Revision as of 16:51, 25 May 2009
The following guns were used in the film The Jackal:
Browning M2HB (mocked up as KPV heavy machine gun)
The Jackal (Bruce Willis) buys a heavy machine gun from his contacts via online called 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 ~600RPM so how they got away saying it fired 1400RPM is unknown. The rounds Jackal uses are Depleted Uranium rounds, which he claims he uses for better "sprawl" on impact, even though in reality they are used because they are heavy i.e. more accurate. He notabley uses it twice in the film, once to kill Ian Lamont (Jack Black), the man who built the automated mount for him, and again to try to assassinate The First Lady (Tess Harper). The mocked up weapon was supplied by Stembridge Gun Rentals.
A standard non-mocked up Browning M2HB is seen mounted on a humvee in a military base.
Most of above information is fake ! It's not a modified browning M2HB. (sorry it's not an american stuff). The name in the movie it's not real in 100% (it's a production codename from few years for this gun).
In fact this gun IS POLISH (based on russian concept) ! It's a one part of 4 anti-aircraft pack ZSU-23-4 (http://pl.wikipedia.org/wiki/ZSU-23-4).
The caliber and the muzzle velocity is also fake. This data was taken from KM KPV (Krupnokalibernyj Pulemet Vladimirova) 14.5x114mm (from 1949 is KPVT)with electromecanical trigger mechanism so the Jackal could control them remotely "by wire". (like http://81.210.9.116/~apacz/smf/index.php?topic=6423.0) The caliber also could be modified from standard 23mm (ZSU-23-4) to 14,5mm.
It could be usefull to compare the size of ammunition vs. bruce willis fingers to find out what caliber it is in fact.
SIG-Sauer P228
SIG-Sauer P228 pistols are used by FBI Agents T. I. Witherspoon (J.K. Simmons) and McMurphy (Richard Lineback) in the film. Declan Mulqueen (Richard Gere) uses one at the end of the film when facing The Jackal (Bruce Willis), as does Isabella Zanconia (Mathilda May) when she saves Declan.
SIG-Sauer P229
FBI Deputy Director Carter Preston (Sidney Poitier) uses a SIG-Sauer P229 as his sidearm in the film.
Heckler & Koch HK94SD
The Jackal (Bruce Willis) uses a Heckler & Koch HK94 chopped and converted to resemble a Heckler & Koch MP5A3 fitted with a fake "integral" suppressor to make it an MP5SD3. He uses it to dispatch the FBI agents in Isabella Zanconia's (Mathilda May) house.
Beretta 84FS "Cheetah"
Major Valentina Koslova (Diane Venora) uses a Beretta 84FS "Cheetah" as her sidearm in the film. The Jackal (Bruce Willis) also carries one fitted with a suppressor.
CZ-83
Major Valentina Koslova (Diane Venora) uses a CZ-83 with a rounded trigger guard during the arrest in Moscow, using it to shoot Victor Politovsky (Yuri Stepanov) in the head when he tries to knife her.
Heckler & Koch SR9(TC)
The Special Forces 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. 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.
AKS-74U
The Tactical Weapons team during the bust in Moscow are all armed with AKS-74U assault rifles. Some are also seen during the film's opening credits.
Glock 17
The Jackal (Bruce Willis) uses a Glock 17 at the end of the film, which he aquired along with his police uniform disguise.
WZ.83 Pallad D
A man in Moscow 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.
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.
Heckler & Koch MP5A2
One of the Secret Service Agents is seen using a Heckler & Koch MP5A2 with a slimline forend.
Heckler & Koch MP5K-PDW
One of the Secret Service Agents is seen using a Heckler & Koch MP5K-PDW.
Smith & Wesson 6906
One of the Secret Service Agents is seen using a Smith & Wesson 6906.
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.
M16A2
Members of the Tactical team Declan (Richard Gere) is paired with use M16A2 rifles. The prison guards at Declan's prison use them as well.
- These may be A1s with A2 handguards but some of these shots throw me off. Any help? - Gunmaster45
CAR-15
Some of the FBI SWAT teams use CAR-15 rifles of unknown variation.
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.
Unknown AK Variant
Two disassembled AK variants are seen during the opening credits.
- Input? - Gunmaster45
one looks like an underfolder to me
AKS-74
A side-folding stock AKS-74 rifle is seen during the opening credits.
Makarov PM
An empty Makarov PM is seen lying on the ground during the opening credits. An unknown person is also seen holding one during the credits.
Unknown Pistol
An unknown pistol is seen during the opening credits.
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 assasination. 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.
