The Boondock Saints: Difference between revisions
Rocco ([[David Della Rocco]]) carries a snub nosed [[Colt Python]] with a stainless finish and most notably uses it to kill the three men in the diner. Some people are inclined to believe Rocco uses a Colt Diamondback instead of a Python because Det. Greenley ([[Bob Marley]]) claims they recovered .38 slugs at the crime scene. One should note that a .357 Magnum and a .38 Special round are dimensionally exact in diameter (but not length), so the bullet head would be .357 regardless of which round was used.

Connor (Sean Patrick Flanery) and Murphy (Norman Reedus) McManus use pairs of suppressed Beretta 92FS pistols when dispatching various criminals in the film. They also give Rocco (David Della Rocco) a pair of 92FS' when they recruit him to their team.
Due to a continuity error, the MacManus brothers' Beretta 92FS pistols become Brazilian-made Taurus PT92AFs in several scenes. They are distinguished by their frame mounted slide stop safety instead of the slide mounted decocking safety found on the Beretta 92FS.
The assassin (Markus Parilo) also uses a pair of stainless sound suppressed PT92AFS' to kill the family in the flashback as Rocco explains why they should kill him. Il Duce (Billy Connolly) also uses a PT92AFS when facing off with the brothers and Rocco outside the house.
While summing up the shootout in front of the house, Agent Paul Smecker (Willem Dafoe) fires his Glock 26 pistol into the air, which is something a real FBI Agent would never do. Although, admittedly, Smecker isn't what someone would call "all there". Plus this might just be in his head, rather than actually taking place. (This seems likely since none of the cops look nearly startled enough to have witnessed an FBI agent firing his gun into the air in the middle of a suburb.)
If you listen closely you can hear in the background an unintentional discharge called in over a police radio.
Ivan Checkov (Scott Griffith) carries a custom Desert Eagle Mark VII. The weapon appears to be built up from both Chrome and Blued finish models, with some features gold plated, and a gold hammer and sickle inscribed below the bore, with a red Soviet star on top of the slide. Agent Paul Smecker (Willem Dafoe) refers to the bullets found at the scene as being ".50 caliber", yet both guns used are actually .44 Magnum.

IMI Desert Eagle Mark XIX
The other of the two Russian mobsters carries a Desert Eagle Mark XIX which, like his partner Ivan Checkov's (Scott Griffith's) gun, is a two-tone model. Unlike Checkov's gun, however, his Desert Eagle lacks either gold-plated controls or the hammer and sickle markings on the slide/barrel.

Interestingly enough, he does not keep the P-14 in "Condition One" while holstered, which would greatly slow his readiness to fire the weapon. (Also note that the entire firefight supposedly took place in seconds, so having the hammer down would have slowed his draw significantly.)Error creating thumbnail: File missingIl Duce wielding a Para-Ordnance P-14 in his right hand.
Il Duce (Billy Connolly) uses a Smith & Wesson 5906 as one of his six guns during the shootout outside the house. A thug during the poker game is also seen using one.
A Beretta 92FS Inox with a custom muzzle brake is seen on a wall in the dealer's armory. The Beretta in this scene was originally customized for the TV series Once A Thief, where it was carried by Nicholas Lea as his sidearm.
Agent Paul Smecker (Willem Dafoe) uses a Walther P5 Compact fitted with a suppressor while dressed in drag to kill men in Papa Joe Yakavetta's (Carlo Rota) house in an attempt to save the brothers. It features gold plated parts and is the same gun used by Claire Danes used in Romeo + Juliet (albeit minus the ivory grips from that film); it was also used in the same configuration in the final episode of the TV series Once A Thief.
Papa Joe Yakavetta's (Carlo Rota) henchmen are seen with Custom M1911A1 pistols in their shoulder holsters. Both of the brothers are seen drawing them on Il Duce when he confronts them in the house. Before the confrontation at Yakavetta's house, one of these same 1911s is also seen briefly in the hands of one of the Russian thugs who is killed during the brothers' first mission at the hotel.
Several Glock 17s are seen in the dealer's armory and several thugs use them in the film. They are also the sidearms of the Boston City Police Department.
Rocco (David Della Rocco) carries a snub nosed Colt Python with a stainless finish and most notably uses it to kill the three men in the diner. Some people are inclined to believe Rocco uses a Colt Diamondback instead of a Python because Det. Greenley (Bob Marley) claims they recovered .38 slugs at the crime scene. One should note that a .357 Magnum and a .38 Special round are dimensionally exact in diameter (but not length), so the bullet head would be .357 regardless of which round was used.

Papa Joe Yakavetta (Carlo Rota) also uses a Colt Python, his with a blued finish, a 6" barrel, and rubber grips, later in the film. Some people claim it is a Colt Anaconda due to its seemingly large size, yet the Anaconda was never released in a blue finish, only stainless steel.
Il Duce (Billy Connolly) wields a Smith & Wesson Model 629 Snub as one of his six guns during the shootout outside the house. While originally thought to be a Model 66 revolver, the muzzle diameter of the gun is clearly larger than the 686 Snub in his right hand, ruling out the gun being a .357 Magnum.
Il Duce (Billy Connolly) wields a Smith & Wesson Model 686 with a 3" barrel as one of his six guns during the shootout outside the house. Chappy (Kevin Chapman), a thug in Papa Joe Yakavetta's house is also seen using one.
Det. Greenly (Bob Marley) has what appears to be a Smith & Wesson Model 19 Snub Nose with aftermarket grips in his shoulder holster, which isn't seen clearly in the widescreen version of the film, so a full screen shot is used.
Il Duce (Billy Connolly) uses a Franchi PA3/215 with the stock removed during the final scene in the courthouse when he and the brothers execute Papa Joe Yakavetta (Carlo Rota).
As the prison guards escort Il Duce (Billy Connolly) out of prison for his parole, a few of the guards are armed with what appear to be High Standard Flite King shotguns.
An M16A1 rifle fitted with an M203 grenade launcher is seen in the armory. According to a post on Movie Armaments Group's (MAG's) Instagram account, the weapon is actually a Harrington and Richardson-manufactured M16A1 with an AAI XM203 grenade launcher, an early prototype version of the M203.
