Firepower is a British action adventure film made by Michael Winner in 1979. The main witness of the planned process against drug underworlds king is murdered. His wife Adele Tasca (Sophia Loren), to reunite with his former lover Jerry Fanon (James Coburn), a professional killer and together with another adventurer of occupation Catlett (O.J. Simpson) decides to lead a ruthless war against the Mafia´s seemingly impregnable fortress.
The following weapons can be seen in the film Firepower:
Walther P38
Smith & Wesson 39
Halpin (Fred Stuthman) used Smith & Wesson 39 pistol.
Smith & Wesson Model 10
Smith & Wesson Model 19 Stub
Uzi
MAT-49
M1 Carbine
Modified L1A1
Leo Gelhorn (George Grizzard) uses a custom shortened L1A1 SLR. The rifle is similar to the South African R1 "Battle Carbine" although it has an L1A1 front sight and carry handle (it also features "sand cuts" on the bolt carrier, which are zig-zag grooves typically only found on commonwealth rifles that were designed as a self cleaning measure for removing dust and sand from the action). The rifles appears to be the same one that was used by Ian Yule in The Wild Geese
25mm Olin Flare Gun
An 25mm Orion flare gun is used by Jerry Fanon to ignite some fuel. The gun used is based on an older model that was commercially available under the Winchester "Olin" brand before it became Orion. These flare pistols had a black satin finish and bright orange grips, which are the inverse colours of the current Orion models with white and blue colours.
