Handguns
Colt Peacemaker
The Single Action Army Colt Peacemaker was held by a Naval Intelligence spy, Baker (Prentis Hancock) in the opening scene at Philip Calvert (Anthony Hopkins) on board of HMS Nantesville, unbeknownst to the latter that the marksman was already dead. The scene plays accurately as in the novel when the opening chapter (told from Calvert's point of view) gives the Peacemaker a backstory and in-depth description.

Sterling Mk. 4

Rifles
FN SLR
FN rifles are used by the hijackers. At one point in the film, Calvert (Anthony Hopkins) is seen with an FN he has taken from a hijacker.The rifles have the flash hider of an L1A1, but the handguards and front sights as would be found on an FN FAL.
