Predator 2 is the 1990 action sci-fi sequel to the original Predator. Set in the then-future year of 1997, another Predator descends upon a besieged Los Angeles to hunt down this prey, including LAPD Detective Mike Harrigan (Danny Glover).


The following weapons were used in the film Predator 2:

Predator 2 (1990)


Handguns

Desert Eagle

LAPD Detective Mike Harrigan (Danny Glover) uses a stainless Desert Eagle fitted with a laser sight as his sidearm.

A matte stainless Desert Eagle MK I - .357 Magnum. The weapon pictured here is an actual movie gun (from the inventory of Weapons Specialists, Ltd. in New York) and has appeared in several motion pictures.

Harrigan aims his Desert Eagle at El Scorpio - Not the best installation of the laser sight, as the wire for the grip switch could impede spent shell casings from exiting the weapon properly.

SIG-Sauer P226

Det. Leona Cantrell (Maria Conchita Alonso) uses a SIG-Sauer P226 with a laser sight as her sidearm of choice. Det. Jerry Lambert (Bill Paxton) carries one as well, notably aboard the subway train and later when attacked by the Predator.

Miquelet lock pistol

This 18th century pistol with a characteristically Iberian form of flintlock ignition was presented to Mike Harrigan (Danny Glover) by the Elder Predator at the end of the film. The movie prop was an off-the-shelf commercially available non-firing replica from the Spanish manufacturer Denix, made in cast pot metal and hardwood. The external miquelet mainspring and full-cock sear are purely decorative, as the replica uses the same internal dry-fire mechanism as the other Denix models. It was reportedly customized for the movie by Keystone Arsenal Replicas. Modifications appear limited to the removal of the original die-cast sideplate and fabrication of the over-sized engraved sheet-metal replacement.

Shotguns

Remington 1100

In addition to his Desert Eagle, Harrigan uses a Remington 1100 semi auto shotgun with pistol grip and laser sight. He uses it to kill various gang members and to injure the Predator near the end of the film.

Franchi SPAS-15

A Franchi SPAS-15 can be seen being used by an LAPD sergeant (Steve Kahan) with a laser sight attached to it (which seems rather redundant for a shotgun) in the beginning of the movie.

Mossberg 500 Bullpup

In the opening shootout, several LAPD officers can be seen with the Mossberg 500 Bullpup. It's also briefly glimpsed in Harrigan's trunk as he loads up before confronting the Predator. Garber (Adam Baldwin) also is seen carrying one as he confronts Harrigan at the end of the movie.

Assault Rifles

CAR-15 variant

Harrigan (Danny Glover) uses a CAR-15 variant with an underslung M203 grenade launcher when he confronts the Predator. Since the receiver is never seen clearly it remains unidentified.
