of the film.
Smith & Wesson Model 15
In the opening scenes the Smith & Wesson Model 15 is used by several of the cops. A security guard uses one when Ingrid is first attacked by the Night Slasher after a modeling shoot.
Smith & Wesson Model 10
A Smith & Wesson Model 10 is seen being used by one of the gang members.
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. 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 by 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.
Heckler & Koch HK94
Two SWAT members are seen with Heckler & Koch HK94s on top of the supermarket roof at the beginning of the film.

Remington 870 'Witness Protection'
The Supermarket Killer (Marco Rodríguez) uses a Remington 870 'Witness Protection' shotgun when he goes on a rampage at the start of the film.

M16 Rifle
A gang member is seen with an M16 Rifle (likely an AR-15 SP1) with three-prong flash hider.
