Showtime is a 2002 action comedy starring Robert De Niro as a no-nonsense LAPD detective who is partnered with a patrol cop (Eddie Murphy) who desperately wants to be an actor. Together they become stars of their own reality program as they investigate the appearance of a mysterious weapon.
The following guns were used in the film Showtime:
WARNING: Spoilers Ahead!
Modified Saiga-12 Shotgun
The unique weapon used by Ceasar Vargas (Pedro Damian) in the film is a modified Saiga 12 shotgun. It's mentioned by the gun expert Charlie Hertz in the film as "the gun that's not supposed to exist". Designed specifically for this movie and built by gunsmiths Larry Zanoff and the late Jim Boland, the weapon is mentioned to fire depleted uranium shells. It is seen fired in both its compact configuration and in its full extended configuration. The weapon is also fitted with a green laser sight and C-more red dot sight. This weapon was also used on the TV series Firefly as Jayne's favorite gun "Vera".
Beretta 9000S
LAPD Det. Mitch Preston (Robert De Niro) is seen carrying a Beretta 9000S at the beginning of the film. He hides it in a large slush cup when he goes to a gun buy.
Smith & Wesson 4505
Throughout the rest of the film, Mitch carries a Smith & Wesson 4505 as his main sidearm.
Beretta 92FS Pistol
The Beretta 92FS is the main sidearm of LAPD officer Trey Sellars (Eddie Murphy) at the beginning of the film.
Beretta 92SB Silver
When Trey is partnered with Mitch, he switches to a silver (possibly nickel) Beretta 92SB for the remainder of the film.
Beretta 950 Jetfire
In the final confrontation in the hotel room, Trey pulls a Beretta 950 Jetfire, which Mitch then hides in a video camera.
