Smith & Wesson 659s

What appears best to be a Smith & Wesson Model 659 pistol is carried by Miss Purdah in one of her dual reverse-draw holsters - Best seen in the larger shot of when she aims her CAR-15 alongside her vehicle.

Miss Purdah has a S&W 659 pistol in her left reverse-draw holster (The closer one shown) as she points her CAR-15.

Second Holstered Pistol

Of course, the pistol in Miss Purdah's other holster. As it's farther away and at an angle it makes identification difficult. It's possibly a different weapon than the S&W 659 on the left holster.

Currently being debated in the 'Talk' page.

Colt Python Snub-Nose

During a stop, Arthur (Daniel Baldwin) pulls a nickel-plated Colt Python Snub-Nose on Dennis, though it gets quickly knocked out of his hand. It is seen again a bit later on the desk of Judge Alvin Valkenheiser (Dan Aykroyd).

XM177E2

Interestingly enough, later in the film, Miss Purdah carries what appears to be an actual XM177E2 rifle. Perhaps standing in for the CAR-15.

The XM177E2 is seen slung on Miss Purdah's back. Note the notch before the flash hider, and the somewhat short and thick flash hider/suppressor itself.

Walther PPK

Alvin's personal weapon appears to be a stainless Walther PPK pistol. The PPK pistol in this film appears to have engraving on the slide and white (Possibly Ivory) grips.

Alvin frantically waves and shoots his PPK. It was rather difficult to get a decently clear shot here, as Alvin waves the gun very quickly and erratically, even as he fires off a round. Note engraved stainless barrel and white grips.

Ruger Mini-14

Miss Purdah carries and fires a Ruger Mini-14 rifle with scope and stainless barrel/receiver later on in the film.

Mossberg 500AT

Towards the end of the film, some State Police Troopers carry what appear best to be standard Mossberg 500AT shotguns (wooden furniture), which I figure mainly because of the dual-action bars.
