The following weapons are used in the television series The Kill Point:
More to come.... -MT2008
Ingram MAC-11
The robber Albert "Mr. Pig" Roman (Frank Grillo) can be seen carrying a MAC-11 as his weapon of choice through most of the series. One of the hostages, Ashley Beck (Christine Evangelista), gets ahold of it when she and some of the other hostages make a bid to overpower their captors, but loses her nerve when faced with the prospect of actually using the weapon and ends up letting "Mr. Pig" retake it, foiling their plans.
Heckler & Koch SP89
The leader of the robbers, Jake "Mr. Wolf" Mendez (John Leguizamo), can be seen using a Heckler & Koch SP89, a civilian variant of the H&K MP5K with two magazines taped together 'jungle style' and converted to fire full auto. One of the hostages named Rocko (Adam Cantor) is seen with it when disguised as "Mr. Wolf" when it seems like Ashley Beck is going to be released, and later gets ahold of it briefly when some of the hostages stage an ill-fated bid to overpower their captors.
Smith & Wesson Model 15
When the robbers first take over the bank, the security guard Henry (Adam Kroloff) has a Smith & Wesson Model 15 revolver, which is quickly taken from him by "Mr. Pig" who then holds it on the other bystanders in the bank along with his MAC-11, though isn't seen with it after the first episode.
Smith & Wesson Model 60
the Pittsburg Police negotiator, Captain Horst Cali (Donnie Wahlberg) carries a Smith & Wesson Model 60 revolver as his sidearm, in contrast to his fellow officers who carry Glocks. He rarely uses it, preferring to employ his negotiating skills instead. He most notably has it drawn when chasing Mr. Wolf through the tunnel beneath the bank as Mr. Wolf flees back inside.
AR-15 A2 HBAR
Pittsburg Police officers responding to the robbery and an armored van driver can be seen using Colt AR-15 A2 HBAR rifles, the civilian version of the M16A2, during the first shootout. Another AR-15 A2 can be seen in the hands of one of the men brought in as backup during the final shootout, but he is taken out by SWAT before he can use it.
Glock 17
Pittsburg Police officers and SWAT members responding to the robbery and FBI Agent Carrie Southwell, who is fatally wounded during the first shootout, can be seen wielding 2nd and 3rd Glock 17 pistols. "Mr. Wolf" can be seen holding a Glock in promotional material as seen above, but never uses one on-screen.
Micro Uzi
The robber Marshall "Mr. Cat" O'Brien, Jr. (J.D. Williams) can be seen wielding a Micro Uzi with a custom shoulder sling. One of the hostages, an elderly man named Bernard (Bingo O'Malley) later gets ahold of the weapon in an ill-fated attempt to overpower their captors. Another Micro Uzi can be seen in the hands of one of the men brought in as backup during the final shootout, holding Cpt. Cali's wife Lucy Cali (Laurel Brooke Johnson) at gunpoint with it before being killed by Quincy.
Remington 870
The robber Henry "Mr. Rabbit" Roman (Jeremy Davidson) and Pittsburg Police officers responding to the robbery as well as one of the armored van drivers can be seen using Remington 870 shotguns. The one used by "Mr. Rabbit" has a pachymar revolver-style pistol grip in place of the stock. He is last seen with it when his body is found in the bank, having been killed during a brawl with "Mr. Wolf" when the two came to blows about how to resolve the siege.
M4A1 Carbine
Pittsburgh Police SWAT officers responding to the bank robbery can be seen carrying M4A1 carbines fitted with various accessories including RIS foregrips and tactical flashlights. Due to the heavy SWAT presence, the weapon is one of the most common in scenes outside the bank. Some of the men brought in as backup for the final shootout can also be seen with M4A1's.
It should be noted that the M4s used in the show for non-firing scenes appear to be airsoft M4s. However, every time the "M4s" are fired, they magically turn into Colt AR-15 Sporter 1 carbines, as described below. Yet more evidence of this show's tendency to use older model civilian "assault weapons" (many of which are no longer sold/manufactured in the United States) for all of the characters - "good" guys and "bad" guys.
Colt AR-15 Sporter-1 carbine
In scenes where Pittsburgh P.D. SWAT officers fire their M4A1 carbines, the weapons switch to Colt AR-15 SP1 carbines with 16" barrels, fitted with Surefire M500AB weaponlights.
Blaser 93 Sniper Rifle
One of the Pittsburg Police SWAT snipers named Quincy (Michael K. Williams) can be seen using a Blaser 93 sniper rifle with a custom muzzle brake and folding bipod. He gets to fire it once in the last episode, killing one of the thugs brought in as backup who is holding Cpt. Cali's wife hostage at the start of the last shootout.
Remington Model 700PSS
Some of the Pittsburg Police SWAT snipers outside the bank can be seen using Remington Model 700PSS sniper rifles fitted with folding bipods.
Ruger All-Weather Mark II Model 77 Rifle
In one episode, a hitman hired by Alan Beck (Tobin Bell) can be seen assembling a suppressed Ruger All-Weather Mark II Model 77 sniper rifle that he had been carrying in a suitcase. He fires it on one of the robbers who turns out to be Rocko disguised as "Mr. Wolf", hitting him in the ear before other members of Mendez's platoon operating outside the bank can kill the sniper.
Norinco Type 56-1
The robber "Mr. Mouse" (Leo Fitzpatrick) can be seen carrying a Norinco Type 56-1 (Chinese AKS-47/AKMS clone) with an AKM-style slant compensator as his weapon of choice (it is doubtful his gun was brought back from Iraq as mentioned previously, because all of the robbers use civilian "assault weapon" clones). "Mr. Wolf" can also be seen holding it with the magazine removed soon after "Mr. Mouse" accidentally shoots one of the hostages with it. Rocko later gets ahold of it when some of the hostages make an ill-fated bid to overpower their captors. "Mr. Pig" later uses it briefly after "Mr. Mouse" becomes overcome with delusion due to infection of a gunshot wound he sustained during the first shootout when the robbers make an attempted escape. One of the men brought in as backup during the final shootout can also be seen with the same Type 56-1 before being taken out by SWAT.
Walther PPK
One of the hostages, Leroy Barnes (Ryan Sands), can be seen hiding a stainless steel Walther PPK in a potted plant in the bank. He later recovers it and holds it on "Mr. Rabbit" when the hostages make an ill-fated bid to overpower their captors, forcing him to drop his weapon, then pistol-whipping him with the pistol. He then loses it when the attempt fails, "Mr. Rabbit" taking it from him.
Kimel AP-9
The robbers' getaway driver, Deke Quinlan, (Steve Cirbus) can be seen using a two-tone Kimel AP-9 during the first shootout, and can be seen with it on the bed of his apartment while watching the standoff on television. He has it again during the final shootout, last seen with it after being killed by Cpt. Cali.
Desert Eagle
When Deke Quinlan and other members of Mendez's platoon are forming a plan to get the robbers out of the bank from a nearby building, a Desert Eagle can be seen on the table as they're talking.
Steyr AUG
In the final episode, Mr. Wolf can be seen with a Steyr AUG, loading it while riding with Cpt. Cali to the site of the final shootout wherein he runs out of ammo and abandons the weapon, but not before wounding the SWAT commander, Lt. Connie Reubens (Michael Hyatt) with a shot to the shoulder from the rifle.
Beretta 92FS
During the final shootout, Cpt. Cali gets ahold of a Beretta 92FS, having lost his revolver when he was taken with the robbers. He uses it in a shootout with Deke Quinlan, killing him with it and rescuing his wife who was being held hostage, and then in the final faceoff with Mr. Wolf, fatally wounding him with a shot to the chest from the Beretta.
Heckler & Koch USC
During the final shootout, Mr. Cat can be seen using a Heckler & Koch USC in place of his Micro Uzi. He uses it to try to provide cover fire so Wolf can escape, but is ultimately gunned down by the police.
Daewoo K1A
The only robber to survive the final shootout, "Mr. Pig" can be seen with a semi-automatic civilian carbine version of the Daewoo K1A1 in place of the MAC-11 he carried before, discarding it when he boards a passing train, making him the only one of the robbers to escape.
Browning Hi-Power
When approaching the ambulance used by the robbers to escape the bank, a Pittsburg P.D. officer can be seen with a Browning Hi-Power at the ready, one of the few police personnel besides Cpt. Cali to use a handgun other than a Glock.
Jericho 941
After leaving the bank, "Mr. Wolf" procures a stainless steel Jericho 941, using it as a backup to the Steyr AUG in the final shootout, and the ensuing faceoff with Cpt. Cali, using it to force Cali to fatally shoot him, calling Cali's act "a righteous kill". (this is a reference to the fact that both John Leguizamo, who plays Wolf, and Donnie Wahlberg, who plays Cali, were partnered as detectives in the Al Pacino/Robert De Niro film Righteous Kill)
- But the Kill point was released in 2007 and Righteous Kill was released in 2008, so how is one referencing the one that came later?
- I'm guessing that John Leguizamo and Donnie Wahlberg had just found out they had been cast together in "Righteous Kill" at the time when this episode of the show was filmed, even if "Righteous Kill" hadn't been filmed/released yet. But it would be a ridiculous coincidence if this wasn't a reference to that movie. -MT2008
Smith & Wesson Model 5906
During the final shootout, "Mr. Cat" can be seen with a Smith & Wesson 5906 with ambidextrous safety selector as backup to his H&K USC.
