Spaceballs (1987)

Spaceballs is a 1987 science-fiction spoof directed by Mel Brooks starring Bill Pullman, John Candy, Rick Moranis, Mel Brooks (in dual roles), Daphne Zuniga and the voice of Joan Rivers. While ostensibly a spoof of Star Wars, the film also spoofs many other sci-fi franchises, like Star Trek, Alien and Planet of the Apes.

The following guns were used in the movie Spaceballs:


Calico M100

Spaceball guards use Calico M100 to impersonate space weapons in the film. Lonestarr (Bill Pullman) and Barf (John Candy) steal two rifles and use them, Barf's running out of ammo in the process. Princess Vespa (Daphne Zuniga) uses Lonestarr's to take out a group of enemy troopers.

"Son of a Bitch!" After getting some of her hair shot off, Princess Vespa revises her outlook on guns and mows down a wave of guards, the other three looking at her.

Modified TEC-9

Modified TEC-9 machine pistols appear to be the standard issue sidearm for Spaceball officers. They are shown with barrel shrouds and without magazines. They are also never fired or even drawn in the film, so it's possible these are just replicas or toys.

Modified M1 Carbine

The debris from Spaceball One land on the Planet of the Apes, and the two chimps that come to investigate appear to have modified M1 Carbines. (Assuming they're using the same props from Planet of the Apes.
