The Devil's Own is a 1997 thriller starring Brad Pitt as an IRA gunman who travels to New York in order to secure Stinger missiles to use against the British in his native Ireland. While in the United States, operatives arrange for him to live with an NYPD sergeant (Harrison Ford) and his family, who do not know his true identity. This was the final film directed by Alan J. Pakula, who was killed in a freak car accident in 1998.
The following weapons were used in the film The Devil's Own:

When Frankie Maguire (Brad Pitt) is visited in hiding by another IRA member, he comes out of his hiding spot brandishing a SIG-Sauer P226.
Browning BDA 380
When Frankie Maguire comes to America under the alias Rory Devaney, he takes along a Browning BDA 380 pistol, which he hides in the same bag with the money needed to purchase the Stinger missiles.
Heckler & Koch P7M8

Smith & Wesson Model 28
A Smith & Wesson Model 28 is used by the thief whom Tom O'Meara and his partner Diaz (Rubén Blades) catch breaking into a pickup truck.

Smith & Wesson 5946
In the climax of the film, Frankie Maguire (Brad Pitt) is seen using a Smith & Wesson 5946 when he confronts Tom O'Meara. The 5946 is one of several authorised pistols for purchase by NYPD officers.
Submachine Guns
MAC-10
MAC-10 machine pistols are used by several of the other IRA gunmen during the shootout in Belfast.
Heckler & Koch MP5A3
The SAS operators who attempt to apprehend Frankie Maguire and his Active Service Unit are all armed with Heckler & Koch MP5A3 submachine guns. There is a continuity error in that the MP5s have the older-style "slimline" handguard when the SAS men are in their car loading their weapons, but when the firefight starts, the MP5s have the newer "tropical"/wide-type handguard.
Assault Rifles
Norinco Type 56-1
