The original "Running Scared" with Billy Crystal and Gregory Hines (RIP) is a great gun movie.
For those of you who haven't seen it, they play a pair of undercover Chicago cops. In contrast to the "Let's be careful out there," motto of "Hill Street Blues," when things go bad, their commander asks them, "You weren't being careful, were you"? Careful get's you killed."
There's a great scene early in the movie where they are mugged by a couple of thugs with zip-guns. Billy Crystal explains why his police issue .38 is better than their crappy, home-made .22.s'
This is also a great shoot-out that shows how confusing a shoot out can be and how important it is to properly ID your target. (And to wear body armor).
This is also one of the few movies where charactes are shown charging their magazines before hand. There's a great scene where the characters are loading UZI mags and the mags are spread all over a couple tables.
If you haven't seen it, rent it. It's a comedy, but it's a notch above a lot of other '80s buddy-movie comedies.
