Together they become stars of their own reality program as they investigate the use of a very deadly weapon in several crimes. The cast includes Rene Russo and William Shatner as himself.
The following weapons were used in the film Showtime (2002):
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".

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 prominently featured in the series Firefly, as Jayne's favorite gun "Vera".
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 undercover to a drug buy.
