Runaway
Guns used in this Sci-Fi movie:
Detonics Servicemaster
Used as a service handgun by Tom Selleck and Cynthia Rhodes. The gun has the characteristic Detonics forward mounted rear sight (a similar gun can be seen in Terminator 2: Judgement Day)
Smith & Wesson Model 19
The 2.5"-barrel version is used by a robot (!)
Missile Pistol
Though the model info is unknown, the missile-firing pistol used by the villain, Charles Luther (Gene Simmons), in the movie, was probably designed by the prop department. Interestingly, the publicity materials for the film, chiefly the poster, showed Tom Selleck holding the gun though he never uses it in the movie. The story alludes to one of the scientists working with Luther being an expert in propulsion & perhaps the supplier of the gun & its ammo. The runaway squad's chief tech officer (Stan Shaw) later calls the mini-rockets "smart bullets."
The projectiles are all electronic "heat seeking missiles" with a back half made up of solid propellant, making use of valves for directional control. They are able to be programmed to "go after" a specific person using a person's unique heat pattern as a signature.
