The Sentinel is a 2006 thriller starring Michael Douglas as Pete Garrison, a veteran US Secret Service Agent who goes on the run when he's accused of being involved in a plot to assassinate the President. Kiefer Sutherland co-stars as the agent who heads up the task force assigned to find him. The film's cast also includes Eva Longoria and Kim Basinger and was directed by Clark Johnson (S.W.A.T. (2003)).
The following guns were used in the movie The Sentinel
Pistols
Para-Ordnance P13-45 Limited
A Para-Ordnance P13-45 Limited is used by the Assassin (Jasmin Geljo) to shoot Agent Charles Merriweather (Clark Johnson) in front of his house.
Beretta 92FS
The Assassin (Jasmin Geljo) uses a suppressed Beretta 92FS at the Allenwood Mall to shoot Pete Garrison's shadow.
SIG-Sauer P228
SIG-Sauer P228 9mm pistols are used by all the actors portraying US Secret Service agents, including Agents Pete Garrison (Michael Douglas), David Breckinridge (Kiefer Sutherland) and Jill Marin (Eva Longoria). When one of their agents is found dead, Breckinridge notices that the safety on the agent's SIG is still on, meaning that the agent wasn't ready to fire (since Secret Service agents are trained to draw and flick off the safety in one motion). Note: The standard sidearm of the United States Secret Service is the SIG-Sauer P229 chambered for .357 SIG rounds. The Secret Service did use the SIG-Sauer P228 sometime between the late 1980s and early 1990s, after switching from the .357 Smith & Wesson 66-2 revolver. However, since the movie takes place in 2006, the Service had already adopted the .357 SIG P229 by then. As a technical aside, neither the P228 or P229 have an external safety to be disengaged before firing.
Taurus PT92
One of the assassins carries a Taurus PT92 when he is shot by Garrison
Glock 17
Glock 17 pistols can be seen in the hands of an FBI agent as well as in the assassin's apartment. The latter looks like a second generation.
Revolvers
Smith & Wesson Model 686
A Smith & Wesson Model 686 with a 3" barrel and Hogue grips can be seen in the assassin's apartment.
Rifles
M4A1
An M4A1 carbine can be briefly seen in the hands of a Secret Service Counter Assault Team (CAT) Operator in the initial scenes. Note: USSS CAT transitioned from the Colt M4A1 to the Knight's Armament Company SR-16 Carbine in the early 2000s.
Remington 700 PSS
The Remington 700 PSS can be briefly seen in the hands of a Secret Service sniper stationed atop the White House at the film's beginning. Another Remington is held by a Secret Service agent after Garrison's escape, and in the hands of a Secret Service Counter-Sniper on the roof of the building in Toronto.
Sub-machine Guns
H&K MP5A3
H&K MP5A3s with "slimline" handguards and Navy trigger groups can be seen in the hands of a Secret Service agent after Garrison's escape, as well as in the hands of one of the disguised assassins.
H&K MP5K PDW
Secret Service agent Aziz Hassad fires the H&K MP5K PDW during the assassination attempt.
Shotguns
Mossberg 500
A cutdown Mossberg 500 shotgun with heatshield, pistol foregrip is brandished by an FBI agent when Pete Garrison is stopped.
