Revision as of 02:32, 17 April 2009
The following weapons can be seen in the film U.S. Marshals:
(Sequel to film The Fugitive)
Glock 22
The 2nd Generation Glock 22 pistol appears in the film as the main weapon of U.S. Deputy Marshal Sam Gerard (Tommy Lee Jones) and his fellow deputies. Later in the film, Special Agent John Royce (Robert Downey Jr.) can be seen using one when he and Gerard are pursuing Mark Sheridan (Wesley Snipes) aboard the cargo ship, breaking up a fight between Sheridan and Gerard by shooting Sheridan in the shoulder after Sheridan gets ahold of Gerard's Glock and pistol-whips Gerard in the back with it. Near the end of the film, Royce attempts to use his Glock to kill Sheridan and Gerard, only to discover that Gerard had replaced the magazine with an empty one from his gun.
(It is revealed in the film that Gerard carries the G22 during the hospital scene, when Gerard points out that Royce is now carrying a Glock and Royce replies, "Yeah, Glock .40, just like yours.")
Taurus PT945
When Royce and Gerard first meet, Gerard asks to see what kind of gun Royce is carrying. Royce then produces a stainless steel Taurus PT945 which Gerard calls a "nickel-plated sissy pistol", advising Royce to get a Glock instead. During the manhunt in the swamp, Sheridan takes the pistol from Royce and holds him at gunpoint in a short standoff with Gerard before shooting Gerard in his bulletproof vest in order to make his escape. Royce manages to retake the weapon and later uses the pistol to fatally wound Deputy Marshal Noah Newman (Tom Wood) when Newman catches Royce about to kill Sheridan in cold blood at the Lorelei Building. Royce then tries to pass it off as the gun Sheridan used to kill Newman with the serial number filed off, but Gerard recognizes it from their earlier meeting.
Glock 27
When boarding the prisoner transport flight, Gerard removes both his Glock 22 and a sub-compact Glock variant that he carries in an ankle holster as a backup weapon. This is most likely a Glock 27, which is chambered for the same .40 S&W cartridge as his Glock 22. After this scene, the baby Glock is not seen for the rest of the film, likely lost in the crash-landing incident.
Glock 17
NYPD officers responding to the Lorelei Building can be seen carrying Glock 17s as their standard sidearms.
Colt AR-15/SP1 Carbine
During the cemetery scene, Sheridan and the deputies come under fire by U.N. Cultural Attache of China Xian Chen (Michael Paul Chan) wielding a Colt AR-15/SP1 Carbine fitted with a scope and Sound Suppressor from the roof of one of the buildings.
Kahr K9
Following the car crash in Chicago, firefighters responding to the accident find a blue steel Kahr K9 hidden in the glovebox of Sheridan's tow truck (although the gun is mostly covered up by the holster it's in, you can see "K9" on the end of the slide). The discovery of this weapon leads to Sheridan being arrested on concealed weapons charges.
Ruger SP-101
When Sheridan hijacks a semi truck, he also takes possession of the driver's Ruger SP-101 revolver and some extra ammo for it. He later uses it during the manhunt in the swamp, holding Royce at gunpoint with it.
XL-17 Pen Gun
While on board the prisoner transport flight, an Asian prisoner retrieves an XL-17 pen gun hidden in a roll of toilet paper in the lavatory. The prisoner then attempts to use the weapon to kill Sheridan but fails, the shot piercing the fuselage of the plane and causing an explosive decompression that sucks the would-be assassin and several other prisoners and guards out of the plane and forces an emergency landing. Of course, a single bullet hole cannot cause explosive decompression in real life.
M1911A1
Upon reaching New York City, Sheridan meets with an old friend he calls "Sarge" who provides him with materials needed in his mission to exonerate himself, including a stainless steel M1911A1. He then uses it when he confronts Agent Barrows in the cemetery, pistol-whipping him in the face and holding him at gunpoint with it. He then uses it in the ensuing shootout with Xian Chen, and while being persued to the Lorelei Building by Gerard and company. Interestingly, Gerard can be seen holding this pistol on promotional material for the film, but never uses one on-screen.
Remington 870
Remington 870 shotguns make several appearances in the film, first in the hands of prisoner transport flight guards following the crash-landing, then in the hands of locals helping with the swamp manhunt, then in the hands of NYPD officers at the Lorelei Building.
Mossberg 500 "Cruiser"
A Mossberg 500 "Cruiser", a pistol grip version of the Mossberg 500 is recovered by Gerard from a baby's crib during the fugitive arrest in the beginning of the film. One of the suspects tries to get this weapon so that he can shoot Deputy Marshall Noah Newman (Tom Wood), but Newman shoots him with his Glock in the shoulder before he can do this. Gerard later takes this weapon and uses it to intimidate another suspect.
Heckler & Koch MP5A2
During the swamp scene, a Kentucky State Police officer in a helicopter can briefly be seen with a Heckler & Koch MP5A2 fitted with a scope, despite the absurdity of using a submachine gun as a sniper or even a marksman's weapon.
- Are you sure it's an MP5? The angle makes it hard to tell, but the shape of the stock is not very MP5-ish. It looks more to me like like an SR9 variant.
- Maybe it's a PSG-1 or a G3?
It has to be a G3 Variant
Well, watching it again, I don't see the G3 style magazine, so it can't be any of that. Excalibur01 14:13, 12 January 2009 (UTC)
I wouldn't consider it absurd at all to use a submachinegun as a sniper/marksman weapon, I remember seeing a documentary on the German Federal Police (or the GSG9) and they were using the MP5A3 in the same role in a helicopter. -User:AdAstra2009
- It looks like an HK91, judging by the trigger grouping and the handguard, but that's just a guess. I wouldn't know how large the actors hands are, but he only takes up a part of it.
- It appears to have two pins over the right thumb implying that--whatever else it is--it is not a 9mm or 5.56mm weapon. Additionally, the reciever is grooved, so not a PSG-1 or MSG90-series weapon. (Tweak the lighting on that clip.)
- Looking at the cap. for about 30 or so seconds, I can offer the following tidbit; if you look closely at the end of the handguard, you can just barely make out the front sight, thus excluding the PSG-1 from the list of candidates, as the rifle does not have iron sights to begin with. Also, the buttstock looks to be a standard buttstock, due to the apparent lack of a cheek rest, which is featured on the PSG-1, MSG-90, and G3-SG1 rifles. hope this helps -24.186.223.137
- It could still be an HK91 with a scope then, couldn't it? ~ Revolver
