The Adventures of Pluto Nash (2002)

The following firearms can be seen in the movie The Adventures of Pluto Nash:

Pluto Nash's Pulse Pistol

Pluto Nash (Eddie Murphy) uses a fictional Pulse Pistol that is actually a heavily modified Beretta 92F that is encased in a clever shell that disguises the general shape of the pistol. For the most part, the sci-fi elements are all attached to the slide and the pistol grip is unchanged, except for some modification to the trigger guard to make it more "unidentifiable".

Pluto Nash's Red Pulse pistol has an unusual ported tip to the barrel extension that has three equidistant holes that create this intriguing flash when the pistol is fired.

Bruno's Pistols

Pluto's android bodyguard Bruno (Randy Quaid) uses a pair of heavily modified Para-Ordnance P-13 pistols. Each has been modified with an extended slide and shell to cover the hammer, a compensator, an extended magazine foot, futuristic grips, and some sort of module to hide the triggerguard.

Turret Pistol

One of Rex Crater's goons uses a Pulse Pistol that is a heavily modified Beretta 92F. As with the Pluto's pistol, this weapon has been covered in a shell that obscures the slide and triggerguard in addition to a bright metallic blue finish on the frame and an extended magazine baseplate that conceals a tripod that turns the weapon into an automated turret.

43K Magnum

Most of Rex's henchmen use futurized Beretta 92F pistols encased in shells similar to Pluto's pistol. Bruno refers to these weapons as "43K Magnums" despite being several distinctly different models. Gino (Burt Young) is also seen using one of the props during the film's opening scene.

Flura Nash's Pistol

pluto's mother Flura (Pam Grier) uses a futurized Beretta 92F that has a slide encased in a shell that hides the weapon's signature cut-away slide and ejection port.
