==Unknown machine pistol==
'''''Innerspace''''' is a 1987 science fiction comedy directed by [[Joe Dante]] and starring [[Dennis Quaid]] as Tuck Pendleton, a test pilot who participates in a scientific experiment to command a special pod that can been miniaturized to the point where it and the pilot can be injected into the bloodstream of a living being. After a botched robbery, Tuck finds himself injected into the body of Jack Putter ([[Martin Short]]), a mild-mannered grocery store employee.  The film's cast included [[Meg Ryan]], [[Vernon Wells]], and  [[Kevin McCarthy]] in addition to frequent Joe Dante collaborators [[Robert Picardo]], [[Kathleen Freeman]], [[Dick Miller]] and [[Kenneth Tobey]].
Several of the men who raid Vectorscope Labs are armed with small machine pistols. They never fire them - they instead spray the scientists with knockout gas, making the presence of the guns somewhat pointless.

{{Film Title}}
Victor Scrimshaw's blond henchman ([[Jason Laskay]]) has a black automatic pistol with a brown (wood?) grip in a shoulder holster. Lydia Maxwell ([[Meg Ryan]]) steals it from him after knocking him out. Apparently, the henchman fired it several times prior as the weapon runs empty after being fired only ''twice'' (once in the air to get the villains' attention, and a second time accidentally while gesturing with the weapon).
