Colors is a 1988 film directed by Dennis Hopper and starring Robert Duvall and Sean Penn as a pair of LAPD officers assigned to the CRASH ("Community Resources Against Street Hoodlums") unit. The film is notable for being one of the first Hollywood attempts to realistically depict the Los Angeles gang problem, and for featuring many now well-known actors in minor supporting roles (including Don Cheadle, Damon Wayans, and Mario López, all of whom played gang-bangers here).
The following guns can be seen in this movie:
Smith & Wesson Model 14
Officer Danny McGavin (Sean Penn) carries a 6" barrel Smith & Wesson Model 14 as his on-duty service handgun.
Smith and Wesson Model 64
McGavin (Sean Penn) also carries a 3" barrel Smith & Wesson Model 64, which appears to be his plainclothes/off-duty sidearm.
Beretta 92FS
Officer Bob Hodges (Robert Duvall) carries a Beretta 92FS as his service pistol throughout the movie, which was just entering service with the LAPD at the time of the film. Several other LAPD officers can be seen using the Beretta, and at least one gang-banger also uses one during the shootout at the climax.
Taurus PT92
Hodges (Robert Duvall) can also be seen using a Taurus PT92 during the scene where CRASH busts the drug dealer Oso (C.E. Grimes) in his home. It is not clear if this is supposed to be his plainclothes/off-duty pistol, or if the movie's armorer simply was unable to bring a Beretta 92FS to the set when this scene was filmed (in all other scenes, Hodges' pistol is definitely a Beretta).
Smith & Wesson Model 36 (?)
McGavin (Sean Penn) also carries a compact revolver in an ankle holster which is only ever seen for a second during the scene in the restaurant where High Top (Glenn Plummer) is arrested. It appears to be a Smith & Wesson Model 36, but this is far from certain.
Ithaca 37
When McGavin and Hodges confront the 21st Street Gang after one of its members, Felipe (Romeo De Lan), throws a rock at their car, McGavin takes out an Ithaca 37 riot model (specifically, the LAPD version with rifled sights). Hodges tells him to put the shotgun back in the car, embarrassing him. Later in the film, when the 21st Street Gang gets busted, several other LAPD officers can be seen with identical shotguns.
Micro Uzi
In this film, the Micro Uzi is depicted as the weapon-of-choice for many of the gang-bangers. Rocket (Don Cheadle), the leader of the Crip gang in the movie, and Larry (Grand L. Bush), a 21st Street Gang leader, both use Micro Uzis when they square off against each other in the climactic shootout.
Ruger Mini-14
Bird (Gerardo Mejía) carries a Ruger Mini-14 folder when the 21st Street Gang is involved in a shootout with Crip DeVille. He later uses this weapon to kill one of the film's main characters.
Unknown sawed-off shotgun
A sawed-off shotgun of unknown make and model is seen several times in the film. It is first taken from Oso's (C.E. Grimes') house, and later appears again in the hands of at least one 21st Street Gang member in the final shootout. This may also be the shotgun that Rocket (Don Cheadle) uses in the drive-by shooting at the beginning of the movie, though this is uncertain.
Smith & Wesson Model 39
A Smith & Wesson Model 39 can be seen on a table when the Crip DeVille 'bangers are loading up their weapons and planning to kill McGavin.
Smith & Wesson Model 19
Officer Baines (R.D. Call)' sidearm is a Smith & Wesson Model 19, which he uses to shoot an innocent man, which brings the wrath of the Crip DeVille set down upon McGavin after he is mistakenly IDed as the shooter.
