Nothing But Trouble is a 1991 horror comedy starring Chevy Chase, John Candy and Demi Moore and was co-written and directed by co-star Dan Aykroyd.

The following weapons were used in the film Nothing But Trouble:

Submachine Guns

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 the film do not have foregrips nor the folding stocks.

An interesting note, the semiautomatic-only version of the Spectre has no foregrip or folding stock, like the weapons in the film. However, the Spectre fired by Miss Purdah in the film is fully-automatic. As such, these guns could very well be either full-auto versions that simply have the foregrips and folding stocks removed, or perhaps semi-auto versions (with the firing gun simply being one converted to full-auto).

+What appears best to be a [[Smith & Wesson 639]] pistol is carried by Miss Purdah in one of her dual reverse-draw holsters - Best seen in the larger shot of when she aims her CAR-15 alongside her vehicle.

-==CAR-15==
+==Beretta 92FS Inox==
-The main weapon carried (but never fired) by Miss Purdah is a [[M16#Colt_XM177.2FCAR-15.2FCommando_Series|CAR-15 rifle.]]
+The pistol in Miss Purdah's other holster best appears to be a [[Beretta 92FS Inox]].

-==XM177E2==
+==Walther PPK==
-Interestingly enough, in one part of a scene, Miss Purdah has what appears to be an [[M16#Colt_XM177.2FCAR-15.2FCommando_Series|XM177E2 rifle]] slug on her back. Perhaps possibly standing in for the CAR-15.
+Alvin Valkenheiser's ([[Dan Aykroyd]]) personal weapon appears to be a stainless [[Walther PPK]] pistol. Chris Thorne ([[Chevy Chase]]) very briefly handles this weapon. The PPK in this film appears to have engraving on the slide and Ivory grips.

It is 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 (Ivory) grips.]]
-==Colt Detective Special==
+==Colt Python==
-The drunk crook Arthur ([[Daniel Baldwin]]) pulls a later-made nickel-plated [[Colt_Detective_Special|Colt Detective Special]] (unknown caliber) on Dennis, though it gets quickly knocked out of his hand. It is seen again a bit later in the courtroom on the desk of Judge Alvin Valkenheiser ([[Dan Aykroyd]]).

--- 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. --Warejaws 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.

+==CAR-15==
+The main weapon carried (though never actually fired) by Constable 'Miss Purdah' ([[Valri Bromfield]]) for a fair portion of the film is a [[CAR-15]].

-==Walther PPK==
+==XM177E2==
-Alvin's personal weapon appears to be a stainless [[Walther_PPK#Walther_PPK|Walther PPK]] pistol. The pistol in this film appears to have some kind of engraving on the slide.
+Interestingly enough, later in the film, Miss Purdah carries what appears to be an actual [[XM177E2]] carbine, most likely standing in for the CAR-15 shown earlier. Like the CAR-15, it is never seen actually being fired, so it's likely this weapon may be a dummy gun or other non-firing prop. It is a very close looking example, in any case.

-==Mossberg 500AT==
+==Ruger Mini-14 GB Stainless==
-When Chris and Diane have the State Police raid the Valkenheiser Salvage near the end of the film, some of the troopers carry what appear best to be standard [[Mossberg_500#Mossberg_500|Mossberg 500AT]] shotguns (wooden furniture), which I figure mainly because of the dual-action bars.
