Lethal Weapon 2 (1989) The poster image is obviously reversed as the slide release and take down lever are on the wrong side in the photo. The flip was most likely done for aesthetics (although it led to gun confusion). Note the tipped up slide release lever, meaning that the magazine is empty.

Lethal Weapon 2 is the second installment in the Lethal Weapon film franchise. Mel Gibson and Danny Glover return as Detectives Martin Riggs and Roger Murtaugh, who find themselves having to protect an accountant who holds the key to uncovering a large money laundering conspiracy that involves South African diplomats.

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



WARNING! POSSIBLE SPOILERS!

Pistols

Beretta 92FS

Unlike the original Lethal Weapon (where a Beretta 92F was carried), Detective Martin Riggs (Mel Gibson) carries a Beretta 92FS as his primary sidearm in this film, and as such, uses it frequently throughout the film. In a memorable scene, Riggs empties the magazine of his Beretta into one of the main villain's henchmen while remembering the names of his friends and loved ones. Other LAPD detectives are also seen with Berettas.

Beretta 92SB-C

During the raid of the South African residence, Detective Collins (Grand L. Bush) can be seen wielding a Beretta 92SB-C. Not a 92FS Centurion or a 92FS Compact, as they weren't released until 1992, and since this film was released in 1989, it would have to be a 92SB Compact Version. It is also noted as a 92SB-C by its rounded trigger guard.
