==SIG-Sauer P250 Compact==
John Cale ([[Channing Tatum]]) retrieves a [[SIG-Sauer P250#SIG-Sauer P250 Compact|SIG-Sauer P250 Compact]] with a threaded barrel from a fallen Secret Service agent. He uses the P250 until he is able to acquire a Brügger & Thomet APC9 submachine gun.
White House Down is a 2013 action film directed by Roland Emmerich and stars Channing Tatum as John Cale, a Capitol Police Officer and failed Secret Service applicant who finds himself trapped after heavily armed mercenaries seize the White House. He then proceeds to find President James Sawyer (Jamie Foxx) and the two try to find a way to thwart the terrorists. The film was released in the U.S. on June 28, 2013, only a few months following the release of the similarly-themed Olympus Has Fallen.
The following weapons were used in the film White House Down:
John Cale (Channing Tatum) uses a Glock 19 pistol as his sidearm while serving as the bodyguard of Speaker of the House Eli Raphaelson (Richard Jenkins).
Special Agent Martin Walker (James Woods) uses a Beretta 92FS as his main weapon throughout the film. A few of the uniformed Secret Service officers are also armed with Berettas, which the mercenaries use to seize control of the White House.
Cale uses a Springfield Armory XD taken from Vadim (Anatoly Zinoviev) for much of the movie. He later gives it to President James Sawyer (Jamie Foxx) to protect himself while they flee through the White House catacombs.
Uniformed and plainclothes Secret Service agents are armed with SIG-Sauer P229 E2 pistols. Emil Stenz (Jason Clarke) uses a captured P229 E2 to seize control of the White House.
John Cale (Channing Tatum) retrieves a SIG-Sauer P250 Compact with a threaded barrel from a fallen Secret Service agent. He uses the P250 until he is able to acquire a Brügger & Thomet APC9 submachine gun.
The Brügger & Thomet APC9 is used by several of the mercenaries who seize the White House, including including Stenz and Killick (Kevin Rankin). The submachine gun seen is fitted with a tan upper receiver, an EOTech XPS2 sight, tactical light and suppressor. Cale uses one after seizing it from Ritter (Andreas Apergis) early in the film.
Stenz uses a Heckler & Koch MP5A3 with a suppressor while seizing control of the White House. Stenz's right hand man Motts (Falk Hentschel) uses a MP5A3 with tan furniture, a RIS handguard and foregrip, which is later taken by Cale when he rescues President Sawyer.
A couple of Heckler & Koch MP5SD submachine guns can be seen in the White House armory. Although the mercenaries are seen grabbing the MP5SDs, they turn into MP5A3s with suppressors when they are fired.
Some of the mercenaries are armed with M4A1 carbines with EOTech XPS2 sights. Agents from the Secret Service Emergency Response Team are also armed with M4A1s, as are U.S. Army soldiers and U.S. Marines.
Vadim (Anatoly Zinoviev) is armed with a SIG SG 552 carbine while searching for the President in the White House living quarters. Cale takes the SG 552 and uses it while eluding Stenz.
The mercenaries use a Minigun mounted on a Secret Service Chevrolet Suburban during a car chase on the White House lawn. John Cale is also uses a Minigun later in the film.
President Sawyer uses a hand grenade as a distraction when he is confronted by Walker and Stenz at the White House pool. Grenades are later used during a fight between Stenz and Cale.
The mercenaries use a FGM-148 Javelin to fend off attacking helicopters. While the Javelin is designed as an anti-tank weapon, it uses an IR (heat-seeking) guidance system like those used on air-to-air missiles, allowing it to easily engage helicopters.
The launcher in the film is depicted as a standard hard-launch missile launcher, instead of a soft-launch (where the missile is pneumatically ejected a safe distance and then ignites its motor).
President James Sawyer (Jamie Foxx) uses an RPG-7D paratrooper model made to look like the Airtronic RPG-7 in the film. It is done so by the addition of the M4-style stock and RIS rails. The type used is distinguishable from the standard RPG-7 by its takedown feature and the safety latch extension that is visible under the launch tube to prevent the sear from functioning when the launcher is in two pieces. Two separate rocket types can be seen being used with this weapon; the PG-7VM and the larger PG-7VL.
