Double Impact (1990)

Double Impact is a 1991 action film starring Jean-Claude Van Damme in dual roles as a set of twins who are raised in separate countries and environments after their parents are killed, and with no knowledge of each other. They join forces to take down the man responsible for their parents' deaths and their stolen inheritance. Van Damme portrays both Alex, a French-raised karate instructor fond of short-shorts and the color pink, and Chad, a low level crook raised in Hong Kong and fond of cigars and leather jackets.

The following weapons were used in the film Double Impact


Handguns

Desert Eagle Mark IV

A Desert Eagle MK IV fitted with a cumbersome 1980's laser sight mounted on top is used by a Triad in the drug factory shootout. Judging by the size of the bore, it was most likely a .357 Magnum version. Being the most popular version in early '90 movies.

Look at the size of the bore. Very small considering the actor isn't a big man either.

Beretta 92FS

Alex (Jean-Claude Van Damme) uses a Beretta 92FS during the raid on the warehouse, chambering it upside down after a dive roll into combat. He later draws his second Beretta and dual-wields them for the duration of the warehouse shootout.

If you look close at the barrel when the slide locks back, you can see that it could be a 9mm version.

Kongberg 1911

A unknown Smith & Wesson (looks like the words 'Smith & Wesson' are on the barrel) is used by Triad's to coerce Chad into going with them.

Definitely a 6 shooter. Most likely a 38spl

Looks like a medium frame with a huge trigger guard.

It appears to be a M27 with a 3.5 inch barrel from the last picture.

Smith & Wesson Model 29

A Smith & Wesson Model 29 is used by Triad gangsters throughout, and also used by Frank alongside his M1911 during the opening shootout.

Wait - in the 2nd picture, how is the trigger back that far and a round not have gone off? Movie mistake?

Answer: Notice that the hammer is cocked, and the revolver is now functioning in single-action mode. Therefore, the trigger SHOULD be that far back, and thus, this is NOT a movie mistake.

Shotguns

Remington 870
