The Jackal is the 1997 action thriller starring Richard Gere as a former IRA sniper who is recruited by the FBI to track down a professional assassin known as "The Jackal" (Bruce Willis), who has been hired by a Russian mobster to eliminate a major American political figure. The film is a loose remake of the 1973 thriller The Day of the Jackal.
The following weapons were used in the film The Jackal:
Major Valentina Koslova (Diane Venora) uses a Makarov PM during the arrest in Moscow, using it to shoot Ghazzi Murrad (Ravil Isyanov) in the head when he tries to knife her.
The Jackal (Bruce Willis) uses a Glock 17 at the end of the film, which he acquired along with his police uniform disguise.
Beretta 92FS
While Declan (Richard Gere) is under watch by the FBI, he tries to find a shaver in one of the desks but also finds a Beretta 92FS, which he doesn't pick up despite the opportunity.
Beretta 92SB
After The Jackal (Bruce Willis) fails to kill the First Lady (Tess Harper), the Secret Service Agents are seen armed mainly with Beretta 92SB pistols, as noted by their rounded trigger guards.
M1911A1
One of the Secret Service Agents is seen using an M1911A1 pistol of unknown make.
Glock 19
Some of the Secret Service Agents are seen using Glock 19s.
Walther PPK
As a last ditch effort to kill Declan (Richard Gere), The Jackal (Bruce Willis) produces a Walther PPK from his coat pocket before being shot again.
Members of the US Marine recon team Declan (Richard Gere) is paired with use M16A2 rifles. The prison guards at Declan's prison use them as well.
CAR-15
Some of the FBI SWAT teams use CAR-15 rifles of unknown variation.
AKS-74U
The Russian MVD SOBR team during the bust in Moscow are all armed with AKS-74U assault rifles. Some are also seen during the film's opening credits.
AKS-74
A side-folding stock AKS-74 rifle is seen during the opening credits.
Look at the curvature of the magazine, it's a 7.62 mag not a 5.45. The forearm also lacks palm swells.
Could be an AKM with a new plastic 7.62x39mm mag. Cause if you take a close look at the end of the barrel it doesn't have the AK-74's flash suppressor/compensator. Also to my knowledge there was newer an AK-74 in 7.62x39mm caliber there is an AK-103, but it is totally black finish (material like on the AK-74M, modernized).
Rifles
Sniper Rifles
Remington 700PSS
The Police Snipers protecting The First Lady (Tess Harper) are seen with Remington 700PSS rifles slung over their backs.
One of the police snipers is also seen using what appears to be a standard Remington 700 when viewed through Declan's scope.
Heckler & Koch SR9(TC)
US Marine sniper Akashi (Daniel Dae Kim) carries a customized Heckler & Koch SR9(TC), which like most Hollywood SR9 rifles is in fact a Heckler & Koch HK91 rifle mocked up as SR9 and fitted with a Swarovski LRS 3 (Laser Rangefinding Scope). He gives the rifle to Declan Mulqueen (Richard Gere), who uses the rifle to shoot the scope off of The Jackal's (Bruce Willis) automated machine gun. Akashi then uses the rifle to shoot the gas tank and ignite the fuel, blowing up the SUV housing the gun.
Launchers
WZ.83 Pallad D
A man in Porvoo uses a WZ.83 Pallad D to fire a less lethal round to stun a man before kidnapping him. In the typical Hollywood fashion, he is knocked off his feet and thrown back when hit, defying the laws of physics.
Heavy Weapons
"Polish ZSU-33 14.5mm" (Browning M2HB mocked up as KPV heavy machine gun)
For his job, The Jackal (Bruce Willis) purchases a heavy machine gun via online contacts. The weapon is identified in the film as a "Polish ZSU-33 14.5mm", which is in reality a Browning M2HB mocked up as a KPV heavy machine gun in 14.5mm. Both guns have a cyclic rate of 600 rounds per minute, but the Polish gun is said to have a rate of 1400RPM. The rounds Jackal uses are Depleted Uranium rounds, which he claims he uses for better "spall" on impact, even though in reality they are used because of their density and ability to penetrate armor. He notably uses it twice in the film, once to kill Ian Lamont (Jack Black), the man who built the automated mount for him, and again in the assassinate attempt. The mocked up weapon was supplied by Stembridge Gun Rentals.
Special
Browning M2HB
A standard non-mocked up Browning M2HB is seen mounted on a humvee in US Marine base.
GE M134 Minigun
While never actually seen in the film, The Jackal (Bruce Willis) is offered a GE M134 Minigun by his contacts while purchasing a weapon on the computer for his assassination. It was the most obvious choice since he requested a weapon with a high cyclic rate, no lower in caliber than 7.62mm. Jackal claims he prefers non-American made weapons, and thus settles for the 14.5mm machine gun.
Credits Weapons
Several weapons (which appears to be from news footage) are seen in the opening credits).
Mosin-Nagant rifle
Bayonet-fixed Mosin-Nagant bolt-action rifles were seen in the hands of Bolshevik revolutionaries in the opening credits of the movie.
Unknown AK Variant
Two disassembled AK variants are seen during the opening credits.
