Actually, Mirelles and the other agents with revolvers could possibly have had four inch Model 13 Smith & Wesson guns in .357 Magnum. FBI agents in those days were issued the Model 13 with a three inch barrel and a round butt frame. This gun was no longer issued after the Miami shootout on which this movie is based. The FBI felt that a more powerful cartridge in an automatic pistol platform would be more suitable in these situations. Subsequently, the 10mm S&W cartridge was introduced in an automatic pistol built to chamber it. Soon after, the .40 Smith & Wesson cartridge was introduced, and has since become the most popular law enforcement cartridge in history. The guns in the film look like a four inch barrel, and the Model 13 looks like a Model 10 and while not factually accurate in barrel length, this gun COULD have been the one used in the film. | Actually, Mirelles and the other agents with revolvers could possibly have had four inch Model 13 Smith & Wesson guns in .357 Magnum.

Revision as of 03:00, 5 October 2009
The following weapons can be seen in this 1988 TV movie, based on a real life shootout that occurred in 1986:
Pistols
Smith and Wesson Model 459
Special Agent Ben Grogan (Ronny Cox) and Special Agent Jerry Dove (Bruce Greenwood) both carry 9mm Smith & Wesson Model 459 pistols as their sidearm. Agent Ron Risner is also armed with a 459.
Beretta 92F
In a continuity error, both Special Agent Jerry Dove (Bruce Greenwood) and Agent Ron Risner are seen with a Beretta 92F in some scenes.
Colt M1911A1
William Matix (Michael Gross) briefly uses a .45 M1911A1 pistol to steal a car by shooting it's owner. The M1911A1 is also used in the film when Platt and Matix break into the pinball machine salesman's home. It is later seen when Matix tells his wife to get out.
Unknown
The man that is shot by Matix with a Colt Python is target practicing with an unknown pistol. It closely resembles the S&W 459, but there is never a close up shot.
Revolvers
Smith and Wesson Model 29
Michael Platt (David Soul) briefly uses a .44 Magnum Smith & Wesson Model 29 during the home invasion scene. After that, the revolver is never seen again.
Smith and Wesson Model 10
Agents who do not carry the Model 459 in this film carry a 4 inch Smith & Wesson Model 10 .38 revolver. Agent Ed Mirelles (Ronald G. Joseph) uses a Model 10 to fatally wound Matix and Platt as they attempt to flee the shootout. In the actual shootout Special Agent Gordon "Gordy" McNeill carried a 2.5 inch version of the .357 Magnum Smith & Wesson Model 19 revolver. The FBI did not issue the Model 19 as a sidearm, but McNeill carried it anyway.
Actually, Mirelles and the other agents with revolvers could possibly have had four inch Model 13 Smith & Wesson guns in .357 Magnum. FBI agents in those days were issued the Model 13 with a three inch barrel and a round butt frame. This gun was no longer issued after the Miami shootout on which this movie is based. The FBI felt that a more powerful cartridge in an automatic pistol platform would be more suitable in these situations. Subsequently, the 10mm S&W cartridge was introduced in an automatic pistol built to chamber it. Soon after, the .40 Smith & Wesson cartridge was introduced, and has since become the most popular law enforcement cartridge in history. The guns in the film look like a four inch barrel, and the Model 13 looks like a Model 10 and while not factually accurate in barrel length, this gun COULD have been the one used in the film.
Smith & Wesson Model 36
John Hanlon (Peter McRobbie) uses the .38 caliber Smith & Wesson Model 36 revolver in the shootout scene, after his .357 revolver was knocked over during a collision with the other pursuit vehicles.
Smith & Wesson Model 686
Michael Platt (David Soul) uses a Smith & Wesson Model 686 to kill a man target shooting with a rifle at the beginning of the film, to steal his gold Monte Carlo. William Matix carries the Smith & Wesson Model 686 in a shoulder holster during the shootout. Michael Platt takes the revolver and attempts to shoot Agent Ed Mirelles with it, missing his head by inches before the gun jams. In the actual shootout a Smith & Wesson Model 586 was used. But it was the Dan Wesson revolver that Platt pulled from Matix's shoulder holster.
Colt Python
William Matix uses a Colt Python in an attempt to kill a man target shooting with a pistol to take his black Monte Carlo. It is never seen again. In the actual shootout a Dan Wesson revolver was used in addition to the Smith & Wesson Model 586.
Shotguns
Smith & Wesson M3000 shotgun
Both Matix and Platt use Smith & Wesson Model 3000 shotguns throughout the film.
Remington 870
Agent Ed Mirelles (Ronald G. Joseph) uses a Remington 870 to shoot Michael Platt in the leg.
Rifles
Ruger AC-556/Mini-14
Michael Platt (David Soul) uses a .223 Ruger AC-556 for most of the film. Platt uses the Ruger AC-556 to kill an armored car guard, and later to kill or injure the FBI agents that attempt to apprehend him. The real Michael Platt used a Mini-14 with a folding stock in the shootout, but it was stainless steel. I still need to read up on it. But I don't remember anything saying it was converted to full auto. He fired I think it was 48 total rounds, so could have been firing in burst. -Predator20 21:28, 4 October 2009 (UTC)
Colt AR15 Sporter-1
William Matix fires a Colt AR15 Sporter-1 with M16A2 handguards when he and Michael Platt are shooting in the woods.
