As in the previous film, RoboCop (Peter Weller) carries the Beretta 93R "Auto 9" as his sidearm of choice. Moreover, he is actually seen reloading the weapon on a few occasions (something he never seemed to do in the first film).
Officer Anne Lewis (Nancy Allen) carries a SIG-Sauer P228 as her sidearm throughout the movie, which was a brand-new pistol at the time that RoboCop 2 was made (this is, in all likelihood, the first film ever to feature this gun, because the P228 was first introduced in 1990, the same year this film was made). The P228 can also be seen in the hands of the Little League coach-turned-robber during the incident at the electronics store.
Hob (Gabriel Damon) carries a UC-M21 as his weapon-of-choice throughout the film. This gun was designed by Dave Boatman and based on an earlier version conceived by Eugene Stoner, the Ares FMG. Stoner developed it in the early 1980s as a PDW for high-ranking politicians and wealthy businessmen in kidnapping prone nations. The blue exterior gives the gun the appearance of a plastic lunchbox, in order to fool unsuspecting cops who don't realize that Hob is a young drug lord.
There are several appearances of the IMI Desert Eagle Mark VII in the film. The first is during the gun store robbery in the opening, when a drug dealer steals a blued .357 Magnum version and uses it to kill the store owner. The second appearance is in the hands of Hob (Gabriel Damon), who uses a nickel .50 AE model to shoot RoboCop in the visor after RoboCop's directives prevent him from shooting a kid.
During the gun store robbery in the beginning, the robbers can be seen taking Pauza P50 long-range sniper rifles from a display case which is specifically marked "Pauza Specialties" (which indicates that, contrary to what some RoboCop fan sites claim, this weapon is not supposed to be the same "Cobra Assault Cannon" seen in the previously film). RoboCop himself later uses one of these weapons when he confronts RoboCop 2 at the OCP building.
Something happened with those shots there. Plus, I've always assumed the Pauza to be a upgraded Cobra Assault Cannon, given that we see it fire explosive rounds (albeit less powerful than the Barrett version's) when RoboCop confronts Cain/RoboCop 2. That's just me, though... --Clutch 04:13, 24 March 2009 (UTC)
Beretta 93R
An unmodified Beretta 93R (not the Auto 9) is used by one of Hob's thugs during the meeting with the mayor. Another can be seen in the gun store at the beginning of the film.
During the gun store robbery scene, a drug dealer (played by Thomas Rosales, Jr., who always plays characters in movies who get killed) fires at RoboCop with an AT4 rocket launcher.
Norinco Type 56 AK rifles are a very common weapon used in the film by Cain's (Tom Noonan's) thugs. Nearly every variation of the Type 56 appears in the film, including the fixed stock Type 56, the under-folding stock Type 56-1, and the side-folding Type 56-2. The Type 56 rifles in the film all seem to have some type of unusual flash hider which looks similar to that of the AK-74, and some of the rifles also have bakelite magazines.
A Browning M1919 machine gun modified with sniper scope is used by Hob and is used to shoot off RoboCop's gun hand.
Error creating thumbnail: File missingA variant of the Browning M1919 developed during World War 2, this model is designated the M37, with the ability to feed from either the left or the right of the weapon - 30-06. This example is shown without a tripod, only the pintle mount. This the MOST likely .30 cal machine gun to be seen firing from armored vehicles.Error creating thumbnail: File missingHob fires the Browning M1919 at RoboCop.Error creating thumbnail: File missingHob dismounts from the M1919.
Heckler & Koch MP5K
The Heckler & Koch MP5K is another weapon used by Cain's thugs. In one scene, RoboCop kills a drug dealer who is using his MP5K to hold a baby hostage.
Many of the Detroit Police Officers in the film are seen using M16A2 assault rifles fitted with 90-round inverted drums, though at least a few have 30-round translucent magazines. Like most of the Hollywood "M16A2s", these all have M16A1-style flash hiders (as evidenced by the "starburst" pattern muzzle flash whenever they're fired).
Some of the Detroit Police Officers use the Korean-made Daewoo K1A1 carbine. Like their M16A2s, these are also fitted with 90-round inverted drum magazines. All of them also seem to have M16-style flash hiders rather than the long, conical flash hider that is more commonly seen on the K1A1.
Anne Lewis can be seen using a pistol-grip Benelli M3 Super 90 shotgun in the climax when the cops are shooting at RoboCop 2. Several other officers use these shotguns as well.
Angie (Galyn Görg) can be seen using a pistol-grip, sawed-off Remington 870 fitted with a grenade launcher during the shootout at the Nuke plant. A folding-stock Remington 870 shotgun is briefly visible in the hands of a Detroit police officer in the climax.
