The following weapons were used in the film Lethal Weapon 2:

*Lethal Weapon 2* (1989) The poster image is obviously reversed as the slide release and take down lever are on the wrong side in the photo. The flip was most likely done for aesthetics (although it led to gun confusion). Note the tipped up slide release lever, meaning that the magazine is empty.

WARNING! POSSIBLE SPOILERS!

Beretta 92FS

As in the original Lethal Weapon, the Beretta 92FS is the primary sidearm of Detective Martin Riggs (Mel Gibson), and as such is used frequently throughout the film. In a memorable scene, Riggs empties the magazine of his Beretta into one of the main villain's henchmen while remembering the names of his friends and loved ones. Other LAPD detectives are also seen with Berettas.

-''TRIVIA: On the cover of the movie as well as the movie poster, the image is obviously reversed as the slide release and take down lever are on the wrong side in the photo. It is possible that for some reason in the photo Mel Gibson held the pistol in his left hand, although throughout all 4 movies he uses it in his right. The flip might have been due to that, to avoid hand confusion (although it led to gun confusion). It's also noteworthy that the gun is empty. The tipped up slide release lever means that the clip is empty.''
