Armed and Dangerous is a 1986 action comedy directed by Mark L. Lester. John Candy stars as Frank Dooley, an LAPD officer that is framed for theft and dismissed from the police. He gets a job in Guard Dog Security agency where he partners with Norman Kane (Eugene Levy), an unlucky defense attorney. Soon Dooley and Kane find out that the agency is involved in the dark deeds of Michael Carlino (Robert Loggia), the chairman of the security guard's union.
The following weapons were used in the film Armed and Dangerous:
In the final scene Frank Dooley (John Candy) arms himself with the Freedom Arms Model 83 revolver with sniper scope. He incorrectly claims it to be ".50 caliber". After all action is over, Dooley gifts the revolver to The Cowboy (Steve Railsback).
When Dooley and Kane escape from Carlino's estate, Anthony Lazarus (Brion James) fires a pistol that appears to be Desert Eagle Mark I.

This is the only view of the pistol but the typical Desert Eagle outlook catches the eye.
Submachine Guns
Sterling
During the robbery of the pharmaceutical company's warehouse, Anthony Lazarus (Brion James) and Clyde Klepper (Jonathan Banks) use Sterling submachine guns.
During the chase for the armored truck, Dolan (John Solari) fires the Heckler & Koch MP5A3, fitted with some sighting device. As the weapon lacks the magazine paddle release, it appears to be chopped and converted Heckler & Koch HK94A3.
In the final scene one of Carlino's henchmen fires a missile launcher at the armoured truck. It appears to be a fictional weapon, styled after Carl Gustav Recoilless Rifle.
