Frankie carries a [[Serbu Super Shorty]] made from a Maverick Model 88 as his side arm. It can be distinguished from the Mossberg 500 by the lack of safety on top of the receiver.

American Heist is a 2014 crime drama about James (Hayden Christensen), a former criminal, who’s trying to turn his life around as a car mechanic in New Orleans after committing a robbery with his older brother Frankie (Adrien Brody).
When Frankie, who’s covered for his younger brother, is released from prison, he tries to convince James to join him in one last job robbing a local bank with the gang of underworld connections Sugar (Akon) and Ray (Tory Kittles).
The following weapons were used in the film American Heist:
Frankie and NOPD officers are seen using the Glock 17 Gen. 2 with a regular black finish, whereas Ray (Tory Kittles) can be seen using a two-toned Gen. 3 model.
In what seems to be a continuity error, Ray’s above described two-toned Glock 17 appears to be a shorter Glock 19 in the scene where the robbery is prepared.
M4A1 carbines with RIS foregrip are used by both Sugar and Ray. SWAT troopers are probably also seen with this rifle, but the pouring rain on the street does not allow a conclusive identification.
Spoonie (Luis Da Silva Jr.) carries a Colt Sporter I carbine as his side arm during the robbery. It can be easily identified by the slabside receiver and the barrel length.
Several SWAT troopers are using the AKU-94 with M4-style birdcage flash hider and lacking sights, a configuration unlikely to be expected as service weapon anywhere in the USA.
At the start of the robbery, Sugar jumps across a counter. For a few seconds, his M4A1 carbine becomes a prop resembling the L85A2, most probably for reasons of safety.

In the final scene, a NOPD sniper is seen taking position opposite the bank building with what looks very much like a Armalite AR-10SB.
