The Package is a 1989 thriller starring Gene Hackman as US Army sergeant who loses the prisoner he was transporting from Germany to the United States. He then discovers that the prisoner is actually part of a conspiracy involving military officers in both the American and Russian military. The film was directed by Andrew Davis (who would later direct Tommy Lee Jones in Under Siege and The Fugitive.)
The following guns were used in the film The Package:
Pistols
Beretta 92F
Several conspirators use the Beretta 92F in the film. Boyette (Tommy Lee Jones) is seen using a suppressed Beretta in the climax of the film.
Makarov PM
The fake MP (Michael Skewes) driving the car at the end of the film pulls what appears to be a suppressed Makarov PM pistol. Strangely, the gunshot sounds unsuppressed when he fires the weapon (possibly because even a suppressed shot sounds loud inside a car).
M1911A1
Sgt. Johnny Gallagher (Gene Hackman) uses the M1911A1 in the diner shootout. General Carlson (Joe Greco) and his bodyguards draw their M1911's at the beginning of the film after they are ambushed.
Smith & Wesson 659
One of the gunmen at the diner shootout uses a Smith & Wesson 659. The fake MP (Johnny Lee Davenport) left behind to guard Gallagher draws a S&W fitted with a silencer that Gallagher later is able to retrieve after he subdues him.
Revolvers
Smith & Wesson Model 19
The snub version of the Smith & Wesson Model 19 Snub Nose Revolver is the main sidearm of Chicago PD Lt. Milan Delich (Dennis Franz).
Smith & Wesson Model 36
Lt. Col. Eileen Gallagher (Joanna Cassidy) carries a Smith & Wesson Model 36 in her briefcase and uses it during the garage shootout.
Rifles
M16A1
Some of Gallagher's field soldiers in Germany carry the M16A1 as their main rifle.
Steyr AUG
The sniper rifle that Boyette (Tommy Lee Jones) uses in the assassination attempt at the end of the film is the Steyr AUG. It is fitted with high-power scope and suppressor. A duplicate Steyr AUG is found in the office of the real Walter Hanke (Kevin Crowley).
Shotguns
Remington 870
Gallagher's (Gene Hackman) sidearm in Germany is the Police folder version of the Remington 870.
Ithaca 37 "Stakeout"
The gunman (Juan Ramirez) who flees the diner grabs an Ithaca 37 stakeout from behind the counter of a liquor store.
Submachine Guns
MAC-10
Some of Gallagher's field soldiers in Germany can be seen with the MAC-10 as they engage the assassination squad.
Micro-Uzi
The disguised female assassin (Diane Timmerman) uses a Micro Uzi in the ambush of General Carlson in Germany.
Mini-Uzi
The disguised male assassin (Charles Mueller) uses a Mini Uzi in the ambush of General Carlson in Germany.
Uzi
An assassin fires a full size Uzi from a car at Gallagher and his men at the beginning of the film.
Heckler & Koch MP5A3
Co-conspirators disguised as West Berlin police are armed with MP5A3 submachine guns as they apprehend the hikers intercepted by Gallagher and his men in Germany.
