==Glock 17== | |||
One of the most prominent weapons in the film is the [[Glock 17]] pistol, shown as the apparent standard sidearm of New York City Police officers, including Det. Jack Mosley ([[Bruce Willis]]) and Det. Frank Nugent ([[David Morse]]). Some can also be seen equipped with weaponlights being used by NYPD Emergency Service Unit officers during the apartment raid at the beginning of the film and during the bus standoff later on. The pistols switch between 2nd and 3rd-generation models several times during the film. It should be noted the the [[Glock 19]] rather than the full-size Glock 17 is the actual approved sidearm for the NYPD. | |||
