A police officer at the beginning of the film uses a [[Smith & Wesson 639]] as his sidearm. Detective Jeffrey Friedman ([[Paul Reiser]]) can be also seen with one tucked in his waistband. Casey ([[Michael Champion]]) also uses one to hold Axel and gunpoint, and later to shoot at Billy Rosewood. Lieutenant Andrew Bogomil ([[Ronny Cox]]) uses this as his primary sidearm, as seen during the climax of the film. It is likely that the same gun was used in all scenes because they all have wood grips and adjustable sights. | A police officer at the beginning of the film uses a [[Smith & Wesson 639]] as his sidearm.

Revision as of 16:47, 7 April 2013
The following guns were used in the film Beverly Hills Cop:
Browning Hi-Power
Detective Axel Foley's (Eddie Murphy) sidearm in this movie is a Browning Hi-Power pistol. The manufacturer, FN, switched from an internal extractor to the external extractor in the early 1960's which confirms Foley's gun as a post-WWII pistol. Axel uses a Hi-Power in all the other movies in the series.
Colt Detective Special
Detective William "Billy" Rosewood (Judge Reinhold) uses a nickel Colt Detective Special, 1st generation, as his primary weapon.
Smith & Wesson Model 19 Snub
Sergeant John Taggart (John Ashton) uses a Snub-nosed Smith & Wesson Model 19 as his primary weapon.
Smith & Wesson 639
A police officer at the beginning of the film uses a Smith & Wesson 639 as his sidearm. Detective Jeffrey Friedman (Paul Reiser) can be also seen with one tucked in his waistband. Casey (Michael Champion) also uses one to hold Axel and gunpoint, and later to shoot at Billy Rosewood. Lieutenant Andrew Bogomil (Ronny Cox) uses this as his primary sidearm, as seen during the climax of the film. It is likely that the same gun was used in all scenes because they all have wood grips and adjustable sights.
Smith & Wesson Model 10
In the opening scene, several Detroit police officers are armed with Smith & Wesson Model 10 revolvers. They are noted as Model 10's by their lack of a rear adjustable sight. The Model 10 was the standard issue duty sidearm for the Detroit Police Department at the time the movie was shot.
Smith & Wesson Model 67
In the opening scene, one Detroit police officer is armed with a Smith & Wesson Model 67 revolver, the stainless version of the Model 15. It is noted as a Model 67 by its rear adjustable sight, which the other officers Model 10s lack.
Colt MK IV Series 70
Inspector Todd (Gil Hill) carries a stainless Colt MK IV Series 70 in his waistband. It is identified as a MK IV Series 70 by its grips.
Charter Arms Undercover
Zack (Jonathan Banks) kills Axel's friend Mikey with a Charter Arms Undercover revolver.
Dan Wesson Model 15
Several Beverly Hills Police officers use Dan Wesson Model 15 revolvers with enclosed ejector rod and ventilated rib, indicating that it is the standard issue sidearm for the Beverly Hills Police Department. At first sight it looks like a Colt Trooper, but looking closely, it can be identified as a Dan Wesson revolver.
Ithaca 37 Shotgun
One of the strip club robbers (Paul Drake) is armed with a pistol gripped Ithaca 37. Axel distracts the robber, then overpowers him and takes the shotgun from him.
Sawn off shotgun
The second robber (Tom Everett) at the strip club uses a Sawn off double barreled shotgun before being disarmed by Sgt. Taggart.
IMI Uzi
Maitland's thugs use IMI Uzis during the final gunfight at the end of the film.
Smith & Wesson 3000 Shotgun
Zack (Jonathan Banks) uses a pistol-gripped Smith & Wesson 3000 Shotgun during the climax of the film when he tries to kill Axel in Maitland's home.
Smith & Wesson Model 629
Victor Maitland (Steven Berkoff) uses a custom Mag-na-ported Smith & Wesson Model 629 with a 2.5 inch barrel at the end of the film.
Unidentified firearms
We can see a few handguns that are hard to identify precisely:
A security guard (Rex Ryon) at the supply warehouse is seen with an unknown revolver in his holster.
During the climax, the two thugs in the security room are armed with unknown weapons.
