American Heist is a 2014 crime drama starring Hayden Christensen as James Kelly, a former criminal trying to turn his life around as a car mechanic in New Orleans after committing a robbery with his older brother Frankie (Adrien Brody). After being released from prison, Frankie who had been covering for his younger brother's involvement, tries to convince James to join him in one last job robbing a local bank with the gang of underworld connections which includes Sugar (Akon) and Ray (Tory Kittles).
The following weapons were used in the film American Heist:
Handguns
Chiappa Rhino 50DS
Frankie (Adrien Brody) uses a chrome Chiappa Rhino 50DS as his side arm during the bank robbery.
Beretta 8000 Cougar F
James, assigned as getaway car driver, keeps a Beretta 8000 Cougar F in his glove compartment and uses it during the robbery.
Desert Eagle Mark XIX
Sugar (Akon) carries a chrome Desert Eagle Mark XIX with a muzzle brake as his side-arm throughout the movie.
Glock 17
Frankie and NOPD officers are seen using the Glock 17 Gen. 2 with a regular black finish, whereas Ray (Tory Kittles) can be seen using a Gen. 3 model with stainless steel slide.
Glock 19
In what seems to be a continuity error, Ray’s above described Glock 17 with stainless steel slide appears to be a shorter Glock 19 in the scene where the robbery is prepared.
Submachine Guns
Heckler & Koch UMP45
Several NOPD SWAT operatives can be seen with the Heckler & Koch UMP45 during shootouts with the hostage takers on the street.
Heckler & Koch MP5K
During the finale, another NOPD SWAT operative is firing a Heckler & Koch MP5K as the robbery flows out onto the street.
Rifles
Colt M4A1
M4A1 carbines with RIS foregrip are used by both Sugar and Ray. NOPD officers are possibly also seen with this rifle, but the pouring rain on the street does not allow a conclusive identification.
Colt Sporter I
Spoonie (Luis Da Silva Jr.) carries a Colt AR-15 Sporter Carbine carbine as his side arm during the robbery. It can be easily identified by the slabside receiver and the barrel length.
Colt Model 933
Two Colt Model 933s can be seen on a table as the gang prepare for the robbery, allowing a good view of the short 11.5" barrel.
AKU-94
Several NOPD SWAT operatives are using the AKU-94 with M4-style birdcage flash hider and lacking sights, a configuration unlikely to be expected as service weapon anywhere in the USA.
Bushmaster M17S (prop)
At the start of the robbery, Sugar jumps across a counter. For a few seconds, his M4A1 carbine becomes a prop resembling the Bushmaster M17S, probably for safety reasons.
Custom AR-15 (PWS Diablo)
Several NOPD officers and SWAT operatives carry what appear to be custom AR-15 carbines equipped with a holographic sight and/or tactical light.
Sniper Rifles
Armalite AR-10SB
In the final scene, a NOPD sniper in the background is seen taking position opposite the bank building with what looks very much like a Armalite AR-10SB.
Remington M40A5
Another NOPD sniper is seen setting up a Remington M40A5 Sniper Rifle with an AN/PEQ-2 IR designator.
Shotguns
Mossberg 500 "Persuader"
Several NOPD officers responding to 911 call about the bank robbery use the Mossberg 500 Persuader.
Serbu Super Shorty (Maverick Model 88)
Frankie carries a Serbu Super Shorty made from a Maverick Model 88 as his side arm. It can be distinguished from the Mossberg 500 by the lack of safety on top of the receiver.
