Terminal Velocity (1994)

Terminal Velocity is a 1994 action thriller starring Charlie Sheen as a skydiving instructor dealing with a tragic accident involving an inexperienced skydiver he took up on her first jump. When he discovers that all is not what it seems, he finds himself dealing with a larger conspiracy. The film, which also co-stars Nastassja Kinski and James Gandolfini, was written and co-produced by David Twohy, and is somewhat notable for being one of the earliest films to feature the then-new Heckler & Koch USP pistol.


The following weapons were used in the film Terminal Velocity:
