SIG-Sauer P226

FBI Special Agent Johnny Utah (Keanu Reeves) carries a 9x19mm SIG-Sauer P226 as his FBI-issued sidearm throughout the movie. At the time Point Break was filmed, the P226 and the more compact SIG-Sauer P228 were just coming into service as the new FBI-issue sidearms, after the 10mm Smith & Wesson 1076 proved to be too unwieldy for the Bureau's purposes. In one of the film's most memorable scenes, Utah rolls onto his back and empties his P226 into the air after he is unwilling to shoot Bodhi (Patrick Swayze) and lets him escape. This scene was parodied in the film Hot Fuzz.

+== SIG-Sauer P226 ==
+FBI Special Agent Johnny Utah ([[Keanu Reeves]]) carries a 9x19mm [[SIG-Sauer P226]] as his FBI-issued sidearm throughout the movie. At the time ''[[Point Break]]'' was filmed, the P226 and the more compact [[SIG-Sauer P228]] were just coming into service as the new FBI-issue sidearms, after the 10mm [[Smith & Wesson 1076]] proved to be too unwieldy for the Bureau's purposes. In one of the film's most memorable scenes, Utah rolls onto his back and empties his P226 into the air after he is unwilling to shoot Bodhi ([[Patrick Swayze]]) and lets him escape.  This scene was parodied in the film ''[[Hot Fuzz]]''.

+[[Image:PBreak-00056.jpg|thumb|none|602px|An extreme close-up of the P226's muzzle.]]
+[[Image:PBreak-00061.jpg|thumb|none|602px|Unwilling to shoot Bodhi, Utah rolls onto his back and fires his P226 into the air in anger. In this shot, it's possible to see that the exposed top of the P226's barrel has been filed down (a modification made for the pistol to cycle blanks).  This scene was later parodied in the film ''[[Hot Fuzz]]''.]]
+[[File:PointB 10.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The silhouette of a P226.]]
+[[File:PointB 09.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Tyler Endicott ([[Lori Petty]]) holds the P226.]]
+[[Image:PBreak-00067.jpg|thumb|none|602px|Utah reaches for his P226 when Bodhi and his gang show up at his house.]]
+==Freedom Arms Model 83==
+Bodhi ([[Patrick Swayze]]) carries a [[Freedom Arms Model 83/97 Revolver|Freedom Arms Model 83]] single-action revolver in .454 Casull as his weapon of choice in the film. At the time this film was released, this was the most powerful production revolver available.
+[[Image:FreedomArmsMod83small.jpg|thumb|none|350px|Freedom Arms Model 83 - .454 Casull]]
+[[Image:PBreak-00086.jpg|thumb|none|601px|Bodhi (with a Ronald Reagan mask on) covers the bank with his Freedom Arms Model 83 revolver in the climax.]]
+[[Image:PBreak-00091.jpg|thumb|none|601px|Bodhi prepares to fire upon the off-duty cop with his Model 83.]]
+[[Image:PBreak-00108.jpg|thumb|none|600px|When the pilot complains, Bodhi holds his Model 83 on him.]]
+[[Image:PBreak-00111.jpg|thumb|none|601px|A closer view of the Model 83's barrel. Just '''look''' at that enormous cylinder!]]
+[[Image:PBreak-00113.jpg|thumb|none|601px|In the movie's patently ''absurd'' climax, Johnny Utah jumps out of an airborne plane with no parachute, catches Bodhi while he's skydiving down to the desert below (similar to the opening of ''[[Moonraker]]''), and holds his own revolver on him.  The show ''[[Mythbusters]]'' actually tried this scenario out, and it was determined that it '''Would''' have been possible for Utah to catch Bodhi from the plane within the time alotted. They actually timed it and tried it, with parachutes, of course. (They also determined that the noise from the rushing air would have made it impossible for Utah and Bodhi to hold any sort of conversation. However, this is a Hollywood action film & the longstanding tradition is to make the impossible possible onscreen.)]]
+==Charter Arms Undercover==
+Special Agent Angelo Pappas ([[Gary Busey]]) carries an older-model [[Charter Arms Undercover|2" Charter Arms Undercover in .38 Special]] as his sidearm throughout the movie. It is seen most notably in the climax.  Despite being a veteran member of the bureau, this is unlikely choice for an FBI Agent. The same or very similar revolver without front sight can be seen in ''[[8_Million_Ways_to_Die#Charter_Arms_Undercover|8 Million Ways to Die]]''.
+[[Image:CharterArmsUndercoverOldSS.jpg|thumb|none|300px|Older Model Stainless Charter Arms Undercover - .38 Special]]

+[[Image:PBreak-00096.jpg|thumb|none|601px|Pappas takes aim at Bodhi's gang at the airfield. Note the hollow point .38's. The lack of the front sight can be seen.]]
+[[Image:PBreak-00103.jpg|thumb|none|601px|Pappas defiantly wields the Charter Arms Undercover in the climax, even while badly wounded. Note the correct number of empty chambers throughout this scene.]]
+==Detonics ScoreMaster==
+Roach ([[James LeGros]]) carries a 2nd Generation [[Detonics ScoreMaster]] as his weapon-of-choice during the bank robberies.
+[[Image:Scoremaster.jpg|thumb|none|300px|Detonics ScoreMaster (2nd Generation) - .45 ACP]]
+[[Image:PBreak-00020.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Roach ([[James LeGros]]) loads up his Detonics ScoreMaster in the beginning of the movie, when the gang is headed to a robbery.]]
+[[Image:PBreak-00022.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Roach (wearing a Richard Nixon mask) threatens a bank patron with his ScoreMaster.]]
+[[Image:PBreak-00073.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Roach again loads his ScoreMaster, before the gang's last major robbery in the climax. (Note empty magazine)]]
+[[Image:PBreak-00082.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Roach pushes one of the tellers towards the vault with his ScoreMaster in hand.]]
+==Smith & Wesson 6906==
+The off-duty cop ([[Anthony Mangano]]) in the bank carries an older-model [[Smith & Wesson 6906]] with a squared trigger guard.
+[[Image:S&W6906 TUS.jpg|thumb|none|300px|Smith & Wesson 6906 - 9x19mm]]
+[[Image:PBreak-00084.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The off-duty police officer draws his Smith & Wesson 6906.]]

+[[Image:PBreak-00089.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The off-duty cop ([[Anthony Mangano]]) fires his S&W 6906.]]
+==SIG-Sauer P230==
+The bank security guard carries a [[SIG-Sauer P230]] as a backup weapon, which he uses to shoot at Bodhi's gang.
+[[Image:SigP230SS.jpg|thumb|none|300px|SIG-Sauer P230, Stainless Steel finish - .380 ACP (9x17mm AKA 9mm kurz). Built between 1977-1996.]]
+[[Image:PBreak-00088.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The bank guard with his SIG 230.]]
+==IMI Desert Eagle Mark VII==
+A [[Desert Eagle Mark VII]] is used by one of the surfer/heroin dealers during the FBI raid on their house. It appears to be the .44 Magnum version, judging by the bore.
+[[Image:DesertEagle44Magnum.jpg|thumb|none|300px|Desert Eagle Mark VII - .44 Magnum]]
+[[Image:PBreak-00034.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The gang member brandishes his Desert Eagle.]]
+[[Image:PBreak-00042.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The surfer thug tries to escape by holding his Desert Eagle on a hostage.]]
+==Beretta 92FS==
+The other FBI agents in the movie, including Alvarez ([[Julian Reyes]]), all carry the [[Beretta 92FS]] as their sidearms. This is inaccurate, since the FBI has never issued or authorized the Beretta for its agents in real life, and the [[SIG-Sauer P226]] and [[SIG-Sauer P228|P228]] were the FBI-issue sidearms at the time.
+[[Image:BerettaM92FS.jpg|thumb|300px|none|Beretta 92FS - 9x19mm]]

+[[Image:PBreak-00024.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Alvarez peaks into the gang's house with his Beretta in hand.]]
+==Colt Government Model==
+Tone ([[Anthony Kiedis]]), a member of War Child's surfer gang, is seen holding what appears to be a [[Colt Government Model]] pistol during the FBI raid on their residence.  He experiences an accidental discharge with the pistol when the FBI bursts through a door that he was on the other side of, wounding himself in the foot.

+=Shotguns=
+==Mossberg 590==
+In both the beginning and final robberies, Bodhi's gang is seen using at least one [[Mossberg 590]] shotgun with an extended tube. Bodhi himself briefly handles this weapon in the climax at the airfield.
+[[Image:Moss590PG.jpg|thumb|none|500px|Mossberg 590 with pistol grip, bayonet lug, and heat shield - 12 gauge.]]

+==Mossberg 500==
+Johnny Utah is seen qualifying with a standard police-model [[Mossberg 500]] shotgun with wood furniture in the beginning of the film.  A Mossberg 500AT with a pistol grip is carried by Grommet during the bank heists.
+[[Image:Mossberg500.jpg|thumb|none|500px|Mossberg 500 "Persuader" with standard five-shot magazine tube - 12 gauge.  This is the most commonly produced version of the 500 series today.]]

+==Remington 870==
+Bodhi's crew also uses at least two different short-barreled, pistol-grip [[Remington 870]] shotguns.
+[[Image:Remington870Pstlgrip.jpg|thumb|none|400px|Remington 870 with Pachmayr pistol grip, plastic furniture, and shortened barrel - 12 gauge]]

+[[Image:PBreak-00104.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Roach, still alive, reaches for his 870 in the climax.]]
+==Ithaca 37==
+When Johnny Utah ([[Keanu Reeves]]) is forced by Bodhi's gang to accompany them on their final bank robbery, Bodhi ([[Patrick Swayze]]) gives him a sawed-off [[Ithaca 37]] shotgun after ejecting all of the shells from it.
+[[Image:Ithaca_m37sawedoff.jpg|thumb|400px|none|Ithaca 37 with sawed-off stock and barrel - 12 gauge]]

+==Sentinel Arms Striker==
+A [[Sentinel Arms Striker]] rotary shotgun with the folding stock removed is used by War Child ([[Vincent Klyn]]) during the raid on the surfer gang's house.
+[[Image:Striker12FullLength.jpg|thumb|none|500px|Sentinel Arms Striker 12 - 12 gauge. This one has an 18" barrel and folding stock, absent from the shotgun in the movie.]]

+[[Image:PBreak-00046.jpg|thumb|none|600px|War Child takes cover.]]
+=Submachine Guns=
+==Sterling L2A3==
+At the end of the movie, at least one of the Australian policemen brandishes a [[Sterling SMG|Sterling L2A3]] submachine gun, which seems to have its magazine in backwards!
