Dead Bang is a 1989 thriller starring Don Johnson as Jerry Beck, a homicide detective with the Los Angeles Sheriff's Department who while investigating the murder of a fellow deputy uncovers a conspiracy involving white supremacists. The film was directed by John Frankenheimer and was inspired by an actual case.
The following weapons were used in the film Dead Bang:
In what appears to be a continuity error, Bobby switches to a Beretta 92FS during a gun fight in the street instead of the Browning Hi-Power he was using earlier.
FBI Special Agent Arthur Kressler (William Forsythe) carries a Smith & Wesson Model 13 with a 3" Barrel. The particular S&W was the standard issue for F.B.I. agents in the late eighties.
Several of Chief Dixon's deputies carry 14" barreled AR15 carbines, most likely the Colt Model 653. The carbine is also held by Chief Dixon (Tim Reid).
Guards at the Aryan compound all carry full stock AK47 rifles. They don't have the Chinese AK hoods so they are likely true AK47s or accurate clones.

Bobby Burns (Frank Military) uses what appears to be a Winchester Model 70 rifle to scope Beck while at the compound. Similar rifles are used by Chief Dixon's deputies later during a raid.
An Ithaca 37 is seen mounted in the squad car driven by Chief Hillard (Brad Sullivan) and later used by Jerry Beck (Don Johnson) at the gunfight at the abandoned house.
When he travels to Bogan, Oklahoma, Beck goes to the Sheriff's office, where Chief Elton Tremmel (William Traylor) has a variety of weapons hanging on the wall or in his gun cabinet (makes and models to be determined).
During an escape, Burns (Frank Military) fires what appears to be a Browning M1919A4 machine gun from the back of a station wagon. In reality, this is an acetylene-firing 'fake' M1919-style replica.
Seen in a brief role as a Los Angeles County Sheriff's Deputy who talks to Beck at the murder scene is a young Garwin Sanford, who later would be known for his role as Narim (from the Tollan people) in the series Stargate: SG1.
