The following guns were used in the film Romeo + Juliet
Para Ordnance P-13 Stainless
This is the sidearm carried by Leonardo DiCaprio as Romeo, later used by Juliet to shoot herself in the head. During the gas station shootout, the pink-haired Montague Boy packs a customized gold-plated version.
.45 double stack commander size with 13 rd magazine
Taurus PT99
Most of the 9mm handguns used in the movie by various characters are Taurus PT99 pistols (a variant of the PT92 with raised, adjustable sights) with a number of modifications to make them look "artsy". In addition, the guns' brand names are particular types of knives and swords, so that the filmmakers did not have to change the original dialog by Shakespeare.
Looks to me it is indeed a pt99. Note, however, that it has a much longer barrel and slide. Any notes on that??
Beretta 92FS
Modified Beretta Model 92FS pistols were used by the characters Abra and Petruchio.
MAG-7 shotgun
The "Longsword" which Ted Montague reaches for is actually a South African-manufactured Techno Arms MAG-7 shotgun (it is difficult to tell from the scene in the movie whether it is the original MAG-7 or the civilian MAG-7M1 sold in the United States, which has a fixed wooden stock and a longer barrel).
Walther P-5
Juliet (Claire Danes) holds a black pistol to her head, probably a Walther P-5 with pearl grips.
Special: This gun was later used (with a silencer) by Willem Dafoe in The Boondock Saints. Charles Taylor was the armorer on both The Boondock Saints and Romeo + Juliet, and his company MAG supplied all guns for both shows. It could be the same P5; the pearl grips might have simply been removed for the later film. -MT2008
- Touché. Well researched.
Actually the gun in use is a mauser hsc, look at the hammer and trigger guard.
- No, it is not an HSC, the HSC has a different barrel. It's actually a P5C, the compact version, which has a spurred hammer and shorter barrel. -MT2008
Heckler & Koch MP5K
One of the uniformed guards at the Capulet party is armed with an H&K MP5K submachinegun.
Glock 17
Colt M16A1
Near the end of the film, one of the Verona Beach Police SWAT officers in the background holds an M16A1 rifle. A number of M16A1 rifles can be seen in the hands of the Verona Beach Police SWAT officers in the film.
Colt Commando
Carried by the Verona Beach Police SWAT officers.
FN FAL
Carried by the Verona Beach Police SWAT officers.
Heckler & Koch MP5A2 and MP5A3 submachine guns
Carried by numerous Verona Beach Police SWAT team officers. A number of MP5s can be seen fitted with tactical scopes.
Heckler & Koch G3
The Heckler & Koch G3 can be seen being carried by the Verona Beach Police SWAT officers.
