The following weapons were used in the film The Negotiator:
Warning - Possible Spoilers
SIG-Sauer P226
The SIG-Sauer P226 pistol is the unofficial star of The Negotiator, and is used heavily by many characters in the movie. When Lieutenant Danny Roman (Samuel L. Jackson) is accused of murdering his partner as part of a corruption scandal, he takes the accusing Internal Affairs investigators hostage using a P226 that he acquires from one of them during a scuffle. There are several extreme closeups of the P226 where it is easy to see that, as with all prop SIG-Sauer pistols used in Hollywood, the lock-up on the barrel has been filed down in order to make the gun function with blanks.
Many of the other Chicago police HBT officers throughout the movie also use the P226. The two HBT operators who attempt to breach the building from the air are armed with P226s fitted with Surefire 332R flashlight (early model, marked "Laser Products"), both of which are then confiscated by Danny and used later in the film. Hellman (Nestor Serrano), one of the corrupt officers in the film, also carries a P226 which is then given to Grant Frost (Ron Rifkin), the leader of the conspiracy plot, when he confronts Danny at the end of the film. Beck (David Morse) also used a SIG Sauer P226 to wound Frost when he attempts to kill himself to avoid arrest.
Glock 19
Lieutenant Chris Sabian (Kevin Spacey) carries a Glock 19 as his sidearm throughout the movie.
The masked gunman who kills Danny Roman's partner also uses a Glock 19 (though in a flashback, it is easy to tell that his Glock is actually one of the flashbulb-firing "Non Gun" Glocks; this is necessary because at the range of the shot, blanks would be harmful to the actor).
Beretta 92FS
Danny Roman's sidearm early in the film is a Beretta 92FS, which he is forced to surrender (along with his badge) when he learns that he is suspected of killing his partner and is placed on suspension. Many other Chicago police officers throughout the movie also use the 92FS (including the two who arrest Danny at the scene of his partner's murder).
Valmet M78
Chicago HBT sniper Palermo (Michael Cudlitz) uses a .308 (7.62x51mm NATO) version of the Finnish Valmet M78 semi-automatic rifle. His Valmet is outfitted with a scope and laser sight (which a real-life sniper would never use). He refuses to use this rifle to kill Danny even when he has the chance.
Remington M700
Some of the snipers called to the scene of the hostage situation can be seen aiming Remington M700 sniper rifles at Danny Roman.
Heckler & Koch MP5SD2
Argento (Tim Kelleher), one of the corrupt HBT officers, uses a suppressed Heckler & Koch MP5SD2 submachine gun to kill Inspector Terence Niebaum (J.T. Walsh) during an attempted breach (allegedly by accident). Hellman is also seen using one during the first hostage situation earlier in the film.
Heckler & Koch MP5A2/A3
Most of the HBT and FBI SWAT officers throughout the movie can be seen using Heckler & Koch MP5 submachine guns fitted with Surefire weaponlight forearms, mostly the MP5A2 variant (fixed stock), but also some MP5A3s.
M14
At the funeral of Danny Roman's partner Nathan Roenick (Paul Guilfoyle), the officers who perform the rifle volley use M14 rifles (or possibly semi-automatic M1As).
Winchester Model 1897
Omar (Tom Bower) in the opening standoff is armed with a Winchester M1897. The sawed-off shotgun is taken by Danny Roman (Samuel L. Jackson) when Omar falls on the floor. Danny briefly give it to Nathan (Paul Guilfoyle) to take it away.
Various revolvers
When Danny takes the Internal Affairs investigators hostage in their office, many of the other detectives in the office are armed with a variety of different types of revolvers. Danny forces them to place their weapons on a desk. Among the revolvers seen are various Smith & Wesson models.
