The following weapons were used in the film The Return of the Living Dead:
Walther P38
Ernie Kaltenbrünner (Don Calfa) carries a pearl-handled Walther P38. Initially, Don Calfa was suppose to carry a "Broomhandle Mauser" as he explains in the special features section on the blu-ray disc, but it was not ideal to draw quickly from a holster. Don Calfa and Dan O'Bannon then decided on the more ergonomically shaped Walther P38. In the film's novelization, he carries a Luger P08.
Smith & Wesson Model 19
A Smith & Wesson Model 19 is carried by one of the police officers investigating the ambulances that haven't reported in. Later several officers at the roadblock are seen with revolvers that are also probably Model 19's.
Smith & Wesson Model 60
The Tac Squad captain (Bob Libman) in charge of the roadblock carries a Smith & Wesson Model 60 stainless revolver.
Various Guns
Most of the police Tac Squad members carry revolvers but at least two are shown with pump-action shotguns.
