Mel Gibson's Beretta 92 in Lethal Weapon

The Beretta 92 in Lethal Weapon was the first gun I ever remember noticing as a kid and is what was responsible for me becoming a firearms enthusiast. I have an SB just like yours.

[@al28854]

for me it was The Killer (1989) and A Better Tomorrow (1986) both directed by John Woo. I didn't make that connection until I saw Die Hard and Lethal Weapon movies on VHS rental, at age 13. As soon as I bought my 92FS, I painted the Beretta logos white on the grip panels, just like in the 1st LW movie.

[@ron5545]

@@al28854 I always wondered if the painted logos were done by the armorer/prop master or some kind of special edition grips from Beretta themselves. I believe they were silver but they look gold in the shooting range scene but that could just be the lighting.

[@Blando7887]

Me too, when I was a kid I thought the Beretta 92 was a 45. wasnt til years later I discovered it was 9mm

[@duckman5290]

It was my first handgun when I turned 21, got the INOX finish. Then I added the internal green laser. I even tried doing the Jet Li grab & slide removal move from LW3 (plausible)

[@ron5545]

@@duckman5290 If you pause that scene, you'll see the take down lever on the 92 is already down so bit of a movie cheat there. It's definitely plausible and with practice _maybe_ it could be pulled off in a real life, stress inducing situation. You'd need the shooter to have a slow trigger finger though and/or momentarily be distracted. If you get a grip on the slide and push it back just enough to get it out of battery so it couldn't be shot, that adds some viability to the maneuver. It's funny how some folks will say they won't carry a 92 for the reason that it could be disarmed that 'easily' as if every assailant on Earth has Jet Li's speed or they're so incompetent to let someone within arm's reach of their firearm.

John Woo, the director of "Hard Boiled" and many many others said that the 92 is his favorite pistol... its 'handsome', it has 'character', it has 'personality'... its his 1st choice... also Face Off (1997) with Cage and Travolta...

[@al28854]

cage had 1911s and travolta had sig p226 in that movie

[@Belgand]

Seriously. John Woo putting it in Chow Yun-Fat's hands is one of the most notable uses in film after Lethal Weapon. A Better Tomorrow, The Killer, and Hard-Boiled being the most notable. He made dual 92s iconic, and is almost certainly the reason why Neo uses them in The Matrix.

Don't forget Chow Yun-fat dual wielding 92 F Berettas in all those classic John Woo movies from Hongkong. Also, the single/double- action trigger made this gun very popular among law enforcement, it's still used as a service pistol in various countries' police forces to this day. P. S. About the "smiley face'': there's a recent video where Mel Gibson is at Taran Butler's range & Taran actually shoots a smiley face on a target, so it's possible.

[@reddevilparatrooper]

After seeing Lethal Weapon I bought a Taurus PT-92 back in the early 1990s as a cheaper alternative for the Beretta 92 FS. I had the gun for a year and sold it for the same price as I had bought it and got an original Beretta 92FS. I was in the Army National Guard after I got out of the Regular Army. I learned how to shoot better with guys from the Sheriffs Department introducing me to Defensive Pistol Shooting Association before it became IDPA. During Army National Guard Qualification for pistol I topped every qualification and defeated the Regular Army during state and interservice pistol qualification with the M9. Not a bad service handgun for a 9mm Parabellum. I really love the 1911 personally and did quite well with it too.

[@DavidLLambertmobile]

I owned 2 new, surplus Beretta 96D .40 models 1 in 1997, 1 in 2007. DA only Berettas were popular with a few state agency officers, US Border Patrol, INS. Border Marshal. Beretta had a 92DS a model with a manual safety but that was ended around 1995.

I also bought a Taurus PT-92 right after watching that movie, it was the helicopter scene that really motivated me on high cap wonder nines, and i still shoot and carry custom tuned Berretta's and 1911's today. This movie, Die Hard and Miami Vice killed the revolver for fighting handguns.

It is no surprise the Beretta 92 is so common in cinema. It is easy to convert to blank firing blow back without any external changes, they are readily available, they had wide spread adoption meaning it can suit many roles, and last but not least it looks sexy. The lines of the slide and exposed barrel just look so Italian sports car.

[@BunyipDude]

@@Jesses001 Yep, this true. Canadian armorer Charles Taylor mentioned this to Ian McCollum for the “Forgotten Weapons” episode he was on. Converting a Beretta 92-series pistol to blank fire is as simple as threading the barrel for the blank adapter, and slightly filing down the locking lugs. It’s not like most semi-auto pistols (such as Glocks or SIGs) where armorers have to tinkle with the barrel lock-up endlessly to make them reliable.

[@DavidLLambertmobile]

@Jesses001 The popular TV series, Walker Texas Ranger- CBS 1990s, early 2000s often used Beretta 92FSs & Taurus guns. I often speculated this was a blanks, holsters, parts issue. 9mm blank rounds, magazines, gear would be quick, easy to keep track of on set, location.

[@BunyipDude]

@ Almost every “Beretta” in “Walker: Texas Ranger” was a Taurus PT92 or PT99, including the stainless gun with the Star of Texas grips that Walker himself carried in Seasons 3-7. I recall that there was one episode where Walker used an actual Beretta 92F that he captured from a bad guy (first episode of Season 8, IIRC), but that was just about it.

The Professional was such a cool movie. My dad worked at disney for 37 years. He maintained and worked on their firearms used in the jungle cruise and the golden horseshoe. He knew a guy at stembridge gun rentals, so he took me there in the mid 90s. They had conex boxes full of mp5s, augs etc. I cant even tell you how many berettas were there. The coolest things i got to hold ( so I was told by the employee) were the cutdown double barrel from Desperado and the m134 minigun from Predator. Keep up the good work sir, well done!

[@boomanh63]

I bought my 92F shortly after Lethal Weapon came out. An original built in Italy. Still going strong after all these years. Of course it has been maintained correctly with replacement springs every 5000 rounds or so. I probably have 20,000 rounds through it if not a bit more. I used to work for a place that I had well over 60,000 rounds through one when the frame finally decided it start cracking chunks off. Beretta wanted that frame back for research as they never expected on to live beyond 40 to 50 thousand rounds.

[@thegrumpygamer3081]

Back in the day when we allowed in the UK, I nearly bought a 92F, but I tried one on a range and it was just a bit too big for my hands and that made it not comfortable to draw fast or fire. I ended up getting a CZ 75 which became my pistol for the practical pistol competitions I used to shoot.

FYI: The two main guns of Lethal Weapon movies are the Beretta R-92F (9mm) and the S&W-19 (.357-magnum). The Beretta R-92FS is available for the American market. You can send your Beretta R-92FS to Wilson Combat for conversion to a R93-G. The G model is a decocker only pistol. The G conversion eliminates that useless safety on the slide. Makes a Beretta work like a Sig-226. Sig's are decocker only pistols. The S&W-19 revolvers are still made. Speed loaders are available for faster reloading a revolver. There are also steep strips to hold extra cartridges.

[@InquisitorDrake]

I first fell in love with the beretta 92 as a kid. Yes as a result of Lethal Weapon and Die Hard. Years later after having idolized this weapon, I used it in the Army. Now it was rare that I ever had a sidearm, because I wasnt an officer, and while you would think that pistols would be a perfect weapon for truck drivers and tank crews and the like, the military has other thinking. Anyway. I did however use it often enough to get really, really familiar with it and truely learn to respect the particulars of this weapon. This was the early 200's when Polymer guns were all the rage, and really coming into their own due to the Glock and everybody and their dog trying to copy. But I actually preferred my Beretta. Solid metal alloy frame, to absorb recoil and get me back on target. Large frame means long distance between sights for better accuracy. And a high capacity means that i have more than enough ammo for a single altercation, even if theirs more than one assailant. Still carry this weapon today. Granted, concealed carry means I have to use a shoulder rig, but oh well.

I have not seen that film in years, going to have to dig it out now 👊

[@t3h51d3w1nd3r]

This is the gun that got me properly into guns as a kid, it's such a good looking design and although I didn't know it at the time, it was already my favourite gun as Robocops gun was based on the M93r and modified. My dad bought me a BB gun version of it in black, I loved it so much, I still have it to this along side a replica M93r Auto 9C. You're not biased, I drew a smiley face on a target too...........but it was only 10 yards away or under.

Thanks for commenting and sharing your stories mate.

[@rowbownerd]

I know how you feel. I received one of the real Auto-9s about 4 years ago after being obsessed with it (and the movies) for 30plus years. I had the static replicas and water guns and then BB versions and then the KSC and MGC. Finally got my hands on a screen used one.

[@Rogge73]

I swear to god, LW is absolutely timeless!!! I LOVE that film!!!!!! ❤❤

[@chriswilson9331]

Hell yeah! Beretta lore! I absolutely love mine, I have the FS model. Also, Robocop used a Beretta, built from a Beretta 93R, it use the firing mechanism of the 92. 👌

Another great video . I had an old 92s heal mag release years ago . I sent it to beretta when I had it and they literally changed every spring and full detail cleaning for free and mailed it back in new box . I should have never traded it .

[@hollywoodguns]

This is why should only buy, never sell.

[@bdevereaux]

Back when Canadians were allowed to own handguns, I had a Beretta Inox in 9mm. Greatest gun I had ever owned. Problem being, parts were hard to find. The inox 9mm was a "Type T" and the regular 9mm FS is the "Type M"

[@albertfoxx2922]

The Boondock Saints made this Gun my favorite right after Lethal weapon

[@bradleybeauchamp5582]

When the Beretta 92FS was released it looked identical to the 92F and M9 variant. The 92FS at some point a fair amount of years later had some upgrades done to it, I guess if you can call them that. The dust cover area right beneath the recoil spring and guide rod for whatever reason got slanted down or up whichever way you want to look at it. I assume it was done in an attempt to streamline the gun and make it look better, and or it could make for easier holstering but I doubt that was the reason. Then they recessed the upper area of the grip under the beaver tail to allow people with smaller hands to be able to get a better grip and have less distance for trigger reach. I personally don't really care for how the 92FS dust cover area looks as I'm more accustomed to the original look that originally got me into the Beretta 92 platform thanks to Die Hard and Lethal Weapon and also having a perfect replica water pistol at the time in my youth, lol. The Mec-Gar magazines are 18 rounds not 17, but I believe at some point like over 15 years ago they were selling the 17 round magazines. Back in the mid to later 90's I remember seeing 17 round Beretta 92 magazines listed in gun magazines and I think they were made by Mec-Gar or possibly some other after market company.

[@hollywoodguns]

Thanks for all the extra info.

Beretta 92FS, Paul Harrell's handgun of choice. RIP Paul, a great KZbin contributor. You mention Kate Beckinsale, her father Richard was the consummate underdog British comedy actor. I believe his last role was a straight leading man in a one-off TV drama Last Summer kzbin.info/www/bejne/fGekYXdrf5agrpY Might be of interest to you as a snapshot of your childhood London. I often went to Eastern Europe before the Iron Curtain dropped or The Wall Fell. Once you got there, everything was dirt cheap. Developed a habit of watching films. International releases were in English, subtitled to the local language. 1988 me and my friend had to shut the *F* up when we realised we were laughing well before the locals got the joke and were not amusing them. 1999 or 2000 saw Mel Gibson in Payback in what looked like a school lecture theatre in České Budějovice. A properly violent film! Pointless ramblings, but everything including the gun, the lead actor and another actress using the gun were covered with odd bits of background.

[@blackscotydog]

I knew someone would drop Paul`s name in ref to the 92 fs........Dam I miss that guy.

[@COIcultist]

@@blackscotydog It would be a sin not to mention him. I don't believe like some that he is due beatification. At the beginning with the "Disaster Contingency Specialists" stuff, he was a bit too close to the bearded tattooed expert clone that he later laughed at. Ah, but when he hit his stride he was good, had a lot of original ideas, and he wasn't trying to do infomercials or shill stuff. Come on 92FS how do you not mention Paul Harrell, it would be like a musician's review of a Höfner 501 bass and not mentioning a different Paul!

[@jeddyhi]

I own a Beretta 92FS directly because of Lethal Weapon.

[@christophergraham3160]

The range scene in "Lethal Weapon" is something I did to my wife at an indoor range in Phoenix, AZ. Albeit, with a Canik 9mm, not a Beretta. She fired a single round at 7 meters and hit dead-center headshot. I fired at 21 meters and made a smiley face. Proof that 9mm is, indeed, quite an accurate round, given a full-sized sidearm. The only thing good that I have to say about compact-sized sidearms (pocket pistols) is that they're easy to conceal.

[@kyledunn6853]

Ever since I got my own Beretta 92FS, I got a Die Hard t-shirt and sweatshirt, and I have it on my person every Christmas.

[@hollywoodguns]

I have Christmas gift coming that you might enjoy then!

[@jerryg4688]

I bought mine after seeing the lady in the movie Shooter waste the bad guy in the scene on snow mountain. Stainless with pearl grips, I bought one just like it.

[@jackusmc2542]

Another good one. I agree, this is my Christmas movie along with Die Hard. That was interesting that John McClane and Martin Riggs used the same gun! Keep up the good work.

[@hollywoodguns]

Thanks Jack! On topic, The same mini gun used in predator was also used in Terminator 2 as well. Apparently this sort of multiple use of the same prop gun is actually quite common in Hollywood.

[@jasonengland2357]

My first gun was my Baretta 92 because of movies with it.

[@KomodoKebab]

I like that you don't rush things in your videos and that overall the vids don't feel too "busy". Also the check for clear at the start of each is a nice touch to help encourage good practice.

[@thelastminuteman7513]

Honorable videogame mention Max Payne. Max's signature weapons in the first game were pair of Berettas with 17rd mags each paying homage to John Woos Hard Boiled. It even uses the same or at least mimics the gunshot sound effect from Hard Boiled.

[@bassettraceengines]

Mel Gibson blinked every shot. He could not hit the side barn.

[@ksavage681]

He’s actually an expert marksman in real life. 😂

[@dbelex]

Yup, made me laugh . Hollywood so called experts suck.

[@IvanDragunova]

I made the same drawing of a smile (16.00) (or almost) with a Beretta 92S. At a distance of 25 meters (almost 27.5 yards). It was of course a total coincidence, and I didn't try to draw the smile, but it was a nice series. I don't know how to put a picture here. The same gun (Beretta 92F) was used for the two movies, it was specially configured for Bruce Willis (he's left-handed), and was auctioned off a few months ago. I hesitated to buy it, but it was too expensive, and I already own several Beretta 92's.

[@laskocool7250]

It's the best Christmas movie ever! Home Alone was good too though.

In 86 “A Better Tomorrow” John Woo film(Hong Kong), Chow Yun Fat already used Berretta 92F in the movie

[@maverickfoxbmsn]

The first handgun I bought was the Beretta 92FS and I really miss my gun because unfortunately I’m currently stationed in Japan.

[@Blando7887]

I bought a 92S Milsurp, loved it, kept it about 4 years. Stupidly sold it. I seriously missed that pistol, I ended up getting a new 92FS. Im also a huge fan of the Browning Hipower which I luckily inherited one.

[@hollywoodguns]

Thats why I dont sell. So many coulda, shoulda, woulda stories from folks on the ones they let get away.

[@chadhard7547]

This movie is the reason why I bought and was my very first pistol ever to buy.

[@JosephSawyer-r3x]

Wanted this pistol since I was 12

[@billfisher2890]

The one that you have the 96 i had a 92fs 9mm looked just like that till hand guns were banned in the uk great gun 😁
