Speed is the 1994 action film that stars Keanu Reeves as Jack Traven, an LAPD SWAT officer who finds himself on a city bus which he is told will explode if its speed dips below 50 miles per hour. The film marked the directorial debut of noted action film cinematographer Jan de Bont and the cast included Dennis Hopper as well as Sandra Bullock in her breakthrough performance. Sandra Bullock would return in the 1997 sequel Speed 2: Cruise Control.

The following weapons were used in the film Speed:

Handguns

M1911A1

LAPD SWAT officers including Jack Traven (Keanu Reeves) and Harry Temple (Jeff Daniels) keep M1911A1 pistols with (early made "Laser Products") Surefire 310R (Reeves) and 610R (Daniels) flashlights as their sidearms in the film. Even though the LAPD standard issue sidearm for patrol officers were in 9mm caliber, LAPD SWAT had always used .45 M1911 models as their sidearm. These 1911 models varied differently for each user, many of which where handguns originally confiscated from criminals and tricked out by the department "gun cage jockey" who would turn the guns into tactical weapons. These were also the first guns to be fitted with frame mounted flashlights. After deciding to have the department issue these guns so the officers wouldn't have to buy them, they tested several models until they decided upon the Kimber Custom TLE II as their sidearms. Since this film is before the issue of these guns, the 1911s can be any type of model. According to the armorers who worked on this film, the 1911s in the film were both 1911A1s and 9mm Colt Series 70s.

+'''''Speed''''' is the 1994 action film that stars [[Keanu Reeves]] as Jack Traven, an LAPD SWAT officer who finds himself on a city bus which he is told will explode if its speed dips below 50 miles per hour.  The film marked the directorial debut of noted action film cinematographer [[Jan de Bont]] and the cast included [[Dennis Hopper]] as well as [[Sandra Bullock]] in her breakthrough performance.  [[Sandra Bullock]] would return in the 1997 sequel ''[[Speed 2: Cruise Control]]''.
-At the beginning of the film, Jack Traven ([[Keanu Reeves]]), draws an [[M1911 pistol series#M1911A1|M1911A1]] with a tactical flashlight when Howard Payne ([[Dennis Hopper]]) holds his partner, Harry Temple ([[Jeff Daniels]]) hostage. Jack then shoots Harry's leg with it to try and force Payne to surrender, but instead Payne flees and fakes his own death. Harry carries one when he and a SWAT Team go to Payne's house to try and capture him, only to be blown up by one of Payne's bombs.

+==Heckler & Koch HK94A3 (chopped and converted)==
+LAPD SWAT Officers Jack Traven ([[Keanu Reeves]]) and Harry Temple ([[Jeff Daniels]]) are seen using [[Heckler & Koch HK94A3]] collapsing stock civilian guns with 16" barrels chopped and converted to resemble [[MP5A3]]s, fitted with Surefire light dedicated forends when responding to an incident near the beginning of the film. They can be noted as HK94s instead of MP5A3s because of the lack of barrel lugs, a push-pin set, and the lack of a paddle magazine release behind the magazine.

+[[Image:SpeedHK94-8.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Jack searches the roof with his HK94A3. Like many actors, he has trouble keeping the light button depressed enough to not turn the light on.]]
-Jack's off-duty pistol is an unknown Smith & Wesson handgun. It looks like a [[Smith & Wesson 4000 pistol series#Smith & Wesson 4506|Smith & Wesson 4506]], but its a K-Kote pistol, and the 4506 is only a stainless pistol. He uses it during the standoff with one of the bus passengers who thinks that Jack has come to arrest him. He later uses it when chasing Payne into the subway, using it to shoot off a door lock, then loses it when Payne is firing at Jack.
+==Heckler & Koch SP89 (mocked up as MP5K)==
-[[Image:speed_smith_wesson.jpg|thumb|none|500px|Jack aims his Smith & Wesson at the passenger.]]
+Howard Payne ([[Dennis Hopper]]) uses a nickel plated [[Heckler & Koch SP89]] made to look like an [[MP5K]] by adding the MP5K foregrip and converting it to full-auto. It can be noted as an SP89 instead of an MP5K due to the lack of a paddle magazine release behind the magazine and lack of a push-pin lower receiver.  According to the movie armorers, the filmmakers paid in advance for the armorers to send out the gun to be nickel plated. The weapon stayed Satin nickel until after 2001 when it was converted back to live fire.
-== Unknown Revolver ==
+[[Image:H&K-MP5KEarlyModel.jpg|thumb|none|350px|Heckler & Koch SP89 converted to full auto fire and made to look like an MP5K - 9x19mm. Note lack of paddle magazine release and push-pin lower receiver.]]

+[[Image:SpeedSP89-6.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Payne fires his fully automatic SP89 at Jack on the roof of the train.]]
-The passenger who threatens Jack pulls out a revolver of unknown make and model, (it could be a Taurus Model 85, but I don't know.). He loses it when one of the passengers, Ortiz ([[Carlos Carrasco]]), jumps him and tries to get it away from him, but in the process, accidentally fires it at the driver of the bus.
+==Heckler & Koch HK94A2 (chopped and converted)==
+When entering Payne's house with Harry, Robin ([[Margaret Medina]]) is seen using a full-stock [[Heckler & Koch HK94A2]] 16" barrel civilian gun chopped and converted to resemble an [[MP5A2]] with a Surefire light dedicated forend. Other SWAT officers are seen with HK94A2s.

+==Mossberg 500A Mariner (Pistol Grip)==
+Howard Payne ([[Dennis Hopper]]) uses a [[Mossberg 500#Mossberg 500 Cruiser |Mossberg 500A Mariner]] fitted with a pistol grip with the barrel sawed down to 16" to shoot at Jack and Harry through the roof of the elevator (which would result in temporary hearing damage). When Harry falls through, he continues to fire at Jack, while taking the elevator to the top floor to force Jack to jump in. When he does, he sticks the shotgun in his face and pulls the trigger, only to find the gun is empty. In reality, his Mossberg is a six shot (including one in the chamber), not eight like it is portrayed in the film.

-At the film's climax, Payne uses a stainless steel [[Heckler & Koch MP5#Heckler & Koch MP5K|H&K MP5K]] with a folding stock, using it to threaten the passengers and the driver of a subway train. He then fires it at Jack on the roof of the train until he runs out of ammo.
