Unlike the original ''[[Lethal Weapon]]'' (where a [[Beretta 92 pistol series#Beretta 92F/FS|Beretta 92F]] was carried), Detective Martin Riggs ([[Mel Gibson]]) carries a [[Beretta 92 pistol series#Beretta 92F/FS|Beretta 92FS]] as his primary sidearm in this film, and as such, uses it frequently throughout the film. In a memorable scene, Riggs empties the magazine of his Beretta into one of the main villain's henchmen while remembering the names of his friends and loved ones. Other LAPD detectives are also seen with Berettas.

Pistols

Beretta 92FS

Unlike the original Lethal Weapon (where a Beretta 92F was carried), Detective Martin Riggs (Mel Gibson) carries a Beretta 92FS as his primary sidearm in this film, and as such, uses it frequently throughout the film. In a memorable scene, Riggs empties the magazine of his Beretta into one of the main villain's henchmen while remembering the names of his friends and loved ones. Other LAPD detectives are also seen with Berettas.

Smith & Wesson 5906

In addition to his Smith & Wesson Model 19 revolver, Murtaugh also carries a Smith & Wesson 5906 in a shoulder holster. The 5906 also appears to be the weapon carried by Det. Tim Cavanaugh (Dean Norris).

As Captain Murphy (Steve Kahan) talks to him, Murtaugh can be seen carrying his Smith & Wesson Model 19 in a crossdraw holster, and a Smith & Wesson semiauto in a shoulder holster.

Murtaugh fires the Smith & Wesson 5906 at the South African henchmen during his rescue of Leo at the stilt house. One of the rounds he fires during this shot has no sound effect applied; the weapon can be seen to fire (albeit with very little muzzle flare), yet no sound is heard.

Beretta 92SB-C

During the raid of the South African residence, Detective Collins (Grand L. Bush) can be seen wielding a Beretta 92SB-C. Not a 92FS Centurion or a 92FS Compact, as they weren't released until 1992, and since this film was released in 1989, it would have to be a 92SB Compact Version. It is also noted as a 92SB-C by its rounded trigger guard.

Browning Hi-Power
