Revision as of 22:10, 6 November 2008
The following guns were used in the movie 16 Blocks
Glock 17
Generation 2 Glock 17 pistols appear in the film as the standard sidearm of the New York City Police officers, including Det. Jack Mosley (Bruce Willis) and Det. Frank Nugent (David Morse). Some can also be seen equipped with tactical flashlights being used by N.Y.P.D. SWAT officers.
Ithaca 37
The Ithaca 37 shotgun appears in the film as the weapon of choice for N.Y.P.D. SWAT officers during the hostage situation aboard the bus.
H&K MP5A3
The H&K MP5A5 appears in the film being used by N.Y.P.D. SWAT, most notably during the raid on the apartment at the beginning of the film, and during the hostage situation on the bus. As with most SWAT weapons, they are fitted with Surefire dedicated forend weaponlights.
- Although the one in the screenshot below is an MP5A5, most of the MP5s used by the SWAT officers in the film are the A3 variant, with both SEF- and Navy-style lower receivers. Look closely, for instance, at the MP5s when the officers' truck arrives at the scene and they're all being issued the weapons. All of those guns definitely have the SEF-style lowers.
Remington 700
During the hostage situation aboard the bus N.Y.P.D. snipers can be seen with Remington 700 rifles. One is later used by a SWAT sniper at the courthouse to kill one of the corrupt cops as he's attempting to kill Detective Jack Mosley (Bruce Willis).
Beretta M92FS
While transporting Eddie Bunker (Mos Def) to the trial, Mosley (Bruce Willis) and Eddie are attacked by assassins wielding suppressed Beretta M92FS pistols.
Remington Spartan
During the encounter with Detective Frank Nugent (David Morse) at the bar, Mosley takes a Remington Spartan model 12ga double-barreled sawed off shotgun from behind the counter and uses it to shoot one of the corrupt officers, then hold off the others while he and Eddie make their escape, dumping it in a trash can outside. When asked why he discarded the weapon, Mosley replied that it hadn't been fired in 20 years and that it was luck that it fired at all. Originally, the Remington Spartan line of entry level shotguns was produced by Baikal, a Russian manufacturer.
Smith & Wesson Model 36
After losing his Glock at the bar, Mosley returns to his home and retrieves a Smith & Wesson Model 36 revolver from his closet. He then uses it as a backup weapon throughout the film after taking another Glock from one of the corrupt cops pursuing him. Eddie uses it briefly when he sneaks up on Nugent from behind, holding him at gunpoint with it while Mosley handcuffs him. These were authorized (and may still be) as back-up and off-duty guns for NYPD. It is an all steel hammerless J-frame with a 5 shot cylinder that fires only .38 special ammo.
Walther PPK
When persuing Mosley and Eddie through Chinatown, Nugent (David Morse) pulls a Walther PPK from a hidden ankle holster, firing both it and his Glock 17 akimbo when he bursts into the room where the two are holed up.
