Heat is a 1995 American crime drama directed by Michael Mann and marked the first onscreen pairing of legendary actors Al Pacino and Robert De Niro. Pacino stars in the film as Vincent Hanna, a relentless lieutenant in the LAPD's Robbery Homicide Division who is determined to take down a high-end robbery crew led by master thief Neil McCauley (De Niro). Notable for its detailed depiction of the techniques used by both law enforcement and criminal elements, as well as exceptional and accurate gun handling, the film was first made as the 1989 television movie L.A. Takedown. Heat also was reported to have been viewed repeatedly by the "High Incident Bandits" robbery duo involved in the infamous North Hollywood shootout (as depicted in the film 44 Minutes: The North Hollywood Shootout).

The following weapons were used in the film Heat:

+[[Image:HeatColtCommander-2.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Hanna scans his surroundings.]]
+==Heckler & Koch USP==
+Neil McCauley ([[Robert De Niro]]) uses a [[Heckler & Koch USP]] as his sidearm in the early scenes of the film. It is first seen during the armored car robbery, when he carries it in a holster on his tactical vest (along with five spare magazines). Note the checkered back of the grip and the shape of the external thumb safety and slide release, all uncommon to a [[SIG-Sauer P220]]. It is usually not seen clearly during the film, but the shape of the slide can easily be discerned during the shootout at the drive-in theater (when McCauley fires the gun through the windshield of his sedan at the assassin with the [[Steyr TMP]]). McCauley then dumps his USP for the SIG-Sauer P220, most likely to get rid of the evidence, since it was used during the drive-in theater shootout.
+''NOTE: IMFDB previously identified this USP as the .45 ACP model. This is likely inaccurate, because the USP-45 was not around at the time that the movie was filmed (it was introduced in May 1995, nearly two years after the USP-9 and USP-40, while ''Heat'' was filmed mostly during 1994). The USP in the movie is most likely a 9x19mm model, since most pistols in Hollywood's prop houses were chambered in this caliber at the time. Further evidence of the pistol's caliber can be seen during the armored car robbery; the magazines visible on McCauley's vest are made out of polymer, consistent with the mags found only on full-size 9mm and .40-caliber USP magazines, whereas USP-45 magazines are metal and have ribbed sides.''

 ==SIG-Sauer P220==
-Neil McCauley ([[Robert De Niro]]) carries a [[SIG-Sauer P220 pistol series#SIG P220|SIG-Sauer P220]] in .45 ACP in several scenes.
+After dumping his H&K USP after the drive-in theater shootout, Neil McCauley ([[Robert De Niro]]) replaces his USP with a [[SIG-Sauer P220]] in .45 ACP as his sidearm for the rest of the film. In the script it is also mentioned that he holds a .45 caliber pistol.

-Neil McCauley ([[Robert De Niro]]) can be seen carrying a [[H&K USP|Heckler & Koch USP-45]] chambered in .45 ACP (noted by longer grip and barrel) in the early scenes of the film. Note the checkered back of the grip and the shape of the external thumb safety and slide release, all uncommon to a [[SIG-Sauer P220 pistol series#SIG P220|SIG P220]]. It is usually not seen clearly during the film, but the shape of the slide can easily be discerned during the shootout at the drive-in (when McCauley fires the gun through the window of his sedan at the shooter with the Steyr TMP).

 ==Star Megastar==
+Waingro ([[Kevin Gage]]), the unstable newcomer to Neil McCauley's ([[Robert De Niro]]) crew, carries a blued [[Star Megastar]] during the armored car robbery. He uses this one to first pistol-whip and then execute the first guard (stuntman [[Rick Avery]]) by shooting him in the face at point-blank range. He also carries a nickel one when he answers the door at his hotel room.

The shot is faked with a CGI muzzle flash (animated after the fact) due to the dangerous nature of the shot. Firing a real blank this close to the face of an actor would result in either serious injury or death. A tell tale sign is that the hammer of the pistol remains cocked.]]

-Waingro ([[Kevin Gage]]), the unstable newcomer to Neil McCauley's ([[Robert De Niro]]) crew, carries two [[Star Megastar]]s; the first is blued, the second nickel.
+==Beretta 84FS==
+Chris Shiherlis ([[Val Kilmer]]) is seen with a compact pistol in a holster next to him when McCauley walks in and sees him sleeping on the floor. He wakes up and then sticks the holstered gun in his pants. It appears to be a Beretta "Cheetah" variant. Judging by the thick floorplate on the bottom of the magazine, it appears to be a double-stack model, so probably a [[Beretta 84FS]], and not the similar single-stack 85FS.

+A nickel [[Taurus PT92AFS]] can be seen in the holster of the bank guard that McCauley kicks to the floor during the start of the bank robbery. This may also be a [[PT99]], depending on the sights, which are not visible while the weapon is holstered.

 =Rifles & Carbines=
+==Colt Model 654==
-==FN FNC-80==
+During the armored car robbery, McCauley carries a [[Colt Model 654]] carbine, a 14.5" barreled predecessor to the [[M4A1 Carbine|M4]], with M16A1-style lightweight barrel and sights. He uses this weapon to execute the second guard (the one who tries to draw the [[Smith & Wesson Model 38]] "Bodyguard" in his ankle holster), who gets hit in his right arm, his shoulder and his chest. Based on configuration, it appears to be a 654 upper on a full-auto converted AR-15 SP1 carbine lower receiver group, with a drop-in auto sear to allow it fire fully-automatic (as evidenced by the pivot pin at the front, which is the "screw hole" design).
-Lt. Vincent Hanna ([[Al Pacino]]) pulls out an [[FN FNC|FN FNC-80]] assault rifle outside the bank heist on Flower Street. Michael Cheritto ([[Tom Sizemore]]) receives a 5.56mm present between the eyes from Hanna's [[FN FNC|FN FNC-80]].  According to the on set armorer, Hanna's rifle was a Select Fire FNC-80 assault rifle that was chopped down by the armorer to a Para length barrel and an M16 style birdcage was attached.  The FNC-80 was imported into the U.S. as a full auto weapon and as a Semiautomatic Sporter rifle named the FNC 223 Sporter.  Despite being a full auto weapon, the director Michael Mann instructed Al Pacino to fire only Semi auto, being that the LAPD lieutenant would be concerned for stray rounds hitting bystanders.

 ==Colt Model 733==
-During the armored car robbery, Chris Shiherlis ([[Val Kilmer]]) uses a Colt Model 733 carbine as his weapon of choice. During the bank robbery both Neil McCauley ([[Robert De Niro]]) and Chris Shiherlis ([[Val Kilmer]]) carry short barreled [[M16 rifle series|Colt M733]] carbines. They are ultra-compact versions of the M16 rifle family with 11.5-inch barrels, being smaller and shorter than the M16A2 Rifle (20-inch) and M4 Carbine (14.5-inch). The lighter encumbrance comes at a trade off of reduced range and accuracy, which is appropriate since the Model 733 can be fired from inside the vehicle, the robbers burdened by loads of cash, and because the firefight takes place at close to medium distances. The M733s have full automatic and semi-auto fire modes, while retaining the penetration of the 5.56mm round of its big brothers, which is particularly deadly as they are capable of wounding officers and bystanders even through objects normally considered safe cover. They handle similarly to submachine guns, however they are more accurate and much more powerful. However, due to the weapon's compact and short barrel, 5.56 NATO rounds fired from this weapon lose a significant amount of velocity found in longer barreled weapons.  With slower velocities, rounds from from this weapon do not "fragment", a secondary wounding mechanism, but still provide greater punch that typical submachine gun rounds. This is a very professional choice of a primary weapon for that particular job, time and environment.
+During the armored car robbery, Chris Shiherlis ([[Val Kilmer]]) uses a [[Colt Model 733]] short-barreled carbine as his weapon of choice. During the bank robbery, Shiherlis and McCauley both carry the Model 733. These are compact versions of the M16 rifle family with 11.5-inch barrels.
-Not surprisingly, Shiherlis uses the M733s to great effect, killing Bosko ([[Ted Levine]]), a member of Hanna's detectives, in a brief exchange of fire. After the getaway ride is disabled, Shiherlis sprays the police barricade with dozens of rounds, shooting up the LAPD patrol cars and bringing down several officers. Allegedly, footage of him expertly reloading his rifle during this sequence has been shown to American Special Forces trainees, with the message from their instructor, "This is how I want you to reload." McCauley also uses an M733 to shoot a pursuing patrolman while carjacking a Ford Taurus Wagon to escape.

Despite being a full-auto weapon, Michael Mann instructed Al Pacino to fire only in semi-automatic mode, because Hanna and all of the other cops who were involved in the shootout would be concerned about the possibility of endangering bystanders.

+==FN FAL 50.61==
+During the armored car robbery, Michael Cheritto ([[Tom Sizemore]]) uses a 20" barreled [[FN FAL#FN FAL|FN FAL 50.61]] Paratrooper version with a side-folding stock. He uses this weapon to execute the third guard with a double tap to the sternum and a third shot to the head. This is a military tactic known as a Failure Drill or Mozambique Drill, and is a prominent feature in Michael Mann's films (it appears twice in ''Heat'' - this incident, and then at the end of the film, when McCauley executes Waingro in his hotel room).

+== IMI Galil ARM ==
+Michael Cheritto ([[Tom Sizemore]]) uses an [[IMI Galil ARM]] Model 372 with a wooden handguard during the bank robbery and the shootout. ''While inside the bank, the stock is removed from the mounting bracket. However, it appears when he enters the car, an obvious continuity error.'' He gets separated from the rest of the crew during the shootout but manages to wound one of Hanna's men, Detective Schwartz ([[Jerry Trimble]]), by shooting him in the shoulder beside a transit bus. Oddly enough, Mann refers to the weapon as a 7.62mm in his audio commentary.

-Michael Cheritto ([[Tom Sizemore]]), brings a 20" barreled [[FN FAL|FN FAL 50.61]] Paratrooper version with a Side-folding stock to the armored car robbery which he uses to execute the third guard.
+Several [[M16A1]] assault rifles are featured prominently in the film, fitted with [[M16A2]]-style handguards and Rapidex-type rear sight adjustment knobs. They are wielded by various L.A.P.D. detectives, including Detective Casals ([[Wes Studi]]), Detective Mike Bosko ([[Ted Levine]]) and Detective Schwartz ([[Jerry Trimble]]), and are also used by some of the SWAT officers. Casals uses one to assist in disabling the Lincoln Town Car being used as a getaway vehicle, and also manages to shoot and wound Shiherlis during the shootout. According to the on-set armorer, the director wanted the actors to fire in semi-automatic mode only. The reason given was that the police would be less interested in 'suppressing fire' and more interested in controlled shots given the proximity of so many innocent bystanders.
