Point Break (1991): Difference between revisions
FBI Special Agent Johnny Utah (Keanu Reeves) carries a 9x19mm SIG-Sauer P226 as his FBI-issued sidearm throughout the movie. At the time Point Break was filmed, the P226 and the more compact SIG-Sauer P228 were just coming into service as the new FBI-issue sidearms, after the 10mm Smith & Wesson 1076 proved to be too unwieldy for the Bureau's purposes. In one of the film's most memorable scenes, Utah rolls onto his back and empties his P226 into the air after he is unwilling to shoot Bodhi (Patrick Swayze) and lets him escape.
Bodhi (Patrick Swayze) carries a Freedom Arms Model 83 single-action revolver in .454 Casull as his weapon of choice in the film. At the time this film was released, this was the most powerful production revolver available.

It Would have been possible for Utah to catch Bodhi from the plane with the time alotted. They actually timed it and tried it, with parachutes of course.-DR.GONZO)
Charter Arms Undercover
Agent Angelo Pappas (Gary Busey) carries an older-model 2" Charter Arms Undercover in .38 Special as his sidearm throughout the movie. It is seen most notably in the climax. An unlikely choice for an FBI Agent. I seriously doubt that it was on the "approved carry list".

Also note the correct number of empty chambers throughout this scene.
In both the beginning and final robberies, Bodhi's gang is seen using at least one Mossberg 590 shotgun with an extended tube. Bodhi himself briefly handles this weapon in the climax at the airfield.
The off-duty cop (Anthony Mangano) in the bank carries an older-model Smith & Wesson 6906 with a squared trigger guard. It should be noted the officer hits every robber in sight, and if he hadn't needed to reload may well have thwarted the entire heist!
When Johnny Utah is forced by Bodhi's gang to accompany them on their final bank robbery, Bodhi gives him a sawed-off Ithaca 37 shotgun after ejecting all of the shells from it.
During the FBI's raid on the surfer gang's house, Bunker (Chris Pedersen) wields a 16" Steyr AUG A1 bullpup assault rifle.

Sentinel Arms Striker
A Sentinel Arms Striker rotary shotgun with the folding stock removed is used by War Child (Vincent Klyn) during the raid on the surfer gang's house.
A Desert Eagle Mark VII is used by one of the surfer/heroin dealers during the FBI raid on their house. It appears to be the .44 Magnum version, judging by the bore.
The other FBI agents in the movie, including Alvarez (Julian Reyes), all carry the Beretta 92FS as their sidearms. This is inaccurate, since the FBI has never issued or authorized the Beretta for its agents in real life, and the SIG-Sauer P226 and P228 were the FBI-issue sidearms at the time.
At the end of the movie, at least one of the Australian police officers brandishes a Sterling L2A3 submachine gun, which seems to have its magazine in backwards!
