Nice, but where's the trigger?

This article or section is incomplete. You can help IMFDB by expanding it.

The following guns were used in the movie Bad Taste

IMI Uzi

Derek (Peter Jackson) uses an IMI Uzi sub-machine gun at the start of the film. The weapon is seen again later in the hands of an alien. It's interesting to note that Peter Jackson went about crafting most of the guns himself for the movie.

The prop Uzi being fired. You can tell this weapon is fake because the bolt doesn't move during firing and no casings are being ejected. Peter Jackson added the muzzle flashes in later during post-production.

Sterling L2A3 SMG

Three Sterling sub-machine guns are used by Frank, Barry and Ozzy. In the "Good taste made Bad Taste" documentry, Director Peter Jackson explains how he made these guns himself out of aluminium pipe and plastic. He doesn't specify if he made the other guns but nonetheless they're quite impressive.

AKS-47

This is the weapon of choice for most of the aliens in the movie. Again, this was another replica made by Peter Jackson for the movie. It seems the same prop was used over and over again because not more than one is seen at any given time.

Browning Hi-Power

Barry uses what looks like a Browning Hi-Power pistol after his Sterling jams. It appears that this is a real gun because there is recoil, smoke and ejecting cartridges. Apparently, the New Zealand film commission didn't allow Peter Jackson to use blank firing guns in this movie which is why he made replicas and added in the effects during post-production. Handguns are legal to own in New Zealand so Peter wouldn't of had much trouble using them in the movie. The actors also behave like they're firing a real gun during these scenes. Full auto weapons on the other hand are restricted in New Zealand which explains the use of replicas for the "bigger" guns.

Recoil, empty casing and smoke suggests that this is a real gun.
