The following weapons are seen/used in the film Nothing But Trouble:
Nothing But Trouble (1991)
Spectre M4
The most prominent weapon in the film, the Spectre M4 SMG is carried by Valkenvania Police Chief Constable Dennis Valkenheiser (John Candy), and used by Constable 'Miss Purdah' (Valri Bromfield). The Spectres in this film have the foregrips and folding-stocks removed.
Spectre M4 W- Removable Foregrip - 9mm.
Spectre carried in the hand of Chief Constable Dennis Valkenheiser (
John Candy), after he orders Chris Thorne (
Chevy Chase) to follow him.
'..Don't kill me.' Dennis points a Spectre at Arthur (
Daniel Baldwin), instantly after he knocks away a Colt Python Snub Arthur pulls on him. Note the missing folding-stock.
CAR-15
The main weapon carried by Miss Purdah for most of the film is a CAR-15 rifle.
Commercial CAR-15 semiautomatic Rifle - 5.56x45mm. This is strictly a semiautomatic civilian copy of the XM177 style of rifles.
Miss Purdah aims her CAR-15.
Miss Purdah enters the room, CAR-15 in hand.
Dual Smith & Wesson 659s
What appears best to be dual Smith & Wesson Model 659 pistols are carried by Miss Purdah in reverse-draw holsters - Best seen in the larger shot of when she aims her CAR-15 alongside her vehicle.
Miss Purdah has dual S&W 659 pistols in reverse-draw holsters shown as she points her CAR-15.
Smith & Wesson 659 - 9x19mm.
Colt Python Snub-Nose
During a stop, Arthur (Daniel Baldwin) pulls a nickel-plated Colt Python Snub-Nose on Dennis, though it gets quickly knocked out of his hand. It is seen again a bit later on the desk of Judge Alvin Valkenheiser (Dan Aykroyd).
Arthur prepares to pull the Snub-Nosed Python on Dennis.
'Say good-night, copper.' Arthur (or Artie) pulls the Python on Dennis. Upon closer inspection, one will note the vented-rib.
Dennis knocks the Python Snub out of Artie's hands.

Beretta 92F
As Judge Alvin Valkenheiser examines the confiscated items, including the Colt shown above, a Beretta 92F semi-auto pistol can be seen on the desk.
To the upper-right, what appears to be a Beretta 92F (Note what is actually a squared-off trigger-guard) can be seen amongst the confiscated items.
-- I don't know about you but if I'm still seeing straight, I'd say that ain't no rounded trigger-guard. So it's more likely a 92F. --Werejaws 13:52, 8 March 2010 (UTC)
Bah, you're right - I can't believe I thought that was a rounded-guard.. so silly. I'll fix it up. StanTheMan
XM177E2
Interestingly enough, later in the film, Miss Purdah carries what appears to be an actual XM177E2 rifle. Perhaps standing in for the CAR-15.
XM177E2 Carbine aka Colt Model 629 - 5.56x45mm. This was the last variant of the XM177 rifle used in the Vietnam War.
'Right this way, Mr. Snappy-Comeback.' Miss Purdah wields an XM177E2 (or at least, an awfully close lookalike) as she orders Chris to leave the room.
The XM177E2 is seen slung on Miss Purdah's back. Note the notch before the flash hider, and the somewhat short and thick flash hider/suppressor itself.
Walther PPK
Alvin's personal weapon appears to be a stainless Walther PPK pistol. The PPK pistol in this film appears to have engraving on the slide and white (Possibly Ivory) grips.
Walther PPK stainless - 9mm Kurz aka 9x17mm (.380 ACP)
Chris removes the PPK from it's holster as he searches Alvin's room.
Alvin frantically waves and shoots his PPK. It was rather difficult to get a decently clear shot here, as Alvin waves the gun very quickly and erratically, even as he fires off a round. Note engraved stainless barrel and white grips.
Ruger Mini-14
Miss Purdah carries and fires a Ruger Mini-14 rifle with scope and stainless barrel/receiver later on in the film.
Stainless Steel Ruger AC556 Carbine with Full Stock - 5.56x45mm. The AC-556 is the militarized selective-fire version of the standard Mini-14.
Miss Purdah fires the Mini-14.
Miss Purdah fires the Mini-14. Note stainless barrel and receiver.
Mossberg 500AT
Towards the end of the film, some State Police Troopers carry what appear best to be standard Mossberg 500AT shotguns (wooden furniture), which I figure mainly because of the dual-action bars.
Mossberg 500AT Shotgun - 12 gauge. Note the wood furniture.
The State Trooper on the right takes up position with what appears to be a Mossberg 500AT. Note wood-grip and dual-action bars. The trooper on the left wields what appears to be a 1911-style pistol.
M16A1
National Guardsmen accompanying the State Troopers are armed with M16A1 rifles with 20-round magazines.
M16A1 with 20 round magazine - 5.56x45mm.
Guardsmen in position with M16A1 rifles. Note forward assists.
Unknown Revolver
An unknown full-sized revolver (My guess would be a Colt) is wielded by a State Trooper.
A State Trooper takes his position with the full-sized revolver.
Unknown Bolt-Action Rifle
Another State Trooper takes position with a scoped bolt-action rifle of unknown Make/Model.
A trooper aims the bolt-action rifle. Note the rifle still has iron sights.
