Chill Factor is a 1999 action film starring Skeet Ulrich and Cuba Gooding Jr. as a pair of ordinary men who are thrust into an extraordinary situation when a dying scientist (David Paymer) entrusts them with a safeguarding a unique chemical weapon from a rogue U.S. Army officer (Peter Firth). The chemical weapon, code-named Elvis, must be kept at temperatures below 50 degrees in order to avoid detonation - which necessitates that the pair transport it across scorching terrain in Montana via an ice cream truck.
The following weapons were used in the film Chill Factor:
Revolvers
Smith & Wesson Model 10
Tim Mason (Skeet Ulrich) uses a very early Smith & Wesson Model 10 to threaten Arlo (Cuba Gooding Jr.) and hijack his ice cream truck in order to prevent the chemical weapon Elvis from falling into the hands of Andrew Brynner (Peter Firth).
Taurus Model 689
Deputy Pappas (Jim Grimshaw) uses what appears to be a 4" Taurus Model 689 revolver as his sidearm. It is only seen at the end of the movie, when he roadblocks the tunnel.
Pistols
Glock 17
Rogue U.S. Army Captain Andrew Brynner (Peter Firth) carries a Glock 17 as his sidearm of choice throughout the movie. During the heist of the deadly chemical weapon Elvis, he uses the pistol with a suppressor and a tactical light. His Glock is notable in that it is a 3rd Generation model, which was brand-new on the market at the time of the film's production and release (1999). Along with The Matrix and End of Days (both also released in 1999), this is one of the first-ever appearances of a 3rd Generation Glock in Hollywood.
Glock 19
Most of the mercenaries led by Andrew Brynner (Peter Firth) carry 2nd Generation Glock 19s as their sidearms. Vaughn (Hudson Leick) uses a heavily customized Glock 19 which features a scope mount and a red-dot sight, as well as an under-barrel laser.
Taurus PT92 AFS (two-tone)
A two-tone Taurus PT92 AFS is used by Burke (Darcas Macopson), one of Brynner's mercenaries. It is fitted with an under-barrel laser, a nickel-plated suppressor, and a red-dot sight on a scope mount. During the dam confrontation with the U.S. Army, Dennis (Judson Mills) also uses a two-tone PT92, though without suppressor, red-dot sight, or laser.
Assault Rifles
M16A1
U.S. Army soldiers, including the members of the 75th Ranger Regiment accompanying Colonel Leo Vitelli (Daniel Hugh Kelly), mostly carry M16A1 assault rifles, most fitted with 20-round magazines. At least one of Andrew Brynner's mercenaries is also seen wielding an M16A1 during the confrontation with the Rangers at the dam. The use of the M16A1 - particularly with 20-round magazines - is an anachronistic choice for frontline U.S. military personnel in 1999 (when the movie was filmed and released). By the late-1990s, the U.S. military would have been using the newer M16A2 or (in the case of the Rangers) the M4A1 Carbine; the M16A1 had largely been relegated to Reserve and National Guard units by this time.
XM177E2
Several U.S. Army Rangers in the film carry XM177E2 carbines. As with the M16A1s, these weapons are an anachronism for 1999, the year of the film's release; the Rangers would more likely be using the M4A1 Carbine, or possibly the earlier Colt Model 727 which preceded it.
Shotguns
Remington Model 31 (MGC Replica)
The Army Captain leading the Rangers during the confrontation with Brynner's mercenaries at the dam is seen using what appears to be an MGC replica of the Remington Model 31, fitted with a top-folding stock.
Other
M72 LAW
Andrew Brynner uses an M72 LAW rocket launcher to blow up a tanker truck and create a roadblock for Tim and Arlo. However, when he asks Vaughn to hand him the launcher, he mistakenly refers to it as an "M79".
