Revision as of 03:16, 16 August 2009
The following weapons were used in the film Die Hard:
Beretta 92F
The Beretta 92F features prominently in the film as the main weapon of Detective John McClane (Bruce Willis). At one point, McClane's nemesis Hans Gruber (Alan Rickman) gets ahold of it, albeit with no ammo in the magazine which enables McClane to figure out who Hans is, and Karl (Alexander Godunov) gets ahold of it during a fight near the end of the film and shoots McClane in the shoulder with it. Another Beretta can also be seen being used by one of the SWAT members involved in the ill-fated raid on the Nakatomi Building.
Heckler & Koch P7M13
The primary villain of the film, Hans Gruber (Alan Rickman) carries a stainless steel Heckler & Koch P7M13 as his main weapon. The most notable scenes involving it include Gruber threatening and then killing Joseph Tagaki (James Shigeta) and Harry Ellis (Hart Bochner) with it, and then brandishing it at the climax of the film, holding McClane's wife Holly (Bonnie Bedelia) at gunpoint and then falling to his death still holding it. When he first brings out the weapon while threatening Takagi, he is shown removing a matching suppressor from the barrel. Although, it's not a P7M13SD, and there is no threaded barrel to use a suppressor.
Heckler & Koch HK94 (chopped and converted)
Another frequently-seen weapon in the film is the Heckler & Koch HK94s chopped and converted to look like MP5A3s. The Heckler & Koch MP5A3 are often considered the Rolls Royces of submachine guns (they are more than twice the price of an M16 rifle) and are used primarily by Gruber's men (and occasionally Gruber himself). When Gruber gives the order for his two men in the lobby to only wound the SWAT trying to break in, that might have prevented much bloodshed, as the MP5 has a much higher rate of fire and its compact size makes it more maneuverable in CQB compared to the SWAT's M16s.
McClane manages to comandeer one from one of the terrorists, Tony Vreski (Andreas Wisniewski), informing his comrades of this by leaving a note on Tony's corpse saying that "Now I have a machine gun. Ho Ho Ho.". At one point, McClane extends the stock hoping to use it as an anchor so he can descend down the elevator shaft via the sling, though the sling doesn't support his weight for long, soon coming undone and sending him falling into the shaft before he catches himself on the opening of an air vent. He then procures another MP5 from another slain terrorist, using it for the remainder of the film.
Steyr AUG
One of the most unique weapons in the film, as the writers are contrasting the terrorists' exotic European weapons versus the American's, the Steyr AUG assault rifle's bullpup design enables a decent barrel length in a compact design, and it also has an integrated scope. The AUG is used by Karl (Alexander Godunov) during his personal mission to get revenge against McClane after he killed the first terrorist, who happened to be his brother. In a memorable scene of the film, a bloodied and left-for-dead Karl emerges from the rubble of the Nakatomi Building with his AUG in hand, hell-bent on killing McClane, only to be killed by six (actually 5 shots) shots from Sergeant Al Powell (Reginald VelJohnson)'s police revolver. The AUG's futuristic design is significant, since Sergeant Powell is recovering from a traumatic experience where he shot a kid holding a toy raygun on accident.(Note: He wasn't brought out on a gurney, he just walked out.)
M60E3 Machine Gun
Another weapon in the terrorists' arsenal, an M60E3 machine gun is the weapon used by the terrorists to turn Sgt. Powell's police car into "swiss cheese" after McClane throws a dead terrorist out of a window and onto the hood of his car. It is also used to shoot out spotlights during the attempted SWAT raid on the Nakatomi building. Another M60 can be seen being used by the door gunner of the gunship helicopter used by the FBI agents.
M16 Rifle
When the SWAT team makes their ill-fated raid on the Nakatomi building, they can be seen carrying M16 assault rifles. However, the terrorists have monitored their not-so-clandestine movements thanks to the building's closed-circuit camera network, and the SWAT are using "by-the-book" tactics. Furthermore, the SWAT team's M16 rifles despite their power are notably bulky and do not handle easily in CQB. As the terrorists have such an advantage, Gruber only sends two men to deal with the intruders, and a few bursts of fire from their MP5s is enough to cause the SWAT to back down. Not one shot is fired by any of the SWAT officers. Some M16's can be seen with 20-round magazines, while others appear to have 30-round magazines.
M40 sniper rifle
During the rooftop scene near the end of the movie, FBI Special Agent Johnson (Robert Davi) attempts to shoot McClane with an M40 sniper rifle fitted with a night-vision scope, mistaking him for one of the terrorists. Before Johnson can fire the fatal shot, the bombs planted on the roof are detonated, the fireball engulfing his helicopter.
Walther PPK
During the takeover of the Nakatomi Building, Karl can be seen using a silenced Walther PPK to kill the security guard at the front desk and by the elevators. He later has it without the silencer when he hears McClane leave following Takagi's death and goes to investigate.
Hockey Puck Flash Bang
During the takeover of the Nakatomi building, the terrorists use flash-bang grenades shaped like hockey pucks to disorient the guard by the elevators long enough for Karl to kill him. One of these weapons is also used during the gun battle that ensues after McClane and Gruber's first meeting when the terrorists are attempting to pin down McClane by shattering the glass windows surrounding him.
Smith & Wesson Model 15
At the end of the film, McClane finally gets to meet Powell in person and is introducing him to his wife when Karl suddenly emerges from the rubble of the Nakatomi Building intent on killing McClane but six (5) shots from Powell's Smith & Wesson Model 15 finally put him down once and for all, the first shots Powell has fired since accidentally killing a kid sometime in his past.
Recoilless Rifle
When the building is surrounded by the police, Hans has his men set up a recoilless rifle. It's fired twice to take out a SWAT APC.
