The following weapons were used in the film Lethal Weapon 3:
Beretta M92FS
As in the other films, Detective Martin Riggs (Mel Gibson) carries a Beretta M92FS pistol as his standard weapon. At one point Riggs uses his Beretta to demonstrate the lethality of the armor-piercing rounds being used by the villains, penetrating a police-issue bulletproof vest with one shot. Berettas can also be seen being carried by Sergeant Lorna Cole (Rene Russo) and a young patrolman who is fatally wounded by the villains' armor-piercing ammo which renders the body armor he was wearing useless.
Smith & Wesson Model 19
As in the other films, Detective Roger Murtaugh (Danny Glover) can be seen carrying a Smith & Wesson Model 19 as his standard weapon, though does suppliment it with a semi-auto pistol as a backup, as mentioned below.
Smith & Wesson 5906
As a backup to his usual revolver, Murtaugh can be seen using a Smith & Wesson 5906 pistol, most notably when engaging in a shootout with a group of gangbangers.
H&K MP5K
There are several appearances in the film of the H&K MP5K, first seen being fired out a car window by one of the gang bangers Murtaugh encounters, then by former officer Jack Travis (Stuart Wilson) during a high-speed chase with Riggs. Some of Travis' henchmen can also be seen firing them during the final battle, among other weapons.
Walther PPK
When the protagonists track Travis to a sports arena, Leo Getz (Joe Pesci) chases Travis onto the ice of an in-progress hockey game. During the scuffle between the two, Travis pulls out a Walther PPK and fires at Leo, wounding him and escaping. Although a minor injury, Riggs and Murtaugh decieve him into thinking it's a more serious wound in order to relieve themselves of his distracting presence.
MAC-10
When Murtaugh engages the gang bangers, one of them opens fire on him with a MAC-10, spraying and praying in an ultimately futile effort to take out the veteran cop. upon discovering that the youth wielding it was a friend of his son, Murtaugh goes on a personal mission to find the ones responsible for giving him the illegal weapon. He also uses it to ignite a trail of gasoline spread by Riggs throughout the housing development during the final battle, and tosses the MAC-10, loaded with armor-piercing bullets, to Riggs who uses it to kill Travis who is trying to run him down with a backhoe loader, (in typical Hollywood Fiction) the powerful rounds able to pierce the dozer blade that was impervious to normal bullets.
Ruger Mini-14
During the final battle, several of Travis' henchmen can be seen wielding Ruger Mini-14 rifles, most notably when Captain Ed Murphy (Steve Kahan)'s car is shot up when it is sent into the housing development Travis is operating from with the siren blaring and no driver.
Unknown Revolver
During the final battle at the housing development, Travis can be seen using a large-frame revolver of unknown make and model loaded with armor-piercing ammo to shoot Sgt. Cole several times. Thankfully Lorna had worn two vests instead of one, so was saved from being killed by the powerful rounds, but was still seriously wounded.
