Under Siege is a 1992 action film which could be summed up as "Die Hard on a battleship." In the film, Navy SEAL turned cook Casey Ryback (Steven Seagal) battles terrorists who have taken over the Iowa-class battleship USS Missouri, actually played throughout by the South Dakota-class battleship USS Alabama; she is referred to by the name of the real ship in this article. The film was directed by Andrew Davis, who would later direct co-star Tommy Lee Jones in The Fugitive. Seagal would return as Ryback in Under Siege 2: Dark Territory.
The following weapons were used in the film Under Siege:
Pistols
M1911
The M1911 is the weapon of choice for Casey Ryback (Steven Seagal). Also seen in the hands of both the terrorists and US Military personnel.
Beretta 92F
Several characters wield the Beretta 92F throughout the film, among them Commander Krill (Gary Busey) and Doumer (Colm Meaney). Ryback fires one as he fights off the terrorists while planting a bomb in the hull of the renegade sub.
Heckler & Koch P7M8
William Stranix (Tommy Lee Jones) uses a Heckler & Koch P7M8 throughout the movie. He holds it high during many scenes, clearly showing the single stack 8 round magazine.
Ruger MkII Pistol
Krill uses a silenced Ruger MkII to shoot Captain Adams (Patrick O'Neal). When Krill is sitting at the desk in the Captain's quarters, the Ruger logo is visible on the grip.
.
SIG-Sauer P226
A SIG-Sauer P226 is seen briefly in the hands of one of the terrorists during the initial assault on the engine room.
Submachine Guns
Cobray SWD M11/9
Both Ryback and Granger (Troy Evans) use Cobray M11/9 submachine guns commandeered from the terrorists.
Heckler & Koch MP5A3
The Heckler & Koch MP5A3 is used by several terrorists as well as Jordan Tate (Erika Eleniak) who carries one fitted with a laser sight. When instructing her how to use it, Ryback (Steven Seagal) inaccurately labels it an "assault rifle" though he does accurately describe the difference between semiautomatic and fully automatic fire modes.
Heckler & Koch HK94
Some of the "MP5"s are full auto conversions of the Heckler & Koch HK94 rifle. One of the terrorists uses a long barreled HK94 with a 'slip over' fake suppressor to fire.
Heckler & Koch MP5K
Ryback takes a suppressed Heckler & Koch MP5K and carries it throughout the film. At the time of the making of the film, it was a common weapon in Steven Seagal movies, the MP5K (not the PDW) was adapted to take a suppressor.
Ingram MAC-10
Terrorists also use MAC-10's most notably when seizing the bridge.
Uzi
The Uzi is carried by several terrorists in the film, and most notably by Doumer (Colm Meaney) as well as Johnson (Duane Davis).
Micro Uzi
Carried by several terrorists throughout the film as well as Ramirez (Raymond Cruz).
Rifles
Colt Commando
A Marine guard holds a Colt Commando-style rifle when he's taken out by terrorists. Since the Marine makes a high fall, the weapon probably is a rubber stunt weapon. Navy SEALs who prepare to assault the Alabama are seen chambering their Colt Commandos as well.
Steyr AUG
During the opening takeover of the Alabama, terrorists are seen rappelling with Steyr AUG's slung behind their backs.
Other
FIM-92A Stinger
The terrorists fire FIM-92A Stinger missiles at the approaching SEAL helicopters.
Rubber guns
During the initial assault many of the terrorists are using obviously rubber weapons. They are cast from the real deal and used in any scene where stunts occur. It is much safer to wave around and hit other actors with rubber guns than the real thing.
Gun Platform - U.S. Battleship
The following are armaments which are seen in the film and are available weaponry on the gun platform Iowa Class Battleship USS Missouri (even though most of the filming took place on the South Dakota Class USS Alabama, permanently docked at Mobile, Alabama). These are listed for the sake of completion, but none of these weapons systems appear in any movie weapons armory, they appear only when a film has cooperation by the U.S. Navy.
Phalanx CIWS
The terrorists commandeer the USS Missouri's Phalanx CIWS (Close In Weapons System) to shoot down an F/A-18 Hornet.
9 16"/50 caliber Mark 7 - United States Naval Guns form the main armament of the Iowa class battleships. They were also seen firing in archival footage of the USS Missouri in action. Dialogue established that Missouri carried 1000 projectiles.
The USS Alabama (BB-60), now a museum, stood in for the Missouri in this film. The Alabama belongs to the older South Dakota class, which were armed also armed with 9 16" guns, but of an older design. These 16"/45 caliber Mark 6 guns were used to destroy the North Korean submarine.
5"/38 caliber gun
These guns formed the secondary armament of the battleship. Originally 20 were carried, but the number was reduced 12 in the Reagan-era modernization. In the film, star shells were used to illuminate the North Korean submarine. The Missouri's stand-in, the Alabama, carried the same guns in a similar Mk 28 mount, but retained all 20 guns.
