Lake Placid 2 (2007)

Cobray M79LF Flare Launcher

Sheriff Riley (John Schneider) 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.

Cobray M79LF Standalone - 37mm Flare.

Franchi SPAS-12

The big game hunter/poacher Struthers (Sam McMurray) carries a Franchi SPAS-12 with a screw-on muzzle choke, 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" and there are some jokes about the acronyms in 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.

Mossberg 500 "Cruiser" - 12 Gauge.

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.

Beretta 92FS - 9mm.

Browning A-Bolt

Struthers (Sam McMurray) carries a Browning A-Bolt, although it is rather useless to use without a scope or sights. The bore and magazine plate indicates it is the shotgun version, which is a rare version of the A-Bolt no longer in production. (How such a low budget B-movie got this gun is unknown). Both Emily (Sarah Lafleur) and Sheriff Riley (John Schneider) also uses this gun.
