Men At Work is a 1990 dark comedy film written and directed by Emilio Estevez who also co-stars along with his brother Charlie Sheen. The film has the brothers Estevez and Sheen portraying a couple of indifferent prankster garbagemen who inadvertently stumble onto the body of a dead politician and an illegal offshore toxic chemical dumping conspiracy.



The following weapons were used in the film Men At Work:


Special

Pellet Rifle

The eponymous and never-more-descript 'Pellet Gun' is the film's most prominent weapon, seen used throughout the film by Carl Taylor (Charlie Sheen), James St. James (Emilio Estevez), and Louis Fedders (Keith David).

"Well ok, then. Let's be nice. Let's be civil. And let's drop those guns before I pull this trigger and change the way you feel about me."
Louis - as very much a bluff - holds the pellet gun on their pizza man hostage (Dean Cameron) as he commands the two ornery cops Mike and Jeff to discard their weapons.

Handguns

Colt Official Police

The Colt Official Police is the apparent sidearm of the antagonizing (at least to Carl and James) Las Playas Police Officer Mike (John Putch) and his partner Jeff (Tommy Hinkley).

Unknown

Two "rent-a-cops" draw unknown handguns on Louis (Keith David). As they are seen at a distance (and well out of any focus), a definitive ID can't be made.

Submachine Guns

TEC-9 Mini

Several of Maxwell Potterdam's other henchmen are seen with Intratec TEC-9 Minis.

Less-Lethal

Taser

Mario (John Lavachielli) is first seen wielding a nondescript Taser, which he specifically describes, much to the ire of his partner henchman Biff (Hawk Wolinski).

Louis' Drawings

Louis is seen doodling a couple of pictures during his accompanying Carl and James on their work route. The first shows their standard garbage truck but with a man firing what seems to be some kind of sniper rifle from the cab and some kind of missile mounted on the top. The other drawing is of a otherwise plain-looking helicopter inexplicably firing missiles upon a pier full of people.

..And the drawn helicopter (clearly with landing skids akin to a UH-1 Huey) inexplicably firing missiles at said pier. Rather tasteless, yes, but is fitting with the character of Louis who very much retains the rather dark battlefield humor of a combat veteran.
