The following guns were used in the movie Vantage Point:
'Vantage Point' is a 2008 action thriller focusing on an assassination attempt on the President of the United States Henry Ashton (William Hurt) as he promotes a treaty to fight international terrorism in Salamanca, Spain told from the different view points of Global News Network producer Rex Brooks (Sigourney Weaver), United States Secret Service Agents Thomas Barnes (Dennis Quaid) and Kent Taylor (Matthew Fox), video camera owner Howard Lewis (Forest Whitaker), Spanish police officer Enrique (Eduardo Noriega), deadly terrorists Suarez (Said Taghmaoui) and Veronica (Ayelet Zurer), and blackmailed former special forces member Javier (Edgar Ramirez). Due to principle filming being done in Mexico City, some of the firearms in the film (notably the Beretta 92FS pisols) are reproduction blank replicas instead of blank converted registered firearms, likely due to lack of availability.
The issued sidearm of USSS agent Thomas Barnes (Dennis Quaid) is a SIG-Sauer P229 pistol chambered in 9x19mm, instead of the correct .357 SIG ammunition chambered for the real life USSS SIG pistols.
The most commonly used gun in the film is the Beretta 92FS pistol, seen carried by Spanish police officer Enrique (Eduardo Noriega), as well as all of the terrorists in the film. USSS Agent Kent Taylor (Matthew Fox) is curious seen using a Beretta as his sidearm, instead of the correct SIG-Sauer P229 pistol typically issued to Secret Service. Many of the Berettas appear to be Bruni Model 92 8mm stage firing blank replicas. Many of them have the proper Beretta logo grips though, so they could have been installed on the props, or actual Berettas may have been used depending on location of filming.
A Glock 17 with a chrome slide and fitted with a suppressor is used by the former special forces soldier Javier (Edgar Ramirez) when he kidnaps President Ashton (William Hurt).
Heckler & Koch MP5A2 Navy submachine guns are seen throughout the film in the hands of Spanish police officers, some seen with two magazines clamped together.
A Heckler & Koch PSG-1, mounted on an automated platform, is used by the terrorists to conduct the initial attack on the President. The PSG-1's distinctive wooden grip is featured during the scene when agent Taylor disassembles it.
The Remington 700PSS rifle appears in the hands of Secret Service snipers in the film, fitted with folding bipods. A few rifles actually may be M40's, but most of the close-up shots use R700's.
