The following firearms were used in the film Assassins:
WARNING! Several images seen below give away spoilers for several major plot points in the film but are necessary to show the weapon used.
Ruger Mk I
Robert Rath (Sylvester Stallone) and Miguel Bain (Antonio Banderas) both use integrally suppressed Ruger Mk II pistols. Bain comments to Rath that he began to carry the "Ruger .22" once he found out that it was the same weapon Rath used in his assassinations. Electra (Julianne Moore) also uses Rath's Ruger on several occasions. It is identified as a MK II since the receiver has beveled cuts and MK I's did not. Mark I's came with fixed & adjustable sights. Mk I's also all have a "european release" for the clip also known as a "heel release"., The Rugers used in the film are clearly Mk II's as they have the beveled cut recievers (where you pull the "action" back to cock it.. -- The standard Ruger .22 has always been available with fixed (standard model)& adjustable sights (target model). It could be a MKI or MKII. -- All of the Ruger pistols are MK II if they have the slide release - and they are not integrally suppressed they have screw on cylinders. As with most movies there are many inconsistancies and I would say that during filming they used Mark I's & Mark II's throughout the whole movie. Also you may visit the website for Ruger & find the information out for yourself that I have just corrected here today. It is entirely possible to use the "action" from a Mark II Ruger and place it upon the frame of a Mark I Ruger. However it is not suggested or implied to do this. You should always use, follow, practice the guidelines set forth by the manufacturer and saftey manuals.
Remington Model 700
Robert Rath (Sylvester Stallone) uses a suppressed and scoped Remington Model 700 in 1980 to shoot at his former partner, Nicolai.
Walther PP
When Robert Rath (Sylvester Stallone) is walking one of his marks, an ex-hitman named Ketcham (Muse Watson), through a forest. Later, Rath ejects the magazine out of the suppressed PP and hands it to Ketcham, stating "it's chambered". Ketcham then uses his own Walther PP to kill himself, saying "goodbye old friend" before shooting himself in the head.
Claridge Hi-Tec/Goncz GC
Miguel Bain (Antonio Banderas) uses a suppressed Goncz GC carbine in the cemetery to kill Alan Branch (Steve Kahan) at the funeral. During his escape from police custody, he retrieves the weapon (which is oddly still loaded after his arrest) and uses it while in the taxi with Rath. (It may also be a Claridge LEC9).
Beretta 92FS
Several of Alan Branch's bodyguards (David Dollase and Jim Graham) fire Beretta 92FS pistols at Bain after he takes out Alan Branch in the cemetery. A male Interpol agent in the hotel (Dave Young) that Bain assassinates in the hallway also has a Beretta, albeit suppressed.
Smith & Wesson Model 10
The policemen arresting Miguel Bain at the cemetery carry Smith & Wesson Model 10 revolvers.
Heckler & Koch USP
One of the Interpol agents posing as a Dutch buyer carries a suppressed Heckler & Koch USP.
SIG-Sauer P226
Another Interpol agent posing as a Dutch buyer carries a suppressed SIG-Sauer P226.
Glock 17
The other Interpol agent posing as a Dutch buyer carries a suppressed Glock 17.
Sphinx AT-380M
Miguel Bain (Antonio Banderas) uses a two-tone Sphinx AT380 with a suppressor as he breaks into the room with the Interpol agents.
Remington Model Seven
Miguel Bain (Antonio Banderas) uses an integrally suppressed Remington Model 7 compact tactical rifle with a Leatherwood ART scope and thumb cut stock while waiting for Robert Rath in San Juan. Electra (Julianne Moore) eventually gets her hands on the rifle and fumbles to use it, but manages to take a few shots at Bain. She later gives it to Robert Rath (Sylvester Stallone) who disables it by removing the bolt. This rifle differs from the classic Remington 700 action in that the receiver is shorter than a standard length and takes shorter but still powerful cartridges. It is designed to be a tactical bolt action rifle that is compact and can be easily fired from minimal cover. The 'sportsman' version is the Predator and CDL and is promoted as a rifle for "thick cover hunting."
MAC-10
The guard at the San Juan bank carries a suppressed MAC-10. Why a bank guard needs a suppressed submachine gun is never explained.
Heckler & Koch P9S
Rath's ex-partner Nicolai Tashlinkov (Anatoli Davidov) confronts him, Electra, and Bain in the finale with a suppressed Heckler & Koch P9S.
