The 1911a1 appears to be a Colt Gold Cup NM, it has Elliason sights, the mounting rail on the top of the slide, skeletonized trigger and hammer, and it looks like the same beavertail grip safety, although you cannot see the Gold Cup logo on the slide, this could be due to lighting or something, but it appears that the grips have the prancing pony colt logo on them.

Thanks MPM, and as a disclaimer im 95% sure it is a Series '80 GC, only the logo is hard for me to see, so it could have been removed for whatever reason or just could be the lighting, I was confused about the grip safety until I realized that my GC has been further customized with an Ed Brown Memory Groove beavertail safety. | |||

I think I saw in a film trailer that Davis fired a Skorpion SA while on a zip line of some sort. I don't know if it is actually in the film but I thought I'd let you know. - Gunmaster45
Takedown Sniper Rifle
Been awhile since Ive seen it but I remember a scene with Davis putting together a sniper rifle from parts she found in her suitcase. how she wouldn't notice the weight of the rifle in the case when empty I don't even want to guess.
The unusual part is the addition of an Anschutz palm rest (fits on to the accessory rail underneath the stock, can be seen at the left of the picture of the suitcase). It's the kind of kit you would see used at the Olympics for standing unsupported shooting, not on a sniper rifle. And they don't "snap" into place, they screw in with a pair of allen bolts, but that's a minor detail :) [1]

/* Ruger Mini 14 */
The Mini-14 is NOT a ranch rifle. Ranch Rifles have scope bases integral to the receiver. This one clearly has a B-Square side-plate mounted scope base, and no ring mounts on the receiver. The image used is a ranch rifle, and is incorrect.
- (a) Don't have ASPERGER'S SYNDROME. That was a sample that we have of the closest example. We never stated that it was Ranch rifle. News flash but IMFDB doesn't have a photo of every single variant of every single gun that we document, yes, I know, shocking but true.

"Reloading" the M203
The article says One-Eyed Jack reloads the M203 underdslung on his Winchester (lol) by flip-cocking the shotgun, but from memory he only fires the grenade launcher once - to blow the hole in the wall of the house that Geena Davis subsequently throws her daughter through.
