:''You are correct. However, the 92SB is only used in that one close-up shot of the gun being fired. As best I can tell, regular 92Fs are used in every other scene. In fact, if you look closely when he first raise the gun (before the close-up), it seems to have a squared trigger guard!''

Beretta M92FS

The Beretta M92FS appears in the film in the hands of U.S. Secret Service agents and U.S. military personnel. The Secret Service can be seen volley-firing them to kill an alien as it is telepathically attacking President Thomas J. Whitmore (Bill Pullman). In another scene, Air Force Major Mitchell (Adam Baldwin) fires one at a captured alien fighter when David Levinson (Jeff Goldblum) is demonstrating the computer virus he designed to neutralize the aliens' technology, the first shot ricocheting off the fighters' shields and the second shot hitting a coke can placed on the hull of the fighter when David uploads the virus.

You are correct. However, the 92SB is only used in that one close-up shot of the gun being fired. As best I can tell, regular 92Fs are used in every other scene. In fact, if you look closely when he first raise the gun (before the close-up), it seems to have a squared trigger guard!

Browning Hi-Power

When the alien ships arrive on Earth, a Browning Hi-Power can be seen in a graphic on a TV news broadcast asking Los Angeles residents not to fire on the spacecraft for fear of starting an interstellar war, clearly oblivious to the aliens' already hostile intentions.

Double-Barreled Shotgun

When David Levinson goes to pick up his father Julius Levinson (Judd Hirsch) in New York City, Julius comes to the door brandishing a double-barreled shotgun, thinking David is one of the many looters running rampant as a result of the panic created by the aliens' arrival.
