The following guns were used in the movie Léon (The Professional)
Beretta 92
Léon's (Jean Reno) signature pistols are Beretta 92F models with compensators and suppressors. A compensator reduces rising of the barrel during rapid fire by redirecting propellant gases. We briefly see Mathilda (Natalie Portman) assembling Léon's (Jean Reno) Berettas although we never see her take a shot. This combination is nonsensical because a suppressor is supposed to avoid the gases to escape from a shot and a compensator lets gases out which contradicts the function of a suppressor.
One of them appears to be a two-tone, notably at the end fight.
Mini Uzi
The Fatman (Frank Senger) packs a pair of Mini Uzis which he empties quite ineffectively. One of his bodyguards is also armed with a Mini Uzi.
Beretta M93R
During Léon's (Jean Reno) opening hit a pair of the Fatman's bodyguards are armed with Beretta M93R machine pistols.
Ithaca 37
Norman Stansfield (Gary Oldman) uses an Ithaca 37 to murder Mathilda's family. It has been outfitted with a tactical flashlight placed under the barrel and a six shot spare shell holder mounted on the receiver.
AP-9
During the attack on Mathilda's (Natalie Portman) family's apartment one of Stansfield's (Gary Oldman) men is armed with an Kimel Ap-9 machine pistol which he uses to kill Mathilda's (Natalie Portman) little brother.
Remington 870 Slug Gun
Mathilda's father (Michael Badalucco) pulls a Remington 870 Slug Gun 12 gauge shotgun on Stansfield (Gary Oldman) and shoots him in the shoulder during the attack on his apartment.
Smith & Wesson Model 586
Léon (Jean Reno) packs a Smith & Wesson Model 586 revolver in several scenes.
Ruger SP101
Léon's (Jean Reno) case is packed with a Ruger SP101 revolver, and a Springfield M1911-A2 SASS pistol.
Smith & Wesson 629 44 Mag Revolver
Norman Stansfield (Gary Oldman) keeps a Smith & Wesson 629 44 Mag revolver that has a 3 inch barrel and unfluted cylinder as his duty sidearm.
M4 Spectre
Seen in Leon's case but not used or even handled by Leon -- but it is used by the drug dealer in the Ring Trick scene of the Special Edition.
Springfield 1911A1 (Mathilda's Pistol)
Mathilda's (Natalie Portman) paintball pistol is a Springfield 1911A1.
Springfield M1911-A2 SASS
Léon's (Jean Reno) case is packed with a Ruger SP101 revolver, a Beretta Inox, and a Springfield M1911-A2 SASS pistol.
SGW Multimatch AR-15 (Tony's "Freezer" Rifle)
Leon had requested a rifle from Tony (Danny Aiello) to train Mathilda on her long range sniping exercise. Tony had one of his workers go into the freezer and pull out this beauty!
Mathilda (Natalie Portman) uses a simunition firing rifle in her practice hit on the jogging politician in the park. Simunition is a trademark for training ammunition produced by General Dynamics - Ordnance and Tactical Systems Canada Inc. of Québec, Canada. Simunition encompasses many types of training rounds, the best-known being the FX Marking Cartridge, or paintball round.
Simunition rounds are designed to be fired through police and military service weapons. Most Simunition cartridges require slight modification to the weapon to ensure that normal service rounds cannot be fired during training and to simulate full recoil with reduced-pressure/reduced-velocity rounds for more realistic training. The prop itself is a heavily modified AR-15 and it's very unlikely it actually fired the simunition. Simunition is used only for CQB training, as there is no way any paint round could reach the velocity to hit a target at that distance.
The rifle is an old model SGW Multimatch before SGW turned into what is now known as Olympic Arms. With a 16" medium heavy weight barrel, shaved gas block, carbine length free floating aluminum handguard tube, and a Bell & Carlson AR15 Thumbhole stock. It has blued 20 round magazines (the kind available in the early 1990s), a Harris Bipod, and a dummy short 'suppressor' for the end of the threaded barrel. The scope is a burris with a 40mm obj, and sits on Weaver's tall see-through rings.
Heckler & Koch HK33A3
The HK33A3 is used by several members of the SWAT team that Stansfield (Gary Oldman)sends to Léon's(Jean Reno)apartment.
SIG SG543
Two members of the SWAT team that attack Léon's apartment are equipped with SIG SG543 carbines.
SIG SG540
The SWAT officer who enters Léon's apartment after the first team is eliminated carries a SIG SG540 rifle.
Ruger Mini-14
The Ruger Mini-14 is seen in the hands of NYPD ESU officers who arrive at Léon's apartment during the final shootout.
SIG-Sauer P228
A SIG-Sauer P228 is used by one of the corrupt DEA agents Benny (Keith A. Glascoe) as his duty weapon. It has some sort of laser aiming module mounted under the barrel.
Trivia Note: The actor (Keith A. Glascoe) who played Benny was also a real life NYC Firefighter. He died rescuing people from the South Tower of the World Trade Center on Sept. 11th, 2001.
IMI Galil ARM
One of the SWAT officers in the first team that enters Léon's apartment is seen armed with a IMI Galil ARM
Armi-Jaeger AP15 w/ False Grenade Launcher
Seen in the hands of a few SWAT members after the big fight. This could presumably be the same fake grenade launcher in Besson's Nikita. -Guncrazy93
AA-52 machine gun
Used by the SWAT team to launch a grenade into Léon's apartment towards the end of the film.
