Direct Hit is a 1994 action movie directed by Joseph Merhi and Paul G. Volk and starring William Forsythe as Hatch, a hitman on CIA service. Hatch plans to retire but his superior James Tronson (George Segal) gives him one last mission: to assassinate a young woman who, as Tronson says, blackmails the politician Terry Daniels (John Aprea).
The following weapons were used in the film Direct Hit:
Pistols
Glock 17
Hatch (William Forsythe) carries a pair of Glock pistols, a Glock 17 and a Glock 19, sometimes used with sound suppressor. In several scenes Hatch dual-wields Glocks. During the encounter in Deets' house he gives Glock 17 to Savannah (Jo Champa). Some mobsters carry Glock pistols during the shootout in restaurant.

Glock 19 is Hatch's second pistol.
Beretta 92FS
Beretta 92FS pistols are widely used by mobsters during the shootout in restaurant and by CIA operatives, including Rogers (Richard Norton), and police officers throughout the movie. In one scene Hatch (William Forsythe) takes a Beretta from Phelps (Gary Roberts) and uses it in the following shootout.
Desert Eagle Mark VII
In the scene in restaurant gun dealer Kovar (Mel Novak) shows a Desert Eagle Mark VII, fitted with underbarrel laser aiming device; he claims the gun to be Zimmerman XT1 with laser sighting, brought from the Gulf War. Kovar uses this pistol during the car chase. In the climactic shootout one of CIA operatives uses same looking gun. This gun appear to be the same prop that is seen in Zero Tolerance and Cyber Tracker, filmed the same year and sharing the same armorer.
Ruger KP89
In the final scene Terry Daniels (John Aprea) and James Tronson (George Segal) carry Ruger KP89 pistols.
Walther PPK
A Walther PPK is one of the handguns, used by Hatch's partner (uncredited) in the opening scene. In another scene Shelly (Juliet Landau) draws a PPK.

Heckler & Koch MP5K Replica

Trivia
SerLea SMG
SerLea (or SerLea-ACE) is a double barreled submachine gun, designed by a Lebanese gunsmith who brought the design to the USA in 1990. Los Angeles Police Department showed interest in the design but rejected the proposal at last. A single prototype, owned by Arms Craft & Engineering (hence ACE in the name), was loaned to a movie studio and appeared in Direct Hit (all firearms for the movie were supplied by Arms Craft & Engineering and advised by armourer Micha Hamilton).
The weapon has twin barrels, twin magazines, and twin bolts, with a synchronizing device to turn the weapon into a single high rate of fire submachine gun. It is claimed that the weapon may fire one barrel at a time only if one magazine is inserted but in the movie SerLea fires both barrels alternately (see screenshots).
