The following weapons were used in the film Lethal Weapon 2:



















Beretta 92

Just as in the previous Lethal Weapon film, the Beretta 92FS appears as the primary weapon of Detective Martin Riggs (Mel Gibson), and as such is used frequently throughout the film. In a memorable scene, Riggs empties the magazine of his Beretta into one of the main villain's henchmen while saying the names of his friends and loved ones the villain and his henchmen had killed. During the raid on the villains' home, a member of Riggs & Murtaugh's team can be seen wielding a Beretta 92FS Centurion.

Smith & Wesson Model 19

The Smith & Wesson Model 19 appears as the primary weapon of Detective Roger Murtaugh (Danny Glover). In a move reminiscent of the first Lethal Weapon film, Murtaugh can be seen rolling his neck before taking out the main villain with a single shot from his weapon.

H&K MP5K

H&K MP5A3

The H&K MP5A3 appears in the film as another weapon used by the main villain's henchmen, first during the raid on Riggs' beachfront mobile home (seen with and without brass catchers), then again during the final battle aboard the Alba Varden, two of which are comandeered by Riggs and Murtaugh and turned against their owners.

Mauser C96 Bolo?

During the final battle aboard the Alba Varden, the main villain, Arjen Rudd (Joss Ackland) fires on Riggs with a Mauser C96, seriously wounding him before running out of ammunition.

Has anyone ever noticed in Lethal Weapon 3 when Riggs is showing of his scars he refers to the bullet holes as "a family of .44s"? Was he just trying to make i seem like he got wounded worse than he did or was this just an error on the filmmakers?

If one is inclined towards realism then the filmakers didn't do their research and failed to learn that the C96 was never chambered for a 44 caliber round. But if one wants to follow through with the movie Riggs was trying to outbrag about injuries so it could be argued he was infalting the truth.

Very good point.

Walther PPK

One of Rudd's henchmen, an assassin named Pieter Vorstedt (Derrick O'Connor) can be seen using a Walther PPK in several scenes; first when he assassinates one of the officers in Riggs & Murtaughs' unit, then during the battle aboard the Alba Varden. The first time he uses it he fits a silencer on it, and the second time he uses it without the silencer, though is crushed by a cargo container Riggs drops on him before he can fire it.

Sig Sauer P220 pistol series

A supressed Sig Sauer P220 or P226 is used by one of Rudd's henchmen, when he tries to murder Leo Getz (Joe Pesci) in the hotel room while posing as room service.

It's My considered opinion, that this is a P220, it looks too thin to be a P226 ~ Revolver
