Robocop's Gun
Robocop's gun from its firing sound to
it's apperance really does symbolize the power
and prestige of a finely tuned weapon in the
hands of a finely tuned machine.
In essence the weapon used is a modifed Beretta
m93R. This can be affixed with an optional
shoulder stock and can fire 3 round bursts. Of
course the gun in reality when fired sounds
nothing like the sound which echoes through the
movie. Such is the magic of post production sound
editing.
The weapon has a far larger magazine capacity
than most pistols. The trigger area is larger
this made the gun ideal for the movie since
Robocop had such thick gloved hands.
The forward grip/stabalizer can fold up under the
barrel and can even be holstered in that fashion.
In addition to the firing guns Robocop uses a
variety of stunt ones were made as well of resin.Pictures
at the right show 2 versions of an unmodified
M93R followed by a version of this firing weapon
someone has actually modified to become the
"Robocop weapon"
Replicas of the Robocop gun include resin casts,
airsoft plastic bb guns from Japan as well as a
more exotic type made by Richard Coyle which
lights up at the tip when the trigger is
depressed.
