WARNING! POSSIBLE SPOILERS!
"The Lawgiver"
The primary weapon of a Judge in the film is "The Lawgiver". It's seen primarily used by Judge Dredd (Sylvester Stallone), Judge Hershey (Diane Lane), and Rico (Armand Assante). According to this article [1], the Lawgiver is a 9mm Beretta 92 FS handgun with the futuristic casing built around it. In the film, the gun's capabilities include rapid-fire, grenade launcher, signal flare launcher, and the "double-whammy". It also has a security feature which allows a Judge to operate the gun. There were 7 practical firing Lawgivers, all with slight variations in their casings. There were 2 sfx "Double Whammy" Lawgivers designated as H1 and H2. Both guns had motorised barrels which were servo operated by radio control by off stage technicians. Sensors built into the front and rear of the Beretta's external magazine well caused the lit casing elements to operate. By releasing the rear sensor and squeezing the front, the side red arrow shaped and blue square elements go out and the red elements on each side of the casing come on one at a time until all 10 are lit...signal flare, rapid fire etc. None of the practical live fire Lawgivers had the Double Whammy rubber scope with glass lense. To spot a practical live fire Lawgiver on screen look to the bottom of the magazine well. Only the live fire guns had a small hole where the baseplate of the 9mm Beretta magazine was attached. 2 pairs of Lawgivers were later reutilised as Selene's (Kate Beckinsale) guns in Underworld, 1 Lawgiver was reutilised as Reinhardt's (Ron Perlman) gun in Blade 2 (the other gun was a standard Beretta 92 FS pistol firing semi auto) and 2 which have remained in their Lawgiver casings are privately owned. Upon completion of shooting, Pietro Beretta in Italy were sent a practical frame (casing) for their archive which they inserted one of their own satin finish 92 FS pistols into. The frame is the one used by Judge Rico at the end of the movie in the Clone Chamber and Statue of Liberty mock-up. The casing had a distinctive and unique oval cut out near the trigger assembly on the emblem side of the casing.
