Hot Fuzz (2007)
Hot Fuzz is a 2007 comedy directed by Edgar Wright that spoofs the conventions of the buddy cop genre seen in such films as the Lethal Weapon series. Police officer Nicholas Angel (Simon Pegg) is sent from London to the small, English countryside town of Sandford because his extreme dedication to being a London officer consistently upstages his colleagues. When he arrives in Sandford, he uncovers a plot by a small cabal of residents to rid the town of anything and anyone they find disrupts the peace and harmony they strive for.
The following weapons were used in the film Hot Fuzz:
Sergeant Nicholas Angel (Simon Pegg) uses a Taurus PT92AFS as his main sidearm during his assault on the town, sometimes using it akimbo style along with his Jericho 941 "Baby Eagle".
In one of the DVD special features Simon Pegg is shown answering questions at a Q&A. He mistakenly refers to the Taurus as
a Beretta. He does however get the Jericho "Baby Eagle" correct.
A Two Tone (stainless frame, black slide) Jericho 941F "Baby Eagle" is used by Sergeant Nicholas Angel (Simon Pegg) in the supermarket and pub shootouts, akimbo style with his Taurus PT92 AF.
Danny Butterman (Nick Frost) uses a Smith & Wesson 5906 as one of his sidearms, sometimes firing it akimbo with a Charter Arms Snub. He is seen using it during the pub shootout and during the car chase to shoot at Simon Skinner's (Timothy Dalton) car. His father, Inspector Frank Butterman (Jim Broadbent) gets a hold of it in the final scene in the mini-village and threatens his son with it. Danny then retains the weapon while Frank runs off - unwilling to shoot his own father, Danny angrily fires the S&W into the air while lying on his back (spoofing a scene from Point Break).
Danny is seen wielding a snub nose which looks like a Charter Arms Undercover, mainly akimbo style with his Smith & Wesson 5906.

NAA Mini Revolver
Reverend Phillip Shooter (Paul Freeman) uses a pair of NAA Mini-Revolvers mounted on slides in his robes to shoot Angel (Simon Pegg), who is saved by his bullet-proof vest from being fatally wounded.
Inspector Frank Butterman (Jim Broadbent) uses two engraved Colt 1851 Navy revolvers with gold cylinders and ivory grips when he confronts Angel and his officers in the pub. They can also be seen mounted on the wall of his office. Since Frank seems to be a bit of a Western lover, these guns seem to fit him well.
When Danny and Angel watch Point Break, the infamous scene is shown when Johnny Utah (Keanu Reeves) aims his SIG-Sauer P226 pistol at Patrick Swayze's character and fires his gun empty into the air, a scene which is later replicated by Danny and his father.
Early on in the film Sergeant Nicholas Angel (Simon Pegg) fires a round from his Heckler & Koch G36C fitted with a standard G36 carry handle, laser pointer and tactical flashlight during an CO-19 operation.
During the opening scene Sergeant Nicholas Angel (Simon Pegg) fires his G36C into "a crack-head with a Kalashnikov" (Garth Jennings). The type of AK-47 the crack-head was armed with appears to be a Chinese-made, folding stock Norinco Type 56-1 assault rifle.
Sgt. Tony Fisher (Kevin Eldon) uses a Lee-Enfield No.1 Mk III* bolt-action rifle during the Somerfield supermarket shootout. A number of No.1 Mk III* rifles (along with a couple of Lee-Enfield No.4 rifles) were also found in Arthur Webley's (David Bradley) barn earlier in the film.
It is interesting to note that in the director commentary, this rifle is referred to as an M1 Garand by the director.
Annette Roper (Patricia Franklin) tries to snipe Angel with an M14 Rifle fitted with a scope. Luckily for him, she misses every time and is forced to stop when her rule of 1 school student in the shop at a time is broken as Angel herds the children through the door.
At the end of the film, Tom Weaver (Edward Woodward) uses a Blunderbuss Flintlock scatter shot in an attempt to kill Sgt. Angel before Danny Butterman dives in the way.
Joyce Cooper (Billie Whitelaw) uses a World War II-vintage Austrian Steyr-Solothurn S1-100 (or better known as the "MP34" in WWII German service) submachine gun when Nicholas Angel (Simon Pegg) starts to take on Sandford. PC Doris Thatcher (Olivia Colman) uses the same S1-100/MP34 for the rest of the film.
Nicholas Angel's (Simon Pegg) partner, Danny Butterman (Nick Frost) uses a Winchester 1300 Defender provided by Angel during the shootout in the town. The Model 1300 Defender in the movie is fitted with a synthetic stock, tactical flashlight on the fore-grip, and spare 12 Gauge shell holders. Doctor Robin Hatcher (Stuart Wilson) also uses a Defender which he pulls from the trunk of his car. He fires several shots at Angel when he first enters the town and holds both Angel and Danny at gunpoint before Danny blows his foot off.
DC Andy Cartwright (Rafe Spall) uses an Armscor M30R6 to aid Angel and his fellow officers during the assault on the Somerfield grocery store. Andy's shotgun is not a Mossberg 500, as previously stated, as it has a cross bolt safety, is marked Squires Bingham, and lacks a magazine extension.
A Double Barreled Exposed Hammers Shotguns is seen in the hands an old lady who fires it at Angel when he first enters the town, and is subsequently drop-kicked in the face before she can reload. DS Andy Wainright (Paddy Considine) is also seen using this shotgun during the shootout in the Somerfield grocery store.
A Winchester Model 1887 with a large lever loop and sawed-off barrel similar to the one used in Terminator 2: Judgement Day is used by Mr. Treacher (Tim Barlow) when Nicholas Angel (Simon Pegg) first takes on the town of Sandford. Since Winchesters aren't made anymore and are harder to find, this is likely a replica model such as a Chinese Norinco YL1887L shotgun, sawed-off "T2" style (though it seems that the stock is not sawed-off and is hidden by his coat to give the appearence of being sawed-off)
The most unique item in Mr. Webley's barn is an old World War II German contact-type Sea Mine, which is said to be deactivated but Tom Weaver is unlucky enough to prove otherwise when Angel kicks him into it and it blows up the entire police station, killing only him though.
While on duty during the town's festival, Danny begs Angel to try out at the Rifle Range. Angel picks up an Air Rifle, most likely a B2 Deluxe Air Rifle with Monte Carlo Stock, and takes out all six man targets in about two seconds. Anyone who has ever uses one of these air rifles should know that they are a single shot weapon and that it takes at least 5 seconds to break open and cock the spring and load it. Angel must be an uber-shooter in order to accomplish such an impossible task. However, it's possible the film is simply intentionally edited to skip any reloads, as a similar style of jump-cutting is used elsewhere in the film (such as in the brief pursuit of a speeding motorist near the beginning).
Eve Draper (Lucy Punch) uses a stainless steel Beretta 92SB stage prop to "kill" herself when playing Juliet Capulet in the horrendous "Romeo + Juliet" play that was based off Baz Luhrmann's 1996 film of the same name.
