Revision as of 02:20, 3 April 2009
The following guns were used in this film:
Heckler & Koch MP5A3
Nearly all of the special forces commandos led by Colonel Austin Travis (Steven Seagal) use Heckler & Koch MP5A3 submachine guns as their primary weapons throughout the movie. The MP5A3s used by the commandos all have the Navy lower receivers and threaded barrels fitted with detachable suppressors of some type.
Heckler & Koch MP5SD3
Captain Rat (John Leguizamo) is the only one of Colonel Travis' men who carries a Heckler & Koch MP5SD3, the integrally suppressed version of the MP5A3. Like the other commandos' MP5A3s, his gun has the Navy lower receiver.
Heckler & Koch MP5K-PDW (mock-up)
Lt. Colonel Austin Travis (Steven Seagal) carries a Heckler & Koch MP5K fitted with a PDW folding stock during the opening scene at the Chechen safehouse. His gun is not a factory MP5K-PDW because it has the SEF lower receiver (the factory PDW has a Navy lower) and seems to have a fake suppressor welded onto the end of the muzzle (rather than the extended, threaded barrel of the factory MP5K-PDW). This means his gun is a standard MP5K mocked up to resemble an MP5K-PDW.
Walther PPK
The British intelligence agents who capture terrorist mastermind Al Sayed Jaffa (Andreas Katsulas) in Cypress early in the film are armed with Walther PPK pistols with suppressors.
Type 69 RPG
What appears to be a Chinese Type 69 copy of the RPG-7 is used by one of Al Sayed Jaffa's men when he is kidnapped in Cypress. The weapon is not seen very clearly for very long, however.
AKMS
Almost all of the jihadist terrorists in the movie, including the Chechen mafia thugs at the beginning, Al Sayed Jaffa's men in Cypress, and the Algerian terrorists who hijack Flight 343, are armed with AKMS assault rifles. What's strange is that most (if not all) of the AKMS rifles seen in the movie have the older-style .75" AK-47 front sight posts, rather than the thinner .5" front sight post of the AKM and AKMS. One of the AKMS rifles in the movie also has a side-folding stock similar to that of an SA Vz.58, which suggests non-Russian manufacture.
Glock 19
When the hijackers start to take over Flight 343, Nagi Hassan (David Suchet), the leader of the group, goes into the bathroom and unpacks a Glock 19 which has been disassembled and hidden in his camera. He carries the Glock 19 as his sidearm throughout the film and uses it to kill passengers (and even one of his own men) on several occasions. The terrorist who watches over the pilots in the cockpit is also armed with a Glock 19.
Skorpion SA Vz 61
Nagi Hassan's (David Suchet's) primary weapon is a Skorpion SA Vz 61 machine pistol.
It's interesting to note that Hassan is the only terrorist on Flight 343 to use one a Skorpion. However, when the commandos are using cameras to look into the 747's cabin and IDing the terrorists' armaments and locations, Baker (Whip Hubley) and Captain Rat (John Leguizamo) each claim to see several hijackers armed with Skorpions (Leguizamo also mis-identifies the Skorpions' calibers as 9mm, rather than .32 ACP). This is in spite of the fact that the terrorists they are looking at all clearly have AKMS rifles, and the fact that Grant (Kurt Russell) actually types "AKM" into his computer when taking notes, despite not being able to see the hijackers!
Unknown (custom?) 1911
All of Colonel Travis' SF commandos carry unknown 1911-type pistols as their sidearms. The exact model is hard to determine. The closest guns they seem to resemble are the Colt Mark IV Series 70 Gold Cup National Match (judging by the grips, which are clearly visible in several scenes), but unlike the factory Gold Cup National Match pistols, they have ambidextrous extended safety levers. It's possible that they were custom-built 1911s assembled by the armorer specifically for this film.
SIG-Sauer P228
The Air Marshall on the plane (Richard Riehle), carries a SIG-Sauer P228 as his sidearm, which he conceals in his sock. He doesn't use it until the climax.
FN FNC Paratrooper
One of the hijackers is armed with an FN FNC Paratrooper assault rifle.
Ithaca 37 "Stakeout"
When the commandos need another shooter to assist in taking control of Flight 343, they ask Dr. David Grant (Kurt Russell) to work with them. Grant is given an Ithaca 37 "Stakeout" short-barrel shotgun for the job. He never gets to use it, however.
Heckler & Koch USP (mocked up as Heckler & Koch Mark 23)
Dr. David Grant (Kurt Russell) is seen near the end of the film wielding a .45-caliber Heckler & Koch USP mocked up to look like a Heckler & Koch Mk 23 Mod 0, fitted with a LAM unit and a fake Knight's Armament suppressor. This was done because at the time the movie was made, the only Mark 23s in existence were the military Mk 23 Mod 0 issued to U.S. SOCOM; the commercially-available Mark 23 for non-SOCOM users did not become available until a few years later.
