'''''The Siege''''' is a 1998 thriller directed by [[Edward Zwick]] and starring [[Denzel Washington]] as FBI Assistant Special Agent-in-Charge Anthony 'Hub' Hubbard, who along with his fellow agents are charged with stopping a continuing series of terrorist attacks that have crippled the city of New York. The film is notable for its depiction of the American reaction to such a terrorist attack on US soil. Though the film was poorly received at the time of its release, it was later regarded as prescient following the tragic events of September 11, 2001. The cast included [[Annette Bening]], [[Tony Shalhoub]], and [[Bruce Willis]], and the film was co-written by Lawrence Wright, who is now better-known as the author of the book ''[[The Looming Tower (2018 Miniseries)|The Looming Tower]]''.

==SIG-Sauer P226==
 
The main protagonist of the film, FBI ASAC (Assistant Special Agent-in-Charge) Anthony 'Hub' Hubbard ([[Denzel Washington]]) and several of his fellow FBI agents carry [[SIG-Sauer P226]] pistols as their standard sidearms.

== Sig-Sauer P226 ==
 
The main protagonist of the film, FBI ASAC (Assistant Special Agent in Charge) Anthony 'Hub' Hubbard ([[Denzel Washington]]) and several of his fellow Agents carry [[Sig Sauer P220 pistol series#SIG P226|Sig-Sauer P226]] pistols as their standard sidearms.

== H&K MP5 ==
 
During the bus incidents, N.Y.P.D. SWAT members can be seen carrying two versions of the MP5, specifically the [[MP5#Heckler & Koch MP5A2|MP5A2]] and [[MP5#Heckler & Koch MP5A3|MP5A3]], the former of which have Surefire dedicated fore end lights as per norm with SWAT-issue MP5s. FBI SWAT members can also be seen carrying MP5A3's fitted with laser pointers and red dot sights during the raid on the terrorist safehouse.

== Remington 700 Sniper Rifle ==
 
During the incident with the second bus, N.Y.P.D. SWAT marksmen can be seen getting into position with [[Remington 700|Remington PSS700]] sniper rifles fitted with folding bipods.

==Glock 19==
==Glock 19==
The NYPD officers throughout the movie carry [[Glock 19]] pistols as their sidearms. Some of the FBI and CIA agents also use them.


The N.Y.P.D. officers throughout the movie carry [[Glock#Glock 19|Glock 19]] pistols as their sidearms. Some of the FBI and CIA agents also use them.

[[Image:Vlcsnap-203107.jpg|thumb|none|800px|An N.Y.P.D. officer with a Glock 19.]]
 
 
== Uzi ==
 
During the incident at the schoolhouse, the terrorist holding hostages can be seen wielding an [[Uzi#Uzi|Uzi]] as he paces about. Despite having the responding police and FBI personnel out-gunned, he's still easily taken down when Agent Hubbard catches him off guard. One of the terrorists in the safehouse raid is also seen using an Uzi. This is a slight cultural irony, as the Uzi is primarily produced in Israel, and is being used by Arab terrorists.
 
[[Image:Uzi.jpg|thumb|none|300px|IMI Uzi 9mm]]

[[Image:Vlcsnap-171369.jpg]]
 
 
== AKM ==
 
When the FBI raids the terrorist safehouse, one of the terrorists engages the FBI in a shootout using an [[AK-47#AKM|AKM]] rifle, though is inevitably taken down, even shooting one of his own comrades when he strays into his field of fire.
 
[[Image:IMG_7046.JPG|thumb|350px|none|AKM 7.62x39mm]]
[[Image:Vlcsnap-174188.jpg|thumb|none|800px|One of the terrorists opens fire on the FBI SWAT troopers with his AKM, killing a comrade who is in the wrong place at the wrong time.]]
[[Image:Vlcsnap-358142.jpg]]
 
== Remington 870 ==
 
The [[Remington 870#Remington 870|Remington 870]] shotgun makes several appearances in the film, mostly in the hands of Agent Hubbard's men when conducting raids to provide extra firepower that their pistols lack. N.Y.P.D. officers responding to the schoolhouse incident can also be seen carrying the [[Remington 870#Remington 870 Folding Stock|Remington 870 Folding Stock]] version, albeit with standard-capacity magazines.

[[Image:Vlcsnap-209840.jpg|thumb|none|800px|An N.Y.P.D. officer behind Elise Kraft ([[Annette Bening]]) armed with a folding-stock version of the Remington 870.]]
 
== M16A2 ==
 
The [[M16 rifle series#M16A2 Rifle|M16A2]] assault rifle features prominently in the movie, almost every soldier involved in the occupation of New York City is seen carrying one. A notable point in the film is that when Maj. General William Deveraux ([[Bruce Willis]]) is describing what the occupation will entail, he distinctly mentions the "M16A1 assault rifle", though the U.S. military had switched to the M16A2 years prior to the events in the film, and indeed the A2 version is the most prevalent, but sharp eyes can spot at least one appearance of the A1 version (I think it's in the hands of a soldier going across the Brooklyn Bridge when martial law is first declared). Another M16A2 can be briefly seen carried by one of the terrorists holding hostages during the second bus siege.

[[Image:Vlcsnap-178755.jpg]]
[[Image:Vlcsnap-194526.jpg]]
 
== M203 Grenade Launcher ==
 
Another weapon used by the Army in New York City is the [[M203 grenade launcher]], mounted on their M16 assault rifles. It's hard to see, but one can be spotted being held by one of the guards outside the stadium the Army uses as a concentration camp.
 
[[Image:M16b.jpg|thumb|none|300px|M16A2 5.56mm with M203 grenade launcher 40mm]]
[[Image:Vlcsnap-266916.jpg‎|thumb|none|800px|The soldier on the right, turned away from the camera, has an M16A2 with an M203 on his back.]]


==Beretta 92FS==
One weapon used by the Army during their occupation is the [[Beretta 92FS]] pistol (standing in for the military M9). One soldier can be seen holding one on Hubbard's decoy, and another is presumably the weapon General Deveraux uses to kill Tariq Husseini (Amro Salama). Also, it's difficult to tell (because of the light), but it appears that the terrorist in the safehouse who collects the pizza box (with flash-bang) also has a Beretta lying on the table.

[[Image:Siege-MP5-6.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The gun on the table in the safehouse appears to be a Beretta.]]


== M60 Machine Gun ==
==Smith & Wesson 5904==
In the climax of the film, one of the FBI Agents appears to be carrying a [[Smith & Wesson 5904]].
[[Image:S&W5904LateModel.jpg‎ |thumb|none|300px|Late Model Smith & Wesson 5904 - 9x19mm]]
[[Image:Siege-5904-1.jpg|thumb|none|600px|An FBI Agent (circled) holds what appears to be a S&W 5904 in the climax of the film.]]


In several scenes, Humvees and Cadillac-Gage Commando APCs can be seen with [[M60 machine gun]]s mounted on them, most notably when the Army crashes the FBI raid on the Redhook chop-shop.
==Ruger KP94==
During the standoff at the bath house, Samir Nazhde ([[Sami Bouajila]]) holds Sharon Bridger ([[Annette Bening]]) at gunpoint using a [[Ruger KP94]] pistol.

=Shotguns=
[[Image:Vlcsnap-178399.jpg‎|thumb|none|800px|A U.S. soldier mans an M60 atop a Humvee.]]
==Remington 870==
[[Image:Vlcsnap-182525.jpg‎|thumb|none|800px|A U.S. soldier firing an M60 from a Cadillac-Gage Commando APC during the raid on the chop-shop.]]
Both the FBI agents and many NYPD officers are seen carrying [[Remington 870]] shotguns fitted with top-folding stocks. One of these shotguns is wielded by Agent Frank Haddad ([[Tony Shalhoub]]) during the hostage situation at the school.

[[Image:Siege-R870-1.jpg|thumb|none|600px|FBI HRT agents advance up the stairs towards an apartment being used by the terrorists at a safehouse; the officer on point has a [[Remington 870]] with a folding stock. Note that this shot was reused in the film ''[[Light It Up]]''.]]
[[Image:Siege-R870-2.jpg|thumb|none|600px|An NYPD officer behind Elise Kraft ([[Annette Bening]]) during the schoolhouse incident is armed with another Remington 870 folder.]]
[[Image:Siege-R870-3.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Agent Haddad with an 870 as he and Agent Danny Sussman ([[David Proval]]) run into the school classroom after Hub takes down the terrorist.]]


==Ithaca 37==
Another weapon wielded by many of the FBI Agents is the [[Ithaca 37]] riot model. Special Agent Frank Haddad ([[Tony Shalhoub]]) carries one of these shotguns during the raid on the CIA safehouse.
[[Image:IthacaModel37.jpg|thumb|450px|none|Ithaca Model 37 - 12 gauge]]

[[Image:Siege-Ithaca-3.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Agent Haddad charges up the door to the safehouse with his Ithaca in hand, and takes the men inside by surprise.]]


== Browning M2 Heavy Machine Gun ==
==Mossberg 500 Cruiser==
What appears to be a [[Mossberg 500 Cruiser]] is wielded by one of the plainclothes FBI agents conducting the raid on the Redhook chop shop.
[[Image:Mossberg500Cruiser.jpg|thumb|none|500px|Mossberg 500 Cruiser - 12 Gauge]]
[[Image:Siege-R870-4.jpg|thumb|none|600px|An FBI Agent at the chop shop brings a Mossberg 500 to bear.]]


In the scene where the Army opens fire on the Redhook chop-shop, one of the Commando APCs can be briefly seen with a [[Browning M2]] heavy machine gun on the roof.
=Submachine Guns=
==Colt 9mm SMG (RO635)==
During the opening scene in which a team of American black ops soldiers capture the Sheik, they use [[M16 rifle series#Colt 9mm Submachine Gun (RO635)|Colt 9mm SMGs (RO635)]] which appear to be fitted with C-More sights. For some reason, the Colt SMGs sound suppressed when they are fired, even though they clearly do not have sound suppressors attached.
[[Image:Colt-9mm--SMG.jpg|thumb|none|450px|Colt SMG (RO635) - 9x19mm]]
[[Image:Siege-RO635-1.jpg|thumb|none|600px|One soldier passes his comrade a Colt 9mm SMG (RO635) so that they can take down the Sheik's bodyguards]]
[[Image:Siege-RO635-2.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The other soldier accepts the weapon (the long, stick-like magazine in this shot establishes clearly that the weapon is a Colt 9mm SMG (RO635).]]


[[Image:BrowningM2.jpg|thumb|none|350px|Browning M2 .50 BMG]]
==Heckler & Koch MP5A3==
[[Image:Vlcsnap-182525.jpg‎|thumb|none|800px|A U.S. soldier firing a Browning M2 in the background (behind the soldier firing the M60) during the raid on the chop-shop.]]
During both bus incidents, officers of the NYPD's Emergency Services Unit can be seen carrying [[Heckler & Koch MP5A3]] submachine guns fitted with Surefire forend weaponlights, as per norm with SWAT-issue MP5s. FBI tactical agents can also be seen carrying MP5A3s fitted with laser pointers and red dot sights during the raid on the terrorist safehouse.


Curiously, the FBI's MP5A3s have the "Navy"-style lower receivers and Surefire forearms when they are advancing up the stairs, but when they enter the terrorists' apartment and begin firing at them, the MP5s suddenly have the older-style SEF lower receivers and lack the Surefire forearms. It is likely that the MP5s used prior to entry are airsoft replicas.

[[Image:Siege-MP5-2.jpg|thumb|none|600px|FBI tactical agents advance up the stairs to the terrorist safehouse with their MP5A3s at the ready. The officer on point has a [[Remington 870]] shotgun.]]
[[Image:MP5A3.jpg|thumb|none|450px|Heckler & Koch MP5A3 with "tropical" (wide) forearm and S-E-F trigger group - 9x19mm]]
[[Image:Siege-MP5-5.jpg|thumb|none|600px|A SWAT agent opens fire upon the terrorists. Notice that with the one on the left, his MP5 is now missing the Surefire grip, and it also has an SEF rather than a Navy lower receiver. It seems he changed weapons at some point...or, it's just a continuity error.]]
[[Image:Siege-MP5-6.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The FBI tac agents at ease after clearing the apartment.]]


== Beretta M9 (M92FS) ==
==Heckler & Koch HK94A3 (mocked-up as MP5A3)==
At least one of the [[Heckler & Koch MP5A3|MP5A3]] submachine guns used by the FBI tactical agents during the safehouse raid is actually a [[Heckler & Koch HK94A3]] carbine mocked up as an MP5A3 (judging by the all-metal lower receiver and lack of barrel lugs).
[[Image:H&K94Conversion.jpg|thumb|none|450px|A Heckler & Koch HK94A3 converted to a resemble an MP5A3, with a chopped barrel and converted to automatic, with a third firing position added to the lower receiver. This may be one of the actual screen-used guns from ''[[Air Force One]]'' (unconfirmed).]]
[[Image:Siege-MP5-4.jpg|thumb|none|600px|FBI tactical agents fire upon the terrorists. The operator on the right has what appears to be a 'chopped and converted' HK94A3, noted by the the all-metal lower and non-lugged barrel (Especially noticeable with the image enlarged to full resolution).]]


Another weapon used by the Army is the [[Beretta M92F#Beretta 92 FS|Beretta M9]] pistol. One soldier can be seen holding one on the FBI Agent that the soldiers mistake for Hubbard, and another is presumably the weapon General Deveraux kills Tariq Husseini ([[Amro Salama]]) with.
==IMI Uzi==
During the hostage situation at the schoolhouse, the terrorist holding hostages can be seen wielding an [[Uzi]] as he paces about. Despite having the responding police and FBI personnel out-gunned, he's still easily taken down when Hubbard catches him off guard. One of the terrorists in the safehouse raid is also seen using an Uzi. This is a slight cultural irony, as the Uzi is primarily produced in Israel, and is being used by Arab terrorists.
[[Image:Uzi.jpg|thumb|none|400px|IMI Uzi - 9x19mm]]
[[Image:Siege-Uzi-1.jpg|thumb|none|600px|One of the terrorists at the safehouse dives under the couch to retrieve his Uzi submachine gun.]]

[[Image:Siege-Uzi-5.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The schoolhouse terrorist lies dead with his Uzi at his side. This one is quite obviously a rubber stunt version used for the drop scenes (as can be discerned by the filled-in front sight).]]

=Rifles / Carbines=
[[Image:Vlcsnap-193241.jpg|thumb|none|800px|A soldier points his Beretta M9 at an FBI agent at the climax.]]
==Savage 10FP==
During the Bus 87 incident, NYPD ESU snipers are briefly seen getting into position with [[Savage 10/110 Series Rifles|Savage 10FP]] sniper rifles fitted with Harris bipods.
[[Image:10fp.jpg|thumb|none|4500px|Savage 10FP with Harris bipod - 7.62x51mm NATO]]

[[Image:Siege-Savage-3.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Another sniper aims his Savage 10FP at the bus.]]


==AKM==
When the FBI tactical team raids the terrorist safehouse, one of the terrorists engages the FBI in a shootout using an [[AKM]], though is inevitably taken down, shooting blindly and so rapidly that he hits one of his own comrades who gets in the line of fire. As with most of the AKMs used in Hollywood, this is most likely to be a full-auto conversion of an Egyptian-made Maadi ARM.
[[Image:AKMRifle.jpg‎|thumb|450px|none|AKM - 7.62x39mm]]
[[Image:Siege-AKM-2.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The second terrorist in the safehouse brings up an AKM to fire upon the FBI tactical team.]]

[[Image:Siege-AKM-4.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The terrorist continues to fire his AKM without watching where he's aiming.]]


==Colt 9mm SMG==
==M16A2==
The [[M16A2]] assault rifle features prominently in the movie; almost every soldier involved in the occupation of Brooklyn is seen carrying one. A notable point in the film is that when Major General William Deveraux ([[Bruce Willis]]) is describing what the occupation will entail, he distinctly mentions the "[[M16A1|M16A1 assault rifle]]", though the U.S. military had switched to the M16A2 years prior to the events in the film, and indeed the M16A2s are by far the most common rifles in the movie. It is also possible that many of the prop weapons used in the movie are semi-automatic AR-15A2s, standing in for the M16A2 (since they're never fired).
[[Image:M16A2.jpg|thumb|450px|none|M16A2 - 5.56x45mm]]

[[Image:‎Siege-M16A2-8.jpg|thumb|none|600px|A young soldier with his [[M16A2]] during the final standoff. For some reason, he is wearing the Desert Combat Uniform and PASGT gear even though the environment does not warrant the use of this camouflage scheme.]]
[[Image:Siege-M16A2-9.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Another young American soldier with an M16A2 in the climax. This one is wearing the correct woodland camo uniform.]]


During the opening scene in which several American black ops soldiers capture the Sheik, they use [[M16 rifle series#Colt 9mm Submachine Gun|Colt 9mm submachine guns]] which appear to be fitted with C-More sights.
==MGC M16 Replica==
It appears that some [[MGC M16]] replica assault rifles are used by the U.S. Army soldiers in the movie. Some may be modified to look like M16A2s by adding A2-style handguards and A1-style birdcage flash hiders, but it's hard to tell.
[[Image:MGC16.jpg|thumb|none|450px|MGC M16 replica rifle.]]
[[Image:Siege-MGCM16-1.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The soldier in the center appears to be carrying an MGC M16 replica (this weapon was previously misidentified as an M16A1, but it is more likely an MGC replica).]]


[[Image:Colt-9mm--SMG.jpg|thumb|none|500px|Colt 9mm Submachine Gun - 9mm]]
==Olympic Arms K3B CAR==

Throughout the film, it is possible to see many soldiers carrying [[XM177]] look-a-like carbines, which are actually [[Olympic Arms K3B|Olympic Arms K3B CAR]] civilian clones of the XM177. (Notably: They all feature [[M16A2]]-style upper receivers and long 5.5" "mock" XM177-style flash hiders.)

The Siege is a 1998 thriller directed by Edward Zwick and starring Denzel Washington as FBI Assistant Special Agent-in-Charge Anthony 'Hub' Hubbard, who along with his fellow agents are charged with stopping a continuing series of terrorist attacks that have crippled the city of New York. The film is notable for its depiction of the American reaction to such a terrorist attack on US soil. Though the film was poorly received at the time of its release, it was later regarded as prescient following the tragic events of September 11, 2001. The cast included Annette Bening, Tony Shalhoub, and Bruce Willis, and the film was co-written by Lawrence Wright, who is now better-known as the author of the book The Looming Tower.


The following weapons were used in the film The Siege:

Handguns

SIG-Sauer P226

The main protagonist of the film, FBI ASAC (Assistant Special Agent-in-Charge) Anthony 'Hub' Hubbard (Denzel Washington) and several of his fellow FBI agents carry SIG-Sauer P226 pistols as their standard sidearms.

Glock 19

The NYPD officers throughout the movie carry Glock 19 pistols as their sidearms. Some of the FBI and CIA agents also use them.

Beretta 92FS

One weapon used by the Army during their occupation is the Beretta 92FS pistol (standing in for the military M9). One soldier can be seen holding one on Hubbard's decoy, and another is presumably the weapon General Deveraux uses to kill Tariq Husseini (Amro Salama). Also, it's difficult to tell (because of the light), but it appears that the terrorist in the safehouse who collects the pizza box (with flash-bang) also has a Beretta lying on the table.

Shotguns

Remington 870

Both the FBI agents and many NYPD officers are seen carrying Remington 870 shotguns fitted with top-folding stocks. One of these shotguns is wielded by Agent Frank Haddad (Tony Shalhoub) during the hostage situation at the school.

Ithaca 37

Another weapon wielded by many of the FBI Agents is the Ithaca 37 riot model. Special Agent Frank Haddad (Tony Shalhoub) carries one of these shotguns during the raid on the CIA safehouse.

Submachine Guns

Colt 9mm SMG (RO635)

During the opening scene in which a team of American black ops soldiers capture the Sheik, they use Colt 9mm SMGs (RO635) which appear to be fitted with C-More sights. For some reason, the Colt SMGs sound suppressed when they are fired, even though they clearly do not have sound suppressors attached.

The other soldier accepts the weapon (the long, stick-like magazine in this shot establishes clearly that the weapon is a Colt 9mm SMG (RO635).

Heckler & Koch MP5A3

During both bus incidents, officers of the NYPD's Emergency Services Unit can be seen carrying Heckler & Koch MP5A3 submachine guns fitted with Surefire forend weaponlights, as per norm with SWAT-issue MP5s. FBI tactical agents can also be seen carrying MP5A3s fitted with laser pointers and red dot sights during the raid on the terrorist safehouse.

Curiously, the FBI's MP5A3s have the "Navy"-style lower receivers and Surefire forearms when they are advancing up the stairs, but when they enter the terrorists' apartment and begin firing at them, the MP5s suddenly have the older-style SEF lower receivers and lack the Surefire forearms. It is likely that the MP5s used prior to entry are airsoft replicas.

Heckler & Koch HK94A3 (mocked-up as MP5A3)

At least one of the MP5A3 submachine guns used by the FBI tactical agents during the safehouse raid is actually a Heckler & Koch HK94A3 carbine mocked up as an MP5A3 (judging by the all-metal lower receiver and lack of barrel lugs).

Error creating thumbnail: File missing

IMI Uzi

During the hostage situation at the schoolhouse, the terrorist holding hostages can be seen wielding an Uzi as he paces about. Despite having the responding police and FBI personnel out-gunned, he's still easily taken down when Hubbard catches him off guard. One of the terrorists in the safehouse raid is also seen using an Uzi. This is a slight cultural irony, as the Uzi is primarily produced in Israel, and is being used by Arab terrorists.

Rifles / Carbines

Savage 10FP

During the Bus 87 incident, NYPD ESU snipers are briefly seen getting into position with Savage 10FP sniper rifles fitted with Harris bipods.

AKM

When the FBI tactical team raids the terrorist safehouse, one of the terrorists engages the FBI in a shootout using an AKM, though is inevitably taken down, shooting blindly and so rapidly that he hits one of his own comrades who gets in the line of fire. As with most of the AKMs used in Hollywood, this is most likely to be a full-auto conversion of an Egyptian-made Maadi ARM.

M16A2

The M16A2 assault rifle features prominently in the movie; almost every soldier involved in the occupation of Brooklyn is seen carrying one. A notable point in the film is that when Major General William Deveraux (Bruce Willis) is describing what the occupation will entail, he distinctly mentions the "M16A1 assault rifle", though the U.S. military had switched to the M16A2 years prior to the events in the film, and indeed the M16A2s are by far the most common rifles in the movie. It is also possible that many of the prop weapons used in the movie are semi-automatic AR-15A2s, standing in for the M16A2 (since they're never fired).

MGC M16 Replica

It appears that some MGC M16 replica assault rifles are used by the U.S. Army soldiers in the movie. Some may be modified to look like M16A2s by adding A2-style handguards and A1-style birdcage flash hiders, but it's hard to tell.

Olympic Arms K3B CAR

Throughout the film, it is possible to see many soldiers carrying XM177 look-a-like carbines, which are actually Olympic Arms K3B CAR civilian clones of the XM177. (Notably: They all feature M16A2-style upper receivers and long 5.5" "mock" XM177-style flash hiders.)

Machine Guns

In several scenes, Humvees and Cadillac-Gage Commando APCs can be seen with M60 machine guns mounted on them, most notably when General Deveraux is giving his press conference about the declaration of martial law and when the Army crashes the FBI's raid on the Redhook chop-shop.

GE M134 Minigun

An AH-1 Cobra is seen erroneously with a chin-mounted GE M134 Minigun. This is most likely the same civilian-owned Cobra seen in such films as Hulk and Austin Powers in Goldmember. The use of a Cobra by the Army is rather anachronistic, as they had transitioned to the AH-64 Apache years prior to the events of the film.

Grenades

M26 Hand Grenade

During the raid on the Redhook chop-shop, one of the terrorists inside uses the distraction created by the arrival of the Army to pull an M26 hand grenade, the detonation of which provokes the soldiers outside to open up on the shop with everything they have, and Hubbard and Husseini barely escape the onslaught.
