Beretta 92FS (Custom Compensator)

The signature pistols of Léon (Jean Reno) are Beretta 92FSs fitted with compensators and, in some scenes, sound suppressors. A compensator reduces the rising of the barrel during rapid fire by redirecting propellant gases. The combination of a suppressor and compensator might be considered nonsensical - A suppressor is supposed to re-route and slow the release of pressurized gases from the muzzle in order to reduce the muzzle blast, while a recoil compensator functions by changing the vector at which the gases are released in order to reduce recoil. The problem is solved when it is revealed that one of Léon's suppressors has extended threads which clearly reach past the compensator ports when fitted. We briefly see Mathilda (Natalie Portman) assembling Léon's Beretta 92FS pistols, although we never see her use them. One of Léon's Berettas features a two-toned finish with a stainless Inox frame.

A compensator reduces rising of the barrel during rapid fire by redirecting propellant gases. We briefly see Mathilda ([[Natalie Portman]]) assembling Léon's ([[Jean Reno]]) [[Beretta 92FS]] pistols although we never see her take a shot.

+==Custom Springfield Armory M1911-A1==
+Mathilda's ([[Natalie Portman]]) pistol is a [[Springfield Armory M1911-A1]] fitted with a compensator and loaded with simunition paintball rounds. She uses it to shoot a drug dealer during her first "hit", fitting it with a suppressor that cancels out the compensator like with Léon's Berettas. She brings it with her when she goes to the DEA building planning to kill Stansfield ([[Gary Oldman]]). It is assumed she has it loaded with live ammunition, since simunition would prove useless for killing. Stanfield's 1st man Willi Blood ([[Willi One Blood]]) refers to it as "Another Nine-Milley," slang for 9mm.

-==Kimel AP-9==
+==Smith & Wesson 3917==
+A two-tone Smith & Wesson automatic is seen in the hands of Jordan (Randolph Scott), Stansfield's 4th man. The pistol is a compact single-stack 3rd Generation variant featuring a stainless frame (visually similar to the satin silver aluminum alloy frame of the [[Smith & Wesson 3913]]) and a blued slide (as seen on the [[Smith & Wesson 3914]]). Though atypical, it happens to have a factory model designation - '''Smith & Wesson 3917''' (the '39' indicating 9x19mm single-stack, '1' indicating compact, and most notably '7' indicating arrangement of blued carbon steel slide and stainless steel frame).
-During the attack on Mathilda's ([[Natalie Portman]]) family's apartment one of Stansfield's ([[Gary Oldman]]) men Willi Blood ([[Willi One Blood]]) is armed with an [[AP-9|Kimel AP-9 pistol]] fitted with a 20-round magazine which he uses to kill Mathilda's little brother.

-==Ruger SP101==
-Léon ([[Jean Reno]]) has a [[Ruger SP101]] in his case among his collection of weapons. He gives it to Matilda ([[Natalie Portman]]) when telling her to leave and be a "cleaner" on her own, resulting in her walking to the window and emptying the gun (although she fires six shots when the revolver only holds five). Later in the film Matilda tries to see if Léon really cares about her, so she loads three chambers, leave two empty, and plays the very difficult version of Russian Roulette. Léon tells her he could hear that there was a bullet in the chamber (not likely), but she continues and nearly kills herself before he knocks the gun away.

-==Smith & Wesson Model 629 "Classic Hunter" Custom==
+==Llama M-87==
+Mathilda takes along a [[Llama M-87]] with extended controls (magazine release and safety lever) and a compensator, when she goes to kill Stansfield. The Llama M-87 is a competition version of the Llama M-82.
-Norman Stansfield ([[Gary Oldman]]) keeps a [[Smith & Wesson Model 629|Smith & Wesson Model 629]] revolver with a 3" barrel and unfluted cylinder as his duty sidearm. Stansfield's Smith & Wesson Model 629 appears to be customized or at least a rare, non-catalogued special production run. The standard and/or limited production, short barreled 629s usually have slightly shorter ejector rods (while the gun in the film's ends at the barrel). The muzzle is nicely crowned, too. It's done in a manner uncommon on factory-standard Smith & Wesson revolvers (and limited production runs), which means it was likely a customized & shortened Smith & Wesson Model 629 "Classic Hunter". Unlike the standard model 629, the "Classic Hunter" variation was a special production run made in limited quantities in the late 1980's/early 1990's. It could be had in carbon blue steel and in stainless steel, came with an unfluted cylinder (standard production 629s feature fluted cylinders) and had either in 6-inch and 8 3/8-inch barrel length with the full underlug. Since the 629 "Classic Hunter" Stansfield packs isn't in factory configuration, we can assume it has been further customized and shortened, perhaps to make it more concealable and lighter to carry all-day like an oversized snub nose.

+==Smith & Wesson Model 629 "Classic Hunter" Custom==
+Norman Stansfield ([[Gary Oldman]]) keeps a [[Smith & Wesson Model 629]] revolver with a 3" barrel and unfluted cylinder as his duty sidearm. Stansfield's Smith & Wesson Model 629 appears to be customized or at least a rare, non-catalogued special production run. The standard and/or limited production, short barreled 629s usually have slightly shorter ejector rods (while the gun in the film's ends at the barrel). The muzzle is nicely crowned, too. It's done in a manner uncommon on factory-standard Smith & Wesson revolvers (and limited production runs), which means it was likely a customized & shortened Smith & Wesson Model 629 "Classic Hunter". Unlike the standard model 629, the "Classic Hunter" variation was a special production run made in limited quantities in the late 1980's/early 1990's. It could be had in carbon blue steel and in stainless steel, came with an unfluted cylinder (standard production 629s feature fluted cylinders) and had either in 6-inch and 8 3/8-inch barrel length with the full underlug. Since the 629 "Classic Hunter" Stansfield packs isn't in factory configuration, we can assume it has been further customized and shortened, perhaps to make it more concealable and lighter to carry all-day like an oversized snub nose.
-Mathilda's ([[Natalie Portman]]) pistol is a [[M1911 pistol series#Springfield Armory M1911-A1|Springfield Armory M1911-A1]] fitted with a compensator and loaded with simunition paintball rounds. She uses it to shoot a drug dealer during her first "hit", fitting it with a suppressor that cancels out the compensator like with Léon's Berettas. She brings it with her when she goes to the DEA building planning to kill Stansfield ([[Gary Oldman]]). It is assumed she has it loaded with live ammunition, since simunition would prove useless for killing. Willi Blood ([[Willi One Blood]]) refers to it as "Another Nine-Milley," slang for 9mm.
+There is a particular Model 629 variant; the S&W product code is Production Code 103650 and only 3200 were produced in 1989 - It had a Round Butt, 6 round UNFLUTED cylinder, Stainless Finish, and 3" Full Lug Barrel. Reference page 260 of the Standard Catalog of Smith & Wesson. The one Stansfield is carrying certainly looks like a custom shortened barrel Classic Hunter as previously noted rather than this production model although the latter is very similar.

+==Ruger SP101==
+Léon ([[Jean Reno]]) has a long-barreled [[Ruger SP101]] in his case among his collection of weapons. He gives it to Mathilda ([[Natalie Portman]]) when telling her to leave and be a "cleaner" on her own, resulting in her walking to the window and emptying the gun (although she fires six shots when the revolver only holds five). Later in the film Matilda tries to see if Léon really cares about her, so she loads three chambers, leave two empty, and plays the very difficult version of Russian Roulette. Léon tells her he could hear that there was a bullet in the chamber (not likely), but she continues and nearly kills herself before he knocks the gun away.

 ==SGW Multimatch AR-15==
+Léon requests a rifle from Tony ([[Danny Aiello]]) to train Mathilda ([[Natalie Portman]]) on her long range sniping exercise. Tony had one of his workers go into the freezer and pull out an [[M16 rifle series|SGW Multimatch AR-15]] rifle. Mathilda uses the rifle (loaded with simunition paintball rounds) in her practice "hit" on the jogging politician ([[Denis Bellocq]]) in Central Park. The rifle is the old model SGW Multimatch before SGW turned into what is now known as Olympic Arms. With a 16" medium heavy weight barrel, shaved gas block, carbine length free floating aluminum handguard tube, and a Bell & Carlson AR-15 Thumbhole stock. It has blued 20-round magazines (the kind available in the early 1990s), a Harris Bipod, and a dummy short 'suppressor' for the end of the threaded barrel. The scope is a Burris with a 40mm objective lense, and sits on Weaver's tall see-through scope mount rings.

Simunition encompasses many types of training rounds, the best-known being the FX Marking Cartridge, or paintball round.
+'Simunition' is a trademark for training ammunition produced by General Dynamics - Ordnance and Tactical Systems Canada Inc. of Québec, Canada. Simunition encompasses many types of training rounds, the best-known being the FX Marking Cartridge, or paintball round. Simunition rounds are designed to be used by police and military for training purposes. Most simunition cartridges require slight modification to the weapon to ensure that normal service rounds cannot be fired during training and to simulate full recoil with reduced-pressure/reduced-velocity rounds for more realistic training. In this case for a 5.56 simunition round to work all it would take is a bolt swap to allow this rifle to function with simunition rounds. It's very unlikely the prop weapon itself actually fired the simunition in the film although it is very possible that it could in real life.

In this case for a 5.56 simunition round to work all it would take is a bolt swap to allow this rifle to function with simunition rounds. The prop itself is a slightly modified SGW Multimatch AR-15 and it's very unlikely it actually fired the simunition in the actual movie although it is very possible that it could in real life. Simunition is used only for CQB training, as there is no way any paint round could reach the velocity to hit a target at the distance the movie claimed the hit was made at. Even though the politician was made to look very far the reticle image would prove that the politician was closer than 150yards, well within the simunition maximum range of 200 yards.

+Note that in real life, simunition is used only for CQB training, as paint rounds can't reach the velocity to hit a target at great distance; simunition has a maximum range of only 200 yards. (In the case of the film, even though the politician was made to look very far the reticle image shows the politician was closer than 150 yards, within range - though making such a shot with simunition would still be rather unlikely.)
