Colt Official Police
A Colt Official Police is seen used by a Chicago Police Department officer in "Chapter Seven: The Lost Sister" (S2E07). The revolver appears to be missing its ejection rod. In "Chapter Nine: The Gate", Chief Jim Hopper (David Harbour) gives Dr. Sam Owens (Paul Reiser) what appears to be a Colt Official Police. This is likely a continuity error, as Hopper was seen carrying a Colt Python revolver before.
In a flashback in "Chapter Five: Dig Dug" (S2E05), Terry Ives (Aimee Mullins) is seen carrying a nickel plated Smith & Wesson Model 36 when she breaks into the Hawkins National Laboratory in an attempt to rescue her daughter. In "Chapter Seven: The Lost Sister" (S2E07), a store clerk pulls a Model 36 on Axel (James Landry Hébert) when he sees him trying to steal from the cash register.
In "Chapter Seven: The Lost Sister" (S2E07), Kali Prasad / Eight (Linnea Berthelsen) carries a Colt Detective Special with white tape wrapped around the grip.
Military Police officers at the Hawkins National Laboratory appear to carry the Browning Hi-Power as their sidearm, replacing the Beretta 92FS they carried in the first season. In "Chapter Seven: The Lost Sister" (S2E07), several Chicago Police Department SWAT officers are seen armed with Hi-Powers. Bob Newby (Sean Astin) briefly uses a Hi-Power in "Chapter Eight: The Mind Flayer" (S2E08), taken from a dead MP.
In "Chapter Six: The Spy" (S2E06), what appears to be several M1911A1s are briefly seen in the armory at Hawkins National Laboratory. In "Chapter Seven: The Lost Sister" (S2E07), Axel (James Landry Hébert), Chicago Police Department SWAT officers and a Chicago Police detective are also seen carrying M1911's. .
In "Chapter Nine: The Gate" (S2E09), Chief Jim Hopper (David Harbour) takes an Ithaca 37 with extended magazine tube from his patrol car to use alongside an Bushmaster AR-15 carbine upon re-entering Hawkins National Laboratory.
Heckler & Koch MP5K, with the anachronistic side folding stock, is seen carried by military police officers at the Hawkins National Laboratory in "Chapter Four: Will The Wise" (S2E04).
In "Chapter Eight: The Mind Flayer" (S2E08), Hawkins Police Chief Jim Hopper (David Harbour) arms himself with a Bushmaster Carbine taken from a deceased MP, which he later takes with him in the finale. Hopper notably keeps the rifle set to semi-auto at all times (which is correct as the Bushmaster HBAR is semi-automatic only in real life), reflecting to his heavily-implied Vietnam service. The Bushmaster HBARs are fitted with a Knight's Armament Company quad picatinny rail handguards with rail covers and M4 LE stocks. Since Season 2's setting takes place in 1984, the rifle itself and attachments equipped are anachronistic as they weren't introduced until the 1990s to 2000s.

In some incredible attention to detail, he only fires 24 rounds before running out of ammo, indicating he only had the single mag for the rifle.
Colt M4A1
Soldiers and some Military Police officers stationed at Hawkins National Laboratory carry Colt M4A1 carbines as their main armament. The soldiers who venture into the underground tunnel systems in "Chapter Six: The Spy" (S2E06) mostly carry M4A1s equipped with M203 grenade launchers and fitted with Knight's Armament Company quad picatinny rail handguards with rail covers, along with some equipped with M4 LE and/or Crane SOPMOD buttstocks and have flashlight attachments mounted on top of the detachable carry handle rear sight (which eliminates any functional sighting and the placement of the flashlights is strange in terms of the quad rails available on the rail handguard but it's possible this may be replicating what could be done on a fixed carrying handle AR-15 carbine at the time period); in keeping with the scene being an Aliens reference. The M4A1 is anachronistic in 1984 in which Season 2 is set in (however the XM4 carbine program was approved and being trialled during the season's setting) as it was not issued until 1994.

Soldiers in silver bunker suits at Hawkins National Laboratory are seen using flamethrowers throughout the series. They are fitted with unusual quad pilot lights.
