Roland Tembo (Pete Postlethwaite) is seen in the film using an LAR Grizzly Big-Bore, made out to be a single shot tranquilizer gun. Sarah Harding (Julianne Moore) is later seen using the same tranquilizer rifle to shoot the T-rex while in San Diego. Some of the hunters are also seen using LAR Grizzlies, outfitted with dual pully drums and made to look like grapple firing guns. This may be the big rocket launcher used by Robert Muldoon on the Tyrannosaur in the first Jurassic Park novel, but when Muldoon uses the big gun, it takes two hours to take effect on the dinosaur, but that was described as a shoulder fired weapon that uses tranquilizer rockets.
Eddy Carr (Richard Schiff) is seen using a bolt action tranquilizer rifle with the name "Lindstradt" clearly shown on the side and a thread-on barrel. It is the weapon of choice for Eddie but he never fires it. It is most likely a mock up of a real rifle but the make is hard to tell though The Lost World novel by Micheal Cricton says it was made in Sweden. Ian Malcolm (Jeff Goldblum) is also seen holding this gun in some scenes.
Dieter Stark (Peter Stormare) carries a H&K HK91 with an entrylight and telescopic sight attached but is never actually used. Some of the other hunters are also seen using HK rifles and a police sniper is seen hanging out a chopper door with one.
Roland Tembo (Pete Postlethwaite) keeps a .600 Nitro Express double barreled rifle, a large caliber rifle popularized in the early 1900's by ivory hunters. These rifles are often referred to simply as a "double," referencing the two barrels per single rifle. Double rifles are the favored rifle for African professional hunters as the two barrels allow for a quick follow-up shot on animals without having to reload.
Two rifles were made for the production of this movie by B. Searcy & Co. of Boron, CA. Steven Spielberg is said to own one of them himself. The location of the other is unknown. Both rifles made for the movie are real and fully functional. As with all double rifles, the intense amount of time and labor to make them dictates a price tag of several tens-of-thousands of dollars. A plastic model was made as well for stand-ins when the real rifle, which is heavy, was not necessary.

It should be noted, even though Nick pulled the bullets, the primers would still make a snap when fired, as opposed to empty clicks.
