Blade Runner
Harrison Ford plays Blade Runner Rick Deckard. Blade Runners are special division police officers who hunt down and kill android replicants.
Plager Katsumate Series-D blaster
Deckard is armed with a Plager Katsumate Series-D blaster throughout the film. The prop was constructed from parts of a Steyr-Mannlicher Model SL rifle and a Charter Arms Bulldog revolver.

The above is actually a fan made blaster sculpted by Rick Ross.
The gun in the film did not have any official name or designation.
It was, for years, thought lost, or put in mothballs on the studio lot somewhere. Stunt castings of the weapon made the rounds, and some of them hang on the walls of Planet Hollywood and reside among cherished private collections.

The hero prop surfaced a few years ago, and was profusely photographed by Karl Tate.

COP 357 Derringer
In the opening scene, Leon is armed with a COP .357 four-barrel derringer. The prop gun was modified to fire two barrels at a time to provide a more dramatic muzzle flash.
