THE WEAPONS IN ROBOCOP
In depth information on RoboCops gun, the Auto-9, and other weapons used in the movies and series. Everything from the ED-209s guns to the weapons used by the Clarence and Cain gangs.
ED-209 WEAPONS
The movie version of ED 209 was equiped with heavy armament. Conceived as having a modular weapons system, ED's left hand was equipped with one 20mm gun and had been further retrofitted with three heat-seeking missiles.
The right hand held two additional 20mm guns. And in a clever touch - never used in the film - a pocket behind the robot's head was equipped with twin launchers which could be loaded with either mortars or gas grenades for crowd control.
THE COBRA ASSAULT CANNON
The "Cobra gun" that is used in RoboCop1 is based on the Barrett M82A1A Sniper rifle. In the movies it has some gadgets and things on it like the small monitor on top wich was supposed to show some basic computer grafics. This was later removed due to budget reasons. The Cobra gun bullets were also supposed to drill itself into the target before exploding, but that was also removed for much the same reasons.
The Cobra gun used in RoboCop2 is different from the one in RoboCop1. Robo2 uses a Pauza P-50 rifle caliber .50 BMG.
The most obvious difference is the front of the rifle and the handle wich Robo carries the rifle with. It also doesn't have the gadgets on top, such as the monitor.
The Cobra gun also makes a short apperances in RoboCop:The Series and RoboCop:Prime Directives.
POLICE GUN
The standard issue handgun seems to be a Heckler and Koch P9S. This is supported by the fact that almost all the guns in the target shooting training area scene were P9S.
The scene in which Murphy is practicing his TJ Laser trick clearly shows a SIG-Sauer pistol. It's either the p220 introduced in 1975, the p226 introduced in 1983. Both are externally identical but the p220 fires either 9 rounds of 9mm, or 7 to 8 shots of .45ACP and the p226 fires 15 rounds of 9mm.
BAD GUY GUNS
The 7-Eleven criminal has a British Sterling 9mm Submachinegun> and the the hostage-taker in city hall has a Israeli Military Industries Uzi 9mm submachinegun.
Clarence Boddicker uses a Desert Eagle 44 and Dick Jones in teh end scene used the same gun but in a chrome plated version.
Leon in the Disco scene uses the now extinct LAR Grizzly which can be seen by its distinctly shaped, buffed-up Colt1911-frame but with an extra two-inch barrel protrusion
at the nose. It also has a big grip-knob protruding backwards, between the grip and the hammer.
The "boom-box" was used by Hob the child villain in RoboCop 2. The Utah Carter custom boom box machine gun fires 9mm and can, just like in the movie, be turned into a "box".
Other bad guy guns used in RoboCop are Pump-Action shotguns, Mac-10s, 9mm autos.There's also 1911 pistols and Beretta 92 9mm pistols.
BONEMACHINES QUADRA GUNS
BoneMachine, the villain from RoboCop: Prime Directives, wears four-barelled metallic cylinders on the end of each arm called "Quadra Guns" and were entirely made up by the script writers for PD.
The "Quadra Guns" are able to fire a variey of weapons,
including tear gas and automatic machine gun fire.
The metal cylinders themselves weigh over 30 pounds apiece, have 9mm Czechoslovakian Scorpion machine
pistols (which are quite tiny just a bit larger than a typical handgun) outfitted with blanks inside, and had to be supported by wooden crates as the actor waited to shoot his part.
The gauntlets were, after filming was completed, sold at Director Julian Grants garage sale in Toronto. After that they found their way to EBAY where the "Quadra Guns" got an unknown buyer.
