London Has Fallen: Difference between revisions
London Has Fallen is the 2016 sequel to 2013's Olympus Has Fallen. The sequel follows US Secret Service Agent Mike Banning (Gerard Butler), who is in London with US President Benjamin Asher (Aaron Eckhart) to attend the funeral of the British Prime Minister, and subsequently find themselves trying to survive another terrorist incident. Also returning from the original film are Morgan Freeman, Angela Bassett, Melissa Leo, Radha Mitchell and Robert Forster.
The following weapons were used in the film London Has Fallen:
US Secret Service Agent Mike Banning (Gerard Butler) carries the SIG-Sauer P229R as his primary firearm in the film. The pistol is also seen in the hands of President Benjamin Asher (Aaron Eckhart) and MI6 Agent Jacqueline "Jax" Marshall (Charlotte Riley), in addition to in the armoury in the MI6 safehouse. True to real life, the P229 is the standard issue sidearm of the USSS agents, alongside with the FN Five-seveN. However, unlike the E2 model used in the previous film Olympus Has Fallen, the older railed variant is seen featured in this film. It appears to be chambered in 9mm instead of the correct .357 SIG used by the USSS.
Some Secret Service agents, including Agent Bronson (Andrew Pleavin) are seen carry the SIG-Sauer P226 instead of the standard issue P229. MI6 Agent Pradhan (Nikesh Patel) is also briefly seen armed with a P226 in the safehouse.
True to real life, London Metropolitan Police officers carry the Glock 17 as their sidearms. Terrorists disguised as MPS officers are also seen with them, alongside with Kamran Barkawi (Waleed Zuaiter) and Sultan Mansoor (Mehdi Dehbi). Interestingly, in the prequel Olympus Has Fallen, the Glock also serves as the primary firearm of the terrorists, notably when they invade the White House.
Several terrorists disguised as a Metropolitan Police officers and a US Secret Service agent are briefly seen armed with Heckler & Koch P30's during the attack at St. Pauls Cathedral. MI5 Counter-Intelligence Chief John Lancaster (Patrick Kennedy) has a P30 in his suitcase at the end of the film, which he attempts to grab before being shot.
The Heckler & Koch MP5K is carried by several Metropolitan Police officers and terrorists disguised as them. President Benjamin Asher (Aaron Eckhart) also uses a MP5K during the finale.
Terrorists are seen firing Heckler & Koch G36C rifles from a commandeered London Police Patrol Car while chasing down President Asher and Banning. The weapon also is seen used by Banning in the finale.
Several terrorists disguised as Delta Force operatives are armed with Heckler & Koch HK416 assault rifles. Agent Banning is later given an HK416 by the SAS soldiers he links up with and uses it for the majority of the final assault on the terrorists' stronghold. SAS Lieutenant Will Davies (Bryan Larkin) is also armed with a HK416 with a 14.5-inch barrel.
A disguised terrorist can be seen firing what appears to be a Milkor MGL launcher. Based on the shorter barrel and the white-tipped rim and barrel interior, this launcher is in reality an airsoft replica.
