Revision as of 03:57, 20 May 2008
The following guns were used in the movie RoboCop
Beretta M93R (as the "Auto 9")
RoboCop's (Peter Weller)'s standard sidearm throughout the whole movie is the "Auto 9". This is a Beretta M93R machine pistol which was heavily modified for the film, featuring a longer barrel with an enormous compensator/flash hider shaped like a casket, plastic grips, and a taller rear sight. Typically, Robocop fires this weapon on its 3-round burst setting.
In addition to its appearances in the other Robocop films and TV series, the Auto 9 has also appeared in several other movies, including Sin City and City Hunter.
Barrett M82A1 (as the "Cobra Assault Cannon"
When Clarence Boddicker (Kurtwood Smith) and his gang are asked by Dick Jones (Ronnie Cox) to kill RoboCop, they are provided with an experimental military weapon being developed by OCP called the Cobra Assault Cannon. The Cobras are actually older-specification Barrett M82 long-range .50 BMG rifles which have been dressed up extra plastic housing over the receivers and fitted with gigantic scopes (according to IMDB, the scopes were originally supposed to show computer-generated targeting information, but this idea was scrapped due to budget constraints). The Cobra fires some type of powerful round that explodes upon impact; in the film, Clarence Boddicker memorably tests the weapon by firing it at a 6000 SUX sedan, destroying the vehicle.
Anne Lewis (Nancy Allen) obtains one of these rifles and uses it to kill one of Boddicker's men during the shootout at the chemical weapons plant. After RoboCop and Lewis take out Boddicker and his gang, RoboCop takes one of the Cobra Assault Cannons (presumably, the same one used by Lewis) to the OCP office building and uses it to destroy the ED-209 cyborg out in front.
SIG-Sauer P226
Murphy's (Peter Weller's) sidearm before he becomes Robocop is a SIG-Sauer P226 9mm, which is later used by his partner Anne Lewis (Nancy Allen).
(There has been some debate on RoboCop message boards over whether this gun is a P220 or a P226. I would say P226 because the grip looks a bit too thick to take a single-stack magazine. Furthermore, the P220 as it was manufactured in the 1980s was distinguished from the P226 because the hammer was much thinner, and Murphy's gun clearly has the thicker hammer. This means Robocop is quite possibly the first Hollywood film to feature the P226, which was a fairly new weapon in 1987.)
Heckler & Koch P9S
The Heckler & Koch P9S is the standard sidearm of the Detroit Police Department in the movie; Murphy uses one briefly during the highway shootout with Clarence Boddicker's men that he borrows from his partner Anne Lewis. Later in the range, we see many policemen practicing with their P9s, indicating clearly that this weapon is their standard-issue.
Remington 1100 (Sidewinder Model SW-PC)
Clarence Boddicker (Kurtwood Smith) uses a short-barreled semi-automatic shotgun with vented barrels to blow Murphy's limbs off during his death scene. This is a modified Remington 1100. The conversion involves moving the action spring from behind the action to around the magazine tube behind the gas piston. This allows the the shotgun to be fitted with a pistol grip, and a telescoping stock. This shotgun was also used in Jake Speed, and The Highway Man.
Sterling
A semi-automatic civilian version of the Sterling submachine gun (recognizable by its long barrel, necesary to comply with rifle laws in the U.S.) is seen used by the convenience store robber; Robocop renders this weapon useless by bending the barrel under the receiver of the gun.
LAR Grizzly Win Mag
During the Nightclub scene, RoboCop arrests Leon Nash(Played by Ray Wise) who pulls out an LAR Grizzly, a variant of the M1911A1 chambered in .45 Winchester Magnum with a barrel protruding past the slide. Some of Sal's (Lee de Broux) men in the drug lab also use LAR Grizzly pistols.
MAC-10
When Emil Antonowsky (Paul McCrane) robs the gas station he threatens the clerk with an Ingram MAC-10 fitted with a custom flash hider and a modified folding stock.
Mossberg 500 Bullpup
Mossberg M500 Bullpup shotguns are used by the Detroit SWAT teams, seen during the standoff at City Hall and when the police attack RoboCop at the OCP uilding.
Steyr AUG
Another weapon used by the SWAT teams are Steyr AUG assault rifles (seen when the police attack Robocop at the OCP building).
FN Minimi
One of the SWAT officers who fires upon Robocop at the OCP building uses an FN Minimi.
Desert Eagle
A Desert Eagle .357 Magnum with a threaded barrel (sometimes fitted with a suppressor)) is used by Clarence Boddicker throughout the movie. A chrome version is used by Dick Jones (Ronnie Cox). The chrome pistol is the same weapon from an earlier scene in which an employee was killed while "threatening" the ED209 prototype as a demonstration gone wrong.
Beretta 92FS
Joe Cox (Jesse D. Goins) uses a Beretta 92FS during the shootout at the drug lab, as does at least one of Sal's thugs.
Micro Uzi
The [[Uzi#Micro Uzi|Micro Uzi] is used by many of Sal's men in the drug lab shootout, including Sal himself.
Daewoo K1A1
Used by several of Sal's men during the drug lab shootout.
AKM
Some of Sal's men during the drug lab shootout are seen with AKM assault rifles (they appear to be Norinco Type 56s).
SPAS-12
The SPAS-12 is used by one of Sal's men during the drug lab shootout, and by at least one SWAT officer during the standoff at city hall.
