Nothing But Trouble is a 1991 horror comedy starring Chevy Chase, John Candy and Demi Moore and was co-written and directed by co-star Dan Aykroyd.


The following weapons were used in the film Nothing But Trouble:


Submachine Guns

Spectre M4

The most prominent weapon in the film, the Spectre M4 SMG is carried by Valkenvania Police Chief Constable Dennis Valkenheiser (John Candy), and used by Constable 'Miss Purdah' (Valri Bromfield). The Spectres in the film do not have foregrips nor the folding stocks.

An interesting note, the semiautomatic-only version of the Spectre has no foregrip or folding stock, like the weapons in the film. However, the Spectre fired by Miss Purdah in the film is fully-automatic. As such, these guns could very well be either full-auto versions that simply have the foregrips and folding stocks removed, or perhaps semi-auto versions (with the firing gun simply being one converted to full-auto).

Handguns

Smith & Wesson 639

What appears best to be a Smith & Wesson 639 pistol is carried by Miss Purdah in one of her dual reverse-draw holsters - Best seen in the larger shot of when she aims her CAR-15 alongside her vehicle.

Miss Purdah has a S&W 639 pistol in her left-side reverse-draw holster (The closer one shown) as she aims her CAR-15. Though difficult to tell, the pistol appears to have a slightly rounded backstrap, unlike the 659 and 645, which are straight.

Beretta 92FS Inox

The pistol in Miss Purdah's other holster best appears to be a Beretta 92FS Inox.

Walther PPK

Alvin Valkenheiser's (Dan Aykroyd) personal weapon appears to be a stainless Walther PPK pistol. Chris Thorne (Chevy Chase) very briefly handles this weapon. The PPK in this film appears to have engraving on the slide and Ivory grips.

Alvin (Dan Aykroyd) frantically waves and shoots his PPK. It is rather difficult to get a decently clear shot here, as Alvin waves the gun very quickly and erratically, even as he fires off a round. Note engraved stainless barrel and white (Ivory) grips.

Colt Python

During a stop, an inebriated thug named Arthur (Daniel Baldwin) pulls a nickel-plated snub-nosed Colt Python on Dennis (John Candy), though it gets quickly knocked out of his hand. It is seen again a bit later on the desk of Judge Alvin Valkenheiser (Dan Aykroyd). A New Jersey State Trooper at the end of the film also wields a full-sized blued-steel Python.

To the upper-right, what appears to be a Beretta 92F can be seen amongst the confiscated items. Though difficult to tell, the grips indicate it's more likely a 92F rather than a 92FS. The aforementioned Colt Python snub can also be seen to the lower-right.

Rifles / Carbines

CAR-15

The main weapon carried (though never actually fired) by Constable 'Miss Purdah' (Valri Bromfield) for a fair portion of the film is a CAR-15.

XM177E2

Interestingly enough, later in the film, Miss Purdah carries what appears to be an actual XM177E2 carbine, most likely standing in for the CAR-15 shown earlier. Like the CAR-15, it is never seen actually being fired, so it's likely this weapon may be a dummy gun or other non-firing prop. It is a very close looking example, in any case.

XM177E2 Carbine aka Colt Model 629 - 5.56x45mm. This was the last variant of the XM177 rifle used in the Vietnam War.

Ruger Mini-14 GB Stainless

Constable Miss Purdah (Valri Bromfield) carries and fires a Ruger Mini-14 GB rifle with scope and stainless barrel/receiver later on in the film as she chases after Chris (Chevy Chase) and Diane (Demi Moore).

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
