In The Line Of Duty: The F.B.I. Murders is a 1988 made-for-television film based on the events of a real life FBI investigation which led to the April 11, 1986 FBI Miami shooting incident.
The following weapons were used in the film In the Line of Duty: The F.B.I. Murders:
Pistols
Smith & Wesson 459
Special Agent Ben Grogan (Ronny Cox) and Special Agent Jerry Dove (Bruce Greenwood) both carry Smith & Wesson 459 9mm pistols as their sidearms. Special Agent Ron Risner (Randal Patrick) is also armed with a 459. This is quite accurate, as the FBI purchased 803 S&W 459's and issued them to SWAT trained Special Agents in the early eighties.
Beretta 92F
In a continuity error, both Special Agent Jerry Dove (Bruce Greenwood) and Special Agent Ron Risner (Randal Patrick) are seen with a Beretta 92F in some scenes.
Colt M1911A1
William Matix (Michael Gross) briefly uses a M1911A1 pistol to steal a car by shooting it's owner. The M1911A1 is also used in the film when Platt and Matix break into the pinball machine salesman's home. It is later seen when Matix tells his wife to get out.
Unknown
The man that is shot by William Matix with a Colt Python is target practicing with an unknown pistol. It closely resembles the S&W 459, but there is never a close up shot.
Revolvers
Smith & Wesson Model 10
Agents who do not carry the Smith & Wesson 459 pistol in this film carry a 4" barreled Smith & Wesson Model 10 .38 Special revolver, including Supervisory Special Agent Gordon "Gordy" McNeill (Doug Sheehan). Special Agent Ed Mirelles (Ronald G. Joseph) notably uses a Model 10 to fatally wound Matix and Platt as they attempt to flee the shootout.
During the period the agency-issued revolver for FBI Special Agents was the 3" barreled Smith & Wesson Model 13 .357 Magnum revolver; The Model 13 became FBI standard-issue in 1982.
In the actual shootout SA Ed Mirelles carried a 3" barreled Smith & Wesson Model 686 .357 Magnum revolver, while SSA Gordon McNeill carried a 2.5" barreled Smith & Wesson Model 19 .357 Magnum revolver. The two weapons were personally owned by Mirelles and McNeill, respectively, and are both listed in FBI documents as being approved for carry by the respective agents.
Smith & Wesson Model 36
Special Agent John Hanlon (Peter McRobbie) uses a backup Smith & Wesson Model 36 in the shootout scene, after his main sidearm was knocked over during a collision with the other pursuit vehicles.
Smith & Wesson Model 686
Michael Platt (David Soul) uses a Smith & Wesson Model 686 to kill a man target shooting with a rifle at the beginning of the film, to steal his gold Monte Carlo. William Matix carries the Model 686 in a shoulder holster during the shootout; At one point Platt takes the revolver and attempts to shoot Special Agent Ed Mirelles (Ronald G. Joseph) with it, missing his head by inches before the gun misfires after 3 shots.
In the actual shootout a Smith & Wesson Model 586 was used, but not in this particular portion of the incident - A Dan Wesson revolver is what Platt pulled from Matix's shoulder holster. The S&W Model 586 was used first by Michael Platt at the beginning of the actual shootout, before switching to his Ruger Mini-14.
Colt Python
William Matix (Michael Gross) uses a Colt Python in an attempt to kill a man target shooting with a pistol to take his black Monte Carlo. It is never seen again.
In the actual shootout a Dan Wesson revolver (which resembles the Colt Python) was used in addition to a Smith & Wesson Model 586.
Smith & Wesson Model 29
Michael Platt (David Soul) briefly uses a Smith & Wesson Model 29 during the home invasion scene. After that, the revolver is never seen again.
Shotguns
Ithaca 37
William Matix (Michael Gross) uses a Ithaca 37 shotgun throughout the film. Michael Platt (David Soul) uses it to execute a guard who drew on them. In the film the barrel is cut down in front of the magazine tube. In the actual shootout Matix used a Smith & Wesson 3000 Shotgun that featured an extended magazine tube so the barrel would not have been cut down.
Remington 870
Several FBI agents are seen with the Remington 870 in the film. Special Agent Ed Mirelles (Ronald G. Joseph) notably uses a Remington 870 during the shootout.
Rifles / Carbines
Ruger AC-556K
Michael Platt (David Soul) uses a Ruger AC-556K for most of the film. Platt uses the AC-556K to kill an armored car guard, and later uses it in the shootout against the FBI agents that attempt to apprehend him.
In the actual incident, the real Michael Platt used a Mini-14 with a folding stock, but it was stainless steel and was semi-auto only, unlike in the film where a full-auto AC-556 was used.

Para Ordnance Model 85
After the FBI arrive to question the paramilitary group. A kid fires a Para Ordnance Model 85 at them. After the agents catch up with him he explains that it's a pellet gun.
