Revision as of 23:11, 10 October 2011
The following weapons were used in the Direct to DVD film Lake Placid 2:
Cobray M79LF Flare Launcher
Sheriff Riley (John Schneider) (of Aroostook Maine) uses a Cobray M79LF 37mm Flare Launcher mocked up with a fake scope and an added on cylindrical drum (making it look a lot like a Sentinel Arms Stryker), which is refered to in the film as a "Milkor MG-340", and supposed to be a grenade launcher. At one point, we even see Riley open up the tube of the launcher, which moves the drum along with it.
Franchi SPAS-12
The big game hunter/poacher Struthers (Sam McMurray) carries a Franchi SPAS-12, which he even refers to as a Franchi SPAS-12 in the film. He also mentions how the acronym stands for "Sporting Purpose Automatic Shotgun". His tube magazine is shorter than standard, appearing to hold less than the standard 8 shot tube of the SPAS-12. He only uses it once and changes over to the Browning A Bolt Shotgun for the rest of the film.
Mossberg 500 Persuader
Sheriff Riley (John Schneider) is seen carrying a Mossberg 500 Persuader at one point in the film, in which Struthers brags his SPAS-12 is bigger. Riley rarely uses the Mossberg, instead going for the fictional 40mm grenade launcher for the rest of the film.
Beretta 92FS
Struthers (Sam McMurray) carries a Beretta 92FS pistol as his sidearm, as does Sheriff Riley (John Schneider). The gun appears to be a flashpaper gun, but since other guns in the film fire blanks, it can be assumed it was due to lack of a better prop instead of sound ordinance.
Browning A-Bolt
Struthers (Sam McMurray) brings several Browning A-Bolt Shotguns. The bore and magazine plate indicates it is indeed the shotgun version, which is a rare variant of the A-Bolt no longer in production, and the film has at least two of them. Struther's assistant Ahmad (Joe Holt) carries it when Struthers carries the SPAS-12. Emily (Sarah Lafleur) and Sheriff Riley (John Schneider) also uses the gun.
Marlin 336C Carbine
Seen in the Aroostook Sheriff's office stacked against a wall.
- The gun actually looks like a Winchester 1894, not a Marlin. - Gunmaster45
- good point. I put both of them together for a side by side analysis. The shape of the buttstock sure looks like an 1894. My only confusion was the amount of wood foreend in front of the barrel band. It seems to mimic the Marlin a litter better, but I checked and there are no screen shots that show a better angle on the guns. I would be willing to say that this is a Winchester . MPM
Unknown Double Barreled O/U Shotgun
Seen stacked against the wall behind Frank as he makes his statement.
Steyr Mannlicher M95/30 short rifle
Seen stacked against the wall behind Frank as he makes his statement.
