+'''''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 ''[[Day of the Jackal, The|The Day of the Jackal]]''.
-==Browning M2HB (mocked up as KPV heavy machine gun)==
+{{Film Title|The Jackal}}
-The Jackal ([[Bruce Willis]]) buys a heavy machine gun from his contacts via online called 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 ~600RPM so how they got away saying it fired 1400RPM is unknown. The rounds Jackal uses are Depleted Uranium rounds, which he claims he uses for better "sprawl" on impact, even though in reality they are used because of their density and ability to penetrate armor. He notabley uses it twice in the film, once to kill Ian Lamont ([[Jack Black]]), the man who built the automated mount for him, and again to try to assassinate The First Lady ([[Tess Harper]]). The mocked up weapon was supplied by Stembridge Gun Rentals.

-US Marine sniper Akashi ([[Daniel Dae Kim]]) carries a customized [[Heckler & Koch SR9|Heckler & Koch SR9(TC)]], which like most Hollywood SR9 rifles is in fact a [[Heckler & Koch HK91]] rifle mocked up as SR9. He gives the rifle to Declan Mulqueen ([[Richard Gere]]), who uses the rifle to shoot the scope off of The Jackal's ([[Bruce Willis]]) automated machine gun. Akashi then uses the rifle to shoot the gas tank and ignite the fuel, blowing up the SUV housing the gun.

-I think I need to make a correction here, the first 2 images are a real PSG-1, notice the reinforcments added to the recieveier(the grooves where the folding stock slide into are filled) and the forward assist behind the ejection port. Yet strangely a front sight was added even though there isn't a rear one, WTF?
+[[Image:TJS&W6906-1.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Circled in red.]]
-Also look at the scope mounts, the first two have a scope mount... on a scope mount?
-The image of the safety is also strange, since it's a swing down trigger group(note the takedown pin and detent)
-So this entry is 2 different guns, the PSG-1 and a G3.  And not a SR9 or HK-91. --[[User:Zurak 47|Zurak 47]] 11:17, 22 August 2009 (UTC)

+==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. Akashi then uses the rifle to shoot the gas tank and ignite the fuel, blowing up the SUV housing the machine gun.

+=="Polish ZSU-33 14.5mm" (Browning M2HB mocked up as KPV heavy machine gun)==
-:These may be A1s with A2 handguards but some of these shots throw me off. Any help? - [[User:Gunmaster45|Gunmaster45]]
+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.

-[[Image:TJM16A2-2.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Marine to the left with an M16A2.]]
-==CAR-15==
+''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.
-Some of the FBI SWAT teams use [[M16 rifle series|CAR-15]] rifles of unknown variation.

-[[Image:TJCAR-15-2.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Another shot of the rifle.]]
-==Walther PPK==
+''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.
-As a last ditch effort to kill Declan ([[Richard Gere]]), The Jackal ([[Bruce Willis]]) produces a [[Walther PPK]] from his coat pocket before being shot again.
-[[Image:Walther-PPK.jpg|thumb|none|400px|Walther PPK - .32 ACP.]]

-[[Image:TJWaltherPPK-2.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Jackal fires his PPK behind his back.]]
-==Unknown AK Variant==
+''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.
-Two disassembled [[AK-47|AK]] variants are seen during the opening credits.

Note that the data/specifications below the weapon image appear to be for a Minigun. Of particular note "barrels" under the weight column.]]

-[[Image:TJAKS-74-1.jpg|thumb|none|600px|An AKS-74 being picked up during the credits.]]
-Look at the curvature of the magazine, it's a 7.62 mag not a 5.45.  The forearm also lacks palm swells.
+==Browning M2HB==
-Could be an AKM with a new plastic 7.62x39mm mag. Cause if you take a close look at the end of the barrel it doesn't have the AK-74's flash suppressor/compensator. Also to my knowledge there was newer an AK-74 in 7.62x39mm caliber there is an AK-103, but it is totally black finish(material like on the AK-74M, modernized).
+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 assasination. 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.
