=="Polish ZSU-33 14.5mm" (Browning M2HB mocked up as KPV heavy machine gun)== | |||
For his job, The Jackal ([[Bruce Willis]]) purchases a heavy machine gun via online contacts. The weapon is identified in the film as a '''"Polish ZSU-33 14.5mm"''', which is in reality a [[Browning M2HB]] mocked up as a [[KPV heavy machine gun]] in 14.5mm. Both guns have a cyclic rate of 600 rounds per minute, but the Polish gun is said to have a rate of 1400RPM. The rounds Jackal uses are Depleted Uranium rounds, which he claims he uses for better "spall" on impact, even though in reality they are used because of their density and ability to penetrate armor. He notably uses it twice in the film, once to kill Ian Lamont ([[Jack Black]]), the man who built the automated mount for him, and again in the assassination attempt. The mocked-up weapon was supplied by Stembridge Gun Rentals. | |||
''Trivia: While there are a handful of large-bore anti-aircraft platforms called the "ZSU", AND they were used by Poland, the suffix is bore diameter in millimeters, so if it existed, it would be designated the "ZSU-14.5". However, neither a ZSU-14.5, nor a ZSU-33 exist, the series only features the ZSU-23, ZSU-37, and ZSU-57, so where they got the "33" from is totally unclear. | |||
''Furthermore, the "ZSU" series doesn't refer to the guns themselves but the self-propelled vehicles they're mounted in. The guns themselves don't have names, they're done by mount. ZSU-23 for instance, means self-propelled vehicle with 23mm gun, whereas ZU-23 would mean a stationary mount outfitted with the same gun. | |||
''HOWEVER, it's not totally hopeless, the ZSUs were made to replace the ZPU-2 and ZPU-4 (because these used pre-existing, pre-named base guns, the numbering is simply the order in which they were developed), which were actually anti-aircraft weapons (again, the designation technically refers to the mount) for which the gun used was the 14.5mm KPV, and were used by Poland, so, calling it a "Polish Z'''P'''U 14.5mm" would actually be (sorta) correct. | |||

The Jackal is a 1997 American action thriller starring Richard Gere as a former IRA sniper who is recruited by the FBI to track down a professional assassin known as "The Jackal" (Bruce Willis), who has been hired by a Russian mobster to eliminate a major American political figure. The film is a loose remake of the 1973 thriller The Day of the Jackal.
The following weapons were used in the film The Jackal:

Glock 19
Some of the Secret Service Agents are seen using Glock 19s.
Walther PPK
As a last-ditch effort to kill Declan (Richard Gere), The Jackal (Bruce Willis) pulls out a Walther PPK from his coat pocket before being shot again.
Submachine Guns
Heckler & Koch "HK94SD"
The Jackal (Bruce Willis) carries a Heckler & Koch HK94 chopped and converted to resemble a Heckler & Koch MP5A3 fitted with a fake "integral" suppressor to make it an MP5SD3. He uses it to dispatch the FBI agents in Isabella Zanconia's (Mathilda May) house.
Heckler & Koch MP5A2
One of the Secret Service Agents is seen using a Heckler & Koch MP5A2 with a slimline forend.
Heckler & Koch MP5K-PDW
One of the Secret Service Agents is seen using a Heckler & Koch MP5K-PDW.
Assault Rifles

AR-15A2 Government Carbine/R6520
Some of the FBI SWAT teams use the Colt AR-15A2 Government Carbine, a semi-automatic CAR-15 made for police, marketed as such but officially indexed as the "R6520", identified by their 16" A1 profile barrels and A2 rear sights.
AKS-74U
The Russian MVD SOBR team are all armed with AKS-74U assault rifles during the bust in Moscow. Some are also seen during the film's opening credits.
AKS-74 (mockup)

Sniper Rifles
Remington 700PSS

Heckler & Koch SR9(TC)
US Marine sniper Akashi (Daniel Dae Kim) carries a customized Heckler & Koch SR9(TC), which like most Hollywood SR9 rifles is in fact a Heckler & Koch HK91 rifle mocked up as SR9 and fitted with a Swarovski LRS 3 (Laser Rangefinding Scope). He gives the rifle to Declan Mulqueen (Richard Gere), who uses it to shoot the scope off of The Jackal's (Bruce Willis) automated machine gun.

A kidnapper in Porvoo uses a WZ.83 Pallad D to fire a less-lethal round to stun a man before kidnapping him. In the typical Hollywood fashion, he is knocked off his feet and thrown back when hit, defying the laws of physics.
Heavy Weapons
"Polish ZSU-33 14.5mm" (Browning M2HB mocked up as KPV heavy machine gun)
For his job, The Jackal (Bruce Willis) purchases a heavy machine gun via online contacts. The weapon is identified in the film as a "Polish ZSU-33 14.5mm", which is in reality a Browning M2HB mocked up as a KPV heavy machine gun in 14.5mm. Both guns have a cyclic rate of 600 rounds per minute, but the Polish gun is said to have a rate of 1400RPM. The rounds Jackal uses are Depleted Uranium rounds, which he claims he uses for better "spall" on impact, even though in reality they are used because of their density and ability to penetrate armor. He notably uses it twice in the film, once to kill Ian Lamont (Jack Black), the man who built the automated mount for him, and again in the assassination attempt. The mocked-up weapon was supplied by Stembridge Gun Rentals.
Trivia: While there are a handful of large-bore anti-aircraft platforms called the "ZSU", AND they were used by Poland, the suffix is bore diameter in millimeters, so if it existed, it would be designated the "ZSU-14.5". However, neither a ZSU-14.5, nor a ZSU-33 exist, the series only features the ZSU-23, ZSU-37, and ZSU-57, so where they got the "33" from is totally unclear.
Furthermore, the "ZSU" series doesn't refer to the guns themselves but the self-propelled vehicles they're mounted in. The guns themselves don't have names, they're done by mount. ZSU-23 for instance, means self-propelled vehicle with 23mm gun, whereas ZU-23 would mean a stationary mount outfitted with the same gun.
HOWEVER, it's not totally hopeless, the ZSUs were made to replace the ZPU-2 and ZPU-4 (because these used pre-existing, pre-named base guns, the numbering is simply the order in which they were developed), which were actually anti-aircraft weapons (again, the designation technically refers to the mount) for which the gun used was the 14.5mm KPV, and were used by Poland, so, calling it a "Polish ZPU 14.5mm" would actually be (sorta) correct.
Special
Browning M2HB
A standard non-mocked up Browning M2HB is seen mounted on a Humvee in US Marine base.
Trivia
GE M134 Minigun
While never actually seen in the film, The Jackal (Bruce Willis) is offered a GE M134 Minigun by his contacts while purchasing a weapon on the computer for his assassination. It was the most obvious choice since he requested a weapon with a high-cyclic rate, no lower in caliber than 7.62mm. Jackal claims he prefers non-American made weapons, and thus settles for the 14.5mm machine gun.
