'''''Broken Arrow''''' is a 1996 action thriller directed by [[John Woo]] and stars [[John Travolta]] as Major Vic Deakins, a USAF stealth pilot who with the help of a group of well-financed mercenaries hijacks his B-3 stealth bomber carrying two live nuclear weapons. [[Christian Slater]] co-stars as Capt. Riley Hale, his co-pilot, who survives the hijacking and teams up with US Park Ranger Terry Carmichael ([[Samantha Mathis]]) to recover the nukes that Deakins promises to use unless his demands are met.


One of Deakins' mercs uses an unidentified pistol fitted with suppressor to murder a man and a woman who are camping out. "Area secure." he deadpans into his radio.

{{Spoilers|MAJOR SPOILERS AHEAD!}}
=Handguns=


Deakins uses a [[Beretta M92F|Beretta Inox]] to try to kill Hale before he hijacks the stealth bomber. Hale sees Deakins in the reflection of the window drawing the gun and is able to grab the gun, but after a short struggle Deakins ejects Hale, drops the two bombs so they can be recovered by his team and then ejects himself as the plane crashes into a mountain.
== Beretta 92FS (Stainless Slide)==


== Heckler & Koch MP5A3 ==
Major Vic Deakins ([[John Travolta]]) uses a [[Beretta 92FS]] fitted with a stainless slide in an attempt to shoot Capt. Riley Hale ([[Christian Slater]]) while piloting the B-3 stealth bomber. Hale sees Deakins' reflection in the window while he is drawing the gun and quickly reacts to grab the gun. As Hale struggles to grab the gun from Deakins, a round is fired, narrowly missing Hale.

The USAF Search and Recovery team that arrive at the crash site are carrying [[H&K MP5#Heckler & Koch MP5A3|H&K MP5A3]]s. When they track down the missing nukes to a canyon, they are ambushed by Deakins' men, who have the higher ground and superior weaponry, and are wiped out.
==Beretta 92FS==
[[Image:MP5A3.jpg|thumb|none|400px|Heckler & Koch MP5A3, 9x19mm]]
Chief Sam Rhodes ([[Vondie Curtis-Hall]]) uses a [[Beretta 92FS]] standing in for the standard-issue [[Beretta M92F|Beretta M9]] handgun during the canyon shootout. Kelly ([[Howie Long]]) also is seen with a Beretta. Riley Hale ([[Christian Slater]]) is seen with two Berettas - one which he loses in the B-3 stealth bomber, and one when saving Terry Carmichael ([[Samantha Mathis]]). When they are cornered by one of Deakins' men, he drops the gun only to grab Terry's hidden [[SIG-Sauer P228]].

[[Image:BrArM93Rab.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Deakins holds the empty 93R.]]


When she goes to arrest Hale for the crime of landing by parachute in a national park, Carmichael uses a 4" barreled [[Smith & Wesson Model 66]] with Hogue grips. Hale manages to take the gun from her, but hands it back to prove he's on her side. When they are attacked by a Huey gunship, Hale asks Carmichael for her spare ammunition and uses the gun to shoot the helicopter pilot, causing the machine to crash.Hale uses the weapon again during the Humvee chase, but Deakins windshield is buletproof. During the chase through the copper mine, Hale uses the gun Akimbo-style with a SIG P220 he took off the Humvee driver.
==Smith & Wesson Model 66==
[[Image:Smith-&-Wesson-686.jpg‎|thumb|none|250px|Smith & Wesson Model 66 with 2" barrel & Custom Grips.]]
US Park Ranger Terry Carmichael ([[Samantha Mathis]]) uses a 4" barreled [[Smith & Wesson Model 66]] with Hogue grips as her sidearm.

Chief Sam Rhodes (Vondie Curtis-Hall) uses a standard-issue [[Beretta M92F|Beretta M9]] handgun during the canyon shootout. He is then shot point-blank by one of his own men, Kelly (Howie Long), also with a Beretta M9. Riley Hale (Christian Slater) also carries two M9s - one which he loses in the B3 stealth bomber when Vic Deakins (John Travolta) pulls his eject lever as he draws it, and another that he uses briefly after jumping aboard the train and saving Terry Carmichael (Samantha Mathis).  When they are cornered by one of Deakins' men, he drops the gun only to grab Terry's hidden Sig-Sauer P226 and kill the gunman.
==Smith & Wesson Model 15==
One of the Air Force helicopter pilots is carrying a [[Smith & Wesson Model 15]] as his sidearm. The Model 15 was standard issue to Air Force pilots at the time of the film.

[[Image:M16b.jpg|thumb|none|250px|M16A2 rifle 5.56mm with M203 grenade launcher 40mm]]
Baker ([[James MacDonald]]), one of Deakins' men, uses a suppressed [[SIG-Sauer P226]], while posing as a park ranger, to shoot an elderly couple camping in the park. During the Humvee chase, he fires this pistol (without the suppressor) at Hale, without effect, then points it at Terry, before Hale shoots him in the thigh, takes away the pistol and shoves him out the door. Hale then uses this gun and Terry's Smith and Wesson for much of the mine shootout.
Colonel Max Wilkins (Delroy Lindo) uses a [[M16 rifle series#M16A2 Rifle|M16A2]] with underslung [[M203 grenade launcher]] during the helicopter assault on Deakins' train. He shoots one bad guy with a burst of rifle fire, but doesn't use the launcher.


''IIRC, this was actually an M4 or M4A1 with the M203 mounted underneath. Hale (Christian Slater) also uses this weapon at the opening of the train finale before passing it off to Wilkins.''

==Mossberg 590==
Kelly ([[Howie Long]]) uses a full-sized [[Mossberg 590]] with Ghost Ring-Type Sights, heat shield and a cruiser pistol grip after losing his MP5A3 during the train shootout. The weapon is also fitted with an unknown laser sight, which appears to be the same type used on the M4A1s in ''[[Air Force One#M4A1 Carbine|Air Force One]]''. He gets into a standoff with Deakins with the shotgun when he arms and refuses to shut down the nuclear missile. Hale is later seen with the shotgun and forces Deakins into a corner before he threatens to detonate the nuke. Also, Shepherd ([[Jeffrey J. Stephen]]), the mercenary that confronts Hale and Terry at the helicopter on the train uses a Mossberg with bead sights and no laser.

SIG-Sauer P226

Baker (James MacDonald), one of Deakins' men, uses a suppressed SIG-Sauer P226, while posing as a park ranger, to shoot an elderly couple camping in the park. During the Humvee chase, he fires this pistol (without the suppressor) at Hale, without effect, then points it at Terry, before Hale shoots him in the thigh, takes away the pistol and shoves him out the door. Hale then uses this gun and Terry's Smith and Wesson for much of the mine shootout.

Shotguns

Mossberg 590

Kelly (Howie Long) uses a full-sized Mossberg 590 with Ghost Ring-Type Sights, heat shield and a cruiser pistol grip after losing his MP5A3 during the train shootout. The weapon is also fitted with an unknown laser sight, which appears to be the same type used on the M4A1s in Air Force One. He gets into a standoff with Deakins with the shotgun when he arms and refuses to shut down the nuclear missile. Hale is later seen with the shotgun and forces Deakins into a corner before he threatens to detonate the nuke. Also, Shepherd (Jeffrey J. Stephen), the mercenary that confronts Hale and Terry at the helicopter on the train uses a Mossberg with bead sights and no laser.

The shotgun used by both Howie Long and Christian Slater in the film was eventually sold in a a 2018 Heritage Auctions listing.
