The following weapons were used in the film The Hunt for Red October:
M1911A1
The M1911A1 pistol appears several times towards the end of the film; first in the hands of Commander Bart Mancuso (Scott Glenn) and Sonar Technician 2nd Class Ronald "Jonsey" Jones (Courtney Vance). Cmdr. Mancuso later gives his M1911A1 to the C.O. of the Red October, Captain 1st Class Marko Ramius (Sean Connery) to defend himself with, and issues one to Dr. Jack Ryan (Alec Baldwin) as well, Ryan using it to kill a GRU sleeper agent attempting to sabotage Ramius' plans to defect to the United States with the Red October. It is interesting to note that although the M1911A1 Mancuso gives Ryan is in the classic leather holster Mancuso's is in the M12 Universal Military holster which was not available at the time the movie was set. Also, in the Tom Clancy book this is based, Ryan uses a Browning Hi Power.
- None of these are genuine M1911A1s. In several of these screencaps (the last in particular), you can see that the bores of the pistols are too small to be .45 ACP. They are most likely Colt Series 70s in 9mm, a common 1911 substitute in movies. -MT2008
Makarov PM
The Makarov PM pistol appears in the film being wielded by Cook's Assistant Igor Loginov (Tomas Arana) who is in fact a GRU sleeper agent planted aboard the Red October, ambushing the protagonists while they're attempting to evade the Konovalov, his attack fatally wounding Cpt. 2nd Rank Vasily Borodin (Sam Neill) and also wounding Captain 1st Class Marko Ramius (Sean Connery) when he and Ryan pursue him.
Remington 870
During the battle with the Konovalov, sailors aboard the American frigate Reuben James can be seen holding Remington 870 shotguns while guarding the rescued crew of the Red October.
M14 Rifle
Near the end of the film, an M14 rifle can be seen very briefly in the hands of a U.S. Navy sailor onboard the American frigate Reuben James when the Konovalov appears.
Mossberg 500
A U.S. military guard at the Patuxent River Navy Shipyard is seen with a Mossberg 500 shotgun slung over his shoulder.
Norinco Type 56
A Soviet Naval Infantryman in the Red October's conn can be seen armed with a Norinco Type 56 rifle (note the hooded front sight) standing in for a Russian AK-47 rifle.
