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.
During a stop, the drunk crook 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 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. 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.

This was the last variant of the XM177 rifle used in the Vietnam War.Error creating thumbnail: File missing'Right this way, Mr. Snappy-Comeback.' Miss Purdah wields an XM177E2 (or at least, an awfully close lookalike) as she orders Chris to leave Eldona's (Also played by John Candy) room.Error creating thumbnail: File missingThe XM177E2 is seen slung on Miss Purdah's back as she and Alvin see Chris make it through the malfunctioned 'Mr. Bonestripper' outside. 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.

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 white grips.
Ruger Mini-14
Miss Purdah carries and fires a Ruger Mini-14 rifle with scope and stainless barrel/receiver at Chris and Diane as they escape the Valkenhesier Salvage towards a train.

Mossberg 500AT
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 500AT shotguns (wooden furniture), which I figure mainly because of the dual-action bars.

Note wood-grip and dual-action bars. The trooper on the left wields what appears to be a 1911-style pistol.
M16A1
National Guardsmen accompany the State Troopers on the raid, and they are armed with M16A1 rifles with 20-round magazines.
Dual pistols are carried by Miss Purdah in reverse-draw holsters - Best seen in the larger shot of when she points her CAR-15 at Thorne's BMW. They appear to be stainless-framed pistols but beyond that, the fact that they are holstered makes them a bit difficult to identify.

--The one in Miss Purdah's holster could be a Smith & Wesson Model 645.. Altough I'm not a 100% sure, it looks like a 645 to me... Warejaws 00:52 10 March, 2010 (UTC)
