[[Image:Live free or Die hard.jpg|thumb|right|400px|Live Free or Die Hard (2007)]]

==SIG-Sauer P220R==

John McClane's ([[Bruce Willis]]'s) main weapon throughout the movie is a [[SIG-Sauer P220 pistol series#SIG P220|SIG-Sauer P220R]] (nowadays, this model is simply known as the standard P220). During the confrontation with Mai Linh ([[Maggie Q]]) in the power plant, she takes the P220 and holds it on Matt Farrel ([[Justin Long]]). After McClane hits her with an SUV, she loses the gun and it is never seen again; McClane later takes a Beretta PX4 Storm from a slain terrorist, which becomes his weapon for the rest of the movie.

== Beretta Px4 Storm ==

A terrorist trying to kill John McClane ([[Bruce Willis]]) is using a silenced [[Beretta Px4 Storm]]. John McClane then picks it up and uses it in the second half of the film. During the final confrontation with Gabriel, McClane drops the pistol, and is then used by Matt Farell to kill Emerson with.

[[Image:Vlcsnap-148085.jpg|thumb|600px|none|McClane firing the Px4 Storm in the climax.]]

==H&K UMP==

Virtually all of the terrorists use the [[Heckler & Koch UMP]]. They are all fitted with C-More optical sights, Surefire M900A vertical grip/flashlight combinations, and flash hiders. McClane commandeers one after the shootout at Matt Farell's apartment, but never uses it.

[[Image:UMP 45.jpg|thumb|none|500px|H&K UMP45 - .45 acp]]

[[Image:Vlcsnap-9213.jpg|thumb|600px|none|McClane holding the terrorist's [[Heckler & Koch UMP]] after capturing it.]]

== Heckler & Koch G36C ==

Another weapon used by the terrorists is the [[Heckler & Koch G36#Heckler & Koch G36C|Heckler & Koch G36C]]. Like the UMPs, they have C-More sights and tactical flashlights mounted on them.

[[Image:Hkg36c.jpg|thumb|500px|none|Heckler & Koch G36C 5.56mm]]
[[Image:DH10.JPG|thumb|600px|none|A terrorist with an H&K G36C]]

== Colt M4A1 Carbine ==

The [[M16 rifle series#M4 Carbine|Colt M4A1 Carbine]] is used by the FBI agents and security guards at the power plant, being fitted with flip-up rear sights, M68 Aimpoint scopes, AN/PEQ-2 lasers, and Surefire M900 weaponlight foregrips.

[[Image:Vlcsnap-29329.jpg|thumb|none|600px|A terrorist holding an M4A1 taken from a security guard at Woodlawn.]]

== Jericho 941 ==

One of the guns Thomas Gabriel ([[Timothy Olyphant]]) uses is a stainless steel [[Jericho 941]], which he holds on McClane's daughter Lucy ([[Mary Elizabeth Winstead]]) in the final confrontation. Later, he puts the Jericho to McClane's shoulder, and McClane simply forces him to pull the trigger, so that Gabriel is shot in the chest through McClane's shoulder.

[[Image:JerichoStainless.jpg|thumb|none|500px|Stainless steel Jericho 941 "Baby Eagle" - this is the actual gun used by [[Timothy Olyphant]] in the film.]]

[[Image:Vlcsnap-42989.jpg|thumb|600px|none|Gabriel puts the Jericho 941 to McClane's head.]]

==Glock 17==

Many of the police officers and security guards throughout the movie are armed with 3rd Generation [[Glock#Glock 17|Glock 17]] pistols. McClane briefly uses one to kill a terrorist disguised as a guard at the power plant.

[[Image:Glock173rdGen.jpg|thumb|none|500px|Glock 17 9mm]]

[[Image:Vlcsnap-145945.jpg|thumb|600px|none|McClane firing a [[Glock#Glock 17|Glock 17]] at a terrorist after snatching it out of his holster.]]

== Beretta 92FS ==

One of the terrorists is seen with a [[Beretta M92F|Beretta 92FS]], likely as a tribute to the original ''[[Die Hard]]'' films which made this gun famous in the US.

[[Image:BerettaM92FS.jpg|thumb|500px|none|Beretta 92FS 9mm]]
[[Image:DH11.JPG|thumb|600px|none|A terrorist with a [[Beretta M92F|92FS]].]]

== Mark 12 Mod 0 SPR==

The gun used by the terrorist snipers, first in the shootout at Matt Farell([[Justin Long]])'s apartment, and later during chase scene in Washington D.C., is the [[M16 rifle series#Mk 12 Special Purpose Rifle|Mark 12 Mod 0 SPR (Special Purpose Rifle)]]. This is a little-known AR15 derivative developed by Crane and is used by U.S. SOCOM personnel in Iraq, Afghanistan, and other hot-spots globally. The Mod 0 uses a PRI carbon fiber handguard where the Mod 1 uses either a Knight Armament or LaRue Tactical free-floating aluminum handguard. The weapons in the movie are fitted with suppressors, brass catchers, Surefire M900 weaponlight foregrips, as well as AN/PEQ-2 IR designators and are fired on automatic (which suggests that the terrorists simply took the upper receivers/barrels and slapped them on full-auto lowers).

== Heckler & Koch P2000SK==

Mai Lihn ([[Maggie Q]]) uses a suppressed [[Heckler & Koch P2000|Heckler & Koch P2000SK]] when she and some terrorists are in the power plant.

[[ Image:H&KP2000SK left.jpg‎|thumb|none|500px|Heckler & Koch P2000SK 9x19mm]]

[[Image:Vlcsnap-31007.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Mai Lihn working at a computer terminal with the P2000SK beside her.]]

==Heckler & Koch USP Tactical==

During the scene at the power plant, McClane runs into a terrorist who is armed with a [[Heckler & Koch USP#Heckler & Koch USP Tactical|Heckler & Koch USP Tactical]] fitted with a KAC suppressor. McClane fires his SIG P220R and the terrorist fires the USP Tactical simultaneously over each other's heads before knocking each other's guns away. McClane eventually gets a Glock 17 out of the terrorist's holster and uses it to kill him.

[[Image:Vlcsnap-145301.jpg|thumb|600px|none|The terrorist pointing the H&K USP Tactical at McClane, while McClane points his SIG P220R at him.]]

== Heckler & Koch MP5 ==
A few of the FBI agents in Washington are seen carring MP5s.

[[Image:H&KMP5A5.jpg|thumb|none|500px|Heckler and Koch MP5A5 9mm .]]

== Heckler & Koch MP7A1 ==

Another gun used by Thomas Gabriel ([[Timothy Olyphant]]) is the [[Heckler & Koch MP7A1]] using one to kill some of his associates, and later Gabriel's henchman Emerson ([[Edoardo Costa]]) uses a [[Heckler & Koch MP7A1]] to wound McClane moments before the rescue of his daughter Lucy ([[Mary Elizabeth Winstead]]). Later, Lucy knocks the MP7 out of Emerson's hands and tries to kick it to McClane, but Gabriel intercepts the weapon before it reaches McClane.

[[Image:Hk mp7 b-1-.jpg|thumb|none|500px|H&K MP7A1 4.6x30mm with Zeiss Z-Point sight]]
[[Image:Vlcsnap-148320.jpg|thumb|600px|none|Emerson holding his H&K MP7A1 after using it to wound McClane.]]

==Heckler & Koch USP Compact==

Emerson's ([[Edoardo Costa]]'s) sidearm is a [[Heckler & Koch USP#Heckler & Koch USP Compact|Heckler & Koch USP Compact]] which Lucy grabs after she knocks the MP7A1 out of his hands and shoots him in the foot with it, but he restrains her and holds it on her.

[[Image:USPCompact9.jpg|thumb|none|500px|H&K USP Compact 9mm.]]

Die Hard with a Vengeance

2009-05-21T09:47:22Z

NickoD: /* H&K MP5K */

'''The following weapons appear in the film Die Hard with a Vengence:'''
[[Image:5115RRH0F6L SS500 .jpg|right|450px]]

==Beretta 92FS==

John McClane's ([[Bruce Willis]]) weapon of choice, the [[Beretta M92F#Beretta 92 FS|Beretta 92FS]] is given to him once he is reinstated. He uses it several times throughout the movie, most notably to kill a pair of pursuing terrorists in a pickup during the movie's big car chase. Katya ([[Sam Phillips]]) also uses one while in Canada, when McClane's chopper surprises her and Simon Gruber ([[Jeremy Irons]]) during a quick tryst.

[[Image:DH3-Beretta92FS.jpg|thumb|300px|none|A Beretta 92FS 9mm configured for left-handed firing.

==Glock 17==

A transit cop uses a [[Glock#Glock 17|Glock 17]] to hold Zeus Carver ([[Samuel L. Jackson]]) at gunpoint during the subway scene.

[[Image:DH3 Glock-2.jpg|thumb|none|400px|"''If you have to shoot me, then you go ahead and you shoot me! But I have to answer this phone alright?!''".]]

== Glock 19 ==

The security guards at the Federal Reserve Bank of New York appear to carry [[Glock 19]]s. The Terrorists that McClane shoots in the elevator are also armed with [[Glock#Glock 19|Glock 19]]s.

[[Image:Wviewpoint 0430.jpg|thumb|none|300px|Glock 19 9mm]]

== Makarov PM ==

While Simon and his men steal the gold out of The Federal Reserve Bank of New York, Simon Gruber ([[Jeremy Irons]]) can be seen armed with a [[Makarov PM]].

== Mossberg 500 ==

When Simon and his men steal the gold out of The Federal Reserve Bank of New York, one of the security guards can be seen loading up a [[Mossberg 500-series shotgun#Mossberg 590|Mossberg 590]] with a heatshield and firing it at and missing Simon and his men before he is killed by Katya.

[[Image:DH3 Mossberg-2.jpg|thumb|400px|none|A security guard fires a [[Mossberg 500-series shotgun#Mossberg 500|Mossberg 500]].]]

==H&K MP5K==

A common weapon seen used by the terrorists are [[H&K MP5#Heckler & Koch MP5K|Heckler & Koch MP5K]] submachineguns. During their infiltration of the cargo ship, John McClane ([[Bruce Willis]]) takes one off of a dead terrorist and gives it to Zeus Carver ([[Samuel L. Jackson]]) before sending him off to find Simon Gruber ([[Jeremy Irons]]). When Zeus does, he corners Simon and threatens to kill him if he doesn't give out the code to disarm a school-planted bomb (later found to be a decoy). Simon refuses and Zeus pulls the trigger, only to find the gun on safe. Simon disarms him, notes the fact and then shoots Zeus in the leg.

Comment: Before the climax scene when the MP5Ks are being handed out, one terrorist is seen cocking the foregrip instead of the actual cocking handle.

==MAC-10==

John McClane ([[Bruce Willis]]) lifts a [[MAC-10#MAC-10|MAC-10]] off of a dead cargo ship terrorist after his fight with Targo ([[Nicholas Wyman]]), taking it and the Beretta up to the bridge, where, after discovering that the bomb they were chasing after is on board the ship itself, he is disarmed by Simon Gruber ([[Jeremy Irons]]) and his men.

==Walther PPK==

While preparing to depart the doomed cargo ship, Simon Gruber ([[Jeremy Irons]]) and Katya ([[Sam Phillips]]) are confronted by Targo ([[Nicholas Wyman]]), who discovered earlier what was really the cargo on the ship. After Targo accuses Simon of betrayal, Katya draws a nickel-plated [[Walther PP/PPK#Walther PPK|Walther PPK]] with pearl grips and empties the magazine into Targo, killing him.

==M60 Machine Gun==

During the movie's finale in Canada, Simon Gruber ([[Jeremy Irons]]) uses an [[M60 machine gun]] from the seat of a helicopter to shoot down a nearby chopper holding John McClane ([[Bruce Willis]]), Zeus Carver ([[Samuel L. Jackson]]), and a NYPD pilot. He then very nearly kills McClane with the gun before McClane shoots a nearby power line, dropping it onto Simon's chopper. Simon only has time for one final burst before his chopper crashes, killing him.

[[Image:DH3_M60-2.jpg|thumb|none|400px|Simon looks McClane in the eye with his [[M60 machine gun|M60]] in hand.]]

==Smith & Wesson Model 36==

During the movie's finale in Canada, John McClane ([[Bruce Willis]]) uses the only gun available to him - a Smith & Wesson Model 36 revolver (chambered in .38 S&W) - while under attack from Simon Gruber ([[Jeremy Irons]]). Despite overwhelming odds - Simon being in a chopper, armed with a M60 belt-fed machine gun vs. McClane having only two rounds left after firing three from his own chopper earlier in the scene - McClane is able to gain the upper hand, and victory, when Simon's chopper ends up under a high-voltage power line. McClane uses the two remaining bullets in his gun to shoot and detach the power cable, dropping it onto Simon's chopper and causing the chopper to crash and burn, killing Simon.

This is not a S&W Centennial Airweight as previously claimed (noticed the external hammer).

[[Image:DH3 SW.jpg|thumb|none|400px|McClane loads the remaining two bullets into the [[Smith & Wesson Model 36]] after checking the load and discarding the used cartridges.]]

== Smith & Wesson Model 60 ==

Near the beginning of the film, McClaine is forced by Simon, under threat of another bomb being detonated, to go into Harlem stripped down to his underwear and wearing a sign with a racial slur written on it. His fellow officers, unwilling to send him into such a situation totally defenseless, tape a [[Smith & Wesson Model 60]] revolver to his back. The situation inevitably deteriorates, McClaine's life being saved when Zeus steps in and grabs the revolver off McClaine's back, using it to intimidate the assembled mob into backing off long enough for the two to escape.

== Uzi SMG ==

Another frequently-used weapon by Simon's men is the [[Uzi#Uzi|Uzi sub-machine gun]]. It is most notably seen in the scene where Simon's men rig the dam to blow in the aqueduct in an attempt to drown McClaine as he's persuing them.

== M16 Variant ==

Just before they blow up the dam, one of Simon's men can be seen with an [[M16]] variant of some sort.

[[Image:DH3-M16.jpg|thumb|none|400px|One of Simon's Men has an [[M16]] Variant.]]

== M40 Sniper Rifle ==

At Yankee's stadium, one of Simon's men aims a [[Remington 700|M40 Sniper Rifle]] fitted with a suppressor and large scope at Zeus, but does not fire it.

NickoD: /* Walther PP */

'''The following guns were used in the film ''[[The Great Escape]]'':'''
[[Image:GreatEscapeCover.jpg|thumb|right|300px|''The Great Escape (1963)'']]

==Karabiner 98k==
German soldiers at the camp are seen armed with [[Karabiner 98k]] rifles, although like many WWII films between 1960-1980, the [[MP40]] is innaccurately portrayed as the main weapon of the German Army.
[[Image:Karabiner-98K.jpg|thumb|none|400px|Karabiner 98k - 7.92x57mm.]]

The planes in the airfield are American AT-6 Texan trainers mocked up with German paint, although the plane they steal is an authentic German Bucker Bu 181 "Bestmann".]]

This gun has a straight bolt, which isn't correct for the era as the German issued models had turned bolts. This implies this is a Kar98k stock and barrel with an older 1920s straight bolt action reciever.]]

==MP40==
The [[MP40]] submachine gun is the most commonly seen weapon in the hands of German soldiers.

[[Image:GEMP40-1.jpg|thumb|none|600px|German soldiers armed with MP40s.]]

[[Image:GEMP40-4.jpg|thumb|none|600px|German soldiers point their MP40s at Hilts after they shoot his Motorcycle and he skids into barbed wire. Without the bolts cocked back, the guns are rather useless.]]
[[Image:GEMP40-5.jpg|thumb|none|600px|A French resistance member with an MP40 hands Sedgewick over to a Spanish guide.]]

==Luger P08==
All high ranking officers and soldiers at the camp keep [[Luger P08]] pistols as their sidearms. After the escape, Cpt. Hilts ([[Steve McQueen]]) plants clear wire on a road way and causes a German soldier on a bike (secretivly played by Steve McQueen) to crash. He steals the soldier's uniform and Luger before eventually being captured.

[[Image:GELugerP08-3.jpg|thumb|none|600px|One of the German soldiers that captures Lt. Hendley ([[James Garner]]) is seen with a Luger P08.]]

==MG42==
German soldiers man [[MG42]] machine guns in the camp perimeter towers. One of the French resistance soldiers is also seen mowing down Germans with one during a drive by shooting. The final time one is used is to massacre the 50 excaped POWs, even though in actually history, they were executed at different times.
[[Image:MG42.jpg|thumb|none|400px|MG42 - 7.92x57mm.]]

[[Image:GEMG42-5.jpg|thumb|none|600px|A German soldier executes the 50 POWs with an MG42.]]

==Walther PP==
Some of the Germans trying to track the escaped POWs use [[Walther PP Pistol Series#Walther PP|Walther PP]] pistols.
[[Image:Walther PP.jpg|thumb|none|400px|Walther PP - .380 ACP.]]
[[Image:GEWaltherPP-1.jpg|thumb|none|600px|A German soldier tries to draw his Walther PP while struggling with Lt Cmdr Eric Ashley-Pitt "Dispersal" ([[David McCallum]]).]]

[[Image:GEWaltherPP-4.jpg|thumb|none|600px|A German officer arrests Squadron Leader Roger Bartlett "Big X" ([[Richard Attenborough]]) with a Walther PP.]]

==Mauser 1934==
A German soldier stops Squadron Leader Roger Bartlett "Big X" ([[Richard Attenborough]]) on the street and holds a [[Mauser Pistol Series|Mauser 1934]] "Humpback" pistol on him before being convinced he is a citizen by his fluent German and authentic papers. While it could be a Mauser 1910 or 1914 pistol, it is likely a 1934 since this is a WWII film.
[[Image:Mauser1934.jpg|thumb|none|400px|Mauser 1934 - .32 ACP.]]

[[Image:GEMauser1910-2.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The German with his Mauser 1934.]]

==Unknown Sniper Rifle==
A German soldier is seen using an unknown sniper rifle to shoot Flight Lt. Colin Blythe "The Forger" ([[Donald Pleasence]]). It would appear to be a sporterized Kar98k with a scope, although an actually Kar98k sniper rifle issued at the time was not sporterized.

==Mauser 1934==
A German soldier stops Squadron Leader Roger Bartlett "Big X" ([[Richard Attenborough]]) on the street and holds a [[Mauser Pistol Series|Mauser 1934]] "Humpback" pistol on him before being convinced he is a citizen by his fluent German and authentic papers. While it could be a Mauser 1910 or 1914 pistol, it is likely a 1934 since this is a WWII film.
