Die Hard 2 (1990)














Beretta M92FS

Once again John McClane's (Bruce Willis) weapon of choice is the Beretta M92FS. The Airport Police, along with Police Chief Lorenzo (Dennis Franz) carry M92FS Pistols as well. Major Grant (John Amos) carries one as well, along with the rest of the army team.

Glock 17

Although it is ID'ed as a Glock 7, there is no such model, it is actually a Glock 17. These are the sidearms of the Terrorists. Another misconception is that the weapon is undetectable to the X-Ray machines at the airport, while in reality, Glock never produced such a handgun. Nor could they, even if they made the interior parts from ceramics or polymers, you are left with the problem of ammunition.

M1911A1

General Ramon Esperanza (Franco Nero) steals an M1911A1 off one of the crewmembers on the plane that's transporting him, and he also uses it to kill the plane's two pilots up to his confrontation with Detective John McClane (Bruce Willis).

Heckler & Koch MP5A3

Some of the terrorists are armed with Heckler & Koch MP5A3 submachine guns. John McClane (Bruce Willis) also commandeers one of these machine guns while it's full of blanks, and later uses it to fire several blanks at Captain Carmine Lorenzo (Dennis Franz) to prove the firefight between the terrorists and the Army Team was a set up.

In attempt to kill John McClane (Bruce Willis) after securing General Ramon Esperanza (Franco Nero), Colonel Stuart (William Sadler) and his men throw M26 hand grenades into the cockpit of the plane McClane is in, but luckily for McClane, he manages to escape the cockpit using the pilot's ejector seat before the grenades detonate.
