Snake's sidearm in the film is a [[Smith & Wesson Model 67]] with a scope mounted on it. During the climax, Maggie ([[Adrienne Barbeau]]) fires it at the Duke before she is run down by him. You can tell it's a Model 67 because it has adjustable sights but lacks the shrouded lug that protects the ejector rod like on the [[Smith & Wesson Model 66]]. Therefore it's a 38 Special revolver and not a .357 Magnum. If it was a [[Smith & Wesson Model 65]] it would not have adjustable sights. The Model 67 can also be differentiated from the Model 65 due to the slightly shorter (.38 Special only) cylinder. The Model 67 is the stainless steel counterpart of the [[Smith & Wesson Model 15|Smith & Wesson Model 15 Combat Masterpiece]]. | Snake's sidearm in the film is a [[Smith & Wesson Model 67]] with a scope mounted on it.

Revision as of 03:55, 9 August 2015
Escape from New York is a 1981 dystopian action film co-written, co-scored, and directed by John Carpenter. Set in the then future year of 1997, the film stars Kurt Russell as Snake Plissken, a hardened convict who is asked by the US government to rescue the President (Donald Pleasence), who has crash landed on the island of Manhattan, now sealed off to become the world's largest prison. Russell would return as Plissken in 1996's Escape from L.A..
The following weapons can be seen in the film Escape from New York:
Submachine Guns
MAC-10
The main weapon the USPF issues to Snake Plissken (Kurt Russell) is a MAC-10 fitted with a rifle scope that is mounted onto a sound suppressor. After Snake is captured, the Duke of New York (Isaac Hayes) uses it for the remainder of the film, notably taunting the President with it in front of his gang. The Duke uses it in single shot only and the sound effects heard when fired are not silenced shots.
Revolvers
Smith & Wesson Model 67
Snake's sidearm in the film is a Smith & Wesson Model 67 with a scope mounted on it. During the climax, Maggie (Adrienne Barbeau) fires it at the Duke before she is run down by him. You can tell it's a Model 67 because it has adjustable sights but lacks the shrouded lug that protects the ejector rod like on the Smith & Wesson Model 66. Therefore it's a 38 Special revolver and not a .357 Magnum. If it was a Smith & Wesson Model 65 it would not have adjustable sights. The Model 67 can also be differentiated from the Model 65 due to the slightly shorter (.38 Special only) cylinder. The Model 67 is the stainless steel counterpart of the Smith & Wesson Model 15 Combat Masterpiece.
Rifles
M16/SP1
The U.S. Police Force Soldiers throughout the film and U.S.S.S. Agents in the Air Force One hijack scene use slab side M16/AR-15 SP1 rifles with their hand guards removed and replaced with a slender plastic sleeve that wraps around the barrel and gas tube, in order to make them look more "futuristic". Some of the rifles have three-prong flash hiders, and others have the M16A1-style 'birdcage' flash hider. Near the conclusion of the film, the President (Donald Pleasence) in a freak rage is seen using one taken from a dead U.S.P.F. guard to kill the Duke of New York (Isaac Hayes).
Smith & Wesson Model 10 Snubnose
Bob Hauk (Lee Van Cleef) is seen checking a nickel-plated Smith & Wesson Model 10 snubnose before his meeting with Snake.
Other
Flintlock Guns
Various flintlock long guns and pistols are displayed in the office.
Various Crossbows
