Revision as of 23:56, 8 August 2009
The following guns were used in the film Beverly Hills Cop
Browning Hi-Power
Axel Foley's (Eddie Murphy) sidearm in this movie is a Browning Hi-Power pistol. The manufacturer, FN, switched from an internal extractor to the external extractor in the early 1960's. This help date Foley's gun as a post-WWII pistol. Axel uses a Hi-Power in all the other movies in the series.
IMI Uzi
Maitland's thug use IMI Uzis during the final gunfight at the end of the film.
Colt Detective Special
Detective William "Billy" Rosewood (Judge Reinhold)uses a nickel Colt Detective Special, 1st generation, as his primary weapon.
]
Smith & Wesson Model 19
Sergeant Taggart (John Ashton) uses a Snub-nosed Smith & Wesson Model 19 as his primary weapon.
Smith & Wesson Model 629
Victor Maitland (Steven Berkoff) uses a custom Smith & Wesson Model 629 with a 2.5 inch barrel at the end of the film.
A similar gun can be seen in other movies, like Extreme Prejudice and The Hitcher (1986).
Smith and Wesson Model 639
We can see several times one of these 2nd generation S&W pistols, with adjustable sights (probably, the same gun was used in all the scenes).
Dan Wesson revolver
One of the Beverly Hills PD officers uses a 4" barreled revolver with enclosed ejector rod and ventilated rib. At first sight it looks like a Colt Trooper, but looking closely, it can be identified as a Dan Wesson revolver.
Note that the cylinder opening latch is located ahead of the cylinder, a feature only found in Dan Wesson revolvers (arrow)
Ithaca Shotgun
A Ithaca shotgun is used by one of the strip club robbers and John Taggart (John Ashton).
Double barreled shotgun (unknown brand)
Used by the other strip club holdup men
Unidentified firearms
We can see several handguns that are hard to identify precisely:
In the opening scenes, we can see several revolvers with fixed and adjustable sights, used by the Detroit PD officers. They are probably S&W model 10 & 19
Another officer in this scene uses an auto pistol (S&W?)
Gilber R. Hill, in his role of Inspector Todd, carries an auto pistol inside the waistband. It doesn't seem to be the S&W 639 seen in other scenes (I think that this pistol has fixed sights)
It could be a Colt MK IV series 70, the grips definitely look like Colt grips.
