Heat (1995)

Heat is the 1995 crime drama directed by Michael Mann and stars Al Pacino as a relentless LAPD detective who is determined to take down a high end robbery crew led by a master criminal (Robert De Niro). Notable for its detailed depiction of the techniques used by both law enforcement and criminal elements, the film was first made as the 1989 television movie L.A. Takedown. Heat also was reported to have been viewed repeatedly by the robbery duo involved in the infamous North Hollywood shootout (depicted in the film 44 Minutes: The North Hollywood Shootout).

The following guns were used in the film Heat:


Handguns

Colt M1991A1 Series 80 Officers ACP

Lt. Vincent Hanna (Al Pacino) opens the film with an ivory gripped Colt M1991A1 Series 80 Colt Officers ACP model that he carries on his waist in a cross draw holster.

SIG-Sauer P220

After dumping his H&K USP after the drive-in theater shootout, Neil McCauley (Robert De Niro) replaces his USP with a SIG-Sauer P220 in .45 ACP in several scenes. In the script it is also mentioned that he holds a .45 caliber pistol.

Heckler & Koch USP-45

Neil McCauley (Robert De Niro) can be seen carrying a Heckler & Koch USP-45 chambered in .45 ACP (noted by longer grip and barrel) in the early scenes of the film. Note the checkered back of the grip and the shape of the external thumb safety and slide release, all uncommon to a SIG P220. It is usually not seen clearly during the film, but the shape of the slide can easily be discerned during the shootout at the drive-in (when McCauley fires the gun through the window of his sedan at the shooter with the Steyr TMP). Neil then dumps his USP 45 for the Sig P220, most likely to get rid of the evidence, since it was used during the drive-in theater shootout.

Sergeant Drucker (Mykelti Williamson) appears to carry the exact same Mossberg 590 in the firefight outside the bank heist. Lt.

Rifles & Carbines

FN FNC-80

Lt. Vincent Hanna (Al Pacino) pulls out an FN FNC-80 assault rifle outside the bank heist on Flower Street. Michael Cheritto (Tom Sizemore) receives a 5.56mm present between the eyes from Hanna's FN FNC-80. According to the on set armorer, Hanna's rifle was a Select Fire FNC-80 assault rifle that was chopped down by the armorer to a Para length barrel and an M16 style birdcage was attached. The FNC-80 was imported into the U.S. as a full auto weapon and as a Semiautomatic Sporter rifle named the FNC 223 Sporter. Despite being a full auto weapon, the director Michael Mann instructed Al Pacino to fire only Semi auto, being that the LAPD lieutenant would be concerned for stray rounds hitting bystanders.

Colt Model 733

During the armored car robbery, Chris Shiherlis (Val Kilmer) uses a Colt Model 733 carbine as his weapon of choice. During the bank robbery both Neil McCauley (Robert De Niro) and Chris Shiherlis (Val Kilmer) carry short barreled Colt M733 carbines. They are ultra-compact versions of the M16 rifle family with 11.5-inch barrels, being smaller and shorter than the M16A2 Rifle (20-inch) and M4 Carbine (14.5-inch). The lighter encumbrance comes at a trade off of reduced range and accuracy, which is appropriate since the Model 733 can be fired from inside the vehicle, the robbers burdened by loads of cash, and because the firefight takes place at close to medium distances. The compactness also makes it easier to conceal the weapon, which comes in handy when enetering the bank. The M733s have full automatic and semi-auto fire modes, while retaining the penetration of the 5.56mm round of its big brothers, which is particularly deadly as they are capable of wounding officers and bystanders even through objects normally considered safe cover. They handle similarly to submachine guns, however they are more accurate and much more powerful. However, due to the weapon's compact and short barrel, 5.56 NATO rounds fired from this weapon lose a significant amount of velocity found in longer barreled weapons. With slower velocities, rounds from from this weapon do not "fragment", a secondary wounding mechanism, but still provide greater punch that typical submachine gun rounds. This is a very professional choice of a primary weapon for that particular job, time and environment.

Not surprisingly, Shiherlis uses the M733s to great effect, killing Bosko (Ted Levine), a member of Hanna's detectives, in a brief exchange of fire. After the getaway ride is disabled, Shiherlis sprays the police barricade with dozens of rounds, shooting up the LAPD patrol cars and bringing down several officers. Allegedly, footage of him expertly reloading his rifle during this sequence has been shown to American Special Forces trainees, with the message from their instructor, "This is how I want you to reload." McCauley also uses an M733 to shoot a pursuing patrolman while carjacking a Ford Taurus Wagon to escape.

IMI Galil ARM (5.56mm)

Michael Cheritto (Tom Sizemore), brings an Israeli assault rifle (based on the Finnish Rk 62) known as an IMI Galil ARM with a folding stock to the bank heist (While inside the bank, the stock appears to have been removed. The stock appears folded, however, when he enters the car, as a continuity error.) He gets separated from the rest of the crew during the gun battle but managed to wound one of Hanna's detectives by a transit bus. Oddly enough, Mann refers to the weapon as a 7.62mm in his audio commentary.

M16A1 (with M16A2 handguards)

Several M16A1 assault rifles feature prominently in the film, fitted with M16A2-style handguards. They are wielded by various L.A.P.D. officers, including Detective Casals (Wes Studi), Detective Bosko (Ted Levine) and Detective Schwartz (Jerry Trimble). Casals uses one to assist in disabling McCauley's getaway vehicle (a Lincoln Town Car) and wound Chris Shiherlis (Val Kilmer) during the gun battle resulting from the bank heist. According to the on set armorer, the director wanted the actors to fire semi-auto only. The reason given was that the police would be less interested in 'suppressing fire' and more interested in controlled shots given the proximity of so many innocent bystanders.

During the armored car heist, McCauley (Robert De Niro) carries a Colt Model 654 carbine, a 14.5" barreled predecessor to the M4, with M16A1-style lightweight barrel and sights. Based on configuration it may be a 654 upper on a GAU-5A receiver (or possibly even an SP1 receiver with a drop-in autosear to allow it fire fully-automatic).
