The following guns were used in the movie Léon (The Professional)
Beretta 92
Léon's (Jean Reno) signature pistols are Beretta 92F models with compensators and suppressors. A compensator reduces rising of the barrel during rapid fire by redirecting propellant gases. We briefly see Mathilda (Natalie Portman) assembling Léon's (Jean Reno) Berettas although we never see her take a shot. It's a bit unusual because a suppressor is supposed to avoid the gases to escape from a shot and a compensator lets gases out which contradicts the function of a suppressor.
Mini Uzi
The Fatman (Frank Senger) packs a pair of Mini Uzis which he empties quite ineffectively. One of his bodyguards is also armed with a Mini Uzi.
Beretta 93R
During Léon's (Jean Reno) opening hit a pair of the Fatman's bodyguards are armed with Beretta 93R machine pistols.
Mossberg 500 "Cruiser"
Norman Stansfield (Gary Oldman) uses the Mossberg 500 "Cruiser" to murder Mathilda's family. It has been outfitted with a tactical flashlight placed under the barrel and a six shot spare shell holder mounted on the receiver.
AP-9
During the attack on Mathilda's (Natalie Portman) family's apartment one of Stansfield's (Gary Oldman) men is armed with an AP-9 which he uses to kill Mathilda's (Natalie Portman) little brother.
Remington 870 Express Deer
Mathilda's father (Michael Badalucco) pulls a Remington 870 Express Deer 12 gauge shotgun on Stansfield (Gary Oldman) and shoots him in the shoulder during the attack on his apartment.
Smith & Wesson Model 586
Léon (Jean Reno) packs a Smith & Wesson Model 586 revolver in several scenes.
Ruger SP101
Léon's (Jean Reno) case is packed with a Ruger SP101 revolver, and a Springfield M1911-A2 SASS pistol.
Smith & Wesson 629 44 Mag Revolver
Norman Stansfield (Gary Oldman) keeps a Smith Wesson 629 44 Mag revolver that has a 3 inch barrel and unfluted cylinder as his duty sidearm.
M4 Spectre
Seen in Leon's case but not used or even handled by Leon -- but it is used by the drug dealer in the Ring Trick scene of the Special Edition.
Springfield 1911A1 (Mathilda's Pistol)
Mathilda's (Natalie Portman) paintball pistol is a Springfield 1911A1.
Springfield M1911-A2 SASS
Léon's (Jean Reno) case is packed with a Ruger SP101 revolver, a Beretta Inox, and a Springfield M1911-A2 SASS pistol.
Heavily customized AR-15 (Mathilda's Rifle)
Mathilda (Natalie Portman) uses a paintball firing air rifle in her practice hit on the jogging politician in the park. The prop itself is a heavily modified AR-15 and it's very unlikely it actually fired the paintball. (The bore diameter alone is too small for any usable paintball (especially for the 'splat' seen on film), and no paint ball rifle, no matter how large, can hit a target that far away, since such a long distance shot would require (a) the weight of a real bullet (b) barrel rifling that would destroy most paint ball outer covers and (c) the velocity only a live round can deliver.)
NOTE: Simunitions could not have been used for the shot. Even though it is a cartridge with a paint bullet, the powder load and ballistics of Simunitions make it an impossible shot at the distance suggested in the movie.
It's a Bushmaster V-Match with standard weight barrel, shaved gas block and free floating handguard tube and a Bell & Carlson AR15 Thumbhole stock. It has blued Bushmaster 20 round magazines (the kind available in the early 1990s), a Harris Bipod and a dummy short 'suppressor' for the end of the threaded barrel.
Heckler & Koch HK33A3
The HK33A3 is used by several members of the SWAT team that Stansfield (Gary Oldman)sends to Léon's(Jean Reno)apartment.
SIG SG543
Two members of the SWAT team that attack Léon's apartment are equipped with SIG SG543 carbines.
SIG SG540
The SWAT officer who enters Léon's apartment after the first team is eliminated carries a SIG SG540 rifle.
Ruger Mini-14
The Ruger Mini-14 is seen in the hands of NYPD ESU officers who arrive at Léon's apartment during the final shootout.
Sig P228
Used by one of the corrupt DEA agents Benny (Keith A. Glascoe).
IMI Galil ARM
One of the SWAT officers in the first team that enters Léon's apartment is seen armed with a IMI Galil ARM
M16
One of the SWAT officers is seen armed with an M16 rifle.
AA-52 machine gun
Used by the SWAT team to launch a grenade into Léon's apartment towards the end of the film.
Trivia Note: The actor (Keith A. Glascoe) who played Benny was also a real life NYC Firefighter. He died rescuing people from the South Tower of the World Trade Center on Sept. 11th, 2001.
