Mission: Impossible II is the second installment in the Mission: Impossible franchise. The 2000 action sequel was directed by John Woo (Face/Off) and once again stars Tom Cruise as IMF Agent Ethan Hunt, who this time travels to Australia to locate a deadly bioweapon before it's sold off by a rogue IMF agent.
The following guns were used in the movie Mission:Impossible II:
Beretta 92FS Brigadier
One of the main firearms used by IMF Agent Ethan Hunt (Tom Cruise) in the film is a Beretta 92FS Brigadier. He uses it along with a Beretta Centurion, often together at once. Hunt carries the Brigadier in a shoulder holster. Throughout the final chase, Hunt does several clean magazine releases during his handling of these pistols, one while moving without looking down or fumbling.
Beretta 92FS Centurion
Along with the Brigadier, Hunt also carries a Beretta 92FS Centurion. He carries this handgun in a 7 o'clock position holster (either belt or IWB) allowing for a weak-side draw (permitting for a drawn pistol in each hand).
Beretta 92FS Inox
Luther (Ving Rhames) is seen with a Beretta 92FS Inox after the surveillance van is blown up by an explosive device.
Heckler & Koch USP Compact
A USP Compact is seen dropped in the sand when Ethan and Ambrose jump from their motorcycles to engage in hand to hand combat.
Vektor CP1
Hugh Stamp (Richard Roxburgh) draws and runs with a Vektor CP1 pistol before his final fight. The Vector is an interesting choice for Stamp, since the character appears to have a South African security background, and Vektor as a company is apparently a small-arms division of DENEL Corporation, a group with ties to the South African military and security apparatus. some of these pistols sold in the U.S. are apparently unsafe due to a design flaw, and should never be loaded due to the risk of accidental discharge.
Sphinx AT 2000
Sean Ambrose (Dougray Scott) carries a Sphinx AT 2000 pistol in "duotone" finish as his main sidearm. This weapon is chambered for 9x19mm (as are many of the pistols in the movie).
Steyr GB
One of Ambrose's men, Ulrich (Dominic Purcell), fires a Steyr GB at Hunt during the final chase.
Glock 17
Another of Ambrose's men fires a Glock 17 at the helicopter carrying Luther (Ving Rhames).
Heckler & Koch MP5A2
Many of the BioCyte Security guards and some of Sean Ambrose's (Dougray Scott) men, are armed with Heckler & Koch MP5A2's.
Mossberg 590A1 SBS
During the shootout at BioCyte facility, one of Ambrose's men is armed with a Mossberg 590A1 SBS shotgun.
SA Vz.61 Skorpion
One of Ambrose's men fires a SA Vz.61 Skorpion at Hunt during the final chase.
Heckler & Koch MP5K-PDW
During the final chase, one of the Ambrose's men uses an MP5K-PDW.
Colt 9mm Submachine Gun
Luther (Ving Rhames) fires a Colt 9mm Submachine Gun fitted with a C-More sight mounted in front of the carrying handle and a M16/AR15 brass catcher from the helicopter during the final chase.
Defense Technologies 37mm Gas Gun
After he's shot at, Luther puts down his Colt and picks up a Defense Technologies 37mm Gas Gun to use against Ambrose's men. It appears that the gas gun has an M16 shell built around it and is fitted with a C-More sight and is apparently able to fire 40mm grenades.
M26 hand grenade
In his fight with Stamp, Ethan Hunt (Tom Cruise) tosses an M26 hand grenade through Stamps's legs, distracting him and allowing Ethan to defeat him until the grenade's explosion knocked out Stamp.
Trivia: Could it be possible that the guns used by Ambrose's men were smuggled or made by hand?, since Australia has very strict gun laws ever since the Port Arthur massacre. And it would very difficult and illegal to buy or own a fully automatic weapon if you live in Sydney.
