Revision as of 02:08, 1 August 2008
The following weapons were used in The Siege:
Sig-Sauer P226
The main protagonist of the film, FBI ASAC (Assistant Special Agent in Charge) Anthony 'Hub' Hubbard (Denzel Washington) and several of his fellow Agents carry Sig-Sauer P226 pistols as their standard sidearms.
H&K MP5
During the bus incidents, N.Y.P.D. SWAT members can be seen carrying two versions of the MP5, specifically the MP5A2 and MP5A3, the former of which have Surefire dedicated fore end lights as per norm with SWAT-issue MP5s. FBI SWAT members can also be seen carrying MP5A3's fitted with laser pointers and red dot sights during the raid on the terrorist safehouse.
Remington M700 Sniper Rifle
During the incident with the second bus, N.Y.P.D. SWAT marksmen can be seen getting into position with M700 sniper rifles.
Glock 19
The N.Y.P.D. officers throughout the movie carry Glock 19 pistols as their sidearms. Some of the FBI and CIA agents also use them.
Uzi
During the incident at the schoolhouse, the terrorist holding hostages can be seen wielding an Uzi as he paces about. Despite having the responding police and FBI personnel out-gunned, he's still easily taken down when Agent Hubbard catches him off guard. One of the terrorists in the safehouse raid is also seen using an Uzi. This is a slight cultural irony, as the Uzi is primarily produced in Israel, and is being used by Arab terrorists.
AKM
When the FBI raids the terrorist safehouse, one of the terrorists engages the FBI in a shootout using an AKM rifle, though is inevitably taken down, even shooting one of his own comrades when he strays into his field of fire.
Remington 870
The Remington 870 shotgun makes several appearances in the film, mostly in the hands of Agent Hubbard's men when conducting raids to provide extra firepower that their pistols lack. N.Y.P.D. officers responding to the schoolhouse incident can also be seen carrying the Remington 870 Folding Stock version, albeit with standard-capacity magazines.
M16A2
The M16A2 assault rifle features prominently in the movie, almost every soldier involved in the occupation of New York City is seen carrying one. A notable point in the film is that when Maj. General William Deveraux (Bruce Willis) is describing what the occupation will entail, he distinctly mentions the "M16A1 assault rifle", though the U.S. military had switched to the M16A2 years prior to the events in the film, and indeed the A2 version is the most prevalent, but sharp eyes can spot at least one appearance of the A1 version (I think it's in the hands of a soldier going across the Brooklyn Bridge when martial law is first declared). Another M16A2 can be briefly seen carried by one of the terrorists holding hostages during the second bus siege.
M203 Grenade Launcher
Another weapon used by the Army in New York City is the M203 grenade launcher, mounted on their M16 assault rifles. It's hard to see, but one can be spotted being held by one of the guards outside the stadium the Army uses as a concentration camp.
M60 Machine Gun
In several scenes, Humvees and Cadillac-Gage Commando APCs can be seen with M60 machine guns mounted on them, most notably when the Army crashes the FBI raid on the Redhook chop-shop.
Browning M2 Heavy Machine Gun
In the scene where the Army opens fire on the Redhook chop-shop, one of the Commando APCs can be briefly seen with a Browning M2 heavy machine gun on the roof.
Beretta M9 (M92FS)
Another weapon used by the Army is the Beretta M9 pistol. One soldier can be seen holding one on the FBI Agent that the soldiers mistake for Hubbard, and another is presumably the weapon General Deveraux kills Tariq Husseini (Amro Salama) with.
Colt 9mm SMG
During the opening scene in which several American black ops soldiers capture the Sheik, they use Colt 9mm submachine guns which appear to be fitted with C-More sights.
M26 hand grenade
During the raid on the Redhook chop-shop, one of the terrorists inside uses the distraction created by the arrival of the Army to pull an M26 hand grenade, the detonation of which provokes the soldiers outside to open up on the shop with everything they have, Agent Hubbard and Tariq Husseini barely surviving the onslaught.
Ruger P95
During the standoff at the bath house, Samir Nazhde (Sami Bouajila) holds Sharon Bridger (Annette Benning) at gunpoint using a Ruger P95 pistol. After several tense moments, Sharon attempts to break free from Nazhde, only to end up with a mortal gunshot wound to the stomach from the pistol.
