Demolition Man (1993)

Demolition Man is a 1993 science-fiction action film starring Sylvester Stallone as John Spartan, a Los Angeles cop with a reputation for destruction who is found guilty of a crime he didn't commit and is sentenced to be frozen in a cryogenic prison along with his nemesis Simon Phoenix (Wesley Snipes). When Phoenix escapes from the prison in the future world of San Angeles, Spartan is then unfrozen and asked to use his old school tactics to take down his archenemy. The film's cast also includes Sandra Bullock, Benjamin Bratt, and Denis Leary. The film is notable for featuring one of the first and only appearances of the Heckler & Koch G11, an experimental rifle at the time that was portrayed as futuristic magnetic pulse rifle.

The following weapons were used in the film Demolition Man:



Handguns

Beretta 92FS

During the 1996 prologue, LAPD officer John Spartan (Sylvester Stallone), aka "The Demolition Man", carries only a Beretta 92FS as he jumps from an LAPD helicopter onto the roof of the building Simon Phoenix (Wesley Snipes) is holed up in. He also later uses one in his battle with Phoenix in the cryo prison.

Beretta 92FS Inox

In the future world of San Angeles, Spartan is seen using a Beretta 92FS Inox, as identified by its slide-mounted safety, as his main sidearm. He retrieves it from the Hall of Violence during his shootout with Phoenix. He uses it most notably to shoot up the display screens and one of the ticket-dispensing machines in the office of Dr. Raymond Cocteau (Nigel Hawthorne).

Submachine Guns

Heckler & Koch MP5K

A Heckler & Koch MP5K is used by one of Phoenix's men at the beginning of the film. Phoenix also acquires a number of MP5Ks from the museum armory in 2032, which are used by henchmen, as well as Phoenix himself.

The MP5K used by Phoenix in the museum shootout is fitted with a PDW folding stock to emulate an MP5K-PDW (though it is not a genuine MP5K-PDW, as evidenced by the lack of an extended barrel and Navy trigger group).

Heckler & Koch MP5A2

Rifles

"Magnetic Accelerator" Rifle (Heckler & Koch G11 mockup)

During the museum shootout, Phoenix wonders, "Wait a minute, this is the future. Where are all the phaser guns?" So he finds a futuristic particle Beam gun which is called a "Magnetic Accelerator". This rifle in reality appears to be the Heckler & Koch G11 fitted with a laser sight and other embellishments. As the actual G11 was in the experimental stage at the time and the fact it was never actually fired in the film, this rifle was most likely a mockup.

Norinco Type 56-1

The Chinese Norinco Type 56-1 is used by Phoenix and his future gang at many points in the movie, most notably to execute all the workers in the cryoprison.

Other

Double Barreled Flare Pistol

Edgar Friendly (Denis Leary) is seen using a double barreled pistol as his weapon of choice. According to Long Mountain Outfitters, the weapon is a Japanese double-barreled flare pistol, possibly a 28mm Kayaba Type 90, adopted by Japanese Imperial Navy in 1930.

"Hall of Violence" Armory

In the future, Phoenix visits the "Hall of Violence", which numerous other handguns, rifles and machine guns (apparently along with copious amounts of spare ammunition) are displayed for the citizens. Both Phoenix and Spartan procure their old-school weapons from this armory. (All weapons only seen in the armory and not actually used by the characters will be put here.)

IMI Uzi

A IMI Uzi is among the firearms on display in the museum's armory.

Gatling Gun

A Gatling Gun is prominently displayed in the hall next to various cannons.

Various Weapons

Two Colt Single Action Army revolvers are seen on the Wild West mannequin as Phoenix enters the armory.
In addition to the M1928A1 Thompson right above him, Phoenix is seen looking at what appears to be a shorthand history of U.S. infantry rifles, with the Winchester lever actions, what might be a Krag-Jørgensen carbine, a M1903 Springfield, an M1 Garand, and a post-war M1 Carbine.
There appears to be here a good H&K representation in the armory. The weapons are (from top to bottom): An MP5A2, an MP5K with PDW stock, MP5A3, Steyr AUG, Uzi, Ruger AC556K, two sawed-off shotguns (possibly the Remington 870 used by Phoenix), a regular MP5K, FN FAL 50.61, and HK21.
